WMhington, Dec. 29.—Ten billion doUsxt)’ worth of products and |5,000,- 000,000 of cash income—a. bumper yeia in spite of droughts and other •etbackE—'ia the 1913 record of 6,000;- 000 Americaa farms. The most successful year of hus bandry in the United States brought forth $6,100,000,000 worth of crops, of which $2,896,000,000 was represented by cereals alone, and $3,660,000,000 worth of aninials sold and slaughter ed and animal products. The value of the 1913 crops is ' twice as great as that of 1899, more than $1,000,000,000 of 1909, and sub stantially greater than 1912. Of all the ctops, however, it is estimated that 52 per cent remain on farms where they Were produced, and that 20 per cent, of the animal production will remain. On that basis the cash income is estimated by ths depart- Jttent of agriculture at $5,847,000,000. But despite a record year of crop value—although the record of pro duction has fallen—and the fact that the number of farms has increased 11 per sent, since 1910, until there are estimated to be 6,600,000 farms in this country, the department in a discus sion of the subject made public today does not take the view that a lower cost of living will follow as a conse quence. “However (Jesirable increased pro duction on farms may .appear to be from the consumer’s star.dpcintj” says the report, “it does not follow that such increased prodiictien v.'ould result in, any increase in the cash in come per fai'm or per capita of farm popuiation, or that prices paiJ tjy con sumers would be any lower. “Had the total production in 1913 equaled or exceeded the ViVi prsiJjc- tion, it seems probable that the cash income per farm would not have been greater, and might have Iseen leis than in 1912; but it is extremely doubtful whether the cost to the eon- mimer would have been any less, be cause retail prices are promptly rais ed on a prospect of under produrtion, hut are very ilow to decline if over production. “The long line of distributors and middlemen between the farn-.tr and John Uad Haa Been Reported. Pass Chiistian, Miss., Dee. 31.— This town will be th» sceae of • po litics! ccafersnce bearing upon the future relations between Mexico and the United States tomorrow. For the iirst time since that memorable Au gust day when John Lind was dis patched to Mexico by Rresident Wil son, the two men wilt confer and ex change impressions of the situation i'A the southern republic as it exists at present. That the conference has been arranged as a result of an imr portant shift in the Huerta admin istration is believed. Tlie details of the conference are being carefully giiarded. President Wilson has not disclosed exactly when or where it will be held. The present plans^ however, indicate that the President will be aboard the rev enue cutter Winona at Gnlf Port as soon as he is notified that the cruis er Chester is off the harbor. He wil! probably meet Mr. Lind aboard the cruiser. The President is anxious for as much privacy as possible. His aver sion to photographers and moving pic ture men \riU be sharply emphasiz sd on this trip. Mr. Wilson also does not relish the prosp^t of Mr. Lind being besieged by newspaper men up on his arrival here and it seems prob able that most of the conference will be held at sea, Mr. Lind’s plans following the con-? ferehce are not known. He may go -iireetly back to Vera Cruz or may make a trip to ,?t. Paul, Minn., to see his wife, who returned from Mexico son-e time ago. There is a chance that the Presi dent considers the Lind mission in Mexico ended and that he is contem plating a change of policy .{pward the Huerta regime which will make the presence of a personal envoy in Mex ico not only unnecessary but impos sible. WiUiani J. Fiyan, chief of the se cret service; is expected to reach Pass Christian tomorrow. Pass Christian, Miss., Dec. 31.—The cruiser Chester, with John Lind on board has been reported off Bay St. Louis, about twenty-five miles from here. It is not probable that Mr, Lind the consumer are in a i.esiiion to take | " ® landing before raornirig. advantage of the market and to a certain ejctent control the markei in both directions, because they are bet ter organized to keep informed of crop and rnarket t:onditions and to act promptly than their farmers or consumers, who are not organited. as individuals are helpless. “The hiph prices paid by consum ers, rnn/jin^ from 5 to nearly 500 p e:r.t. in some ca.5es more tfcar the farmer receives, indiv;ate that tiierj is ple:;tj' of room foe lowevinfc tii« cost r.f f:'.rm products to contiumcrs and I'.t the same time lar.cc-ly iiioi'fjaa- flic inconio farm with out incroa.sins f;;nn proiluctlon. “Tliic condition uJKlou^^tedly is a marketing- probleni. v.'hich will have to bo .-yjlved by better o’/'irai'.iznti.'.n of famv;r?i ar.d imjii-oved methods of Wh;u a? the result of ■such orirur.ization a;;d inifirDved meth ods the price cf farm products can be mai .iaincd at a hi;*her !e\'oi with out iii,-!ri_-afing the cost to consumers, farmers will be justified in increas ing the output of their farms with a fair proipect of realizing reasonable profit on their investment of time, la bor, and money, which in the aggre gate is enormous.” Start the New Year Right.

Carr says that hs is not a candidate for Governor and he makes it plain that he has not authorized any one to say that he would accept the nomi- :iation if tendered him. His statement is: “I am not a candidate for Govern or. I have not said, nor have I aa- Ihoi iz^d any one to say for me, that I woiild rtcropt the nomination. I am grateful to my friends for the ioiiori H'liich have reached p>e sufr- “csiir.'j: my noininatiov, and contu'n- inr: ' •ier.'? of s-jpporl. i senuinely :ip- yrc’ciatc all t'ii.;?e. rj>'t my profcrencc ;s to remain iii private st-ition. “JUIJAM S.

Numerout lett-jr.s and telegrams wore received liy him assuring him of support, >5s- pe'.-ially notable and hearty was the favorable notice of his supposed can didacy by the State press, some of the be.st known publicatior.s urging him to get definitely in the race, the feeling being that the nomination and election of General Carr to the position of Governor would oe not on ly a compliment to him, but to all of the Confederate veterans of the State the opportunity to bestow honor.^ on v.'hom is fast slipping away. The first mention of General Carr in connection with the next nomina tion by the Democrats for Governor mads about a month ago. Tlie idea struck a popular chord and soon bec.-ime a topic of general newspaper discussion and comment all through the State, the impression being gen eral that the Hurham man h.id nevpr received from the people of the State adequate evidences of appreciation of the great public service which by hi-s ger.erosity he has rendered, and had Dr. Wiaaton ’Telia «f Ottdal Miaeoa* duet of l«dg« J. G. Aimm». Ashevill«! Dec. 31.—^The investiga- tion by the board of ftldenaen sitting as a court of impeachment into the official conduct of Junius G. Adams, judge of the eity police court, came to an end this afternoon with Judge Adams as the last witness and nith argument by counsel for the defense and the “impeachment court.” The board of aldermen, it is said, will formally announce its verdict tomor row morning at 10 o’clock. The feature of this afternoon’s ses sion was the appearance on the wit ness stand of ur. George T. Winston, a former president of the University of North Carolina, and the A. and M. College and for several years past a resident of Asheville. Dr, Winston was subpoenaed by the mayor, he stated. Asked if he had any knowr ledge of any misconduct on the part of the police judge, Dr. Winston promptly replied “yes.” Asked what it was. Dr. Winstoti said t’ne failure of Judge Adams to proceed against “the most notorious blind tiger in Asheville." He referred, he" said, to the Battery Park hotel “bar.” Dr. Winston was asked what inter est he had in the ’.nvestigation and he replied that his interest was three fold: that of a student of mankind; that of a democrat and a citizen, and lastly interest as a friend and former supporter of the police justice. Dr. Winston stated his interest in the case at some length, tracing that “inter est” from the law ofSceo of Judge Ad ams last spring when he went there to offer his support and encourage ment to Judge Adams, then a candi date for re-election, on through the subsequent persistent rumors of vio lations of the prohibition laws by “higher ups” to and through the Car ter investigation; the Thrash lelLer of attack on Judge -4.dams; Judge Ad ams’ silence in the premises and then i:is admission oj collecting and at tempting to collect through his law firm money for the Battery Park “bar” for liquor, and the shock to the witness over the disclosures made, on and to the Gazette-News ofBce, where he commended the stand of the paper in “turning on” the light, and where he offered suggestions to a member of the editorial .staff. Dr. V/inston’s recital of his general interest in the investigation as a private citizen of Asheville who believed in law enforce ment. was listened to with deep inter est by those attending the hearing, while frequently his witty replies to counsel for Judge Adams brought forth peals of laughter. Dr. Winston declared that his visit to the Gazet'o- Nev.t; office was actuated by the sa. . .e motive as his visit to the ahv’oifice of ■hidge -Adams last spring; that of piv- ?='i and to e:^!j!niepd .-i. just •’BU.-’c. Jud;re -\darr..?, the Iasi witness b,-- fore the ■‘impoHchnient court,” prac- li/aliy ri'itin':iti.-d what h|'.s been term- -\i hi.s “ci'iiio.sflion” when ho re')uesl- tlic board ctf aldermen ff>r ai> ii- In short, an adinis^sioi^ :)f the authenticity of the •‘Adyin.s let ters'’ frcni the law firm df v.-hich Jud^ro Adams is a mouilier, collecting .md ;3ttcmptir,g to collect liquor bills fur liipior houses from the Battery Park “bar” and J. L. Alexander, the hotel proprietor; that ho was elected jjolice court judge to pass upon all i.'ases coming before him. and that it was not his duty to act as prosecutor and run down blind tigers. There is con.siflerable speculation to night on the action the board will take tomorrow with opinion divided. The overwhelming opinion seems to he, however, that jhe Gazette News performed a public duty when it turn ed on the light and that if the judicial recall was operative in Asheville at the present time the police justice be relieved from office.
