NEW YORK, April 27.—Based on 2‘
p. m. guotations in Liverpool, the local
cotton market was due to open 2 to 6
points higher.
- * -
There were local raing yesterday in
the Gulf States with balance of bait
generally cloudy. Fair weather is in
dicated for all cotton States today and
Lomorrow, '
* - -
Journal of Commerce reports, »n acre
age increage in Texas ranging from & to
25 per cent, probably 15 to 25 per cent
in Oklahoma; 5 to 4“0 Qer cent in Ala
bama; 10 per cent in Missisippi and a|
substantial increase in Missourl, The
report adds: ‘““The cold, wet spring has |
retarded planting. Season two to three
weeks late. Large decrease in use of
fertilizers is indicative in sections where
used. Ground well pr:pared."
- L 4
We look for a scalping market within
a range of 20 to 30 points and would sell
on any bulge,'’ says E.J‘.'Hutton & Co.
3 - -
Vieksburg, Miss., wires E. F. Hutton
& Co.: “There will be a heavy increase
of acreage of cotton throughout this
section, Twelve-cent cotton and $45 for
seed, together with the possibility of an
early ending of the war, are inkuencing
planters to raise all they can after the
short crop of last season. Weather con
ditions are good and everybody is busy
preparing for the new crop.”’ S
- - *
Cotton and Cotton Ofl News says that
the holl weevils were so bad in west
Texas last season that cotton planters
are discouraged and are turning to pea
nut culture,
- . -
Aberdeen, Miss.—“The farmers of
Monroe County have about finished
planting their cotton. Weather has been
Ideal the past two weeks and with a
warm shower toda‘v, the plant will be
gin to grow r:}nd y. Acreage s in
creased materially. " A number of plant
ers have more than doubled last sea
son’'s planting. In one instance, where
400 acres were planted last year, the
same parties are planting %00 acres thlll
season, .
». ¥ A
The Times-Picayune says: “The
weather advices proved the dominating
factor in the market yesterday. While
the weather has peen favorable for
tarmwork it has recently been too cold
for the prolpcr germination of u:.’ seed
for the healthy growth of cotton ready
up. Low temperatures are complained
o’) from many portions of the cotton
belt. The average minimum teu‘lrru
ture for the belt Tuesday was de-
Brees, as compared with 59 for the cor
responding date last vear and 62 in 1314,
The forecast yuterdvcy was for colder
'weau;&r for the belt Tenerdly and frost
| for t more northerly districts. Rain
|ls predicted for the section east of the
Missisippi River, which would ba favor
able for the South Atlantic States, as
rain 18 needed there. Southwest Texas
also claims to need more rain, for the
want of which cotton is not yet up in
that section,
‘The Government's weekly weather
and crop summary was more favorable
than expected. It reported that plant
ing was nearly completed in thq' south
ern portion of the be!t and was p ORTess
Ing satisfactorfly in the central and
northern districts. The planted cotton

well. Detailed weather report br States
does not fully bear out ths offic al sum-
Mary, as me“n. Is said to be back
ward in Oklahoma, and it is too dry in
| the South Atlantics.
| "The cold weather and other retarding
‘mndmnm brings up the question of re.
pl.nunfé to,uher with the scarcity and
| high price of seed. To escape replanting
farmers will no doubt delnh seeding

John Inglils sent the following from
Wellington, Kans.: *“Chickasha to An
darka and north to Geary, conditions are!
the same as previously reported. Thel
average is better north from Geary than
to the State line. There is ample moist.
ure for the present, but no surface wa
ter. Btreams are low. Farm reserves
are large both of corn and wheat. It
will require frequent showers for wheat
to maintain its present condition.”

A report issued by the Atchison, To
peka and Santa Fe Railway Company
covering the past week says: “Tem
peratures in Kansas, Oklahoma and Col
orado were slightly below normal. Pre
cipitation was from 1 to 1% inches. Con
ditions were favorable for growing
wheat. No damage from fly was re
ported. In Oklahoma corn is 75 per cent
planted. In the territory of Amarillo,
Texas, the condition of wheat 18 75 per
cent, compared with a year :(fo. This
‘la offset somewhat by increas acreage
and higher test.”

George M. LeCount, in a letter to

Bouth Daketa. any farmers have not

cent of the plowing has been done, and
little of the land that has been plowed
is seeded. In an average spring wheat
and oats generally shohld be up by this.
He says that much wheat will be
stubbed. Many farmers are be%lnnlng
to reallze thut they can not get all their
land seeded in time. The acreage will
I be greatly reduced.

Is 26 Years Not Long Enough for One
Man to Hold a Lucrative County Office?
PR T ) A CARD FROM
. - 8 B
W & HenryM.Wood
~ : As is generally known, I have offered for
; i ' the office of Tax Receiver of Fulton County,
' ‘ { and have associated with me Paul 8. Pause
AT . 4 and W. Tom Winn. * -
- % We have endeavored to conduct this cam
g, " £.| Dpaign on a high plane, free from any bitter-
Yo g | ness or criticism whatsoever.
) . But as the present incumbent has appeared
g Bl recently in the daily press and based his claim
‘ for re-election on his proficiency, I think it
: i‘ i 4 but proper for me to state that in case lam
v elected you will be equally well served as
i in the past. My uniform courtesy and ability
is a guarantee as to the manner in Which the office will be conducted.
‘l'ie present incumbent has held this office for the past 26 years, and,
in fact, Mr. W. H. Abbott, who opposed him two years ago, used the argu
ment that 24 years ought to satisfy Mr. Armistead. Mr. Abbott himself has
held a clerkship in the office of the Clerk of the Superior Court for the past
12 or 16 years. The following appeared on the campaign literature of Mr.
Abbott two years ago: ’
“MR. T. M. ARMISTEAD, PRESENT ENCUMBENT, HAS
HELD OFFICE FOR 24 YEARS - SHOULD HE NOT BE SAT.
ISFIED?” .
Strm{r‘to say, Mr. Abbott is now on the ticket of Mr. Armistead and
begging friends to again elect Mr. Armistead, thus giving him 30 years
in office. Two years ago he thought 24 years was enough for Mr. Kmr
stead, and now he wants to make it 30 years. .
During the past several years Mr. Armistead has constantly had two
of his sons in office with him, thereby preventing other worthy young men
from getting jobs which rightfully belong to them. For some reason the
names of Mr. Armistead’s sons have not appeared on his campaign cards.
We most respectfully submit, in all fairness and sincerity, that some one
else should have a chance at these publie offices, and that no one man and
his family should, sit astride these ogportunities for the promotion which
should be equally distributed among the people.
I respectfully ask your support, and promise if elected that you will not
suffer for lack of efficiency and courtesy. ‘

Why am I offering for County Commissioner? I’ll tell
you! It's
(1) For the last ten years I have been boosting for GOOD
ROADS—and, as a County Commissioner, I would be in a
position to do a great deal for the advancement of GOOD
ROADS for Fulton County.
(2) 1 want the youngsters of Fulton County to have the
very finest opportunities for a thorough education—and, as
a County Cominissioner, I would be able to help promote
better schools and a University High School.
(3) Many streets of Atlanta and suburbs and the four main
highways leading into Atlanta need fixing, and need it ur
gently. A 8 a County Commissioner, I could and would in
sist that they be FIXED!
(4) While it is true that conviets have wronged, it is also
wrong to treat them in an inhumane manner. Two wrongs
do not make one right! As a County Commissioner I would
see to it that the conviets are humanely treated, properly
housed and substantially fed! I believe that JUSTICE
should be tempered with MERCY !
a) I was born and reared in Fulton County—and I want to
do everything in my power that’s going to help make this
fine county even better and greater than ever before ! You'll
