Leral Receipts Greater Than Rest
W County Combined
n cotton receipts in Marlow to-
tal 4650 bales np to Thursday night
Tbs receipts at the yard do not
tally with this total but an estimate
of jtk number of bales hauled back
to tbs farm awaiting a higher mark-
et places the total well over the
4600 mark
The picking Besson Is about to
dose Almost every farmer bring-
ing cotton to the gin remarks that
it is his last bale The ginning sea-
son will possibly close here the Ut-
ter part of next week if the weath-
er remains fair The 1621 crop will
sR be gathered out by the 20th of
this month if nothing interferes ’
Tbs market on cotton in Marlow
has been very good considering the
price prevailing at the time the
marketing season opened The
market has been steadily rising un-
tl the last week The price has
raaged from 18 to 22 cents a pound
It is now estimated' that the crop
at cotton has brought the farmers
of thin vicinity around $500100 baa-
ing the estimate on an average of
twenty cents a poun for cotton
While the cost of farming has been
great' the farmers as a whole are
very well satisfied with the price
received believing thst there U a
margin of profit in twenty cent cot-
ton and that if they have sustained
a leea it waa more from the boil
weevil than it waa from the price
paid by the buyers

strongest teams in the state this

that season with hut one defeat
However our boys gave them a real
contest Green at quarterback for
the locals executed some clever
passes while the Marlow line was
practically invincible Carnegie t re-
sorted to end runs trick plays and
passes to make their gains Our
boys were able to pierce the Car-
negie line ' for good gains both
Anthony and Burnett going over
for gains repeatedly The Marlow
hoys were outpointed hut ‘ not out-
spirited for they kept up the deter-
mination that against teams nearer
their strength is bound to win Ticer

Carnegie team and his broken field
running stood out as a strong feature

heard of in many years was that
pulled on R L Williams one night
last week He and his sons had
gathered a hale of cotton and loaded
it in the wagon ready to haul to the
gin the next morning hut during the
night a dirty sneak thief pulled in
the field transferred the cotton to
his wagon and hauled it away leav-
ing Mr Willaima to not only lose the
cotton but his work of picking it as
well

EST PRODUCERS
Crops Are Diversified and Production
Statistics Are Astounding
The latest statistics of crop and
mineral productions and valuations

retary of the State Election divulges
a world of useful and interesting
information that doubtless few of
the residents of this county are in-
formed of

of the banner counties in the south
It is excelled in production by very
few agricultural counties In the en-
tire south and in recent years is
climbing to the top in the amount of
oil produced The number of head
of livestock on farms it ranks
among the first counties of the
south It has more than the average
land owning fanners
For the information of our own
people as well as those who may
be interested in the county we
have assembled some statistics that
may prove of great value to you if
you will remember them or clip
them out for future reference

A NEGRO IS VICTIM
OF KLANSMEN
All doubts as to there really be-
ing a chapter of the Klu Klux Klan
in Duncan were dispelled last night
when a body of presumably that
organization waited on a negro in
tha southeast part of the city made
the gent a prisoner and carried him
out into the country a short distance
from town where he was given twen-
ty lashes with a rubber tube
The particular crime for which
the negro was punished was the
whipping of his two-year-old child
It is said he held the child up by
grasping it by the collar and lash-
ed it with the strap which he held
in the other hand
Particulars of the Klan action
are not yet public and probably
never will be Where they came
from and where they went after
dealing out the little bit of retri-
bution to a brute is not known
None of the men were masked
it waa said but their identity will
never ha known for it is 'under-
stood that when tha recipient of
the lambasting was freed he hit
only the high places — Banner
