L. A. Smith as president. Members of the organization took means L to find out about the still and r the men who were running it, and last Tuesday afternoon Mr. Smith, accompanied by Constables H. L. Johnson and H. F. f= Stephenson went in for a cleanup with warran.ts. They found and broke up the still without difficulty and then went after and arrested the men who had , been s{?ottcd as operators. They were John and Lonnie Edwards and Burris Brakefield, all white. Both of the Edwards's confessed, so it is said, but Brakefield will admit nothing. All three men were turned loose on bond. i h Crop Estimate 10,986,000 Bales, i A cotton crop of about 1,000,000 bales smaller than that of r last year, was the forecast for this year by the department of agriculture Tuesday in estimating prospective production at fTl 10 980000 bales. Acreage redaction this year shows a cut of 8.7 per cent from last year's, the decrease being 3,247,000 acres, the total being 36,960,000. The agitation for a reduction in acreage which the department of agriculture says [= occurred in every cotton growing State, the scarcity and high price of labor and unfavorable planting weather caused the de- L crease. The propaganda for reduction : of acreage affected principally ' the larger growers, according to the department, but most of the r smaller proprietors and tenant farmers maintained or even increased their plantings this yea.*. Many other farmers who had != not grown cotton for years planted it this year, hoping to receive uie high. prices prevailing at j| plantiiiK time. Hi Most sections report the crop iate and a scarcity of lahor. The hull weevil is reported very active in a large portion of the belt. Second Week Jurors.
