.1 1'i.nrrii THE COTTON CROP. ! Th? Qinn*r? Mtka Thtir RaporU to the Government, THE CROP APPEARS TO BE LARGE. The Depart uicnt of Agriculture 11ms Instituted it New Scheme for (totting nt the Cotton Crop Figure*. The census Viureau tin ttic ootttm ginned from the 1902 crop up to and including Dec. 13 last, is l. bales, irrespective of shape or weight, equal to 8,1105,503, according to the commercial counting. This is 90.2 per cent of the crop. The following is the number ?>f ginneries reporting in the several States and territories; u lined staies, ,io,i:h; Aiaimina, 3,889; Arkansas, 2,510: Florida, 28 1; Georgia. 5,040: Indian 'IVrrilory, 128; Kentucky, .1; Louisiana, 2,115; Mississippi, 4,270; Missouri, 50; North Carolina, 2,085; Oklahoma, 218; South Carolina, 5,187; Tennessee, 815; Texas, 4,512; Virginia, 100. Following is the number of hales of cotton ginned to and including Dec. 13, (growth of 1002:) United States, 0,311,835: Alabama, 800,004; Arkansas, 708,801; Florida, 54,443; Georgia, 1,370,850; Indian Territory, 372,042; Kentucky, 1,027; Louisiana. 070.480; Mississippi, 135, 557; Missouri, 30,185; Nort h Carolina, 517,008; Oklahoma, 103,100; South Carolina, 803,080; Tennessee, 272.135; Texas, 2,107,472; Virginia, 12,537. Following is the ginners' estimate as to the (piantity to be ginned from this crop after Dec. 13: United States, 1,057,771; Alabama. 05,108; Arkansas, 140,715; Florida, 6,598; Georgia, 00,714; Indian Territory, 52,831; Kentucky, 150; Louisiana. 159.008*.

Following is the canvassing agents' estimate of the per cent, of the crop ginned to Dee. 13: United States, 90.2; Alabama, 94.2: Arkansas, 86.1; Florida, 87.9;Georgia. 95.4; Indian Territory, 87.2; Kentucky, 87.3; Louisiana, 83.2; Mississippi, 82.8; Missouri, 94.3; North Carol ilia, 94.9; Oklahoma, 84.5; South Carolina, 90.4; Tennessee, 88.8; Texas, 91.7; Virginia, 82.o. The above statisics of the quantity of cotton ginned to December 13th are expressed in bales as pressed at the ginneries, irrespective of shape or weight. In the. total of 9,311,835 bales there are 812,001 round hales averaging from 240 to 300 pounds each. Counting such round bales as half hales, as is the custom in the commercial community, the total ginned to December l.'Uh is 8,905,503. The glnners have not yet returned their bale weights for this crop, but 40 cotton compress companies distributed throughout the cotton states advise this olllec that they compressed and actually weighed from the growth of 1902 up to December 13th, 1,000,434 bales averaging eacli 503.8 pounds gross. Using tills weight as the average for square bales for round bales 253 pounds t tic average obtained from the weight returns of the home offices of the companies such patents, the equivalent number of 500 pound bales ginned to December 13th is found to lie 8,974,722. Deducting the weight of the bagging and ties (22 pounds per square bale) the number of equivalent 500 pound bales, net weight , is found to be 8,000,758. i;y two mosi thorough canvasses this season 32,528 ginneries, active and idle, have heen located, reported, of which number 30,104 have heen operated for this crop. In their December canvass the local special agents ascertained the quantity of cotton ginned from the beginning of the season to and Including December 13th and also secured from each of the active ginners his estimate of the quantity of cotton to be ginned by Ids establishment after December 13. The estimate of the percentage of the crop ginned is based on the estimates of 620 canvassing agents, who were instructed to con 11 no their estimates to the territories canvassed by them and to t he knowledge gained therefrom. One estimate therefore serves as a check against the other. According to the estimate of the ginners 10.2 per cent, of the crop remained to he ginned after December 13, while according to the estimate of the canvassing agents the percentage' was 9.8. Applying these percentages and the general average bale weight obtained round and square bales, the crop according to the ginners is 9,990,300 bales, and according to the canvassers 9,954,100 bales of an average gross weight of 500 pounds. The census office assumes no responsibility for the accuracy of these estimates. This report will be followed by a third and llnal report at the end of the ginning season, about March 16th, which will distribute the crop by counties, segregate upland and sea island cottons, and give weight of bale. IT IS NOT Ot'KSSWOKK. in giving out the report Director jvierriam made the following statement: "It seems important to again state, ( in connection with these statistics of ( the cotton crop of 1U02, that is so far as they relate to the bales of cotton | ginned to December, last, they involve no guesswork at any point, no estimate by anybody, and no uncertainty of any kind. They represent t lie ex- ' act number of bales of cot ton that have passed through the ginneries. All that has been done by the census oflice is to make and verify the additions. Anybody is at liberty to examine the whole process adopted by < the census ofllce in handling these returns. The returns represent the * ginning operations of every ginning establishment which lias handled any portion of the growth "f 1U02. "The report Is made at a time so v near the close of the ginning season i as to permit a very close ap- 1 proximailon of the actual growth ot tho year, in S00 pound b&let. It i?cmi probable that the Anal report, to bo luuod about March 10th next, will not show a variation ', of 30,000 bales from tho citlmntoa of tho total crop which uro submitted from two sources In connection with J the Agurcs of cotton ginned to Jiec. 13. ; "This Is the tlrst time In the his tory of the American cotton crop that definite and exact knowledge of the season's growth has Itcen placed in possession of the public al so early a date, or within a date live months as early. "The census olllce is already per- ' footing plans for more frequent re-' ( ports in connection with I he crop ot , 1903. Its lirst report will cover all I1 the cotton ginned, ot the years' growth i up to and including Sept. 1st. This 1 ; portion of each year's crop is now as- |, signed, in the commercial estimates, to the production of the previous year as the commercial cotton year ends Sept. I. "The second report will include all cotton ginned up to and including Oct, 18, 190:i, the date of the tlrst report for 1902, enabling an exact comparison in the two seasons. The third report will cover t he cot ton ginned up to and including Nov. 18. a period of the utmost importance to the growers and manufacturers. The fourth report will represent t he cot ton ginned to Deo. 13. The fifth will bo tie' final report. i "It will be seen that this plan con- i templates practically a monthly re- . port during the cotton ginning sea- | son of ltm:i. If it shall be found that ( still more, frequent reports tire desir- ; able, the census ortiec. will be prepared ; to make them for the crop of 1901. I "The census met hod of ascertaining the annual cot.ton crop can be grad \ ually extended and developed, with { comparatively little increase of ex- \ pense, so tis to include stat istics of the , cotton seed oil industry, the acreage i annually devoted to cotton, and tin i mill takings and consumption of cot- < ton, thus making the reports a com- i plete showing of tho product ion and . consumption of domestic cotton.

In a moment the trust iug maid has lost her name and her free will, and is tied fast ton man. Well, he is lied fast, too. to if is all right all round, I reckon, iniL somehow I always feel more coniorn about t he womairt hail t lie man. die Is a helpless soil of a creature md takes the most risk, for she risks lier all. I was ruminating over this, for [here was a marriage going on at our food friend Sain Jones' house, and l heir pretty daughter, Laura, was dmnging her name and home on t his the last day of the year and going olf t,o live with a men she hasn't known very long; l>ut I have diagnosed him [rom his face and features and am ;alislied with her choice. lie is a bin* irarted gentleman, or else the signs 'ail. I wanted to he present and five l hem my blessing, hut was not \ell enough to go I've got tlio depliant iosis from my toes to my cnees. and can hardly meander across lie room, hut I am always interestid in the marriages of our young leoplo. If is the most serious msiness in this life, and if I lie peril ot t was known beforehand many of the oiing people would hesitate lo make ho change. The chains ol matrimony nd not hoods of marriage are the iglit words. When men make a parttership they can't got along well if liev arc imliUn ill rllunnull ii.it i?r in noral principle or in business ways, >111 thoy can dissolve and separate at tleasure and t ry another man. A man nd his wife ought to lie alike in alnosl everything, in some things folks ike tlielr opposiles their countertarts. A man with blue eyes goes disracted over a pretty i 11 with hazel yes I did. and I'm distracted yet vlien i look into them, though I've >een doing t hat for llfty-four years, tut in mental and emotional dualities ind in tastes and habits and politics iikI religion t hey should class together. I never made any mistake about my hoice of a partner for the dance of a ife, but I've thought of it a thousand lines that if Mrs. Arp had known I oved codlish and got up hy daybreak very morning, she never would have uul me. It was nip and tuck to get ler, anyhow, and that would have Ueen the feather t.o break the camel's oack. Well, I'm mortal glad she lid n't know it, though 1 am free to say I hat if I had known she slept until the second ringing of the lirst hell for breakfast and was fond of raw oysters, it would ha\e had a dampening effect upon my ardor for a few minutes, only i few. Ihit I have seen some mighty lever people eat oysters raw and sleep late in the morning, lint still a man ind his wife can harmonize and compromise a good many of these t hings. Hid it is a beautiful illustration <o tliis to see M i's.

That/codfish hu.iiioss comes to me honestly from my 'athcr's side, and my mother put up villi it like a pood, considerate wife, ind we children prow up with an idea hat it was pood. I've heard of a 'ounp couple who g< I married and vent olT to Augusta on a lour and the 'oiler stuck his fork into a codlish hall md took a bite. lie choked it down ike a hero/ and when his beloved tsked him what was the matter, redied: "Don't say anything about it, dandy, but as sure as you are born ,here is something dead in the iread." Well we can make compromises ibout all such things as habits and astrs, but there are some things hat won't compromise worth a cent , f a girl has been brought up to have i good deal of freedom, and thinks it io barm logo waltzing around with very gay Lothario who loves to lance, and after slur gets a feller of lor own, wants to keep at it and have lolluted arms around her waist, she iad just, as well sing farewell to ronugal love and domestic peace, for it s against the order of nature for a living husband to stand it, and lie light n't . And now another busy year lias one gone like the water that has assed over t lie dame gone never to f i iii n. i ii nas earned many mends lontf with it and left sad memories ti the household, hut on the whole it as been a good year to us all and ! jovidence lias been kind. Now is the time to look back and j ?view the past, as did old Janus, for hom January was named. He was lie porter, t he ^ate keeper, of heaven, nd had two fae.es one to look bark nd the other forward into the inysteous future. Numa Pompilius ^avc im his name and his high oilier, for i! was next in power to .lupltor. lie Ided two months to the calendar and died one January foi Janus and the her February for the mother of a i s. Until then t here were but oitfht out lis of forty-six days each. Numa Ided two more, which wave them drty-six days each, and January was . tho fourth month and remained so for more than two thousand years, April was tho tlrst month and remained so C I until two hundred years n^o. Why It li was chunked I cannot understand, for h A pi 11 is much more like tho beginning fi of a now year than January. April fi ! comes from apcrlo, to open ?tlio tinio n when tho earth opens and the ^rass a comes up and tho dowel's bloom and I the birds sitiK- hut the names of al- i j most everything soemtocoinefroiii that ;i j old myt holoiry.und wo conform to thin u 1 old mythology, and we can't ^et rid <?f n it. My irrcat-grandfather lived and ii died under that ?>1? 1 calendar when p i April was the tlrst month of the year, a Julius Caesar and Augustus Caesar m stuck in two more months and made o the year of twelve months of thirty t. days cadi, hut April remained in the e llrst month and ought to he now. v llut whether Christmas be in December or in April, we love the old s superst it ions t iiat cluster around this a season of joy and gladness. I always d [thought It a pretty idea for a man to h i be weighed every Clirist mas or New a ' Year input bis aids and deeds in the f I lialances, the good on one side and the n 1 i.i 11 cm I he nl.liiT. and lit liini rtsi* In c heaven or fall below it as the scales o might turn. This Is not an ort hodox || doctrine, for it. is said that one hud ii deed will outweigh a thousand good s ones. Nevertheless, Helseha/.ar was h weighed, and the Scripture Isutnd In h such figures of speech. It will take I miracles of grace to save us, anyhow, and we must ail help one another, for < the |)e\il is doing his best. David p committed murder; Solomon worship- t cd idols; Cain killed his hrothcr; Jacob t cheated Msau out of his birthright; t Noah got drunk, and Peter denied his I Master, but they all repented and got Ii forgiveness; and if there is any dilTcr- )i ence between folks now and folks then n I don't know it. Then let us all love h our Maker and be good to our fellow n men. Hill Arp In Atlanta Constitu- n lion.
