I GROWING COTTON CROP
His Object Is to Make the Census
Reports on tlie Growing and Mctared
Cotton Crops of Real Benefit
to the Cotton Growers of the
South.
A dispath from Washington to the
Columbia Record says Representative
Cover will introduce a bill, for the
preparation of which he came to
Washington in advance of the session,
and whose purpose is to make
more accurate the reports of the bureau
of statistics of the department
of agriculture, relating to cotton. The
hill simplifies tho present method of
gathering the reports, and abolishes
certain features of the system with a
view to greater accuracy.
"It is not intended by this bill,"
says Mr. Dover, "to create the impression
that the integrity of these
reports of the department, relative to
cotton, is called into question. On
the contrary, I am satisfied that the
reports are fairly gotten up with no
idea of giving special advantage to
either the producer or manufacturer
of cotton, but are predicted upon
the idea that there shall be some disinterested
source from which shall
issue reliable data upon which the
cotton trade may act. Since the unfortunate
Hyde affair, no one has
questioned the personal integrity of
those whose duty it is to issue these
reports.
"During the past 11 years the department
of agriculture has made 11
crop estimates, five of which were
slightly over-estimated, and six of
them slightly under-estimated. In
years of over-estimates, the average
error was 2.1 per cent; in tnose or
under-estimate tho average error was
3.1 per cent; for the entire 11 years
the average error was 2.7 per cent
and the balance of the over-estimate
and the under-estimate shows for the
entire 11 years a net under-estimate
of .9 of 1 per cent. The l roducer in
the 11 year period has had the benefit
of .9 of 1 per cent. When it is
remembered that the reports of the
department of agriculture are estimates
and not enumerations the figures
here indicate as near an approximation
of accuracy as tho present
system is capable. It is impossible to
forecast with absolute accuracy the
yield of any given crop; the best expected
is to continue to perfect the
system with a view of reaching the
nearest approach to accuracy.
"T am jinwIlUnf to abandon a svs
torn of some kind of crop reporting,
after it was Inaugurated and built up
at the instance of the producers to
protect them against the biased and
unreliable reports of the cotton gamf)ler.
Such an abandonment at this
time, or in the future, will place the
producer again, as formerly, entirely
at the mercy of the speculative element
whose business it is to make
his reports in accordance with the
side of the market upon which he is
gambling.
"I am Interested, however, in improving
the system and in making
these reports represent as nearly as
possible the exact conditions, both
with reference to the growing cotton
and final yield. This bill purposes to
rid the system of some of its crudities
and inconsistencies and to place it
upon a more reasonable and sensible
basis. Under the present system the
acreage report is Issued the first of
dune of ea,ch year, as the 25th of
May. That the number of acres in
cultivation on the 25th oT May of a
given crop year represents accurately
the number of acres that will be continued
in cultivation is preposterous
on its face; and yea, the report as tc
the acreage at this time has a sent it
mental effect during the entire croj
year and does, in a greater or less
degree affect prices. Those familial
with the cotton business know tha
during the month of June for reason:
innuemerable hundreds of thousand:
of acres of cotton are abandoned
The present report does not accoun
for this abandonment of acreage unti
tlie first of December, when the fina
estimate is made and when the re
port is too late to ho of value to h
producer. My bill makes he acreag
report on the first of July when th
acregae then in cotton will mor
nearly represent the acreage that wil
continue to be cultivated. This,
regard, as a substantial improvement
"Again, the present system make
the report as to the condition of col
ton on June 1st as of May 25th. Thi
report I have always regarded as a
absurdity, for I am too well acqualnl
ed with the actual growing of cotto
not to know that no matter what th
conditions of the crop may bo on Ma
25th, It can be on the 25th of Sej
tomber when the crop has ripened,
.could never see any reason for thi
v report, and yet it does have a sent!
mental effect which is hard to over
come, because in the cotton trade, 1
Is the Urst Impression that is th
juost lasting. The same reasonin
holds with reference to the July re
port of the present system and t
remedy these defects, my bill pro

WORKED FOR MORGAN
HONDURAS OFFICIAL ACCUSES
THE UNITED STATES OF
, Forcing Morgan Loan on Southern
Republic Under Threat of Causing
Rebellion.
In a 200-page bcok published at
tral American republic will mean
rades, former minister of ilnance of
Honduras, declares the state departmont
at Washington encouraged the
Uonilla revolution in Honduras last
winter in an attempt to force the
Honduran government to sign the
Morgan loan agreement. Parades asserts
the Washington state department
virtually submitted to President
Davila of Honduras this statement:
"The protectorate and the Morgan
loan, or the revolution."
President D&vila, Parades declares
in his book, was forced to agree to
the loan proposition and ordered the
rmistice signed.
Correspondence that passed among
the governments of Great Britain,
Honduras and the United States is
published in Parades' book and in
this connection he asks:
"Js it the intention of President
Taft to subjugate Honduras, and turn
the country over to the dominance

Parades was opposed to ratification
by the United States senate of
the Morgan loan treaty and his book
is intended for presentation to senators
and congressmen at Washington.
POUND DEAD IN WATER.

about three miles from Beaufort, N.
C. The man had evidently taken off
his outer clothes, a3 they were piled
on the bank, and waddee into the
river clad in underwear, hose and
shoes and fallen on his knees in the
shallow water.
The clothes contained only a watch,
pocket drinking cup and 20 cents in

Beaufort on the 11 o'clock train
Thanksgiving Day. Ho went to the
Innlet Inn, where he registered as C.

poses to abolish the condition reports
of June and July and make
the first condition report on August
the 1st, when I think all will agree
the condition of the crop at that time
does give a fairly accurate forecast of
what we may expect finally of it. The
September and October reports of
the present system are continued, because
I regard them as of great value
in advising the public as to the ultimate
outcome of the crop. The far1
mer should have this that he may the
' better sell his crop and if the government
does not furnish it to him in a
thoroughly unbiased and unprejudic'
ed way, the speculator will, in such

GOMEZ AND EIGHT OTHER MEN
1?UT TO DEATH.

Out of Jail, March Them Out and

A dispatch from Mexico City says
"Che" Gomez, whose rebellion at
Juchitan resulted in a clash between
President Madero and the governor
of Oaxaca, was lynched Tuesday afternoon
at Rincon Antonio. Eight of
Gomez's partisans met a like fate.
Gomez, who was on his way to the
capital accompanied by ten of his
followers, was taken from the train
at Rincon Antonio, Oaxaca, Monday

of Gov. Juarez, In spite of the fact
that he had been promised safe conduct
by the president and bore a
passport signed by the executive. He
and eight of his followers were taken
from the jail by a, mob of residents
of the little town ,augmented by
hundreds from the neighboring regions,
marched two miles from town
anid shot to death.
Noting the ugly temper of the people
and anticipating trouble, the local
authorities reported the situation
to Gov. Benito Juarez, who was in
San Geronimo, about 40 miles from
Kincon Antonio. He secured the
consent of Gen. Merodio to send
troops to the village. Before the
troops arrived, however, the guard of
nine rurales constituting the entire
military force of the town, which had
battled with the mob of 1,000 or
more., had been overpowered by the
rabble, and the prisoners were carried
off into the hills.
The mo had stopped with its prisoners
at a little station. As the
train appeared it was recognized as
a troop train, and without waiting
longer the prisoners were riddled
with bullets and the assassins iled
into the hills. Only the bodies of
their victims were encountered by the
soldiers when they alighted from the
cars.
Reports from San Geronimo tonight
were that mobs of Oaxacans
paraded the streets shouting "Viva
Juarez," "Viva Oaxaca libre," "Independence"
and "Death to Madero."
Among the lynchers were many of
the former followers of Gomez who
declared he had betrayed them. Numerous
commissioners are reported
to have called upon the governor and
assured him of their loyalty and support.

ANOTHER GOOD ROADS TRAIN.
The Atlantic Coast Line Railway to

That there is no end of benefit to

which cannot be denied and a fact
which is recognized all over the
country. So much importance is attached
to this subject that the two

Already one of these trains has

more than a month another such
train will be here being sent by the
Atlantic Coast Line Railroad. The
Southern Railway sent such a train
hero during the summer gone which
was operated out of Richmond. The
one from the Atlantic Coast Line
Railway will bo sent out from the
same point and is scheduled to reach
this city on the morning of Jan. 9.
The train will spend the greater part
of the day in this city.
The train is made up of several
coaches which are lilted up with the
latest devices for road building and
traveling with the train will be several
government experts who will
make addresses and show those who
visit the train just how to build
roads and how to keep them intact
after they have once been properly

Panama Exposition in 1915, and if
they haven't mended their ways by
then we'll make that place an example
the world will always remember."
This, according to a heretofore unpublished
portion of Ortlc iMcManigal's
confession, was the substance
of a threat made by the McNamaras
after they had blown up tne Los
Angeles Times and murdered twentyone
of its employees. The plan was
discussed, McManigal said, in connection
with his trip to Los Angeles last
Christmas, when he dynamited the
Llewyllyn Iron Works?the crime to
which John J. McNamara pleaded
guilty of being the instigator.
McManigal, who was James B.
McXamara's chief assistant in more
than a score of dynamite outrages,
was sent here to ' give the Times a
second dose." Undeterred by the appalling
loss of life the Times disaster,
the McNamaras determine;! to nreaa
the defiant spirit of General Harrison
Gray Otis, owner of th* paper, by
placing a bomb against the auxiliary
plant in which the paper was published
after its main building was destroyed.
McManlgal confessed that
he came fully intending to blow up
the auxiliary plant.
"But when I got here," explained
McManigal when retelling his story
Tuesday. "I found the place so
closely guarded that I couldn't do
anything without taking some lives.
So far'as I am aware, my stuff never
killed anybody; I was always careful
to set my clocks to go off when tnere
would he nobobdy on the job. Ana
I wasn't going to be rjmurderer even
to 'get the Times,' so I took the suitcase
bomb which I had nrougnt on
a passenger train from Chicago and
left it at the Llewellyn Iron Works."

The life savings of Jack Simpson,
of Aitken, Minn., amounting to $2,5
65, securely hidden from burglars,
were reduced to pulp by hungry rats
and mice, and in a letter received by
President Taft he appealed for the
redemption of the pulverized fragments
by the Federal treasury. His
wealth accumulated to buy a farm.
Simpson explains, was placed in a
box and deposited between ine upstairs
floor and ceiling. No human
being disturbed it, but when ho took
it from its hiding place he found it
had been reduced to dust by the ravages
of rodents.

The Poultry Yard.
It is not good for hens to dust in ^
coal or wood ashes only, some folks
claim, but we find that a few ashes
lighten up the dirt.
, Noon is a good time to supply the
, stock with some green stufT, such as
cabbages or roots of any kind. The
, latter can bo cut in half, and the
. hens will then pick them to pieces.
i Have the floors of the houses well
' bedded with some light litter, so that
7 the biddies will be induced to scratch,
, and thus warm up their bodies these
1 cold, frosty mornings.
Drafts in the chickens' homo are
more dangerous when the rowis are
' quiet on the roost than when they
are stirring around during the day;
but a cold air current sweeping
7 thr.ough the house is a bad thing
at any time.
I Poultry feeding has been much 1ma
proved and simplified by the Intro
duction of the hopper method. The
. old-fashioned way of preparing and
b mixing a wet mash is done away with,
on account of its tedious and need
less expense of time and labor. The
- hopper is filled with a variety of
f ground grains, and placed wnere It
1 is accessible to the fowls at all timet,
i. With this arrangement the hens need
r never go to roost without sufficient
food.
