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.

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.

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."
