Good for Tennis.

1t is Of more than passing in
terest that Henry Breck. a star of
California tennis. has come to the
Capital and is willing to play in all
locad tournaments. A man OF his
caliber should make for greater
popularity for tennis. which is fast
coming to the front and battling for
honors with golf in every section Of
the country.
Washington has. perhaps. more
tennis players than any other city OF
its size. The weather of the Capital
is particularly good for this game.
Warm weather comes early and
stays late. thus allowing the court
performers to get their exercise at
least two months longer than those
farther North.

CRISP GETS GAIN
OF 1926 BALES
DECEMBER REPORT SHOWS CON-
SIDERABLE INCREASE OVER
1915 IN COTTON PoRDUCTioN

The latest report from director Sam
Rogers gives Crisp county 2O,537 bales
ginned up to December 1, this year.
as against 1912 bales in 1915 for the
same period December 1 included
practically all of the crop produced
in the county this year, and the same
was true of 1915.
With probably slight decrease IN
the acreage this year. and notWith-
standing the severe rains and unfa-
yorable conditions that came this year
about the maturing time for the crop,
Crisp county produced this year l,4Zo
bales more than the crop OF 1913.
While the increased yield was much
to be considered, yet the splendld
prices that the staple brought on the
market was the greatest consideration
in favor of this years crop.

Fine Chance to Reduce
Water Rate to, 60 Cents

The annual report of the superin.
tendent w. G. Webb of the city water
works shows that for the year 1916 his
department has gross earning OF
over $4,000. In Mayor Jones annual
message he predicted that the water
rents for 1917 would reach $4,000. 1t
will be noted that the earnings for
1915 were more than $4,000 above the
water rent assessment for the year.
1t will also be noted that the water
works department has on hand a bal
ance of over $4,000 from the 1916 ap-
preparation. In other words this is
money which it had to spend for op-
Grating purposes and which has not
been spent This is considered in
deed handsome sum with which to
pass into the new year.
Mayor Jones, Alderman King, and
possibly others of the members OF
council will start anew for the mini
mum rate of 60 cents per month. AL
derman King has strongly champion
ed this movement and in his annual
message Mayor Jones has urged 1t
again for 1917. 1t looks like mini
mum of so cents on water for 1917.
The report of Superintendent Webb is
given in full below:
