NEWSPAPERS FORCED TO CUT
SIZE AND INCREASE RATES.

New York, Sept. 14.--From brief
Investigations concluded last week by
a newspaper trade journal, a report
was issued today showing that the
American newspapers have attempt
ed to meet the enormous increase in
the cost of white paper by two general
methods; the larger papers Of the
country have cut down the size Of
their publications; the smaller papers,
whose size would not permit cutting,
have discontinued all copies free to
other newspapers and to advertisers
and have made slight advances in
their subscription prices. Some news
papers have also advanced their ad-
vertising rates and others will do 80
on January !, 1917, when most Of the
existing advertising contracts expire.
Of more than 400 daily newspapers
that sent in detailed reports as To-
what steps they will take to meet the
new situation, all admitted that their
profits will be greatly reduced Ia
spite Of all their economies ond nts
advances, unless there 10 : large in-
crease in the amount ofarvertising
they will carry during TIE caulint
winter andsprins.

DAILY COTTON LETTER.

Although the press makes no ref
erence in anyway to yesterdays ru-
NOR of Sweden entering the war, CEN
soils in London today show decline
of Ia, making ga decline in the past
3 days. This suggests that Liverpoors
easiness today with futures 7 points
lower than due, may partly on poll
tics. Spots are quoted lower; sales
1000 bales.
Liverpool weakened near the end,
closing about Is points down. New
York wires said that Neill Bros, OF
Liverpool, give a tentative estimate
of consumption Of 100000 Ameri-
can and that Mr.. Larmour Neill esti-
mates our crop at 100000 with lin
ters.
Weather conditions overnight were
unfavorable. General rains over the
eastern half of the belt, heavy in
Georgia and South Carolina and un-
seasonably cold weather over the
northwest quarter of belt. Indications
are for clearing up, except on the At
lantic coast; continued cold in the
northwestern and north-central belt,
with some frost likely.
Our market opened 6 to 9 lower on
the weakness in Liverpool, but recov-
cred all loss during The first hour on
good support by leading traders on
the bullish consumption forecast
from Neill Bros, however weather
conditions remain the principal influ-
ence, and as clearing weather is in
dicated for the belt, there is more
disposition by the trade in general
to realize over the weekend.

FITZGERALD
DEPOSITS SUM
Amount of Alleged Shortage as Elk.
Sheriff of COahoma County.

jackson, Miss, Sept. 14.-Attorney-
General Ross Collins now holds, as
representing the State of Mississippi,
perfectly solvent and good paper
amounting to over $4,000, which has
been paid over to him by attorneys
representing the state and W. H..
Fitzgerald, Jr., to cover the alleged
shortage in accounts which have been
charged against the ex-sheriff OF Co
ahoma County. The exact amount
paid in by the men representing Mr..
Fitzgerald was $17,231.42, which the
state claims is due on state, county
and levee district accounts, and which
he has volunteered to pay in, pending
a reaudit of the books, which is now
being made.
The payment was made after a
protracted conference, at which At
torney-General Collins and ex-Gov.
Brewer represented the state and
Frank and Lake Robertson and Gerald
Fitzgerald represented ex-Sherltt
Fitzgerald. As previously stated, the
former sheriff of Coahoma was absent
from the state when the suit against
his bondsmen was filed, but immed-
lately upon notification of the alleged
discrepancies in his official accounts
he posted homewards and made ar
rangements to settle for the amount
claimed, pending further scrunity OF
the books.
Just what bearing this will have on
the states case against j. 0. Baugh,
present sheriff of Coahoma County,
alleging shortages in his accounts
during his former term, and against
whom custer proceedings were filed
by direction of Gov. Bilbo early in this
year, remains to be seen. 1t is
current belief that the Fitz-Gerald
case is an outgrowth of the Baugh
case, and the whole looks like very
decided case of mixed pickles, to be
followed by probable further develop
ments.

sociation are going to make special
effort to have strictly enforced the
1916 law making it a misdemeanor for

had the names of a number of drug
gists in various parts of the state who

pharmaceutical statute, and would
take them to the grand juries when
next they meet.

"OLE BILL" IS DEAD.

sole Bill" for many years in the
service Of the city as fire horse,
has passed to his final reward and is
now grazing in pastures new. The
death of this old horse came last
night. For several years his SER
vices have not been required and he
has practically been on the city PEN
sion list. Some time ago a man
wanted to buy him, but the city re-
fused to sell it's faithful servant. He
was given a place of honor in the sta
bles, with light load to pull awaiting
the call of the black angel.
The passing of "Ole Bill' will be
learned of with regret by the people
of Greenwood with many Of whom the
horse was a great favorite.

FARMERS MEET
WELL ATTENDED
How to Beat the Boil Weevil Theme
of Experts-Farmers Enthused
Over Institute Work.

Leland, Miss, Sept. 14.-The Sec
ond days session Of the farmers in
stitute and rally at the delta expert
ment farm at Stoneville was featured
by addresses in the forenoon by Prof.
J. w. Fox, of Scott, on "Cotton
Growing Under Boil Weevil Condi-
tions," and an address on the same
subject by Prof. T. C. Barber of Tai
lulah, La.
The representation of planters was
more than double today what it was
yesterday, and practically all sections
of the state were represented today,
so live is tn subject of boil weevil ex-
termination to the people of the state
generally. This afternoon the pro-
gram consisted of addresses on clover
inoculation by H. M. Parker and soil
bacteriology by DR.. c. F. Briscoe, and
on Judging and showing mules by
Prof. H. X. Gale.
The old-time cartoon picturing the
farmer with long, thin whiskers and
zone galllus," holding pitchfork in
hand, would be woefully out of place
at this institute, as the attendants
compare most favorably with con-
vention Of any professional class, are
wide-awake and fully posted on the.
live topics of today. The large crowd
listened attentively to the discussion
on growing cotton under boil weevil
conditions by the experts today, and
at the conclusion of each address they
began to rapidly fire questions at the
speakers, until fuller discussion Of
theory was necessary. .-
Questions like the following were
Immediately asked by some who were
slow to accept any theory of eradica-
tion, since years of practical expert
ence with them had failed to prove it
to their minds: "Will the weevil mi
CRATE as far north as cotton is
grown? 2" "Does the weevil remain in
the cotton stalks ?" "Is there any GER
tainty as to the life Of the weevil?"
The speaker in each case was ready,
however, with answer. Prof. Barber,
one of the government experts Of the
Mississippi Vally, who has been stud
ying conditions in Louisiana, discuss
ed the spacing Of cotton rows and
stated that the experiment of grow
ing cotton in Louisiana under boil
weevil conditions, where space Of
various widths had been allowed be-
tween the rows, has proven that the
most beneficial results were obtained
with 1S-inch spaces.
The institute visited the plats on the
station grounds this afternoon to OBJ
serve the four special KINGS OF COT
ton recommended and grown success
fully here, which are: Express, Trice,
Lone Star and Columbia.
Regardless Of theory, 1t is the senti-
meht among the greatest number of
delta farmers in this section that the
only way to grow cotton under boil
weevil conditions is to prepare the
land early and plant an early matur-
ing variety, as proven here by the
above tests, where rapid and thorough
cultivation are factors when possible
to carry out

gone up steadily since the war. while
wages have increased but little and
consequently, the poor are having
hard time, while the rich are growing
