Georgia’s 1908 Cotton Crop.
According to a bulletin of the cen
sus bureau in cotton production in
the United States Georgia ranked
second in the cotton producing states
during the years 1904’08, Tex
as holding the first place during the
same years. Georgia’s production of
upland cotton for the period year
named, including linters, was: 1904.
1,992,757; 1905, 1,759,083; 1906, 1,-
667,866; 1907, 1.901,576; 1908, 2,026,-
999. It is interesting to note that
the production for Georgia represent
ed practically the same proportion
of crop for the country in 1908 as in
1869; the proportions were 14.6 per
cent, in 1908 and 15.5 in 1869, al
though the crop increased from 2,-
409,597 bales in 1869 to 13,387,306 in
1908.
The aggregate value of the crop
was 1101,867,974; the value of the
upland crops was $83,618,155, and
the sea island $3,166,986; the value
of the 866,828 tons of cottonseed
was $15,082,807.
There were in Georgia during the
year under' consideration 4,950 gins
—4,475 active and 475 idle, the av
erage number of bales ginned by each
establishment was 442, the highest in
five years. Georgia with 16.2 per
cent of th<‘ total active ginning es
tablishments in the country ginned
14.6 per cent of the total crop produc
tionz
Os the 32,444,000 acres devoted to
cotton culture Georgia had 4,848,000
acres, fn 1879, with 2,614,138 acres,
she produced 814,441 bales.
In 1860 Georgia used 13,907,904
pounds of cotton in her mills, there
being 85,186 spindles and 2,041
looms, leading all the other southern
states except Virginia, which was
credited with 119 more looms. In
1880 Georgia consumed 33,757,199
pounds of cotton on 198,656 spindles
and 4,493 looms, leading all the
southern states. In 1900 she used
145.833,155 pounds of cotton on
815,545 spindles and 19,398 looms,
South and North Carolina now lead
ing. In 1908 Georgia consumed
225,704,625 pounds of cotton on 1,-
760,500 spindles and 36,355 looms,
the Carolinas still leading.
In 1890 Georgia had 17 cottonseed
establishments whose products were
valued at $1,670,196; in 1900 she
had 43 establishments with a prod
uct worth $8,064,112; and in 1905
she had 112 establishments produc
ing a value of $13,539,899.
More Than Predicted.
A well known magazine writer who
was recently gathering material in
the "dry" district of the South for
an article on the actual effects of pro
hlbltion, called one day to interview
Mr. Calhoun, a leading citizen of Hail
vllle.
“Mr. Calhoun," be asked, ‘“do you
think prohibition has done all its ad
vocates predicted?”
Mr. Calhoun puffed at his pipe re
flectively. “It certainly has.” he re
plied. "We have no Intoxication now’
our Jail needs no door; every man,
woman and child has enough to eat;
yes, sir. the movemnet has done ev
ery bit as much as pridicted, but the
trouble is" —here Mr. Calhoun again
puffed reflectively—"the trouble is,
it has done a blamed sight more."
"Done more?" said the inquiring jour
nalist.
"Yes. sir." resumed Mr. Calhoun.
"You see, before we had prohibition
here no automobile ever went through
town without slowing up to stop at
the tavern barroom. Now when there
ain't any tavern bar-room to stop at.
those gasoline rip-snort wagons shoot
by like the very jimminy cricket, and
some days, sir the doctors are just
plumb played out attending to our
run-down citizens." —Womans' Home
Companion.
The Missouri senate recently pass
es- a “pure shoe" bill. The law re
quires that all shoes which contain
a substitute for leather shall be so
branded on the sole. Manufacturers
who violate the law are barred from
collecting the value of the sales, and
may be fined in any sum from $lO
to SSOO.
John D. Rockefeller has announced
another donation of $10,000,000 to
his "general education board." It is
also stated that this brings Mr. Rock
efeller's contributions to that board
up to $52,000,000.

THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, JULY 22, 1909.
HEAVY INCREASE
IN MOONSHINING.
Startling increases in the making
of moonshine whiskey are shown in
the annual report of Revenue Agent
James H. Surber, which has Just been
forwarded to Washington.
During the fiscal year of 1909, Just
closed, more illicit distilleries were
destroyed in the states of Mr. Sur
ber’s division —Georgia, Alabama.
Florida and part of Mississippi—last
year.
In the year just closed the revenue
men under Mr. Surber raided and
destroyed 872 distilleries in the divis
ion, distributed as follows: Georgia,
616; Alabama, 231; Florida, 24, and
Mississippi 1.
Only 420 stills were destroyed in
the entire division in 1907 and in
1908 only 470.
The report also shows that during
the year $60,000 worth of property
has been destroyed, several hundred
gallons of whiskey thrown away and
several hundred more seized and sold
at public auction.
As a result of the year’s work Mr.
Surber has reccommended over 400
persons to the department of jus
tice for prosecution. The great in
crease in the violation of the Fed
eral laws concerning the manufact
ure of whiskey is attributed by Mr.
Surber to the high prices received
for illicit liquor since prohibition
went into effect. Where makers of
tliis brand formerly received one dol
lar a gallon, they are now getting
one dollar a quart for their product.
Keeping Out of Debt.
One reason so many folks find the
road of life uncomfortable is the fact
that they’re walking barefooted over
broken promises.
There’s nothing so heavy to carry,
so disheartening, so weakening, so
nerve-racking as debt.
If it stopped with the flattering of
the pocketbook, it would be bad
enough: but it only begins there.
It weighs on the mind. It places the
victim to a disadvantage in work and
play. It compromises manhood and
womanhood, and eat,s away at char
acter like a canker worm.
The best and biggest vow a young
man can make is to keep out of debt.
There may come times when he
cannot keep this vow and fulfill his
duty to his own. Such times are not
of frequent occurence, however, but
when they do come, the debtless man
will find it easier to get credit than
it would be if he had already exhaust
ed his credit.
To keep out of debt means self-re
spect and self-reliance, it means
health and happiness and freedom
from that worst of foes, worry.—Ex.
The bulletin of the interstate com
merce commission giving the list of
railroad casualties for January, Feb
ruary and March shows the number
of killed —passengers and trainmen —
considerably less than for the last
quarter of 1908, the exact figures 663,
against 798 the last three months of
the last year. The number of passen
gers killed during the first quarter
of 1909 was sixty-nine, only twenty
eight of whom were killed in train ac
cidents, twenty-eight of the balance
having lost their lives by falling from
cars and thirteen to other causes not
given. The total number of injuries
was 2,618 including passengers and
employes.
Prevent a friend from doing you
good, impress him with the idea
that he is of no use to you, and his
affection will cool. But ask a man
for little services he is ready to ren
der, let him know and keep in his
mind that lie has conferred a bene
fit upon you. and he will like you all
the more for it, become interested in
your welfare, and feel real devotion
for you. I have never known this
experiment to fail. —Selected.
The color line is so rigidly drawn
in New Castle. Del., that a white
dentist who relieved a negro of tooth
ache is being boycotted. The morn
ing after he had pulled the jumping
and throbbing tooth for the negro,
the dentist found his sidewalk paint
ed in brilliant and permanent colors,
bearing the legend: "Negroes and
whites treated alike." and with a
hand pointing to his door. The
paint couldn’t be scrubbed off, so
the whole sidewalk had to be torn
up. Negrophobia seems to be really
more deep-seated in Delaware than
about any other part of the country.

NATION’S LARGEST YIELD
OF GRAIN INDICATED
The greatest crop of cereals ever
raised in the United States is grow
ing to maturity, according to indica
tions in the July report of the depart
ment of agriculture. A gain of 722,-
000,000 bushels in all grains over the
totals of 1908 is promised and the
record yield of 1906 will be exceeded.
Corn for the first time passed the
3,000,000,000 mark, and oats are put
at more than 1,000,000,000 bushels.
The values of these great farm pro
ducts, on the basis of probable prices
will approach $2,750,000,000. De
cember corn closed on the board of
trade recently at 56 cents. Figuring
the crop as worth 50 cents to the ,
farmer, wheat at 90, oats at 40, rye
at 70, and barley at 50, these totals
are obtained.
Corn $1,558,000,000 |
Wheat 623,000,000
Oats 412,000,000
Barley 95,000,000
Rye 21,000,000
Total $2,709,000,000
The report of the department of
agriculture does not indicate that
there will be a serious shortage of
breadstuffs in the country this year,
although the figures to date show
a considerable loss in winter wheat
as compared with a year ago, the es
timated loss in round numbers be
ing 41,000,000 bushels.
To a considerable extent this is
offset by a larger acreage and a
greater yield of spring wheat which
brings the total indicated crop of
wheat up to 693,000,000 bushels
as compared with 664,000,000 bushels
at the same time in 1908. Some im
portant interests in the trade figure
that the consumptive demand has
grown to absorb this difference and
that before the entire crop is har
vested we will run into a period of
actual shortages rather than a sur
plus. It is also figured that foreign
requirements easily will take all
wheat which is not needed for do
mestic purposes as crop conditions
are generally understood to be unsat
isfactory in most of the old word
grain raising districts.
The preliminary estimate of the
area of corn planted is placed at
109,006,000 acres, an increase of 7,-
, 218,000 acres, or 7.1 per cent as
compared with the final estimate of
last year’s acreage. The average
! condition of this crop on July 1 was
89.3 as compared with 82.8 a year
ago and suggests a crop of 3,117,000,-
000 bushels. This is the largest in
cicated yield in the history of the
agricultural department.

round of the ladder, but the Lord
- has been good to us, and we have

crops. We have a good home and a

i added, with much emphasis, "I am

After he sat down his wife
promptly arose to cororborate all thal
