Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-11-30
REV. SAM SMALL
IN HUNTINGDON
He Will Lecture on "Uncle Sans
Water Wagon"---A Speaker
of National Reputation
At M. {. CHURCH NEXT FRIDAY EVENING

The Tennessee Anti-Saloon League
cooperating with the National League
is staging the greatest prohibition
campaign that has ever been attempt
ed in Tennessee. Speaking of this
campaign, DIR. J. D. McAlister, the
Superintendent Of the State League
says:
"There will be over two hundred
meetings in the interest of prohibit
ton conducted throughout Tennessee
within the next ten weeks. These
meetings begin at Chattanooga on
Sunday, November II, and for the
so days or more, leading prohibition
speakers Of America will give To-
our people, in vigorous and eloquent
address, news of prohibitions mighty
strides throughout the country and
the world, and will unfold the latest
plans for dry U. S. A.
The campaign has three different
purposes: % to put over total war
time prohibition at the coming SEES
sion of Congress; %, to secure dur
ing the early days Of the congress
sional session, beginning December 6
the passage of the Constitutional Pro-
hibition Amendment, and, (3l, to
secure the complete protection from
drink and vice, of our soldier boys,
both at home and in France.
The Anti-Saloon League believes
hat mothers and fathers in the
United States, who are sending their
BOYS to England and France, desire
hat they shall be protected from in

GIN BURNED

Thursday morning of last week
the cotton gin operated by j. T. Mer-
rick at Westport was destroyed by
fire. The gin was running and it is
thought match, passing through the
gin, was ignited setting fire to the
lint which spread rapidly and was
soon beyond the control of those pres
ent. Will Eubanks and Green Har-
ris were feeding the gin when the
blaze was discovered. We understand
that about 80 bales of seed cotton
were either destroyed or badly dam
aged. Quite lot of seed was also
damaged. The loss was heavy, in adj
dition to the amount of cotton lost.
We understand the insurance amount
ed to about $4,000 but this is only
rumor and maypnot be true.
Carroll County democrat. (Huntingdon, Tenn.) 188?-1971, 1917-11-30
Cotton ESTIMATED
UnfavOrabIe Weather OF Fall Cur
tailed the Crop

The Commercial Appeal estimates
the cotton crop of 1917 at 1O,6SS,-
900 bales growth, excluding linters.
This compares with a total growth last
year Of 11,36S,915 bales.
The extraordinarily unfavorable
weather of the fall season has been
responsible for severe curtailment in
the yield. Freezing temperature at
almost record early date brought
unprecedented damage on the late
crop. Furthermore weather condi-
tions through the period between the
last government condition report and
the date of the killing frost were far
from favorable.
Frost and subsequent open weather
favorable to picking have resulted
in advancing the harvest across the
northern half Of the belt to an I'M
usual stage for this period Of the
year. Some small additions to the
yield in this territory are resulting
from the picking Of cracked bolls,
which are run through the gin. But
even SO the damage from frost has
been tremendous.
Picking over the entire. BELTS well
advanced; to much greater extent
than the very late crop would have
seemed to justify. Gins are keeping
well up with the pickers and save in
the case Of wealthy landlords most
growers are selling their product as
ginned. However, these sales are
made only so long as the price holds
steady. Any indication of pro-
nounced decline is met with with
drawal of offers. Most farmers are
out Of debt and well able to finance
their own holdings until such period
as they may choose to sell.
The estimated crop for Tennessee
is fixed at 1913, 900 bales.
