COTTON LETTER
Athens, Ga., December 19.
The cotton market today was duil
during the morning at unchanged
prices, but after the noon hour declin
ed about twenty points, influenced by
the report that the ginners' figures to
morrow would be about 9,300,000. Prompt.
-Why the figures quoted should have a December
bearish effect upon the marketJs not January,
quite plain. I-ast year the amount February,
ginned to December 12th was 11.-
112.000. and the year previous 9,-
282.000. The latter year produced on
ly It,233.817 and about 400.000 or that
figuie was cotton carried over from
the former year. The market is so
entirely in the hands of Wall street
speculators just at present that it Is,
impossible to forecast what effect the
ginners' report will have tomorrow.

Census Statistics Showing Effect of

From the Washington Herald.
Statistics compiled by the United
States census office, showing, in ef,
feet, the results of prohibition and
license on communities, in so far as
number of arrests-for drunkenness
is concerned, give interesting, food
for thought to the contesting forces
in this city"—the prohibitionists and
the advocates'of license.
One or the significant facts shown in
this official report seems to he that,
the number of arrests for drunken
ness increases with the decrease of
the number of saloons, and that there
the nicst drunkenness where, in'
proport ion to population, the number
of licensed saloons is smallest, or

Being asked to state the cause of the
fact that arrests for drunkenness in

census office said;
“For this phenomenon we have qo

they are to bp found. In the first
place, in the absence of conveniently

to encourage home tippling

"2. The abundance of secret drink
