COTTON IS SHORT.
A Decline of Over Throe Points From
September.
Returns to the statistical division of
the department of agriculture for the
month of October, make cotton show a
decline of 3.2 points from its Septem¬
ber condition, which was 85.9, as
against 82.7 for the present month,
i he condition of cotton in June was
88.3, in July 89.G, risiug to 91.8 in
August.
The lessened prospective yield in
the states of North Carolina and South
Carolina is due, in part, to the storm
which occurred in the latter part of
September. For the most part, how¬
ever, the decline in the condition
through the cotton belt is due to con¬
tinued rains that began about the mid¬
dle of August and extended into Sep¬
tember. There is much of shedding,
rot and just reported, as a conse¬
quence and in addition no little loss
irom insect ravages, particularly the
boll worm.
Texas is the only exception to the
general fulling off in condition, that
state having gained four points, not¬
withstanding the excessive rainfan in
some parts of the state. The percent¬
ages by states are as follows :
Virginia, 89; North Carolina, 61.3;
South Carolina, 79; Georgia, 79; Flor¬
ida, 71.9; Alabama, 84; Mississippi,
80; Louisiana, 89; Texas, 88; Arkan¬
sas, 79; Tennessee, 79; Missouri, 90.
The state averages for September
were: Virginia, 10 ); North Curolinn,
88; South Carolina, 86; Georgia, 84;
Florida, 82 ; Alabama, 80 ; Mississippi,
85; Louisiana, 91; Texas, 84; Arkan¬
sas, 89; Tennessee, 81; Missouri, 93.
The indicated yield in hundredths
of bales per acre by states is as fol
ows: Yiigiuia, 48.5; North Carolina,
33.4; South Carolina, 35; Georgia,
37; Florida, 20.3; Alabama, 30.7;
Mississ ppi, 85; Louisiana, 43.2; TV x is,

The amendment to pension the dis¬

These figures m-e from the official
consolidation at the capital, Thursday

The governor and the secretary of

senators, representatives, and the vote

Five counties — Colquitt, Early,
McIntosh, Echols and Twiggs—either

from three counties —Early, Twiggs

have a total vote of quite a thousand

Burke county, 2,321, and Richmond
2,864, for the amendment; and Co¬
lumbia, 513; McDuffie, 445, against
the amendment. Total for the amend¬

son, 491; Fannin, 597; Forsyth, 1,391;
Gilmer, 283; Milton, 503; Pickens,

district that piled up heavy majori¬
ties against the amendment and caused
its defeat.
Blizzard Threatened in the Northwest.
North Dakota, portions of South
Dakota, and the northern border of
Minnesota, are buried under a heavy
fall of snow. The storm, which, in
some localities, has developed into a
blizzard, began Sunday morning, and
every indication points to a repetition
of the blizzard of fourteen years ago.
Ordered an Elephant.
Rather a good story is told of 1
big London firm, ilius rative of the
magnitude of their business. Their
favorite form of advertise ment is that
they “furnish everything hat man
can want, from the cradle to the
grave, at twenty-four hours' notice."
Knowing this, and wishing to dis¬
concert them, one of their customers
filled in one of their blank order
forms that he happened to have in
the house, requesting the firm to send
to his residence the next afternoon a
large elephant.
Chuckling in anticipation over the
firm’s embarrassment he was astound¬
ed the next afternoon to hear a com¬
motion in the street, and on going to
the door to learn the cause there
stood a large elephant in charge of
one of the firm’s messengers, who
touched his cap saying:
“The elephant you were pleased to
order, sir."
The unhappy joker rushed franti¬
cally olT to the establishment where
he had ordered his elephant and en¬
deavored to explain matters to the
head of the firm.
“I did not really want the ele¬
phant, you know," he exclaimed.
“I only wanted a little joke."
“Very sorry, sir." was the urbane
and smiling response, “A ‘little
joke’ is the only thing we don't
keep in stock, but there is your
elephant. ' •
And the wag departed a sadder and
a wiser man.—[Chicago Record.
Native Flax in Nevada.
.Although the fact appears to be
little known, Nevada produces a na¬
tive flax which is precisely the same
in appearance as the cultivated va¬
riety. The wild flax, however, is a
perennial plant, the root sending up
new stalks every spring, whereas the
common flax is an annual and re¬
quires the sowing of new seed each
season. The ordinary flax cultivated
in Europe and America is a native of
Egypt and some parts of Asia. It
does not seem to be known to our
scientists in the Atlantic States that
the same plant, except that it is pe¬
rennial, is indigenous to the Great
Basin region of the Pacific Coast.
It grows in and about the moun¬
tain meadows, and attains a height
of about three feet, Before the
whites came to this country the In¬
dians gathered this wild flax and
used it in making nets for catching
fish and rabbits. The stalks produce
a long, very strong and beautiful
fiber. The flowers are blue, and tlie
seed capsules are round and firm, lb
might be worth while to cultivate
this wild flax, being native to the
country, and it might prove of
greater value in some respects than
the variety at present grown.—[Ter¬
ritorial Enterprise.
Cost of Growing Wheat.
The Department of Agriculture has
Issued a summary made from esti¬
mates of 25,000 farmers of the West
and Northwest, and of 4,000 experts
of the department on the cost of
jniniying --wheat . Th e_av erage cost
per acre for the region covered isfl L-
69, while the average for Wisconsin
is more than a dollar higher, or $12,
93. Ground rent is the heaviest sin¬
gle item, and is estimated at nearly
$3 per acre. The principal items of
cost have remained about normal du¬
ring the past four or five years, being
slightly higher where any change is
noted, owing to the increase of cost
of labor during tlie prosperous times
from 1890 to 1893. During that pe¬
riod, however, the price or wheat fell
nearly one-half. As a result, either
wheat production must be restricted
or a large part of it must be done at
a loss.—[New Y'ork World.
RETROSPECTIVE.
lie sat for a long time wrapped in
thought.
“What is the matter?" asked his
wile; “is there trouble on youi
mind?”
“Not exactly," he answered, mop¬
ping the perspiration from his brow,
“not unless ye might look at it as a
kind o’ remorse."
“What was occupying your mind?’
“I was wondering whether I’m the
same man that kicked about having
to shovel snow last winter.”—[Wash¬
