COTTON CROP TO BE LESS.
Texiuis and North Carolinians for
Redaction
Columbia. 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.

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."
