This ear's acreage is 28.4 per cent smallr than last year's. The acreage this/year is the smallst since 1900 and never before, acording to the Department of Agriulture, has there been so great a hange *from one year to another in creage as there has 'been from last ear to this year. The condition of the growing crop as not in 20 years been so low on une 25 as it was this year. All secions of the cotton "belt have been ffected. It is due, according to overnment experts to an adversely ite, wet spring, and to the presence f boll weevil in large numbers. Hwirn* fcrt the linfnvnrahlp rnridi ?w ??? ?' ions of April and May and to other iscouraging factors, shortage of Brtilizer, and unsatisfactory price, bandonment of planted cotton acre?e has been greater than usual east f the Mississippi river, ranging rom five per cent in North Carolina ad Mississippi to as high as 10 per snt in Georgia. West of the [ississippi abandonment has been ght. The abandonment was taken ito consideration, the crop reportig board announced, in its prelimi y estimate of acreage. iue amuuat ui cuuiiueicLai icrwu:r used per acre on cotton this year | wording to the reports reaching the ' ireau of crop estimates, is about 3 per cent of the average amount ?ed annually in the four years, )17-20; Virginia reporting 86, orth Carolina 80, South Carolina >, Georgia 73, Florida 75, Alaima 72, Mississippi 50, Louisiana I, Texas 47, Arkansas 61, Tennese 63.

The second president of Columbia Theological seminary will be the Rev. John M. Wells, D. D., at present pastor of the First Presbyterian church at Wilmington, N. C. He succeeds the Rev. Thornton Whaling-, D. D., the only president the institution i has ever had who resigned recently to ibeome professor of theology in Louisville seminary. i The board oftrustee s of the semi: nary met in Atlanta yesterday and i there received word that Dr. Well? who was offered the place at a meet ing held in Columbia during com| mencement, would accept. The news j came to Columba last night in a telegram to the Rev. Hugh Murchi| son, D. D., executive secretary of j the "seminary. At the same time it was learned that a professor of theoI logy to succeed Dr. Whaling, who | held this chair in adRdition to his adj ministrative duties were selected, I . . V ' , 1 .. out nis name was witnneia pending advices as to whether he would accept. tilizer license tags compared with last year, show to May 31 for North j Carolina about 65 per cent and to i the close of June in South Carolina 40 per cent. Alabama 46 per cent. Mississippi 40 and Texas' 33. Special returns to the agricultural department indicate only amount 55 per cent as much as last year in North Carolina, 50 per cent in South Caro[ lina, 42 per cent in Mississippi and Tennessee, and 15 per cent in Louisiana and Arkansas and compared with the usual only 49 per cent in Georgia and 32 per cent in Florida. " Thus, said the bureau's statement, all indications point to a reduction in absolute 'quantity 'of fertilizer purchased much greater than the unprecedented reduction in acreage of cotton, and this is confirmed by the figures quoted showing lessened use per acre. This lack is refleected in the relatively low condition of cotton, which is almost ten points below the average condition at this date. The quality is generally reported as lower than in previous \ voono * j cai o. I on-V ly Specials in $1.00 \ .. 1 $1.00 Ig $1.00 $1.00 $1.00 le $1.00./ $1.00 J $1.00 Urtr.?

The militant suffra! jrettcs, which have acquired headquar 1 ters, called the "Watch Tower," 1 ! overlooking the capitol, insist that 1 ! the bill be enacted. The anti-suffra- ] gettes are conducting a bitter fight 1 against the bill which they say would promote "birth control and 1 free love." , ' 1 ' That statement, Senator Kenyon 1 of Iowa, in charge of the bill, chal- * ' lenges. He thinks that inasmuch as ' ; the congress has voted $25,000,000, to Columbia "bandits'* it might " vote $1,000,000 per annum for the :: women of the country. He says that i mand. At that he might be mistaken, j Senator Reed of Missouri has en-j tered his protest against establish-' ' ing a government bureau to super-j sede the women of the country in the " business of rearing babies.
