About the middle of August the es
timate of the crop was 6,000,000
bales, but 5 oh September 27th the
estimate had been reduced to 2,500-
u000 bales. The cause; of the calamity
to Texas cotton growers j was| the
combined ravages of dry .weather,
bollweevils, boll worms and “sharp
shooters.” In all other cotton pro
ducing states the crop - has been cut
off dreadfully by unfavorable weath
er conditions. ;; ; .; ■ i ,j'siy

All over the state the belief pre
vails that the state fair at Macon
this year will present the best ag
gregate agricultural display over
seen in the south, That fair will
begin on October- 21st, and continue
ten days. Central City Park is a
fitting casket for the jewels it will
hold. The management of the fair
is in the hands of earnest and capa
ble men, and their work has beeu
well and faithfully done. While all
the departments will be tip-top, the
orpwning feature will be the mag
nificent agricultural showing, made
by the fourteen counties that will
contest for the munificent prizes of
fered for, county exhibits. Tfie fair
will oost ,oyer forty thousand dollars
in buildings, other preparations and
premiums, and the people by thous
ands are anxious to see the result.
The railroads have made efieap
round-trip passenger rates, and the
people of Maoo.n , promise cordial
hospitality, comfortable accomoda
tions and a tip-top fair. ? ;
■ It seems exceedingly strange that
the price of cotton has declined in
the face of Unfavorable crop imports,
Last year the, crop was inadequte to
cidrry thejmillB from onejseason to the
next, and the price advanced sharply
after the cotton passed' out of the
hands of the formers.. Now reports
say the crop of 1908 is much shorter
than that of 1902, yet the price has
declined materially. It seems that
the price of cotton is controlled by
the might of aggregated money
rather;than the,right of-.supply and
demand.,, j,The. optton growers don’t
.sea,m to,. be in it at all, except as
fqvnipjbiejrs of the raw materia).
