MAKES GOOD COTTON
DESPITE BOIL WE'VE

Summerville, Ca, Oct. 27.-Chat-
tanooga county still will produce cot
ton, even with the boil weevil
present in unlimited numbers, as is
evidenced by the statement of NJ
S. Presley, a farmer living in the
eastern part of Chattanooga county,
near Gore.
Mr.. Presley planted one acre,
which was measure by S. E. Jones,
county school superintendent of this
ccuaty, in cotton, the Culpepper va
ricty being selected for the test. The
cotton thrived despite the activities
Of the weevil. Last week the seed
cotton grown on this acre was car
red to the gin at Gore and was
weighed and ginned by Luke Prick
EFT. The cotton weighed 1,l6O
pounds in the seed and the net
weight of the bale was AIS.
Tbs regarded as most re-
markable yield for this year, since
the boil weevil has practically ruined
the crop, in many instances from five
to seven acres being required to pro-
duce a single bale. Mr.. Presley be-
lieves that the Culpepper variety
will help the farmers of the county
to beat the boil weevil because it is
an early variety and natures before
the insect gets in it's work.

$5, 900 REWARD FAILS TO
BRING ABOUT ARRESTS
In New York Theft Case-Known
Loss is Nearly Half Million Dol
lars; Police Active.

New York, Oct. 27.-Belief that
the loot in Monday nights daring
hold up would exceed $1,000,000 was
indicated by postoffice authorities to-
day after a partial check of the con-
tents of the five stolen pouches, while
from other sources it was learned
that the total might exceed $2,000,-
900.
Officials of one Wall steret firm
not yet listed as among those affected
by the robbery, said that firm had
sent $1,ooO,ooo in securities by reg
istered mail Monday night, but that
they had been unable to learn wheth-
er it was in one Of the five pouches
taken by the three bandits who held
up the truck.
Known losses made public so far
included $463,O0O in bonds, mailed
to clients by the Chase National
Bank; $4,000 in securities sent out
by Hit, Farewell and Parks; $4,000
In bonds mailed out by Remick, Hod-
ges and Company, and $4,000 in Sc
curities sent out by Galloway Fisk
& Co. All these losses were said to
be covered by private insurance. 1t
also was reported that $50,000 con-
signment of currency was included in
the stolen mail, but this was not con-
frmed by postoffice authorities. 1t
was said a full list of the losses pro-
baby could not be compiled for sew
eial days.
The three men who staged the hold
up were being sought by a large
force of federal agents and city de-
tectives today. A reward of $4,000
for each of the robbers, dead or alive
offered by the postmaster general in
tensifed interest in the man-hunt.
Postofice inspectors also worked
inside the city hall postal station,
where, the stolen pouches in an effort
to determine whether the robbers had
an inside" confederate. The fact
:.!at the robbers picked with unerr-
ing hand from % pouches five which
were richly laden was taken as an
indication that they had as confeder-
ate an employe inside the station.
