COTTCK CONSUMPTION. Slice Ktws. ooxtsiicxx5ooooea3oxx)oooooee Ells of the World Cossamt 11,000,000 Ba'.es Annually 2,500,000 rroa Crop or 1904 to be Car ried Over. Atlanta, Ga., April 8. Presi dent Harvie Jordan, of the . Southern Cotton Association, las prepared since his return 2rom Texas .and other Western States, an article regarding the 'sensumption of American cotton 12 the markets of the world, showing exactly the amount nec essary to supply the demand, Mr. Jordan points out that the southern people are still hold its on to their cottou every where, and that this holding aoupled with the vigorous cam yaign made by the association, las helped keep the price up Ue shows clearly that another xacb crop as the one of last year would result disastrously to the .South Mr. Jordan says: "The American co.tou crop of as recently estimated by he United States Census Bureau amounts to practically 13,600,000 Sales. Of this amount 200,000 ire yet to be ginned and about 250,000 bales are what i known is linters, or the lint ginned from the seed at the cotton oil ills. This amount of cotton is fer in excess of ay crop pre Tiously grown in the South. The 3ast bumper crp was made in 3898 and amounted to 11,270,000 eales. The crop of 1904. there fore, exceeds the crop of 1898 by Jally 2,250,000 bales. "The consumption of Ameri- ean cotton by the mills of the world at the present time will imount to 11,000,000 bales per annum. II the present rate oi consumption is maintained, we shall still have early 2,500,000 tales from tne crop of 1904 to carry over into the fall of 1905 ana to be added to the crop waisb will be harvested during Jhe present year. "The enormous crop of 13, 100,000 bales recently reported trom the Census Department is, ao doubt, practically correct, a Jhe bureau clains to have had reports from all the ginners -operating in the South and esti mate of the crop was based upon V A- Tl 1 muse repuris. 11 we uave a sur plus of 2.250,000 bales and the wnsumption of American cotton 3i not more than 11,500,000 bales per annum, it is quite evident . ih at a crop greater than 9,000, JKX) bales the present year would wiupijr pub line preuuuera in a position of heaping surplus and ihereby depreciating the price d cotton next fall to a figure sonsiderably below the cost of production. Even the produc ion of a normal crop in 1905, added to the surplus, would rive ss another abnormally large nop. Some Old People. XiJ i Mountain Cor. Charlotte New.

Dispensary Slowed Under at Ashevllle. ftalvlgh Post. Asheville, Apnl 6. The much talked of election on the Question of dispensary or no dispensary X 1 1 . . . came to at .. end nere mis alter noen in an overwhelming victory for the anti -dispensary forces. A total of 1,337 votes were cast, divided as follows: Anti dispensary, 933; for dispensary, 403; for prohition, 1. In view of the strong fight and stronger claims made by the dispensary advocates, this is a sweeping vic tory, and the anti-dispensaryites are jubilant. The weather con ditions were unfavorable, a sharp wind and a ligbt snow fall pre vailing, or the vote would have been larger andcorresDondinelv heavier against the dispensary, 8 tate o (Ohio, City oi Toledo, ) Lucaa uounty. as.
