The Ootton Crop Estimates.
Every year the estimates of the
cotton crop create much discussion,
while exercising considerable influ
ence upon the price.
Heretofore the estimates have been
made by agents of the cotton ex
changes, the buyers and the manu
facturers, while the producers have
been without any representation,
unless the government reports could
be so-called. These reports, howev
er, were based upon the opinions of
individvals in the several counties of
the cotton growing states. Now the
government, under a recent law, has
appointed agents to gather informa
tion from the ginners and make re
ports to the census bureau. Latest
reports are wide apart. Below we
give a summary of these reports, as
made by the Oolumbus Enquirer-
Sun;
“According to a report issued by
the census bureau, a little more chan
60 per cent, of the present cotton
crop had been ginned up to the 18 th
of Ootober. The statistics were
gathered by agents of the bureau,
who visited 29,314 ginneries. These
agents reported that up to the date
mentioned $5,925,872 commercial
bales had been ginned.
“If this report is correct, that is,
if 60 per cent of the crop has been
ginned, the crop will not be as large
as Mr. Buston and Mr. Neill estima
ted that it will be, but will come
much nearer to the figures given out
by Theodore H. Price. Mr. Buston,
the Liverpool statistician, places the
minimum estimate at 11,200,000
baleSf while Mr. Neill’s figures for
the minimum yield are 11,400,000,
or 200,000 more than JUr. Buston’s
estimate. Mr. Price’s estimate is
9,600,000, whioh, he says, will be
the maximum yield.
“If the 5,925,872 bales ginned as
reported by the oensus bureau rep
resent 60 per cent of the crop, there
remains only 40 per cent to be ginn
ed, or about 3,940,460 bales. This
would give a total crop of only 9,-
866,332 bales, a little more than
200,000 bales above the estimV
made by Mr. Price.”
Democracy didn't gain any states
i x the federal elections on Tuesday
of last week, but the republican ma-
j > *;ty in the next congress will bo
ufc 20 less than it is now. In
K v York the republican plurality
foy governor was about 95,000 less
ihiu in 1901. v

In Hancock county the terms of
& i the rural public schools will be
extended. By the efforts of the
*• mnty school commissioner citizens!
< f the county were induced to sub-1
: $1,800 aud thereby a like
< .. .unt was secured, from the gen-
- education board.
The land upon which the new
passenger depot in Atlanta is to be
located is owned jointly by the
Southern and the Central of Geor
gia, and it is proposed that all the
railroad companies to use the depot
form a terminal company to build
nnd control a union passenger sta
tion.
Gov. Terrell’s first inesaacr" '
the legislature was presented I
Saturday. It contains no high-
sounding phrases, but expresses his
opinions in plain language. He says
the state tax rate should be limited
by law to 5 mills, that corporation
franchises Bhould bo taxed, that
provision should be made for the
prompt payment of public school
teachers, and that provision should
bo made whereby district taxation
oould be self-imposed for the benefit
of the public schools. He favors the
exemption of college endowments
from taxation; sayB an agricuRural
college should be established in
each congressional distl’iot, and de
clares that records of the .revolu
tionary and civil wars should be
compiled and preserved.

On Wednesday of last week the
Georgia legislature re-elected Sena
tor Alexander Stephens Olay to the
United States senate from Georgia.
He deserves the honor conferred, es
pecially as he had been selected by
the people in the June primary to
succeed himself. Georgia’s plan of
voting for the senator in the demo
cratic primary is equivalent to elect
ing by direct vote of the people. All
other Btates can do likewise, and
thus accomplish that which congress
has declined to grant—the election
of U. S. senators by xote of the peo
ple.
—1.:
A dill to establish a court of ap
peals, with five judges, has been in
troduced in the Georgia legislature.
It is proposed that this court shall
have jurisdiction over certain cases
now within the jurisdiction of the
supreme court, aud that it will serve
as a relief to the higher court. The
argument in its favor is plausable,
but it does not appear that auy re
lief to the people, now heavily tax
ed, will be induced. Wo d6 nofc
need any more officials, nor any
more salaries to be paid.
Editor Rainey of Dawson is be
coming a legislator right. Of the
three bills he has introduced, one
provides for the reduction of a may-
oc’d salary and one provides for a
ptrfc of the dispensary profits at
Bronwood to be used to pay teach
er* and build a school house.
In Memory of Mrs. A. F. Smith.
God giveth and He taketh away,
blessed be the name of the Lord.
The All-wise Master saw fit to
take our dear Mrs. Eugenia Smith
from our midst Sunday, Nov. 2nd,
at 2 p. m. She seemed in perfect
health in the morning when she, in
her wonted goodness and love for
the gospel, persuaded her husband
and niece to attend services at
Pleasant Hill. After arranging din
ner and other household tluties, she
sat by the fire place conversing with
a friend who had chanced to come
in, when the neighbor stepped to
the door looking for the return of
Mr. Smith and niece, she heard a
noise, and on examination she was
confronted with the prostrate form
of our departed loved one.
Our Father who reigns above
makeB no mistakes, though it seems
hard for us to give her up, yet we
know He hath need for her, so He
called her up to sit at His right
hand, with the greetiug, “Well
done, thou good and faithful ser
vant, enter thou into the joys of thy
Lord.”
She deemed it always her special
duty and privilege to help the poor,
needy and afflicted. She was the
good Sarmaritan in every case. Oar
ing for and sympathizing with the
afflicted was a peculiar pleasure.
This precious woman leaves a de
voted husband, two daughters and
four sons, together with a host of
relatives aud friends, to mourn her
death.
Her debt is paid; no more death,
no more sickness, no more pain, no
sorrow, for sweet “Mrs. Genie” is
basking in Heavenly sunshine gent
ly falling on the city, whose streets
are of gold and whose gates are of
pearl.
Husband and children, remember,
“Thy will be done,"and try to count
yet your many blessings. Her ex
emplary life is a benediction to you.
This is but a stronger tie between
you and the loving Saviour. She
now beckons you; be ready, for no
no knoweth when the Son of Man
• imth. Let us hope to meet her
in® Holy City.
One Who Loved Her.
