Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 26.-"Cant
understand it." drawled the Northern
Alabama cotton gin operator, when
I asked him why cotton growers were
ginning faster than usual this season.
Been comm here like this for
more'p a week." he continued, point
ing to six mule teams going down the
clay road toward the gin. The high
board wagons ratified as they bounced
over the road and spilled freshly
picked cotton along the way.
Cant understand it," remarked q
Beaver street cotton broker, two weeks
later, as he read, Bureau Of Census
reports 3,131, 900 bales of cotton ginned
from 1884 growth up to September is.
which compares with 100000 bales
in the like period of 1888"
What do these large ginnings
mean?" asked the cotton trade along
Beaver and Worth streets today.
The cotton crop has been under
estimated" said an astute trader
Many agreed with him estimates OF
the crop as Of October l would be re-
vised upward Few. however, &C
cepted his prediction of gain of pos
sibly 100000 bales over Septem-
Der l."
The ginnings amount to 34.6 per
cent of the 9,048, OO0-ba crop fore
cast by the Government as Of Septem-
Der /, and therefore exceed all pre-
vious records. This gain has taken
place despite the fact that the Gov
eminent. through its loan policy, has
guaranteed the grower IL cents q
pound for his crop and despite all the
red tape incident to the operations oi
the Bankhead act, which generally ha,
been credited with retarding ginnings
The ginnings assume additional i'm
portance because, starting October
the Government crop estimates utilize
cotton ginned as one of the factors ir
crop forecasting
Previous to October l the ginnings
as rule. are not sufficiently large to
be Of value as a crop measurement.

Another Little Job
Your Bank Account

After you forwarded to the Commissioners
gesons for raising the twenty million dollars for the Mu
nicp Center you will be in excellent shape for figuring out
what you will with your bank account after the first Of
the year.
You know of course, that January l. the uniform"
system charges for small accounts will be put into effect
Under that system you will pay dollar for the privilege
of having less than 500 in the bank Also draw
certain number of checks against account you
will be charged five cents per check.
At this rate your deposi you of those who
trying gather together few shekes to replace those
you lost the lamented bank crash of few years ago-w
soon be eaten up by the charges
But any city which boasts Of citizens who tell the
city how to raise twenty millions of dollars should
able solve this minor financial problem without great
mental stress
The banks of course feel that they have to make these
charges pay for the trouble of handling your money
Apparently they don't believe that saving pennies will
make dollars and that they encourage the thrifty person
who has less than hundred dollars he might grow
into of their healthier depostors.
Certainly the charge schedule recently announced is
great nducement to to try to put few dollars into
checking account in the hope that it will grow.

Postmaster General James A.
Farley has backed Copeland
lately, the New York Senator
had OccaSioned the Presidents
dissatisfaction on more than
one occasion.
In the first place Copeland
was a Tammany candidate. He
received support from the Wig
wan, which didn't increase his
prestige in Roosevelt's eyes.
But that was minor detail
compared to the fact that
Copeland had the courage to
oppose certain legislation last
session despite the knowledge
that it had the Presidents en-
dorsement.
He has continuously opposed
the st. Lawrence Seaway
treaty. He voted to override
the Presidents veto of the In
dependent offices bill, al
though he voted against the
measure when it first passed.
The legislation to continue
the CWA received a negative
vote from him, as did the cotton
control bill and the silver bill,
as we'll as the veterans compen'
sation bill.
He voted with the Administra-
ton, however, on the emer-
gency banking act, the economy
act, for beer, the AAA, NRA,
the gold bill, and legislation to
reduce the tariff.
In many of his negative votes
he went along with Senator
Robert F. Wagner of New York,
one of the Administrator favor
ties.
Indications are that the
senior Senator from New York
will be returned to the Senate
by a fair majority.
While the White House execu-
tive offices are temporarily in
the mansion part of the estab-
lishment, pending the opening
of the new office building, Jo-
