Mr. Itobert K. McIIwain, til
Lancaster, has been appointed a
local special agent < 1 the Census
Oflice to collect coton ginning
statistics for this county, and we
join the Government in urging
the ginners to give Mr. Mcl twain
their hearty support and cooperation,
thus enabling him to make
prompt and accurate returns.
We would impress upon the ginners
the fact that th.'s agent is a
sworn officer of the Government,
and that their reports are for
warded as given to him directly
to the Census Ofli e, at Washington,
without passing through the
hands of any middlemen. The
information given is ht Id as strictly
confidential, an 1 !no opentlioiih
ot individual ginnors arc not ili
vulged. I'pon the j tint ccoperation
ol tlie cotton growers, gin
ners. ami local agents must de
pend the success of the Census
Ollice in (his inquiry, and its
ability to render this meat ser
vice to the Southern people and
to all interested in the cotton
staple.
The Census Office has demonstrated
in three annual reports,
the tact that the ginners are the
only reliable source ol information
as to the volume of the an
mial co'ton crop This is very
complimentary to the ginners,
who, no doubt, will feel a pride
in sustaining the reputation
earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by the pinners, and of a
general demand for more frequent
reports through litis source,
Congress, in the act creating a
permanent census < Hi provided
ior the collection ami publication
oi meso sialic! jo' ;?l intervals
during t!ie ginning season. For
the crop ol 1 902 the office will
issue three reports : the first two
will cover the quantity of cotton
pinned mo to and including O'to
her IS and December IP. respectively;
and the final report
will cover the lotai quantify pin
ned from the grow th ol lt>02.
Realizing that the collection ol
the data for these reports is made
at a season when the pinners'
time is greatly taxed, and appu
ciating the necessity lor prompt
returns, the Census Office has
located, in each county contain
" , '' i A " #
/
| ing ten or more ginneries, an
agent, who will visit each ginnery
'in the county and secure a report
| of the quantity cf cotton ginned
up to certain dates. In under
taking the frequent and hurried
i reports now sought, it is of vital
I importance that the returns be
made with absolute uniformity,
] and that all be received at Washington
at one time. This result
1 could not be expected from in
dividual requests in ule by mail
of 30,000 ginners, at a time when
| they are engro s. d in their gin
! uing woru. Furthermore, the
' Census Office mast be kent advis
led for r.ll changed in the manj
agement and operation of Hippo
J establishments, and secure ret urns
, from all new and. revived plants.
To accomplish such results, it
' becomes necessary for the office
to have local representatives who
hi'1 be cl. irged with the dutv of
I
kv oping in close touch with
| the ginning industry in each
county, and of promptly reporting
the quantity of cotton ginned.
The statistics for the October
J report will be collected during
! the week beginning with Monday.
I October 20, and ginners should
! keep such records a^ will enable
1 them to furnish promptly the
required information. These
'returns will be tabulated, and
*7 ?
?ho result published within one
I week from tlu?ir receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected
thtough the commercial system,
however,accurately compiled, tall
shore of the demand ot both
producer and manufacturer?
first, in that as they cover the
quantity of cotton marketed be
'tween September^ of one year
and August 31 of the following,
they are not statistics of a crop
grown in any one year; and
second, in the liability to error
j involved in statistics so compiled
I Nothing short of official reports,
made sufficiently early to form
a basis of prices, will entirely
satisfy the cotton growers or
1 manufacturer. If is gratifying
to know that the South his the
| assistance and cooperation of the
Uiovernriient in bringing about
the result they desire?an undertaking
the success of which now
depends upon the cotton growers
and giniiers themselves.

TIKKD OF TEXA8.
Jlr. Land Comes Itnck to York
To Look lor a IMace Where
There is More FqnahieClimate
and Fewer Tests.
Mr. E. F. Land, formerly ol
this county, but, for a number ol
years past a eiliz^u of Texas, arrived
here last Tuesday, and has
been pulling in the lime since
trying to find a suitable plant a
tion. lie has enough of Texas
and is desirous of returning to his
old home.
The reporter had a short talk
with Mr. Land Tnursday evening,
and from his conversation, it
would seem that he considers the
agricultural outlook quite gloomy
'n Texas. There has been a gen^
oral failure in both lite corn and
I cotton crops tin's year, and from
| his observation ami experience,
cotton growing in the "Line
! Star" state seem* to bo practical1
ly doomed
The trouble with cotton is on
1 account of the Mexican boll
1 weevil. This pest began to make
! its appearance in Southern Texas
I about ten years ago, and since
i that time ii has been spreading
northward and eastward, at the
rate of about 50 miles h year.
Hecauae of the weevil, cotton
raising lias already become a thing
of the past in many portions of
Southern Texas, the farmers having
changed from cotton to rice,
sugar cane and other crops.
' I planted this year," said Mr.
Land, "for 40 bales of cotton."
That is, with good seasons, and
no injury from tho weevil, I

not unusual to make from a
bale to a bale and a half to the
acre. The boll weevil made its
appearance, however, and altogether
1 will not get more than
5,000 pounds of seed cotton. A
large farmer near by had some
000 acres in cotton, and his yield
was hardly as good in proportion
as mine was.
"The department of agricul
lure," Mr Land went on to say,
"has had several expert ento
mo'ogists, in Texas for several
| years past, trying como means of
destroying the boll weevil ; but
up to this time nothing has been
accomplished. The weevil makes
its appearance with the square*
and blooms, and when there is a
good season in June or July at
the fruiting period, ,iu*t at the
time a good season is needed,
you can put it down that your crop
is gone. The only thing that
seems to afleet the boll weevil is
hot, dry weather. It does not
thrive on cotton that is stunted
or backward, where the sun can
get to the squares and blooms ;
but gets in its work on luxurious
growths, where the squares and

'In addition to the boll weevil
this year the farmers of almost
the entire state have had to contend
with a terrible drouth.
Except in a few localities, the
corn crop has nmoun'ed to practically
nothing, and taken all
together, the Texas farmers are
having a rough time of it. Mr.
Land is now thoroughly satisfied
that the Piedmont section of
South Carolina is pupporior to
I any part of Texas as a place to!
j live in. "You have to work
harder lure maybe," he says,
"but there is never such a thing
as a complete failure of all kinds

Tribute In the Memory
Of Mr. Joseph Montgomery, son
of Mrs. iN. E Montgomery, aged
| about 3.r? years. On October 9th
{the death angel appeared in the
| home of Mrs. N li. Montgomery,
j in the Creek section, and stimi
moued the spirit of her son Joseph
to the realms ol everlasting hli9s.
' We cannot understand whv Ood
permits death to come into our
homes here and take away our
loved ones; hut atter the mists
have cleared away wp shall know,
for we shall be like Him and s<e
llim as he is. ' Free trom sorrow,
sickness and death, his pure spirit
rests at God's throne with the
spirits of the just made perfect.
Who, who would live always
away from his God,
Away from yon heaven?that

Where the rivers of pleasure llow

And the noontide ol glory eternally
reigns.
