I walked to the end of th piazza and saw the big car coming a an awful rate?60 or 70 miles a hour. No checking, no slowing dowi for the bridge at all. I knew i wouldn't take the curve and make th bridge at that speed. It was jus naturally imposible. The drive swerved the car to the left, thei charp to the right to enter the bridal he never reached the bridge. Th > hind end of the car skidded to th left?the car turned over?roller <. ver three times and stopped upsid ( own in the run of the creek, smash ed with the wheel in the air and th engine torn out of the car.

Ravages cf '.he boll [_ weevil, the shortage 6f 1 .oor i...a s other factors,, it says are co~itr:^ [m ing towards making the crop this e year the shortest in histoiy. "During the last half centurv of ? the cotton production no conditions 4-V.rt n?nr\ lirv tn tVir first of .Tu"e 0 UJL U1C LI Up uj^l i v k.*v has /ever been so low as that recently published by the United States crop reporting board. At no time in the history of the boll weevil has that tl insect appeared so early to begin des struction on the cotton production k in this country, has the shortage of s labor been so acute, or the cost of farm supplies and governmental stag tistics on raw cotton in this country and in Europe show that present supht plies of spinnable cotton, comparas tively, are less than ever before in e the history of cotton. At the same d time American and foreign mills are e running on full time, with their outd puts contracted for months ahead, e This is the situation as shown, by the facts in the field of production, supplies of raw cotton and manufact ture. ~ ' * * -1 J s "The first weeK m <june snuweu li some sunshine to warm up and inviga oraie the beiated young crop for a n start'. Immediately the bears made 2: a charge and down goes the price of s contracts as the season advances unv til the future contract falls far bet low the actual cost of the fiber. The bf?rs sell something they haven t got l d want a contract market the sel1 ha- all the advantage, and in the L. open local markets the buyers have ail the advantage. It seems tor" ius - the buyer of a future c&ntract - * 1 1 . ought to have equal rights witn me speculative seller cf the contract. We are convinced that the buyer, th: y .holders of spot cotton should not - permit that sentimental influences a ^ % price* in the exchanges to affect ; the real values of their present holdi or what they may produce in i 1920.
