New Orleans, La., Sept. 7.-Supple menting his report on the cotton crop for 1908-'09, as issued on August 31,, Secretary Hester of the !T&w Orleans cotton exchange. today made a detail ed report on the crops of the different, States as follows: Alabama 1,428,000, against 1,171, 000 last year. Arkansas, 1,052,000 against 787,000. Florida 75,000 against 60,000. Georgia, 2,118,000, against 1,964, 000. Louisiana 485,000, against 673,000. Mississippi, 1,673,000, against 1, 496,000. North Carolina 747,000, against eS9,000. South Carolina 1,298,000, againsti 2,226,000. Tennessee 426,000, against 335,000.' Texas 3,819,000, against 2,221,000. Oklahoma 704,000, against 950,000. Total crop 13,825,000, against 11, 572,000 last year. Eleven Milliom Spindles. He puts the spindles in the South at 11,255,787, ineluding old, idle and not complete, against 10,661,308 last year, an increase of 594,479. Referring to the consumption by American mills, Mr. Hester says that North and South they have had a sea son of unparalleled activity. In no past y.ear, he states have they consumed so mueh cotton, and phenomenal as the extent of the business has been, it has not reached the limit of their eapaci dies. The money value of the past commercial crop, he states, is in round figures $"83,794,000, showing that while the number of bales marketed was 2,243,000 hales more than last year, the increase in money received was but $11,509,000, equivalent to $5.11 per bale for the excess, and yet Mr. Hester contends that considering all eireumstances if ever a crop was sold at a good round price it was the one under review. Consumption Increases Greatly. In the South Mr. Hester makes the consumption 366,596 more than last year and 120,765 over the year before iast. Twenty-one new mTi.s are build ing in the Southern States, and in eluding additions to old establish ments, 10,000 new looms and 511,294 new spindles are uder way. The in crease in the number of mills over last year has been eight, making a total of 841 'The year's -consumption has been divided as follows: Sta:es.

In conclusion Mr IHy- *ays the facts concerning this remark.ve year 2n cotton consumption -peoak for ehemselves, but it is safe to-say that had they been estimates instead of olain unvarnished truths, even ex tremists would have been justified in elassing them as exaggerations. In the South, he says, "We have brushed 2,600.000 bales closely dur ing the past year and ,this close on-the heel of the panic, with 213 out of a total of 786 active mills from one to :.wo months late in getting under head wav'. Most of t he new no.: conmplete .mindles will be in wvorkinga order be lOre the coming year's close and withi these on the ,basis of the 1904-05, con sumption per spindle, the capacity of the Southern mills will be something like 2,800.000 to 2,90'0,000 bales.''

From our general observation in the state during the past year, it would seem .that South Carolina has been, as it were. a dumping ground for all kinds of inferior and worthless nurs ery stock. By this we do not mean to say that South Carolina -receives no first class nursery stock, for we year ly handle some of the best stock in the whole conn1try. The general ten deney on the part of some nurseries, without the state, towards shipping inferior stoek into t4he state has caused considerable complaint to reach this office. The principal trou ble with such stock seems to be the presence of serious insect pests and plast diseases. It is a very difficult matter for the casual observer ito de To the ] We have bought the entire s Thousand Dollars worth of goo< Co., (known as the Bee Hive) opposite The Savings Bank.

It is, therefore, of utmost im portance that the planter of an or ehard should know whether or not he is putting out clean healthy trees. In order 'to eliminate, as far as possible, the introduction of diseased nursery stock into our orchards, we will en deavor to make a thorough inspection of every shipment of nursery stock upon request of the owners of sueh stock.

The other morning an invoice clerk turned up at his office even later than usual. His employer, tired of waiting for him. had ihimself gone about the work.

"No, sir," replied Jones. drawing off his coat as he glanced over -his employer's shoulder, "it will not. You have made these invoices out to the wrong people.
