The importance of the American
oottoa manufacturing industry Is
Sowing from year to year, but it will
he many long years before the cotton
Bruners can depend upon the do-
totstic demand to handle their crop.
’’Vsraty-five years ago when the Am
erican cotton crop was 3,000,000 bales,
aixty-five per cent, of the product
was exported. Now that the crop

baft's, the percentage exported is
atfli about sixty per cent
The domestic coton mills have in
creased wonderfully, but so has the
ftroiuction of cotton. It has been
«8tl mated that the present cotton
aop will bring 1900,000,000 to the
Blasters of the Southern States, and
the great part of this will come from
the other side of the Atlantic.
These facts, as is pointed out by
’ Wt&X.rick J. Haskins, at the American
cotton convention, show how Impor
tant .the export cotton business is to

ho- to inaugurate an organization
which will bring the two parties to

In Americus "the lid" is on for the
season. This refers not to local en
forcement. which is always on, but
rather to the fall hat, which has sup
planted the well worn straw and
limp and dirty Panama. For the
sake of peace and to prevent ruptures
between friends, a number of straw
hats have been superseded during the
last few days the demand, "When
are you going to shed that hat?" be
ing particularly irritating at this time
of the year. The straw "season" ex
ists for servants for several weeks
yet and the hat that until the last
week adorned the head of the mas
ter has descended to the man.
