Judge Paul B. Johnson.
the leading candidate for
congress to succeed Hon.
Pat Harrison, is in every
way an ideal man to repre-
sent the District, and, with
the great lead he has, it is
only reasonable to assume
that he will be the represen-
tative.
Judge Johnson is young,
vigorous, we'll equipped men
tally, a speaker of unusual
ability, a keen debater, ready
at repartec, possesses rare
good humor, and is altogeth-
er a decidedly attractive per-
sonality.
Such a man is he as Har-
rison, Nenable, Quin and
others Of the younger men
who made early records il
congress and have kept Mis-
sissippi in the eyes of the
nation.
A large majority of the
counties and large plurali-
ty Of the voters have declar-
ed Judge Johnson to be
their choice as Representa-
tive from this District, and
we feel absolutely sure that
this expression Of their de-
sire and confidence will be
emphasized by a very deci-
ded majority vote on the
tenth Of next month.

Review of 1917 Cotton Market
BY Thomson and McKinnon-

ton in America will be the greatest
on record.
The last report published on the
subject was on Dec. 14th, in which
the census department reported
590,763 bales of cotton consumed
during the month OF November.
which compares with 5SS,O44 bales
for the corresponding month OF
1916. At the beginning of the cot
ton season, Aug. LIST, we had a
visible supply of American cotton
of 100000 bales. our maximum
supply during the war period, which
was at the beginning OF the season
of 1855. was 3.2S2,O0O bales; so,
that it becomes apparent that We
have not only consumed all the cot
ton that has been produced, but
made severe inroads into our re-
serves.
With the total supplies further
reduced this year, even moderate
exports in addition to our record
home consumption, would exhaust
supplies before another crop be-
comes available There is a bare
possibility that with strictest econ
omy we may be able 10 pass through
the year and leave a moderate car
ry-Over.
Serious Problem When War Ends.
Should the war, happily. come TO
an end within d reasonably short
time the world would be confronted
with a most serious cotton problem
in all history. The consumption OF
cotton for war purposes would
cease, but this saving would be Off
set many times by the demand tina,
would arise from all the world, and,
particularly. the nations now in the
TeutOnic alliance, as they have,
without a doubt, consumed every
pound of supplies within their
borders. There would be an equal
~ great demand, though perhaps
less urgent. from all other countries
in the world, because the enforced
economy. due to lack of shipping
has reduced reserves to a low stage.
1t becomes. therefore. exceedingly
important that the acreage shall be
materially increased this coming
spring and preparations made for
the production of a very much
larger crop. There is for this SUI
fcient incentive in the prevailins
prices, and. in all likelihood, the
acreage will be limited only by the
supply Of labor: and, it will but re-
main for nature to be kind, as after
all, climatic conditions constitute
the main factor for the final yield.

PARIS, Aug. 13.-Whatever may be

when the Americans entered the town
they ran up against a liberal supply

crossing of the Vesle was a fine piece

they realized the character of the Ger
man opposition. On the heights above
were hidden German machine guns.
