Feb. 11?Texas farmers are going to reduce their cotton acreage this year anywhere from 33 1-3 to 50 per cent, according to a letter received by the South Carolina Division of the American Cotton Association from George B. Terrill, com. missioner of agriculture of that State. "We are now sending out leaflets and bulletins in large numbers dealing with the situation," said Mr. Terrell. "We are cooperating with you in yohr efforts and feel that our work will react to good advantage." A letter from A. W. Swain, secretary of the North Carolina Division of the American Cotton AssodfdtMJfc; says that North Carolina is "going to reduce more than we are asking to re' duce and we are signing up right now almost 100 per cent on the proposition." Reports from the other states in me conon Den indicate a neavy reduction. r NORTHERNER TELLS x QUEER STORY. Alleges That He Was Flim-Flammed by Whke Man and Negro in Charleston. The following story taken from a northern newspaper and reprinted by the Sunday News tells a queer but interesting stor y of how a northern tourist was flim-flammed by a white man and a negro in the city of Charleston. but around which hovers a strong element of doubt: Two confidence men of Charleston S. C., one a negro, flim-flammed Seymour Brink, a farmer of Williamson, out of $450 while he was visiting in that city a few days ago. He reported the matter to Acting Detective Captain McDonald yesterday morning and it has been taken up with the police of Charleston in the hope of recovering tne lost money. When the crops were harvested last fall, Brink started for the South to spend a few months in Florida. He left Jacksonville on the return trip a little more than a week ago. At Charleston the boat stopped for a few hours to give the passengers a chance to visit that city. Brink had gone but a short distance from the water, when a strange man dressed in a nobby grey suit, accosted him as though he also were a passenger on the boat and started to walk with him. The pair had gone but a short distance when they met a negro who said that he wanted a cigar and suggested that the man in gray match pennies with him for the smokes. When the man refused the negro began to arraign all Northerners as narrow. As the result of the argument the man in grey and the negro begun to match pennies. The amounts kept increasing, the white man winning, until they reached $500. At that point, the man in grey hesitated saying thai his money was back on the boat. He suggested, however, that Brink loan him $4 50 until they got back to the boat. The man in grey again won and me negro men accused mm or cheatins. There was an argument during which the man in gray made hiR getaway. When Brink noticed this, believing his companion had made for the boat, he also Rtarted for the docks As the boat left Charleston, he learned that the man in grey was pot a passenger. Brink made no report oi the matter until he reached Rochestar. According to the police this is on< of the fayorfte methods used hi Southerners In victimizing gullibh visitors. THE DILLC PHYSICIANS ALLOWKD TO PBBSOMBE WIHE Washington, Feb. 4?A ruling that physician* may prescribe Ttnnoua liquors In any quantities they see fit issued by Prohibition Commissioner Kramer today, contains more comfort for thirsty America than has been discovered in many a dry day. "Vlneous liquors," described by the commissioner, ar? of various alcoholic coutent, from 6 to 6 to 40 per cent or oven more. Unless the necessity of such a ruling should develop in practice no attempt will be made to regulate the alcoholic content of wines dispensed under physicians' prescriptions, prohibition officials assert. They refused either to confirm or deny a report that a decree will soon be issued permitting the manufacture of beer, stout and other malt liquors, to be dispensed under prescription from doctors. May Permit Malt Liquor. It is believed, however, that such a ruling permitting manufacture of malt liquor on a limited scale, will be the logical outcome of today's ruling. Wines, in many cases, are superior to whiskey as a tonic, physicians assert. It is esneeiallv valuable diirina convalescence and as a tonic for the aged. Pressure by reputable physicians upon the prohibition commissioner is understood to have been responsible for the lifting of the ban. o HEN. SMITH STIRS HORNETS NEST. Challenges Figures Alleging a Big Cotton Carry Over for 1021. If Senator Smith is correct in the assumption that government statisticians have erred in claiming more than a 1,000.000 bale cotton carryover for the present year there will !bc a radical change in the complex(ion of the cotton situation. The sen' ator is asking for information on the carry over of the spinnable variety, (Which he alleges does not exceed 1,| 000,000 bales. Government statisticians place it at more than 5,000,000. Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange who is recognized the world over as the leading authority on cotton statistics, feels that [Senator Smith has reflected on him 'seriously by challenging his figures land threatens to 8Ue the senator if he does not retract his statements as to the figures furnished by Hester. A Washington dispatch tells of the progress of the bill in the senate: Washington, Feb. 12 ? Favorable action is expected in the Senate next week on the resolution authorizing the agricultural committee "to ascertain the amount and . grades of cotton and wheat now held in this country, Senator Smith, Democrat, of South Carolina, its author, declared tonight in a statement. The resolution was favorably reported by the Senate committee on contingent expenseg today, but went over on objection from Senator Jones, Republican of Washington. The South Carolina Senator said ho did nn* haliMa ? ? ?? a million bales of cotton "carried over" of the spinn&ble variety which could be used by the spindles of the world, and challenged the accuracy of cotton statistics which say the "carry over" was 5,402,000 bales of American production. The census bureau furnished him figures, the Senator asserted, which "show that there are less than a million bales of cotton carry over out of the world's production" in the last six years, the world production in that period having been placed at 114,062,000 bales and the consumption at 113,074,000 bales. "The production of American cotton for the same period," Senator Smith continued, "aggregated 72,281,182 bales. The consumption of 1 American cotton down to and including 1919, wag 71,849,015 bales, making a surplus over consumption of 432,167 bales, and yet in the table of the stock on hand it is shown that there are of the American production 5,402,000 bales carry over into the present incoming crop." o | MRS I,EVE|t RECOVERS HER TRAVELING BAG.
