Some lime during last Friday liight thieves entered the elothiug store of Parker Bros.- here and made away with about S2,000 worth of goods. The estimate of damage was made by Mr. B. A. Parker after be had looked over the "stock and made discovery of the extent of the theft. Entrance to the store was effected by bending aside bars in the iron work protecting the rear window. Once inside, it was an easy matter for the crooks to unfasten the rear door, which they left standing open after making a choice .selection of merchandise. Articles stolen consisted of a doz en or fitteen men's tailored suit') which hung in a compartment of the suit cabinet—these were awaiting call by customers for whom they were individually ordered: also suit.' and silk shirts taken from the show aMji:.1ows:' a lot of extra high grade overcoats which had recently arrived neckv/ear, jewelry and various other articles. The cash drawer was rifled .and |12 or -$15 taken therefron.. The desk in the offlee was ransacked, letters, checks and other papers be ing scattered In the loot-scarry. Mr. Chas. Parker had lain hta-Ger man Luoger pistol In a drawer of 'he desk, and this, together with a small er gun, v'as taken by the thievea Mr. Parker p'*red his Hun war tro phy very highly and expressed his great regret at not being able 'o turn its '‘strafing” effects upon the rob- ibers. At the rear entrance to the store next morning, wheel tracks seeming ly of a truck were visible, but there was such an element-of mystery sur rounding the whole affair that noth ing of a definite clue could be de duced, other than that the perpetra tors of the crime evidently were per sons familiar with the arrangement of the store and its stock. The thieves seemed to know what they wanted, and got it without disar ranging other goods. The jufllipery and ladies' wear department was not harmed: neither did the lobters make bold to enter the undertakocs* parlor: presumably they preferred the "glad toggery" to funeral acces sories. Giving a wide berth to ladies ready-t.o-wear presupposes the fact that they were unmarried. This Sherlocklan theory, however, is mere surmise—nothing more. Sheriff Will McArtan early Satar- day morning busied himself in an attempt tc get on the rabhcTa’ track. Phones '.nd telegrams carried. the Ici'kout warning to other points. As yet no trace has been fornd whi2h the Sheriff Is willing to publish. The Sheriff has offered a reward of flOO for evidence leading to conviction of the guilty parties. **If it ConeMBfi HariMrtt.

Oct. 36.—-A larger poroentage off the country's cotton crop had been ginned to October 18 this year then had beroi ginned in any previous year to that date in the history ot cotton growing, the Cen sus Bureau^ ginning' report, issued today, indlested. A total off 6,477,297' bales exolu- slve ot tin tors had been turned oul hy^ftonerles, which total Is 88.7 per cent ot the entire crop as estimated by the Department of AgrtcuKure in Its tor$cast ot October 3 this year. Tfie.previous heaviest ginning to Oc tober 18 was in 1916 when 64.8 per cent of the crop bad been ginned. In Ispuing Its ginning report, the Oensus Bureau ineiuded a paragraph giving the Department of Agricul ture's latest forecast of the crop— which was '6',687,(U10 bales. Deduc tion of the number of bales ginned jto October 18 from the estimated jcrop -leaves 1,069,603 bales remain- ^tng to be ginned. Concerning the cotton situation, Secretary Wallace of the Department ot Agriculture said today: The cotton ginned to October -18 as shown by the census report, name ly 6.477,807 bales, running weight, is 88,8 per cent ot the October 8 fore cast of total production by the de partment of agriculture, which was [6,687,000 bales ot 600 pounds. "So far as our records go, the highest percentage of cotton ginned to Ootboer 18 was 64,8 per cent In the year 1916, when the crop was a bmall 'one. The smallest percentage /ginned up to October 18 was 87.7 to 1908. "Oiir people In the department who are qnallfled to Judge of such -matters say that there can be no rea sonable doubt that this year’s cotton crop Is more largely ginned to date than ever before. In the first place the crop Is a very small one and' under such conditions the percent age finned to date would naturally be lari#.
