7HE WEEK REVIEWED.
By JOSEPH B. LIVELY.
Estimates as to the yield of cotton for the season of 1907 0S arc being xtven to
the public In n limited way. The government has given expert stntlBtlelati*' figure*
on which to baae their calculations ns to the yield for the growing crop, but there
la an apparent Inclination among certain of these expertn to await further Infor
mation beforo making a guess at tho crop. The element whose estimates have so
far failed to appear Is tho class that pretend to bellevo prices are above the real
■value of the staple. At present they have no argument to advance In favor of
lower prices. The government's acreage and condition report, ns of May 25, can not
be figured In tnolr favor. The trade situation Is bright: the spinners are selling all
ths goods they can deliver at remunerative prices, and ure sold several mouths
ahead. The consumptive demand will be ns groat, If not greater, for the yield of
1907-08 aa for the previous seaion, additional arguments decidedly opposed to any de
cline In the price of the raw material.
Ths vlalbfs supply Is rapidly disappearing: and, notwithstanding the fact that
ths present crop shows a yield above 18,000,000 bales, spinners' stocks are low. Indi
cating that the world’s requirement* of raw material have reached a point whore a
11,000,000-bale yield will fail to satisfy consumptive demands.
Statisticians, so far as heard from, do not figure out u bumper yield from the
figures furnished by the government. The best that can be done on that lino la a
crop of 12,000,000 bales maximum, by C. II. Crlssmnn A Co., of Memphis. They say:
™Blnce our last correspondence with you condltlous have Improved very mate
rially. but you must remember that without this Improvement the cron would have
been a perfect disaster In thte part of the territory. Doubtless you and your friends
are receiving extremely favorable reports regarding great progress of the crop—
these facte are partly true, but on the whole they are not ns bearish as they seem
for the simple reason that the crop Is very grassy and labor Is very scarco In cer
tain portions of the cotton belt, and we know, under the most favorable condltolns,
there can not be an average crop made, and would Judge under the most favorable
conditions that a crop of lz.OOO.OuO bales would be thu maximum.”
Messrs. Crutchfield A Co.. New York, In their circular letter of Juno 22, any:
"The recent more favorable weather Is said to hnve enabled farmer* to put
their fields, which htd become very foul during May. Into more fnrorablo condition
and to have Improved the general appearance of the crop to some extent, but
notwithstanding this, the general remarks of our correspondents would Indicate
tint they are convinced of the Impossibility of a btg crop under any previously
known condition from now on. An early frost, or a serious drought during July or
August would certainly moan a calamity, white with perfect conditions from now
on, and a late frost, we may hope for a very moderate yield per acre, sny, n possi
ble crop of 11,000^000 bales maximum."
It has been a wenther market the past week and early sold off to n new low
record for this decline on favorable seasons for the crop, but In the latter part of
the week the strength of the eummer position* caused an advance all along tuo line,
the clots on Friday. June 28, bslng 24 to 85 points above the finals ou Friday, June 21.

FUNERAL OF’ALFRED SPIER
HELD AT LOCUST GROVE
Special to The Georgian.
Locust Grove, aa.. June 29.—The
funeral of Alfred Spier, who died at
Free Homes, Cherokee county, wo*
held here yesterday afternoon. Rev.
Weathers conducted the services, which
were held in the Buptfst church,
large number waa in attendance.
No subject la of more paramount In
terest among nil the reform Issues In
Georgia today than that of the legisla
tion to regulate the liquor traffic.
In the light of the apparently crystal
lized sentiment for total prohibition In
Georgia, the views of Governor Hoke
Smith on the liquor question are of
great Interest now. In his inaugural
address Saturday he said:
"For a long time the state of Georgia
has adhered to the policy of local op
tion applied to the sale of liquor. All
restrictive liquor laws arouse Intense
feeling. As the enforcement of the
laws depends largely upon the senti
ment In the counties In which they are
to be enforced, we have permitted the
voters of each county to decide what
should be the policy of their county.
"While my sympathies In a local elec
tion are with those who opposo the sale
of liquor, for the present, local option
may furnish the best plan for control
ling the liquor traffic.
"Hut after the people of a county vote
liquor out It Is not fair to permit the
dally Inpouring of liquors by Jug trains.
"Our platform demands that the dry
counties of Georgia be kept dry. I cor
dially favor legislation to accomplish
this result, and I bellevo it possible to
restrain to a great extent the use of
liquors shipped from outside the stnte.
"I suggest also the propriety of mak
ing the operation of a 'blind tiger’ a
felony."
Many Liquor Bills,
With only three day* of the session
passed, two total prohibition bills have
been introduced In the house and one
In the senate. Bill No. 1 in the senate,
Introduced on the opening day, Is the
Hardman measure, providing for total
prohibition after Junuarny 1 next,
without the referendum.
In the house, total prohibition bills
have been Introduced by Representa
tive Furr, of Banks, nnd another by
Messrs. Neel, of Bartow, nnd Coving
ton, of Colquitt.
In tho llood of bills In the house Fri
day exactly ten measures seek to place
restrictions around the sale, manufac
ture nnd shipment of Intoxicating bev
erages. Mr. Covington Is directly re
sponsible for four of these.
Besides his Joint measure with Mr.
Neel, he has three other measures. One
provides for the registration of recip
ients of liquor In dry counties, with the
clerk of the court, nnd the pasting of
certificate of registration on the pack
age beforo breaking the seal.
The Jug Trade.
Another measure of Mr. Covlngton’i
prohibits railroads nnd express com
pantes from carrying liquors into dry
counties. Still another prohibit* the
shipment of whisky Into dry counties.
Mr. Odum, of Baker, ha* a measure to
tlx the license for selling liquors in Ba
ker county at $30,000 per annum.
Representative Persons, of Monroe,
also has a measure to prohibit the ship
ment of intoxicants Into dry counties.
Representative Mundy, of Polk, wants
to fix the state license for selling whis
ky at $1,000. Messrs. Warned and
Burkhalter, of Tatnail, have an act pro
viding for the distribution of revenues
arising from the sale of Intoxicants.
Representative Nowell, of Walton,
has an net to make It Illegal to main
tain a "blind tiger" or sell intoxicating
liquors in dry counties. In all these
measure* nothing has any direct bear
ing on the question of local option.

COTTON SEED OIL
MIXED IN BUTTED
TO IM TROUBLE
Uncle Sam Interferes with
Money Making In
dustry.
Rancid butter worked over and but
ter Adulterated with cotton-seed oil,
will have to go or the people making
and selling It must consult the United
States revenue officers and pay the tax
required for this sort of business.
Unless either is done, wholesale In
dictments may be sprung by the Fed
eral grand Jury, which meets Monday.
As the result of quiet Investigations
by revenue officers nnd analyses made
by experts of the agricultural depart
ment In Washington, it has been dis
covered by the district attorney’s office
that the practice of working over ran
cid butter and of mixing cotton-seed
oil with cream In order to Increase the
yield of "butter" is quite common.
When this was discovered the deal
ers from whom the samples of this
class of "butter" were received were
called upon for the tax. They were
asked where they bought the stuff and
the revenue officers found that these
dealers bought many hundred pounds a
week from people in the country.
Rush of Butter Makers.
As n result of the story published lp
The Georgian some time ago, telling of
the Indictment of one man for working
over rancid butter and the probability
of more Indictments, there has been a
rush of butter makers to the office of
United States District Attorney F. Car
ter Tate and all of them disclaimed any
intention of violating the Federal law.
It was learned by officials of the
district attorney’s office that the farm
ers had been supplied with booklets
telling them of the uses of cotton-seed
oil In Increasing the yield of "butter,'
but nothing was said about the gov
ernment tnx required, nor of the fact
that n manufacturer making this stuff
without having paid the government
tax Is guilty of an offense punishable
by of not les* than $1,000 nor more
than $5,000.
It Is said that the booklets furnished
the farmers told them that by mixing
cotton-seed oil with cream, "butter"
could be produced very much quicker
and with less labor, and that the farm
ers would get a yield of about 25 per
cent more.
Would 8top Violations.
It Is not the Intention of the govern
ment officials to punish people uninten
tionally guilty. What they want Is to
stop violation* of the law, not to pile
up convictions. But they point out that
If this practice continues without the
proper license from the government In
dictments will follow.
It was found by the revenue officers
that some people were making a prac
tice of buying up rancid butter and re.
working It with water after melting, so
that it was Increased In quantity and
made salable.

ing from the children of the Taber
nacle Sunday school. At the conclu
sion of the address a vote of the class
on state prohibition will be taken.

BREAKING IN
NEW SHOES
Use Stinson’s Deodorant and

A universal dread, among men and
women alike, which Is possibly only
equaled by the pulling of a tooth, Is the
breaking In of new shoes, with the at
tendant aehing, swollen and sometimes
blistered feet, which entirely unfits any
one for both household and .business
duties, especially during the hot sum
mer months.
STINSON’S DEODORANT not only
gives the feet that delightful sensation
of relief and coolness, but It kills all
unpleasant odor, and 1. essential to
absolute cleanliness.
After the bath
STINSON'S DEODORANT, which Is
an Impalpable powder, delicately per
fumed and highly antiseptic, when used
right after the bath will make the en
tire body “a* fragrant aa a rose.” It
will refresh and kill all unpleasant
odors rising from the armpits, feet and
other parts of the body.
It is a toilet luxury that amount* to
an Indispensable necessity.
