A EAST COON

Over at Muskogee it is reported
that negro porter in hotel was
warned by the Ku Klux Klan to stop
selling whiskey and soliciting for inn
moral women. Later the negro was
caught in the act of selling whiskey
to some boys, and Ku Klux nabbed
him as he returned to the hotel with
the hootch. He was taken out and
given severe thrashing. Looking at
his watch one the Ku Klux said.
Negro, it is now 1900 o'clock, do
you think you can catch that one
o'clock train ?" what time is it
now?" the negro asked. at is twelve
o'clock" he was told. "If you all will

COTTON GOING STILL
HIGHER. PREDICTION
Latest Ginning Report Gives Strength
To The Demand.
From bulletin of Springs and Co.

From bulletin of Springs and Co.
New York Cotton Brokcrs)
In line with the forecast recently
made cotton has backed and filled
howing no definite trend. The cx-
cent Of the advances since September
lcft little else to he expected. Mills
have protected their requirements
sufficiently into the immediate fu-
vclupmcntS in the hope that some
thing will happen to bring about a
recession in price that will make it
possible for them to get some "sheap"
cotton. In this they are likely to be
disappointed, and probably most of
them realize it, but with supplies
on hand they are loath to abandon
waiting attitude.
The cotton ginning report last
week gives little ground for encour-
agcmcnt of the belief in more than
occasional reactions in prices result
ing from technical market situations.
Ginnings to November II totalled
S,Sd9,S57 running bales, against l.
2i,2Ol bales to the same date last
year. From November to Novem
IA there were 730,01S bales ginncd,
against G27,S47 in the same period
last year. The figures do not suggest
that the crop will reach 10000, 900
bales as it not believed the cotton
yet to be ginned will exceed, if it
reaches, 100000 bales.
The outlook in the contract market
is for period of erratic fluctuations
with the trend toward higher levels
and the establishment in all likeli-
hood of 30-cent price before 1923
is in its stride. We suggest the
purchase of January and March con-
tracts on all sizeable breaks, for
there should be many opportunities
for good trading profits to be made
in these options.

LOWER RATE ON OKLAHOMA
COTTON is DENIED

A lower rate on cotton from Okla
homa destined to eastern territory
and Canada. through the port of New
Orleans was denied in a tentative re-
port filed with the Interstate Com
mcrce Commission.
The chief movement of Oklahoma
cotton to the territories mentioned
is all rail through Memphis, st.
Louis or Chicago under rates, but
when moved via New Orleans it is
subject to combination made on
that port, which combination was al
legged to be unreasonable. A rate
of four cents under all rail was asked
for New Orleans movements with the
combination through Galveston to be
the maximum.

AMERICAN CROPS WORTH A
BILLION MORE THAN 1921

According to Government figures
just released the value of the four
principal American crops, cotton,
oats. corn and wheat, is more than
one-billion dollars greater than these
crops brought in 1921, the added val
ues being that much more cash for
the American farmers as body.
Corn alone is worth $625 100000
more thai the 1921 crop. Cotton pro-
duced this year is worth a quarter
of a billion dollars more than 1921
crop, while wheat and oats are worth
hundred and fifty million more.
Should cattle and hog values prove
to run along with grain and cotton
crops, the total farm products val
ues of the county will exceed $780,
100000 more than in 1921.

There are on exhibition at the

two varieties of fall potatoes grown
by Uncle Doug Anderson on J. R.
McKinney's farm northeast of town.
They are among the finest ever seen
here. 1t is proven beyond doubt
that fall potatoes turn out we'll as a

are probably the most useful single

MADE GOOD PROFIT FROM
- RAISING PEANUTS THIS YEAR

Even though the yield per acre of
peanuts turns out to be small, the
profit from the raising of them is
oftentimes good in this country, as
is attcsted by the experience of A. S.
Tucker Bryan county farmer, this
year.
Mr.. Tucker planted rs acres of pea
nuts and threshed from the seventy
five acres 1866 bushels, yield of
only fourteen and one-third bushels
per acre, just about one-fOurth of a
coed yield. He saved back sixty
bushels for seed, and received in cash
$1,492.SS for what was left besides
80 tons of peanut hay for which he
can get $1,000 per ton. 1t is seen
that his yield. above seed for another
crop is worth in cash $23.90 per acre.

mail He doesn't expect to buy

the money TO pay for the stuff.
lie is one of those fellows who
believe it is more blessed to re-
ceive than to give. He believes
that the acceptance of a thing
carries with it no obligation to
reciprOcate. He thinks it is en-
tirely right that the town should
support him, but entirely wrong
that he should be expected to
help support the town.
When he asks you to stop a
moment TO admire his new house
you might also stop a moment
longer TO admire his gall.
There is one consolation: He
will probably get stung."
