('(i ’I TON .5 7 A 1I STIES.
The quantity of cotton (finneil from
the crop of 1913, counting round and
half bales, and excluding linters, was
111,9R2.HU running bales, according to
a report issued by the Census Bureau
on Saturday last. With the exception
of that of 1911, t htn is the largest cot
ton crop the United States has ever
produced. Expressed in gross fiOO
pound hales, the crop amounted to 14,-
156,186 hales, being I,tint;,215 bales, (or
9.8 percent.) less Ilian that, of 1911, but
< receding that of 1918 by 453,066 bales,
or It.3 per cent.. that of 1909, the small
est in recent years, by 4,151,537 bales,
or II..3 per cent.; and that of 1901, the
fourth largest crop by 718,171 bales, or
5.3 per cent.
The amount of cotton seed produc
ed, in tons, in 1913, was (>,.'105,000, with
an estimated value of $150,000,000. Of
this quantity, 4,707,802 tons were
crushed. The corresponding amounts
for 1912 were (1,104,000 tons produced
and 4,579,508 tons crushed; and for 1911
(1,997,000 tons produced and 4,921,073
tons crushed.
As compiled from various sources,
the world’s productionof cotton in 1913,
exclusive of linters, measured by the
factory supply that is, the quantity
entering commercial channels was 22,-
225,000 bales of 500 pounds net. This
compares with 20,975,000 bales in 1912,
21,269,000 bales in 1911, and 10,241,000
bales in 1909.
Of the total world production of com
mercial cotton in 1913 the United States
contributed 60.9 per cent.; India, 17.1
percent,; Egypt. 6.(1 per cent.; China,
5.4 per cent.; and ItusHia, 4.5 per cent.
Some idea of the importance of cotton
production in the United States, from
Hn economic standpoint, may lie had
when it is considered that, next, to corn,
cotton iH the most valuable crop grown
in the country, and that cotton is the
largest single item of export. The
value of the cotton crop of 1909 repre
sented 15 pur cent, of the total value
of all tin 1 crops of the country. The
value of cotton exported during the fis
cal year 1913 amounted to $547,357,195,
or 22.5 per cent, of the total value of
all articles of domestic merchandise ex
ported during the year.
KX-GOV. UliOWN WILE OPPOSE
SMITH FOE I . S. SENA TE.
The rumor that has been floating
around for several weeks past that ex-
(lov. Jos. M. Brown would oppose lion.
Hoke Smith for the U. S. Senate has
lieen verified by a definite announce
ment from "Little Joe" (hat he in
tends to do that very thing. His an
nouncement, which appeared in the
State papers Wednesday morning, is as
follows:
"To the I’oople of Georgia: In re
sponse to the call of thousands of white
voters, 1 hereby announce myself a
candidate for the cilice of United States
Senator, for the term beginning March
4, 1915. 1 will be very grateful for the
support of all who have confidence in
my litnesB for the position and my fidel
ity to the trust thus delegated. Will
announce platform later, and will open
campaign headquarters by or shortly
after J uly 15.
“In the meantime I earnestly request
my friends in every county to organize,
and be prepared to use all proper en
deavors to win success at the polls on
the day of the primary.
"Your fellow-citizen.
“Joseph M. Brown.
"Marietta, Ga., July 1, 1914."
To-day promises to he an interesting
one, politically. The State Executive
Committee is called to meet, for two
purposes- one of which will undoubtedly
be carried out, while the other is in
serious question. So far as the resig
nation of Chairman W. .1. Harris is
concerned, (hat will he ottered and ac
cepted, Mr. Harris, having become a
candidate for Governor, proposes to
carry out his announced intention of
resigning. As to the second primary
proposal ottered by Mr. Harris, how
ever, there is considerable doubt.
The general opinion seems to prevail
that this committee will not indorse his
views on the subject. Mr. Harris ex
presses the fear that Thus. E. Watson,
whom lie denominates “the arch en
emy of nomocracy,” may get control
in some twenty-five counties, and thus
deadlock the convention. To prevent
this. Mr. Harris is proposing that if
none of the four candidates for Gover
nor or the five candidates for Uni
ted States Senator get a majority
in the convention on the first ballot,
the two candidates receiving the high
est vote shall run the race over in a
second primary.
Only fifty State banks and trust com-
panies have qualified for membership
in Federal reserve hanks, as against
7,500 national banks. This small num-
t>er i>f State institutions in the new
Federal banking plan is due chiellv to
State laws forbidding State banks to ac
quire stock in corporations. There are
only twenty States in which Treasury
Department officials are absolutely cer
tain it is possible for State hanking in
stitutions to become members of the
new Federal reserve hanks, without
some modification of (lie laws. These
States are; Vermont, New York, New
Jersey, Delaware, Maryland. Virginia,
West Virginia. Kentucky, Tennessee,
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi, Arkansas, Texas,
Arizona, California and Oregon. No
effort has been made by the reserve
hank organization committee to induce
State organizations to participate in the
Federal system, as national banks over
subscribed the stock of the reserve
banks by several million dollars.
W. J. Speer Proud of Record.
Atlanta Constitution.
The papers of the State from tioie to
time are referring in kindly terms to
the war and civil record of W. J.
Speer, candidate for re-election bh
Slate Treasurer. The following is
from the ItosHviile New Age:
"Hon. W. J. Speer, candidate for
State Treasurer, enjoys looking back
upon n clean, spotless and uncriticized
20-year record in public office, which to
us is the strongest, most forceful argu
ment that can be brought to bear touch
ing his competency and his worthiness.
We are as willing for him to serve us
now as we were when ho, as a Con
federate soldier, took up his gun. went
to the front, and hared his breast to the
enemy in defense of our property and
our homes.”
And it is ever so that loyal and true
Georgians can be counted on to honor
the old heroes of the Lost Cause for
places of public trust in their State,
n this instance the 20-year record of
accurate and paintaking service in the
State Treasury has endeared the as
pirant to the people of the State, and
with hie record of true service, both in
times of war ami in peace, we have in
Mr. Speer a candidate who is sure to
he overwhelmingly re-elected in the
State primary.

Commissioner of Agriculture Price
Has Many Invitations to Speak.
Atlnnta Constitution.
Commissioner of Agriculture James
I). Price is greutly in demand as a
speaker at the farmers’ meetings this
summer and has quite a number of
speaking dates for the next few weeks,
lie finds, however, that he will not be
able to make a systematic campaign of
the State, because he holds that his first
duty is to the office he holds.
"I feel that the people of the State
will hold me in higher regard if 1 stick
here on the job to which they elected
me than if I neglected it to go out vote
hunting. They elected me to serve as
Commissioner of Agriculture, and the
best hid u man can make for re-election
is to deserve the voles of his friends
and supporters. ”
Mr. Price will he pres nt at a far
mers’ meeting in Carrollton July I, and
on the same day will speak at Talla
poosa. On July 19 he goes to Sylvester;
he will he in Commerce July 14; at
Col |uitt July 16; at Woodland July 17,
and in White county July 20.
BEAUTIFUL HAIR-NO
CLEAN, COOL SCALP
Use Parisian Sage. It makes the
Hair Fluffy and Abundant
It is needless for you to have hair
that is anything short of perfect. If it
is falling out, losing color, splitting, or
if the scalp burns and itches, immediate
ly get from Jonn R. Cates Drug Co. or
any drug counter a 50 cent bottle of
Parisian Sage—use it frequently—the
first application removes dandruff, in
vigorates the scalp, and beautifies the
hair until it is gloriously radiant.
Parisian Sage supplies hair need—
perfectly harmless. It contains the ex
act elements required to make the hair
soft, wavy, glossy and to make it grow
thick and beautiful.
You will surely like Parisian Sage. It
is one of the best and most delightful
hair tonics known.
The dead can’t smell the flowers you
bring, nor hear the praise, you sing.
The dead can’t see the tears you shed,
nor feel your sorrowing. So give the
live ones words of praise; don’t wait
until it is too late; a kind word bright
ens gloomy days and tits a man to cope
with fate. A boost is cheap; so let us
tiy to keep our good deeds piling up
and if a poor guy has to die, let’s see
that he dies smiling.
"Your honor, I’ve been married to
both these men, and they both beat me
with equal cruelty.”
"Come to think of it. ” said the Judge,
"there is a striking resemblance be
tween them."
