i kaate* in th* Law.
The only important change made
in the law. by the last legislature,
relates to purchasers ot new motor
vehicles. All new vehicles purchased
between Jan. 1 and April 1 of any
year, one full fee of fifty cents per
horsepower must be paid; if pur-
chased between April 1 and July 1,
three-fourths of the annual fee; it
purchased between July 1 and Octo-
ber 1, one-half of the fee; if pur-
chased between October 1 and De-
cember 31, one-fourth of the annual
fee. This provision applies only to
new ipotor vehicles, and not to sec-
ond hand or used machines.
Co-operation.
It Is the desire of this department
to co-operate to the fullest extent
with city and county officers, not
only in the matter of the collection
of the license tax, but In specific
road and bridge construction. We
welcome letters of inquiry from all
officials and will appreciate reports
or tidings of any kind pertaining to
toad and bridge work. An exchange
of Information of this kind will serve
the double purpose of benefiting lo-
calities where work is going on and
of creating an inspiration for other
communities, which may hear of the
good work elsewhere."
Respectfully,
DEPT. OK HIGHWAYS.
The law requires the owner ot
every motor vehicle before driving
the same upon the public highways
of this state, to file a verified appli-
cation for registration on a blank
[prnished by the Department of High-
ways tor that purpose.
The blank with the necessary in-
structions can be obtained from al-
most any bank, garage, notary pub-
lic or county clerk In the stale; or
from the state highway department.
Penalty.
The failure of an automobile own-
er to make this application at the be-
ginning of each calendar yoar, sub-
jects the owner to arrest and a fine
of not less than $50.00. nor more than
$100.00,
Tte offense consists in operating
a motor vehicle upon the public high-
ways of tills state, without first reg-
istering the same, and obtaining a
permit, and without displaying the
state number plate or tag on each
vehicle.
It is alBO a violation of the law
to operate 'Opon the public highways
of this state, a motor vehicle of any
character, even though the tax lias
been paid, without displaying con-
spicuously the metal tag supplied by
tho state highway department.
Owners Duty.
It is not the business of this de-
partment to send out and collect 11-
censc fees, and register vehicles as
many suppose. It is the duty of
owners to call on the department, or
someone of Its agents in every coun-
ty, and register their machines, and
provide themselves with a license
certificate and a number plate, to be
displayed upon their vehicles before
laklng them out on the public high-
ways.
Ip hi Comity Officers.
It is no! necessnry that prosecu-
tions be started from, or authorized
by, tills department. The county at-
torney where the offense is commit-
ted, is required to bring the action
as In other misdemeanor cases. And
it is the duty of sheriffs, deputy
sheriffs, constables and other peace
officers authorized to make arrests,
to investigate tho operator ot every
car found without a tag for the cur-
rent year, and to file complaints and
make arrests, in order to enforce
compliance with the law.
If county and city officers overlook
their duty in this matter, many mo-
tor vehicles will escape taxation en-
tirely and their respective counties
will loose large sums of money, as

Was Lightest Since 1909 With
Exception of YearD2Y. .
Exception of Year
of 1915.
Special to News-Herald.
Washington, D. C., June 13.—Ac-
cording to a bulletin entitled "Cotton
Production In the United States,
11116." about to be issued by Director
Sam. L. Rogers, of the Bureau ot the
Census, Department of Commerce,
and prepared under the direction of
Mr. William M. Steuart, chief statis-
tician in charge of the inquiry, the
American cotton crop of 1916-11,-
449,930 equivalent 500-pound bales
showed a slight increase as com-
pared with the preceding year, but
with that exception was the smallest
since 1909.
The crop of 1916 exceeded that ot
1915 by about 258.0"0 bales, but fell
below that of 1914 the largest ever
grown—by 4,685,000 bales, or 29 per
cent. The production In Alabama,
Florida, Georgia. Mississippi. North
Carolina, and South Carolina fell be-
low that reported for 1915, while the
remaining states show increases. By
far the most pronnunccd decrease
took place in Alabama, in which state
the 1916 crop, amounting to 533,40-
bales, was only a little more than
half as great as that of the preceding
year. 1.020,839 bales.  
Despite the marked falling off 111
the crops of the last two years as
compared with that of 1914. the out-
nut of linters continues to show a
pronounced increase. The figures
now available cover only the nine
months ending April 30. 1911. dari"B
which period 1.210.876 equivalent
500-pound bales of linters were pro-
duced as against 931,141 bales from
crop of 191". and . 856.900 bales
from the crop of 1914. The high
prices obtained In recent years for
this fiber, which Is used extensively
in the manufacture of guncotton .1111
smokeless powder, have so stiniu-
la ted the production of linters that
the yield per ton ot seed treated is
now considerably more than double
that of a few years ago.
The sea-island cotton crop of lJi ,
11" 559 running bales, was the larg-
est on record, with the single excep-
tion of the crop of 1911, which ex-
ceede dit by 1,734 bales. This class
of cotton, however, represented only
about 1 per cent ot the total crop of
1916 All the sea-island cotton was
grown ill Georgia. Florida and
South Carolina, the first-named state
producing 77.981 bales, or about two-
thirds of the total.
Although cotton-is grown in 18
states, the combined product of three
—Texas, Georgia, and Arkansas, the
only states which Produced more
than a million bales each in 191b-
represcnted nearly three-fifths of the
total crop Of that year. Texas alone
reported 3.725.700 bales, or nearly
