The invitation was accepted and accompanied by the friend the two entered the millinery parlors. When lo and behold, a slen der damsel with sea green hair trip ped daintily from behind a screen. The reporter and his friend started with open mouths at this apparuticm.

CHANGE MADE IN ft COTTON REPORTS ] Method of Publishing the Statis-] tics Will Shortly Be Announcement has been; received in Anderson of a change to be made In the method of publishing cotton sta tistics. This change was yesterday announced by William J. Harris, di rector ol tbe bureau of the census, commerce department. t The eunual reports on the quantity of cotton ginned bare heretofore in* eluded the quantity of Unters obtained by the oil mills. Formerlr there was only a comparatively smi .11 quantity or Unter? obtained and tb.ey .wera of such a grade as c*uld be u Bod, to some extent for the same purposes as wars the lower grades of cotton. Msnj' of tbe oil mills have now installed ma chinery for the cjpser delioticj; of. the1 seed. This has resulted in i\ large increase in the total quantity iof Un ters produced each year and jet the same time, in lowering the average quality of the fiber, so that new- only a smsll pari; if sny. la used as a. sub stitute of lint cotton. i It, therefore, appears advtsahkt, not to includo the quantity of llnteru In the total production of cotton fori the crop, ana accordlagly, the total p in the report to be issued oa Marcht 80, wilt relate only to lint cotton and will not includo Unters. Informationi as to the production of Haters, however* will be given in a footrote so that aw* parative figures may be. computed on the basis of the reporta issued in pre vious years.
