PROGRESS MADE
BY COTTON CROP
Nearly Thirteen Million Bales Esti-
mated.
BIGGEST IN YEARS
Season Begun With Poor Condition
Has Turned to Great Production.

Washington, Dec. 13.-The cotton
crop, which began the season in the
worst condition in SO years, has turn
ed out to be the biggest crop since
1914, with a production of 1887 900
bales, according to final estimates an
nounced today by the department of
agriculture.
The latencss Of winter, the depart-
ment said, has helped to increase the
size of the crop by permitting the
pant which was late in getting
started, to mature.
The price of cotton paid to pro-
ducers December 1 was announced as
IA cents pound, the lowest for that
date since 1915.
The final production estimate is t.
100000 bales more than forecast from
the condition Of the crop late in
June. Vast Improvement was shown
rs the season progressed and the
August condition brought forecast
of 12,783000 bales. That was re-
duccd by the September condition to
u, $4,000 bales.
In Texas and South Carolina the
crop is very large, closely approach
ing the record. Oklahoma's crop is
a record one, as is that of Arkansas.
Production in California and Arizona
has about doubled the production of
any previous year.
Production last year was II 1,420, ,7G3
bales of 500 pounds gross weight, in
1918 it was 12,040,532 bales and IN
1917 it was 11,3O2,375 bales. In COM
putting gross weight bales allowance
is made for 478.3 pounds of lint ana
PIT pounds of bagging and ties.
Production this year by states in
800 pound bales follows: Virginia.
10000; North Carolina, $4,000; South
Carolina, 100000; Georgia, 1,4OO,-
600; Florida, 1S,O00; Alabama, 60o,-
600; Mississippi, $4,000; Louisiana,
38O,oo0; Texas, 100000; Arkansas,

souri,, $4,000; Oklahoma, 1900 900:
California, 10000; Arizona, 10000;
all other states, $4,000.
The average weight per running

]. j. CAVITY GOES TO
HIS OWN FUNERAL

Editor of The Manning Times:
: Several nights since I had q beau
tiful, and at the same time pathetic
dream, in which I witnessed my own
funeral, an din order to bring about
reformation in the manner of con-
Quoting funerals, / wish YOU would
publish this dream. According to the
dream it appeared that much to the
delight of the people of Summerton
a very happy death had overtaken me,
My death occurred at noon on GER
tain day, when the sun was shining
in all it's glory, and in the full light
of day, | went to the eternal happy
hunting grounds, which were prepar-
ed before the foundations of the
world, for all honest men. My friends,
though few in number, gathered
around my dead body, and in harmony
with what they thought would be nv
wish, decided upon the funeral ar
rangements. Knowing that l did not
have great respect for priests and
preachers while alive, my friends de-
cided they would dispense with the
service of priests and preachers at my
funeral. Since l did not belong to any
secret orders while alive, the para
phernalia of secrets orders were per-
force dispensed with at my funeral.
Knowing that l believed that songs
and instrumental music were for the
purpose of bringing joy and pleasure
to the living folks, and not for dead
people, all songs and instrumental
music were dispensed with at my fun
eral. There were no prayers by self
righteous people at my funeral, be-
cause my friends knew full we'll that
| had always maintained while alive
that the only prayer worth while was
clean living. All the usual parapher-
MALTA of funerals being thus dispen-
sed with, through force of necessity,
my friends kindly placed my body in
a metallic coffin, and kindly and silent
ly wended their way to the cemetery,
where my body was gently lowered
beneath the sod and covered with the
rich soil, without the sound of trum-
pet, without a prayer, without a song,
in solemn silence. The little children
OF Summerton, who loved me while
alive, followed the funeral cortege to
the cemetery, and placed lovely flow
ers on my grave, and then my friends
and the children parted in solemn
silence. In the meantime, had been
watching the funeral and the process
sion from my place of vantage in the
eternal happy hunting grounds, and
IL conversation there with great men
whom had cad about and learned to
love on earth, reached the conclusion
that my little funeral at Summerton
was the most decent and appropriate
funeral that has ever taken place since
history was written.
Yours truly,
j. j. CANTEY.

UNABLE
TO PICK COTTON

j. Skottowe Wannamaker, president
OF the American Cotton association,
last night said that he was standing
by the American Cotton association
estimate Of l2,24700O bales as the
total cotton crop for this year, not
wlthstanding the government report
issued yesterday which gave the total
crop as 12,987,00 bales.
"Wc received information this aft
ernoon,' said Mr.. Wannamaker, chat
the government report made no pro
vision for bollics and snaps, which
last year amounted to $50 900. bales.
The government report also includes
the low grade cotton which is still in
the field, and Il very great portion Of
which is going to remain in the
field.
"Farmcrs all over the South are
abandoning the cotton in the fields,
swearing that they will not pick it
unless there is a sharp rise in the
price. This may sound like propa-
ganda, but an investigation by any
body will convince them that it is
the truth.
"At the present prices the farmers
are not able to pick their low grade
cotton. They can not finance it. MANY
thousands of bales will be left in
the fields through necessity. Many
thousands more will be left through
choice.
"Therc is another surprise in store
in cotton circles. A bill has been in
troduced in congress calling for a
survey of the untcnable cotton on
hand. The quantity Of this cotton,
which will be disclosed by the report
which will be made following this
survey, will be surprise. In some
places lintcrs and rcgins arc being
reported as cotton.
81 am standing benin dthe ,Amcri-
can Cotton association estimate Of
12,247, 900 bales rs the total crop for
this year, and | believe that our fig
ures are much nearer correct than
those of the government. Our csti-
mate was made after most careful
survey, l believe that time will prove
that our figures are correct"
