WOULD PAY 100 P13R CliU. A YiAR. Newberry has as prompt and as v:1 cient. volunteer, tire department as any in the State. or in the South for that matter. Even before the recent pur chse of tile horse hose wagon it was a matter of very geieral eomment, tlit it wias almost impossible that a building should burn down ill the City limits unless it had gained a great head way before the alarm was sounded. This was dem'nstrated time and timie agaill, and since the first-cllass ani modlern equipment has been added, it is still more true. We have tihe water supply and the pressure and we have tle 1 depart ment which is able and readl. to use it. There is one thing. however, which is needed in order to make the equipment complete. That is an electric tire alarm. By greatlv increasing the etlicionvy of Newberry's already very elicient tire department, this equiipment would not only make tihe town s nfer, not only make it all the more itmpossitIle that a tire in Newberry should gain any lead way, but it would d re:se the rate ol' insurance within the city limits, and the amount of this decrease each year would be equal to the ota l cost of the ai artin. Those inl position to know say that an elet rit. fire anla m could be m -st alled (or $2.0t). TIe insulratne men issiut' ts that by installing an elect tic tire alarm the anicunt of insurance paid in New berry each year wouli be decreased $02. i 0o. Tht, conelusion Is simple.

It is estimated by those who . recognized as good authorities oin mat torn agricultural that the revent stivere drought throughout the cotton belt has cut a millioni bales from the South's cotton crop, making a loss to the farm er of the South of at least $50,t000,t0. The Commissioner of Agriculture of Alabami, who has recently returned from an extended trip through the cot ton belt of his State, estimates that Alabama's crop has beenl cut ol' fully 25 per cent, in addition to sileritig from the severe heat aul drought tihe cotton crop of Texas, it. is estimated by the Texans themselves, will be nearly 1,0t(,t0 bales shy on aceount of the ravages of the boll weevil. Speaklig of the Texas cotton crop. the N,,wv York Commercial says: "It is evident from th tone of the telegramnis ftI Tlexas Imd the crop informIat ion ptl lished in the Iewspaipeirs of t hat St at that the Texa,, idea of what this ear crop will be is very different fromn tlt, idea of a great, many Northern 00t t0t men. In New York there is plenty t talk about. a .,00.00KI-ballee fi Texias. and tto tigure is verV sWhion placed below .00,00 bales, whlv e s Texas, whert, it is fair to be presomed, the situation is better understood that it is in New York, a man recen- e newspaper notoriety as an optilist oI tlie most pronouneed ty .p if he eti Iates the cr,op at 3,000.i)0x baes.' From all these reports it is \e\ e\1' dent that nothiig like a fuill elvp w i be mad(e this year, ad that tle '.un to make a full Crop will be dle. fi-r it most part, to the drought of tihe ' weeks and the ravages of t he bol Weevil in Texas.
