which were very exhaustive aud com

Estimate of the Cotton Crop For 1900
and 1901.
Raleigh, N. 0., Aug. 30, 1900
Based upon the reliable information
from all sources from each of the cotton
states and territories, taking into con
sideration the condition of the cotton
crop, we are led to believe that the fol
lowing will be the output of the cotton
crop for the season of 1900 and 1901:
Alabama 821,000
Arkansas 809,000
Florida 30,000
Georgia 1,025,000
Indian Territory 210,000
Louisiana 603,000
Mississippi 843,000
Missouri 30,000
North Carolina 495,000
Jklahoma 100,000
South Carolina 801,000
Tennessee...' 285,000
Texas 3.300,000
Virginia 13,000
Other sources 500
Making a total of 9,365,500
This estimate, however, is subject to
the weather condition for the month of
September and also killing frosts later
on. This estimate is given out as being
the opinion of this association.
Adopted. O. B. Stevens,
President Association of Commissioners.
For fall grazing for pigs the Arkansas
station has found peanuts and chufas
superior to other plants in the amount of
pork produced per acre. The peanut is
the better of the two and makes a great
increase in soil fertility, while the chufa
does not.
The peach has crowded out the water
melon as a money maker for the Geor
gia farmer. The Elberta, the most lus
cious of the freestone peaches, has de
throned the Kolb Gem, the best of ship
ping melons.
At the Honolulu experiment station
two varieties of sugar cane sent there
from Louisiana, where they yielded
about five tonp to the acre, yielded the
one 17.2 tons to the acre and the other
it. 6.
TEXAS ANTI-TRUST CRUSADE-
Prosecutions to Be Instituted
Against Many Corporations.
Austin, Tex., Sept. 22.—Secre
tary of State D. H. Hardy will on
Mondav notify Attorney General
T. S. Smith of the foreign arjd do
mestic corporations doing business
in Texas which have failed to
make the required affidavit that
they are not a trust nor in any way
connected with a trust; and, also,
of the corporations that failed to
return the affidavit in the time
specified by the anti-trust law.
Immediately upon receipt of this
information. Attorney General
Smith will take steps to prosecute
the guilty corporations for viola
tion of the anti-trust law. Of the
2325 corporations doing business
in Texas, 225 failed to subscribe
to the trust affidavit. Six of these
are insurance companies, fifteen
are loan companies, and the re
maining are miscellaneous. The
affidavits of about 100 corporations
were received too late. Of this
number, twenty-seven are insur
ance companies.
There is no provision under the
law by which the corporations fail
ing to make the necessary affidavit
within the prescribed time can be
allowed to continue business in the
state. Thirty-three in-i.ruca
companies will, therefore, be
driven out of the state under the
operations of the new law.

Cured of Chronic Diarrhoea After
Thirty Years of Suffering.
“I stiff red for thirty years with
diarrhoea and thought I was past
being cured,” says John S, Hallo
way, of French Camp, Mias. ‘‘l
had spent so much time and money
and suffered so much that I had
given up all hopes of recovery. I
was so feeble from the effects of the
diarrhoea that I could do no kind
of labor, could not even travel, but
by accident I was permitted to find
a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and piarrhcea Remedy,
and after taking several bottles I
am entirely cured of that trouble.
I am'so pleased with the result that
I am anxious that it may be in
reach of all who suffer as 1 have.”

J. B. Pyron & Son.
CARTERSVILLE, GA.
The advancing price of cotton makes it wise to hold for the highest price which
wHI be reached. A lew days may mean several dollars per bale, and the short
crop makes it necessary to secure every cent which it will bring.
Our facilities for storing are unexcelled, and charges the lowest. You can hold
it until the market suits you and sell at any time.
Here is a quotation from our circular of last year:
“ We believe that cotton has reached its lowest point, and as a great part of the
cotton corned over is a very low grade, and reports of growing crop indicates a
smaller production than the crops ot 1867-Band 1898-9, together with llie unusually
large consumption throughout the world, we have just reason for anticipating a
rising market during the season.”
