SIX AND A HALF
MILLION BALES
Cotton Crop Condition Only 42.3 Per
Cent Sept. 25 Far Lowest on Rec
ord. Washington, Oct. 3. Cotton pro
duction this year was forcast today at
6,537.000 equivalent 500 pounds bales,
by the department of agriculture, bas
ing its estimate on the condition cf
the condition of the crop September
25 which was 42.2 per cent of a nor
mal, indicating a yield of 118.0 pounds
per acre.
The growing season this year has
been the most disastrous on record,
the crop showing the loss of 1,666000
bales in prospective production dur
ing the months of August and Sep
tember. The end if August , found
the crop in the worst condition ever
recorded while the end of September
as disclosed in today's report shows
unfavorable weather during the
month rendered the condition worse
than at the end of August. Record
extremes of heat and dryness have
forced unprecedented maturity of
the crop and deficiency of fertilirer
has shortened the fiber and lessened'
the yield. ,
Today's condition report shows the
crop to be 12.2 points below the
worst previous record. Over most
of the belt there will be but little
middle crop and practically no top
cotton.
The swarming plague of boll wee
vils was advanced almost to ihe lim
its of the belt, being through the
lower third of North Carolina into
11 counties of Tennessee and over
most of Arkansas and Oklahoma.
Practically everywhere the weevil is
in such numbers and doing such
damage as has not been experienced
since the period of its initial inva
sion. The army and other worms have
been present in damaging numbers
in most of the territory from the
Mississippi westward, stripping the
leaves from the plants over large
areas.
Comment is general that the crop
may be picked out by early Novem
ber in much of the central and east'
em territory if the favorable picking
weather continues ,
The fair and dry September has
permitted uninterrupted picking and
with labor plentiful and relatively
cheap a larger proportion of the
crop has probably been picked out
than ever before.
POTATO STORAGE
HOUSES
Some time age a bunch of forward
looking citizens of Crouse section
formed a company and built a potato
house, where sweet potatoes will be
cured and sold off gradually, and to
advantage at better prices than if put
on the market all at one time. This is
cooperative marketing, and it seems
to be growing. We notice that the
25 hundred bushel sweet potato stor
age houses which is being built at
Boiling Springs is nearing completion
and will be ready in a few days for
storing this years crop of potatoes in.
Twenty men in this community joined
together to build this house and will
hire a competent man to look after
curing potatoes and keeping of the
house.
The house is up-to-date in every
way and is being built according to
the government plans and instruc
tions. NEW ORLEANS COTTON
SEES AN EXCITING DAY
New Orleans, Oct. 3. Gains of a
quarter of a cent-a pound on contracts
for Jelivery this year were retained by
cotton in New Orleans market at
the close today, after one of the most
exciting days in the history of the lo
cal exchange.
The outside public looked upon the
government crop condition report, and
the report of ginnings as bullish, and
a certain foreshadowing of a cotton
famine before the year is out.
The public buying supported the.
market and gave it a good rally after
it had dipped approximately two cents
a pound immediately after the reading
of the crop report, which did not show
a heavy deterioration as had been expected.
Spot cotton prices here were quoted
unchanged with middling at . 20:50
cents. December contracts at the
clpse brought 20 1-2 cents, after hav
ing risen to 21 7:8 cents, and havin?
dipped to 19:95 cents.
POWER RATE CASES GO
TO CLEVELAND COURT
Appeals From Finding of Corporation
Commission By The Mills and
Southern Power Co.
Raleigh, Oct. 3. Cleveland county
will try out the Southern Power and
cotton mill companies' appeals from
the corporation commission's findings
in July if the commission's choice of
battleground is accepted by the litig
ants. The 1,527 pages of typewritten rec
ord, including the entire testimony
taken at the April hearing and later
swollen by additional briefs, was cer
tified down pdy by the commission.
Both Bides appealed. The Southern
hydro electric rates and the textile in
terests, holding contracts of the com
pany, resisted. The general assembly
donated in the house, by a margin of
one vote, the act to enforce the carry
ing out of contracts, and when the
'corporation commission finally hand
ed down the opinion the increase in
power rate was sufficiently high
above the contract figures to make the
mill interests appeal. There are 30
or more corporations interested; The
commission has only recommendatory
powers, as this is an appeal from its
findings. The cotton mills challeng
ed the jurisdiction of the corporation
commission, the mills contending that
the Southern Power was doing inter
state business. Judge Thad Bryson
is riding the Cleveland circuit this
fall.

SIX WOMEN IH JURY
BOX IN HIGHTOWER CASE
Redwood City, Cal., Oct.3. Eleven
prospective jurors tentatively accept
ed by state defense, were in the box
when court adjourned tonight at the
end of the first day of the trial of
William A. Hightower on charges of
murdering Father Patrick E. Heslin,
Catholic priest Of Colma. The state
had exercised four of its 10 peremp
tory challenges and the defense three
of its 20. '
Six of those in the jury box were
women, and at almost all times today
women were in the majority in the
tentative jury.
The defense inquired rigorously
into the social and religious beliefs
of veniremen, asking each whether
the fact that the slain man was a
priest would effect his decision. It
is expected the jury will be com
pleted tomorrow.
ALARM CLOCK GOES OFF
SCARES A BURGLAR AWAY
Fayettevilie, Oct 2. A warning to
Fayetteville householders not to leave
their homes unguarded against bur
glars has been issued by Chief of Po
lice J. A. McLeod following a series of
petty burglaries in this city. Chief Mc
Leod declares that there is no cause
for alarm but cautions citizens about
leaving their doors unlocked while
members of the household are away
from home, entrance having been ef
fected in this manner in several instances.
The most serious incident in connec
tion with the robberies occurred early
yesterday morning when Miss Helen
Tillinghast awoke to find a man walk
ing around her room. She was too
frightened to scream until an alarm
clock went off and the burglar leaped
through a window. Miss Tillinghast's
brother, Norwood Tillinghast, who
pad set the clock to wake him at 4
o'clock for a fox hunt, fired at the
man, but apparently failed to hit him.

of Hominy. This is believed to be
one of the few, if not the" first, feat
of its kind ever performed in surgery.
The hand was cut off by an edger
saw at a lumber company near Hom
iny, and the injured man was brought
immediately to the Mission hospital,
where the operation was performed
by Dr. Gardner. The arteries, veins
bones and nerves had been complete
ly severed from the arm, a strip of
skin three quarters of an inch in
width being the only connection be
tween the two.
Two operations were necessary, ac
cording to the hospital records, the
first requiring about 25 minutes and
the second 20 minutes. The two bones,
ulna and radius, were wired together
veins sewed together, four arterie
joined and tendons joined.
The rpg finger is missqjg, the in
jury being so great that it was neces
sary to amputate. An examination of
the hand gives the impression that it
is slightly deformed. No deadness
about the hand is felt .however.
Mr. Brigmon remained at the hos
pital aboift six weeks, and was able
to return to work eight months later,
although not in the same capacity.

home late Sunday afternoon, wrecking
the car- and causing injuries which
physicians say may prove fatal in one
or both cases. First aid was adminis
tered to the couple at the scene of the
accident, but their condition was so
bad that thy had to be removed to the
hospital. They were going the same
direction as the train when Mr. Tol
bert's automobile was struck.
"The selling or dumping of cotton
by individual growers, under present
conditions, is one of the greatest con
ceivable "bear' forces on the cotton
market.. It is one of strongest possi
ble forces for breaking pricei every
fall on every pound of cotton we sell,"
So writes Clarence Poe, a member
of the organization Committee of the
N. C. Cotton Growers Co.Operative
Association. In further developing
his idea he says:
"Suppose a farmer has good mid
dling cotton that is really worth at the
time it is offered 21 cent a pound.
Suppose a buyer says to him. 'I will
give you 17 cents for your cotton.'
Suppose the farmer finally gets 19
cents. Then when another farmer
comes along with good middling. Mr.
Buyer says, 'Well I have just bought
a bale as good as yours for 1J( cents'
or 'We are paying 19 cents for this
gradi' oday.' The result is tat the
second i'armer is likely to take 19
cents also And so on with other
farmers who come to the market. And
the same depress: in in prices is forc
ed by all other bi -'ers of the less
scrupulous sort. (Of oo ,::-e, there are
many buyers who wai.t .Vv a fair
profit, but the farmer cant) it ft..1
inate.)
"Now, what happens furt!ev " he
The average price paid for cotto on
that market that day is reported.
Then the average for all grades is
seen to be considerably lower than
standard market prices. Consequently,
word goes out that 'Farmers )re let

price. The average price for ;cotton
basis' middling' in each market is re
ported and the cumulative result is
highly important. Bor New York,
New Orlains, and Liverpool betting is
r.imply betting on the price at which
the farmer will turn loose his Cotton,
and when he is known to turn it
loose'at less than the standard figure,
all prices drop accordingly.
"In other words, the cotton Market
ing business today is dominate! by
buyers, and it is to the average buy
er's interest to get cotton as cheaply

fore, a very great proportion of our
cotton buyers become 'bear' influences,
beating down prices in the ways just
suggested.
"On the other hand, the strong, cap

for cooperative marketing associa
tions, would become one of the most
powerful 'Bull' influences and influ

of these cooperative marketing re

not as low as possible but as high as
possible for they will be hired by the

REPUBLICANS APPREHENSIVE
OVER LEGISLATIVE PROGRAM
(By David F. St. Clair.)
Washington October 4. The Re
publicans in the senate have begun a
drive to rush through what Senator
Simmons characterizes as the "most
iniquitious and unjust" revenue bill
ever introduced into that body. At
the same time they are hurrying to
a vote the shameful separate treaty
with Germany. If the wheels do not
turn fast enough to put these two
measures and the anti-beer bill over
by November 10 they threaten to put
the screw on discussion by adopting
a cloture rule by a majority vote.
The plan of the Harding adminis
tration is to recess to the above date
so as to have the field clear for the
so called arms limitation conference
on the following day. The White
KHouse is much Nafraid that if the
congress is in session during the lat
ter weeks of November it will tackle
the question of the refunding of the
foreign debt and embarrass our for
eign guests. More important than the
meeting of the arms limitation con
ference is the desire to rush the in
defensible rev-rue through before
he Amer- n people have had an op
r;.tniity t learn of its monstrous
';-.i.'"in'iGtior,a in' favor of the cor
porations ami the multi-millionaires
and its sweeping injustice to the mid
dle masses and the poor. Congress
was called into extra session of April
11 to pass a new revenue bill and a
new tariff bill and the plan of the Re
publicans has been from the outset to
kill time until a short time before
f:hey were ready to adjourn then
press through under majority cloture
rule or the threat of invoking such
rule in the senate legislation out
rageously favoring the corporate in-
tersts the profiteers and the rich. But
the tariff bill badly miscarried for the
Republicans could not grasp its ef
fects and they thus became hopelessly
divided. That bill is in suspended ani
mation and it likely to remain so for
sometime. But something must be
got out of the revenue bill or Republi
cans and hopes will go agimmering.
Simmon tands in the Breach...
It so happens that the two best pos
ted and most skillful exponents on the
Democratic side in congress on re
venue legislation are from North Car
olina. But unfortunately for his par
ty and his country Claude Kitchin
could not be on the floor of the house
when the revenue bill was under con
sideration there. Had he been there
and in his prime, Democrats are con
confident that public opinion would
never have tolerated the framing and
introduction of the revenue bill the
senate finance committee has dared
to offer the American people. Sena
tor Simmons in speaking the other
day of Kitchin's absence from the
house duriqg this session on account
ef illness, said it had. been "irrepar
able."
Kitchin's breakdown at this junc
ture has greatly increased burden of
Simmons in this senate. The two men
had collaborated and were mory
responsible than any other two
men in congress for the best fea
tures of the revenue law in existence.
More than any other two men are

BREAD CROP TO

Promise of Harvest Improved by Heat
Fruita Suffer
Washington, Oct. 3. Phenomenal
heat accumulation which has marked
weather conditions all over the north
ern hemisphere this year has produc

outputs of agricultural crops, accord
ing to summaries of American and
foreign production compiled for and
by the agricultural department.
The world's bread crops, curiously
.enough, came to abundant fruition in
spite of drought and heat which per
sisted all during the growing season.
The world in 1921, up to September
30, it was indicated, would have a to
tal wheat crop 157,000,000 bushels
greater than in 1920.
By another freak, fruit crops, al
most in a worldwide sense, met havoc
from cold in a season which has set
new records everywhere for solar
heat. This paradox was occasioned
by the fact that last February the sun
got at its work of bringing spring
weeks in advance of normal, and trees
and shrubs responded by budding out,
and finally coming into flower and
bloom by March in nearly all areas
where fruit is grown. Frosts could not
be averted on all the nights, however,
and this year the United States will
produce about 109,000,000 bushels of
apples, against 244,000,000 bushels ir

RETAIL FOOD PRICES
SHOW LITTLE DECLINE
Washington, Octa. 3. Retail food
prices in ten cities showed a tendency
to decrease during September, accord

amounted to only 2 per cent,
Retail food prices are still much

of Republicans at this time shows how.
uncertain and precarious is the Repub

The cloture rule if adopted in the
senate would be a double edged
sword. With in force the minority
party with the aid of certain group

Senator Smoot of Utah, the rank

Washington, Oct. 3. Congressman
Doughton expressed himself this af
ternoon as being highly in favor of
the proposition of the unemployment
conference that the appropriation in
the Federal aid to good roads be made
$150,000,000 in place of $75,000,000 in
the Senate amendment to the $100,
000,000 in the House bill. Mr. Dough -ton
says that they cannot made the
figure too high to please him. The
view of the conference is that the lar
ger appropriation will aid in putting
to work many of the jobless who want
jobs to go to work.
