XCbe flUornfrig Star, WILLIAM H. BERNARD. WILMINGTON N. C. Sunday Morning, April 30. THE BUMPER COTTON CROP, Tne Star yes' terday published I the government census bureau re port showing that in 1904 r the South produced he enormous crop of $13,584,457 bales of cotton of the weight of 500 pounds per bale. Our cotton planters will be. par ticularly interested in the state ment that all this big cotton crop is worth less than the much smal ler crop of 1903. The census bu reau, basing itsj average price of cotton upori information obtained from Secretary jHester of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, for the grades and prices of upland cot ton, and from Henry W. Frost & Co., of Charleston, S. C, and But- ler, Stevens & Co., of Savannah, of sea island cot Ga., for prices ton, and upon returns from cotton seed oil companies for prices of cotton seed, fiies the total value of the cotton crop of 1904 at $647,- 4U0,0iJ4.I, f as compared with for 1903, and $660,549,230.82 $501,897,134.65 ior iyuz. it is noteworthy tha the aggregate yal ue of the cotton crop of 1904 is less by $13,143,696.31 than the val ue of the crop! of 1903, notwith standing the fact that the crop 6 1904 exceeded that of the previous year by 3,491,386 bales. This is accounted for y the lower prices ot cotton and jotton seed than in 1903. The prices for 1904 are igiven as follows: Upland, 8.66 cents; Florida sea island 19.50 cents ; Georgia sea island -19 cents ; south Carolina sea island 27.12 cents ; cotton seed $14.15 ton. For 1903 the prices were Upland, 12.6 island, 23.60 cents; Florida i sea cents ; Georgia sea island, 21 cents; South Carolina sea island, 28.40 cents; cotton seed, $17.82 per ton The total value is based upon 6,340,912,998 pounds . net of upland cotton, 40,137,264 pounds net of j sea island cotton, and 6,381,050 tons of cotton seed The net weight of cotton produced is arrived at by deducting from the gross weight 22 pounds per bale for square bales to cover the weight of bagging and ties, ' pounds for round bales and : 10 pounds for sea island bales. Just think of the big value of our great staple crop if our farm ers could have gotton 10 cents a pound for the tremendous produc tion of their toil last year, yet they got less than for the crop of 190& The census hiirpjin fi - p "0 V'4J : AX' tensely interesting and the prob ability is that they are pretty cor rect, so much so, in fact, that we quit mspuiing tne -government figures jand gone to work on a plan to reduce production so the industry will not be absolutely! de stroyed by low prices. Of course itis the biggest crop ever pr duced, having exceded ly 2,149, 45 the former record-breaking crop of 1898, which was 11,235,000 - bales. ' Tl, i i. xuc census uureau report is sufficient to I overwhelm Southern planters with the palpable import ance of cutting down production tnis year if they do not wish to take less than 7 1-2 cents for their cotton next Fall. We are already going into this cotton year with more than' l2,006,000 bales ( not needed by the spinners and if we produce only a 11,000,000 bale erop this year, the manufacturers will, have iij sight, with the ' sur plus and this year's cron lainm. 000,000 bale. In view of this fact, we hope the farmers of North PniTiUna mil nA . x .. uuu aviiciiu me ixieeiingS cauea by the Southern Cotton As sociation next Tuesday. . These meetings Hl be held at each coun-- ty site and it is necessary that they shoud . absolutely represent i the productive strength of each'couiu ty. JOHN PAUL JONES'DESCEND--. . j ANTS. , : . , The Rock Hill Herald S. C, learns that the Cad Jones family! of York county is related by descent to John Paul Jones, the first Amer ican admiral and the founder of the American navy, whose body, after being1 interred in Paris for more than j a hundred years has been disinterred and identified after a. five years search by Am bassador Porter. j The Cad Jones family of South Carolina went into that State from North Carolina. They may be de scendants of the North Carolina Jones family from whom ..John .Paul adopted the name of Jones, or there is nothing unreasonable about the claim that they are line al descended from John Paul or John Paul Jones as he became when he adopted the Jones sur name in honor of Gen. Allen Jones and Mr. Wilie Jones, of North- amptm county ,N . C. The Jonea famiiv im i i ... wug Deen a prominent one in York county, and would hardly make a claim which they cannot substantiate.
