The United Status Census Office will Pub
llsh Returns at Frequent Intervals Dur
ing the Ginning Season, and In Time to be
of Immense Valne to the Producers.
Mr. Thomas B. Butler, of Gaffne7 t
baa been appointed a local special
agent of the Census Office to collect
cotton-giuolug statistics for this
county, and we join the Government
in urging the ginners to give Mr.
Butler tbeir hearty support and co
operation, thus enabl ing him to make
prompt and accurate returns. We
would impress upon the ginners the
fact that this agent is a sworn officer
of the Governmept, and that tbeir
reports are forwarded as given to
him directly to the Censud Office at
Washington, without passing through
the hands of any middlemen. The
information given is held as strictly
confidential, and the operations of in
dividual ginners are not divulged.
Upon the joint co-operation of the
cotton growers, ginners, and local
agents must depend the success of
the Census Office iu this inquiry, aud
its ability to render this great service
to the Southern people and to all in
terested in the cotton staple.
The Census Office has demonstra
ted in three annual reports, the fact
that the ginners are the only reliable
source of information as to the vol
ume of the annual cotton crop. This
is very complimentary to the ginners,
who, no doubt, will feel a pride iu
sustaining the reputation earned.
In recognition of this interest shown
by the ginners, and of a general de
mand for more frequent reports
through this source, Congress, iu the
act creating a permanent census
office, provided for the collection aud
publications of these statistics at in
tervals during the ginning season.
For the crop of 1902 the office will
issue three reports: the first two will
cover the quantity of cotton ginned
up to aud including October 18 and
December 18, respectively; and the
final report will cover the total quan
tity gioned from the growth of 1902.
Realizing that the collection of the
data for these reports is made at a
season when the ginners’ time is
greatly taxed, and appreciating the
necessity for prompt returus, the
Census Office has located, Id each
couity containing ten or more glu*
neriev, an agent, who will visit each
ginnery in the county and secure a
report of the quantity of cotton gin
ned up to certain dates. Id under*
‘taking the frequent and hurried re*
ports uow sought, it Is of vital im*
portance that the returns be made
with absolute uniformity, and that
ail be received at Washington at one
time. This result could not be ex*
peeted from individual requeste made
by mail of 30,000 giuuere, at a time
when they are engrossed in tbeir gin
ning work. Furthermore, the Census
Office must be kept advised of all
changes in tlie management and oper
ation of these establishments, and
secure returns from all new and re
vived plants. To accomplish such re
sults, it becomes necessary for the
office to have local representatives
who shall be charged with the duty
of keeping in close touch with the
ginning industry iu each county, and
of promptly reporting the quantity
of cotton ginned.
The'statistics for the October re
port will be collected during the week
beginning with Monday, October 20,
and ginners should keep such'records
as will enable them to furnish prompt
ly the required information. These
returns will be tabulated, and the re
sult published within one week from
tbeir receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected through
the commercial system, however ac
curately compiled, fall short of the
demand of both producer and manu
facturer—first, in that as they cover
the quantity of cotton marketed be
tween September 1 of one year and
August 31 of the following, they are
not statistics of a crop grown in any
one year; and second, in the liability
to error involved in statistics so com
piled. Nothing short of official re
ports, made sufficiently early to form
a basis of prices, will intirely satisfy
the cotton grower or manufacturer.
It is gratifyiug to know that the
South has the assistance and co-oper
ation of the Government in* bringing
about the result they desire—an un
dertaking the success of which now
depends upon the cotton growers and
ginners themselves.
In Ke Mr. Collins.
The following is from the Spartan
burg Herald:
“Yesterday morning Mr. D. M. Col
lins appeared in Magistrate Kirby’s
court and gave bond to appear before
that magistrate on Oct. 25th to an
swer to a charge of disposing of crop
without paying rent. The charge is
of date of Dec. 1888, and Mr. J. J.
Lipscdmb is the prosecutor. Both
defendant and prosecutor live in
Cherokee county. At the time the
alleged offense is said to have been
committed Cherokee county was
not created and both parties lived in
Spartanburg county.
Mr. Collius states that be has al
ready been tried and acquitted on
this charge at the recent term of
court for Cherokee county.”
The above case was before the last
term of the sessions court here and.
as we understand it, it was aban
doned on the ground that it should
have been brought in Spartanburg
county. Other(alleged misdemeanors
which occurred oo Cherokee territory
Id the counties from which Cherokee
was takeo, and not tried before the
county was formed, have been tried
iu the Cherokee courts, but pro-
cfeediugs bad been begun when the
county was formed aud the cases
were transferred.
