The prizes are offered in cash. There is no "missing word" in this, no probability for some one to know absolutely the correct answer, but this is brain versus brain, skill versus skill, pencil versus pencil, figures versus figures. Every man is interested in the cotton crop, the amount of the crop varies the price and the price of cotlou in our territory is the barometer of the people's prosperity. ^ . mmt ?On Such n Vital Problem You Ought to Hake Figures.
