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. “Ezry," said Farmer Hay.

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. —Savannah Morning News.

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.
