A real estate deal of considerable

been twenty-six thousand dollars;
quite a snug sum.
The property, consisting of 1760
acres farming and timber land some
eighteen miles south of Amerlcus,

is the place upon which she now re
sides. The sale, it Is said, Included
livestock and farm utensils
Mr. Wooten, it is understood, will
take possession in December.
The plantation is one of the finest
cotton farms in southwestern Geor-
gia, and Mr. Wooten will operate it
ttuly another year. Upon the place
Is a track of 800 acres virgin pine
timber, a fact which greatly en-
chances its value.

NEW YORK. Sept. 6.—A well or
ganized scheme for smuggling lace
and women's dress materials came to
grief yesterday when customs officials
ordered the at rest of W. T. Hardy
and Burton Baldwin, cabin passengers
aboard the steamer Kranprlnz Wil
helm. an hour after the arrival of
the vessel.
The search of Hardy's baggage re
sulted in the discovery of several
thousands of dollars' worth of lace,
which was pinned inside shirts, pa
jama suits, sleeves of coats and legs
of trousers In the trunks and In the
pockets of a huge traveling coat,
which Hardy carried on his arm.
When customs Inspector Camp
bell looked Into the side of the first
shirt and saw It was fall of lace, Har
dy said coolly: "Never mind taking
out the others; they are all alike."
Yard after yard of costly lace was ta
ken out and piled upon the pier.
Only a small quantity of lace was
found In Baldwin's trunk, and that,
he said, had been put there by Hardy.
Incidentally Hardy and bis ship-mate
were also overhauled. Wound around
the body of Hardy was thirty yards
of hand-made lace, valued at about
$25 a yard. He accepted the expo
sure with smiles.
The customs officials think they
have uncovered a syndicate of smug-
"It Is a safe prediction that the
new cotton crop will be 1,000,000 bales
lets than last season.” This state
ment was made by Mr. M. D. Burn
ley. traveling representative of Gilbert
A Clay, of New Orleans, on the floor
of the Savannah Cotton Exchange yes
terday. Mr. Burnley Is on an ex
tensive trip through the belt
He has not yet completed bis study
of conditions in Georgia and Caro
lina.
"In Texas I found the crop at least
million bales short of the last
season’s production.” said Mr. Barn-
ley. “In the central, west and south
western sections of the state, cotton
Is still deteriotlng on account of the
unprecedentedly hot weather which
has prevailed for many weeks.
'In North Texas, where the crop Is
better, an early frost would cut down
my estimate three or four hundred
thousand more bales.
Arkansas Worst In Yean.
"The crop in Western Arkansas is
the worst In years and cannot possi
bly be more than two-thirds as large
as last year. In the lowlands there
Is some fairly good cotton, but in
tho hills there is poor fruitage and
shedding. A conservative estimate of
the shrinkage over last season would
be 200,000 bales.
“Boll weevil has wrought much
havoc In North Louisiana, and this;
combined with abandoned acreage and
defective stands, will cut off a hund
red thousand bales for that section
of the state. From Monro to Vicks
burg conditions are a little better, but
are below those which prevailed at
the same period last season.
It Is safe to say that the whole
(tate will show a loaa of 200,000 bales.
"Taken as a whole I therefore reach
the conclusion that the territory west
of the river will be short of the yield
of last season by 1,500,000 bales.
Alabama 200,000 Short
The crop In Alabama in my opin
ion, will fall below that for last sea
son by 200,000 bales. The deterioration
for the past ten days has been very
severe. Hot weather caused unus
ually heavy shedding and premature
opening. The crop is also about two
weeks late. I have not yet complet
ed my conclusions as to Georgia and
the Carollnas.
’So far as I can see the coming
crop will be at least a million bales
short of last year's yield, hence I can
see no good reason why the crop
should not sell on basis of 14 cents
or higher for middling.
“The spinner has sold ahead for
nearly a year at such prices that he
can afford to pay JS cento for his
cotton and still make a handsome
profit The country was scoured for
good trades at the close of the season
on a bails of 14 and 15 cento.
"With the constantly Increasing con
sumption of the crop of a million
bales less should be In as great de
mand.

disputed assessment of the Central
of Georgia railroad. Judge Miller, of
Macon, today handed In his decision,
placing the total valuation on the Cen
tral's properties subject to taxation

the assessment, to $29,000,000, an in
crease of $13,000,000, or about eighty
per cent
The Central resisted this and ap
pealed to arbitration, as provided by

creased the company's original re
turn by $4,800,081, but Is practically
$6,200,000 below the Comptroller Gen
