Every year the estimates of the cotton crop create much discussion, while exercising considerable influ ence upon the price. Heretofore the estimates have been made by agents of the cotton ex changes, the buyers and the manu facturers, while the producers have been without any representation, unless the government reports could be so-called. These reports, howev er, were based upon the opinions of individvals in the several counties of the cotton growing states. Now the government, under a recent law, has appointed agents to gather informa tion from the ginners and make re ports to the census bureau. Latest reports are wide apart. Below we give a summary of these reports, as made by the Oolumbus Enquirer- Sun; “According to a report issued by the census bureau, a little more chan 60 per cent, of the present cotton crop had been ginned up to the 18 th of Ootober. The statistics were gathered by agents of the bureau, who visited 29,314 ginneries. These agents reported that up to the date mentioned $5,925,872 commercial bales had been ginned. “If this report is correct, that is, if 60 per cent of the crop has been ginned, the crop will not be as large as Mr. Buston and Mr. Neill estima ted that it will be, but will come much nearer to the figures given out by Theodore H. Price. Mr. Buston, the Liverpool statistician, places the minimum estimate at 11,200,000 baleSf while Mr. Neill’s figures for the minimum yield are 11,400,000, or 200,000 more than JUr. Buston’s estimate. Mr. Price’s estimate is 9,600,000, whioh, he says, will be the maximum yield. “If the 5,925,872 bales ginned as reported by the oensus bureau rep resent 60 per cent of the crop, there remains only 40 per cent to be ginn ed, or about 3,940,460 bales. This would give a total crop of only 9,- 866,332 bales, a little more than 200,000 bales above the estimV made by Mr. Price.” Democracy didn't gain any states i x the federal elections on Tuesday of last week, but the republican ma- j > *;ty in the next congress will bo ufc 20 less than it is now. In K v York the republican plurality foy governor was about 95,000 less ihiu in 1901. v -- : •' In Hancock county the terms of & i the rural public schools will be extended. By the efforts of the *• mnty school commissioner citizens! < f the county were induced to sub-1 : $1,800 aud thereby a like < .. .unt was secured, from the gen- - education board. The land upon which the new passenger depot in Atlanta is to be located is owned jointly by the Southern and the Central of Geor gia, and it is proposed that all the railroad companies to use the depot form a terminal company to build nnd control a union passenger sta tion. Gov. Terrell’s first inesaacr" ' the legislature was presented I Saturday. It contains no high- sounding phrases, but expresses his opinions in plain language. He says the state tax rate should be limited by law to 5 mills, that corporation franchises Bhould bo taxed, that provision should be made for the prompt payment of public school teachers, and that provision should bo made whereby district taxation oould be self-imposed for the benefit of the public schools. He favors the exemption of college endowments from taxation; sayB an agricuRural college should be established in each congressional distl’iot, and de clares that records of the .revolu tionary and civil wars should be compiled and preserved. -*•*- O-<•*“ • On Wednesday of last week the Georgia legislature re-elected Sena tor Alexander Stephens Olay to the United States senate from Georgia. He deserves the honor conferred, es pecially as he had been selected by the people in the June primary to succeed himself. Georgia’s plan of voting for the senator in the demo cratic primary is equivalent to elect ing by direct vote of the people. All other Btates can do likewise, and thus accomplish that which congress has declined to grant—the election of U. S. senators by xote of the peo ple. —1.: A dill to establish a court of ap peals, with five judges, has been in troduced in the Georgia legislature. It is proposed that this court shall have jurisdiction over certain cases now within the jurisdiction of the supreme court, aud that it will serve as a relief to the higher court. The argument in its favor is plausable, but it does not appear that auy re lief to the people, now heavily tax ed, will be induced. Wo d6 nofc need any more officials, nor any more salaries to be paid. Editor Rainey of Dawson is be coming a legislator right. Of the three bills he has introduced, one provides for the reduction of a may- oc’d salary and one provides for a ptrfc of the dispensary profits at Bronwood to be used to pay teach er* and build a school house. In Memory of Mrs. A. F. Smith. God giveth and He taketh away, blessed be the name of the Lord. The All-wise Master saw fit to take our dear Mrs. Eugenia Smith from our midst Sunday, Nov. 2nd, at 2 p. m. She seemed in perfect health in the morning when she, in her wonted goodness and love for the gospel, persuaded her husband and niece to attend services at Pleasant Hill. After arranging din ner and other household tluties, she sat by the fire place conversing with a friend who had chanced to come in, when the neighbor stepped to the door looking for the return of Mr. Smith and niece, she heard a noise, and on examination she was confronted with the prostrate form of our departed loved one. Our Father who reigns above makeB no mistakes, though it seems hard for us to give her up, yet we know He hath need for her, so He called her up to sit at His right hand, with the greetiug, “Well done, thou good and faithful ser vant, enter thou into the joys of thy Lord.” She deemed it always her special duty and privilege to help the poor, needy and afflicted. She was the good Sarmaritan in every case. Oar ing for and sympathizing with the afflicted was a peculiar pleasure. This precious woman leaves a de voted husband, two daughters and four sons, together with a host of relatives aud friends, to mourn her death. Her debt is paid; no more death, no more sickness, no more pain, no sorrow, for sweet “Mrs. Genie” is basking in Heavenly sunshine gent ly falling on the city, whose streets are of gold and whose gates are of pearl. Husband and children, remember, “Thy will be done,"and try to count yet your many blessings. Her ex emplary life is a benediction to you. This is but a stronger tie between you and the loving Saviour. She now beckons you; be ready, for no no knoweth when the Son of Man • imth. Let us hope to meet her in® Holy City. One Who Loved Her.
