MOST OF STATES
COTTON CROP eATHEREp
Fall has been Best Picking season
for Farmers IN Several Year,
About IS per cent Unpleksd.

Jackson. ~ Farmers Of Mississippi
are agreed that this Is the best
autumn for cotton picking they have
had In many years, and not more than
rs per cent Of the seasons yield re-
mains in the field to be picked. In
some counties the percentage is much
smaller.
During the latter part Of last week
a few heavy showers were reported
in the central counties, but over q
good portion Of the cotton-growing
area there has been practically no
moisture during the past month. This
Is not altogether pleasing. IN view Of
the fact that drought conditions have
developed, especially in the southern
counties where creeks have dried up,
and many farmers are compelled to
haul water for their live stock. Forest
fires covering a considerable area
have also been reported.
The quality Of the staple Is the best
that has been harvested in this state
for many seasons, and the tendency
to hold back the crop from the market
is somewhat general It is a common
sight to see wagons vending their
way back to the farms from the cot
ton gins laden with new-made bales to
be stored awaiting better prices.

At the suggestion Of Judge D. w.
Houston, Of Aberdeen, one Of the at.
torneys for the revenue agent, the
eight attorneys on both sides OF the
case called on Chief Justice Smith and
asked for an early day to hear the ar
gument on the appeal which was
taken by the attorneys representing
the secretary Of state. On Wednes-
day, Oct. Is, the case was argued and
an early decision by the supreme
court is expected. In the meantime
the secretary Of state is forbidden to
put the proposed measure on the
licked to be voted on Nov. Z. Should
the supreme court sustain the position
taken by Judge Potter, the proposed
measure, the petitions fo- which were
filed by Hennessey, Of Vicksburg, and
Austin, Of Jackson, both fire insurance
agents, will not go on Abe November
