If those who are prone to take their opinions ready-made from the northern trade papers and Hearsts' calamity howlers would take a look at the crops that are now growing in this section they would quit talking hard times. There never was a bet? ter crop prospect at this season and a good crop spells prosperity locally The price of cotton is not discourag? ing and with Secretary McAdoo stand? ing ready to furnish money to move the crops if the banks need assistance, there Is no need to apprehend a shortage of money or a financial squeeze engineered by the cotton fu? ture gamblers of Xew York.
