W. FERGUSON, AUCTIONEER. 7HE WEEK REVIEWED. By JOSEPH B. LIVELY. Estimates as to the yield of cotton for the season of 1907 0S arc being xtven to the public In n limited way. The government has given expert stntlBtlelati*' figure* on which to baae their calculations ns to the yield for the growing crop, but there la an apparent Inclination among certain of these expertn to await further Infor mation beforo making a guess at tho crop. The element whose estimates have so far failed to appear Is tho class that pretend to bellevo prices are above the real ■value of the staple. At present they have no argument to advance In favor of lower prices. The government's acreage and condition report, ns of May 25, can not be figured In tnolr favor. The trade situation Is bright: the spinners are selling all ths goods they can deliver at remunerative prices, and ure sold several mouths ahead. The consumptive demand will be ns groat, If not greater, for the yield of 1907-08 aa for the previous seaion, additional arguments decidedly opposed to any de cline In the price of the raw material. Ths vlalbfs supply Is rapidly disappearing: and, notwithstanding the fact that ths present crop shows a yield above 18,000,000 bales, spinners' stocks are low. Indi cating that the world’s requirement* of raw material have reached a point whore a 11,000,000-bale yield will fail to satisfy consumptive demands. Statisticians, so far as heard from, do not figure out u bumper yield from the figures furnished by the government. The best that can be done on that lino la a crop of 12,000,000 bales maximum, by C. II. Crlssmnn A Co., of Memphis. They say: ™Blnce our last correspondence with you condltlous have Improved very mate rially. but you must remember that without this Improvement the cron would have been a perfect disaster In thte part of the territory. Doubtless you and your friends are receiving extremely favorable reports regarding great progress of the crop— these facte are partly true, but on the whole they are not ns bearish as they seem for the simple reason that the crop Is very grassy and labor Is very scarco In cer tain portions of the cotton belt, and we know, under the most favorable condltolns, there can not be an average crop made, and would Judge under the most favorable conditions that a crop of lz.OOO.OuO bales would be thu maximum.” Messrs. Crutchfield A Co.. New York, In their circular letter of Juno 22, any: "The recent more favorable weather Is said to hnve enabled farmer* to put their fields, which htd become very foul during May. Into more fnrorablo condition and to have Improved the general appearance of the crop to some extent, but notwithstanding this, the general remarks of our correspondents would Indicate tint they are convinced of the Impossibility of a btg crop under any previously known condition from now on. An early frost, or a serious drought during July or August would certainly moan a calamity, white with perfect conditions from now on, and a late frost, we may hope for a very moderate yield per acre, sny, n possi ble crop of 11,000^000 bales maximum." It has been a wenther market the past week and early sold off to n new low record for this decline on favorable seasons for the crop, but In the latter part of the week the strength of the eummer position* caused an advance all along tuo line, the clots on Friday.

FUNERAL OF’ALFRED SPIER HELD AT LOCUST GROVE Special to The Georgian. Locust Grove, aa.. June 29.—The funeral of Alfred Spier, who died at Free Homes, Cherokee county, wo* held here yesterday afternoon. Rev. Weathers conducted the services, which were held in the Buptfst church, large number waa in attendance. No subject la of more paramount In terest among nil the reform Issues In Georgia today than that of the legisla tion to regulate the liquor traffic. In the light of the apparently crystal lized sentiment for total prohibition In Georgia, the views of Governor Hoke Smith on the liquor question are of great Interest now. In his inaugural address Saturday he said: "For a long time the state of Georgia has adhered to the policy of local op tion applied to the sale of liquor. All restrictive liquor laws arouse Intense feeling. As the enforcement of the laws depends largely upon the senti ment In the counties In which they are to be enforced, we have permitted the voters of each county to decide what should be the policy of their county. "While my sympathies In a local elec tion are with those who opposo the sale of liquor, for the present, local option may furnish the best plan for control ling the liquor traffic. "Hut after the people of a county vote liquor out It Is not fair to permit the dally Inpouring of liquors by Jug trains. "Our platform demands that the dry counties of Georgia be kept dry. I cor dially favor legislation to accomplish this result, and I bellevo it possible to restrain to a great extent the use of liquors shipped from outside the stnte. "I suggest also the propriety of mak ing the operation of a 'blind tiger’ a felony." Many Liquor Bills, With only three day* of the session passed, two total prohibition bills have been introduced In the house and one In the senate. Bill No. 1 in the senate, Introduced on the opening day, Is the Hardman measure, providing for total prohibition after Junuarny 1 next, without the referendum. In the house, total prohibition bills have been Introduced by Representa tive Furr, of Banks, nnd another by Messrs. Neel, of Bartow, nnd Coving ton, of Colquitt. In tho llood of bills In the house Fri day exactly ten measures seek to place restrictions around the sale, manufac ture nnd shipment of Intoxicating bev erages. Mr. Covington Is directly re sponsible for four of these. Besides his Joint measure with Mr. Neel, he has three other measures. One provides for the registration of recip ients of liquor In dry counties, with the clerk of the court, nnd the pasting of certificate of registration on the pack age beforo breaking the seal. The Jug Trade. Another measure of Mr. Covlngton’i prohibits railroads nnd express com pantes from carrying liquors into dry counties. Still another prohibit* the shipment of whisky Into dry counties. Mr. Odum, of Baker, ha* a measure to tlx the license for selling liquors in Ba ker county at $30,000 per annum. Representative Persons, of Monroe, also has a measure to prohibit the ship ment of intoxicants Into dry counties. Representative Mundy, of Polk, wants to fix the state license for selling whis ky at $1,000. Messrs. Warned and Burkhalter, of Tatnail, have an act pro viding for the distribution of revenues arising from the sale of Intoxicants. Representative Nowell, of Walton, has an net to make It Illegal to main tain a "blind tiger" or sell intoxicating liquors in dry counties. In all these measure* nothing has any direct bear ing on the question of local option. Now Acting Chief. Special to The Georgian.

COTTON SEED OIL MIXED IN BUTTED TO IM TROUBLE Uncle Sam Interferes with Money Making In dustry. Rancid butter worked over and but ter Adulterated with cotton-seed oil, will have to go or the people making and selling It must consult the United States revenue officers and pay the tax required for this sort of business. Unless either is done, wholesale In dictments may be sprung by the Fed eral grand Jury, which meets Monday. As the result of quiet Investigations by revenue officers nnd analyses made by experts of the agricultural depart ment In Washington, it has been dis covered by the district attorney’s office that the practice of working over ran cid butter and of mixing cotton-seed oil with cream In order to Increase the yield of "butter" is quite common. When this was discovered the deal ers from whom the samples of this class of "butter" were received were called upon for the tax. They were asked where they bought the stuff and the revenue officers found that these dealers bought many hundred pounds a week from people in the country. Rush of Butter Makers. As n result of the story published lp The Georgian some time ago, telling of the Indictment of one man for working over rancid butter and the probability of more Indictments, there has been a rush of butter makers to the office of United States District Attorney F. Car ter Tate and all of them disclaimed any intention of violating the Federal law. It was learned by officials of the district attorney’s office that the farm ers had been supplied with booklets telling them of the uses of cotton-seed oil In Increasing the yield of "butter,' but nothing was said about the gov ernment tnx required, nor of the fact that n manufacturer making this stuff without having paid the government tax Is guilty of an offense punishable by of not les* than $1,000 nor more than $5,000. It Is said that the booklets furnished the farmers told them that by mixing cotton-seed oil with cream, "butter" could be produced very much quicker and with less labor, and that the farm ers would get a yield of about 25 per cent more. Would 8top Violations. It Is not the Intention of the govern ment officials to punish people uninten tionally guilty. What they want Is to stop violation* of the law, not to pile up convictions. But they point out that If this practice continues without the proper license from the government In dictments will follow. It was found by the revenue officers that some people were making a prac tice of buying up rancid butter and re. working It with water after melting, so that it was Increased In quantity and made salable.
