CONFIRMING THEIR Denlsoru Nov. The News: Confirming 1 the report of Denison cotton buyers which appeared In The News a few days ago, and refuting the lat-e ridiculous bureau report, I submit the following additional glnners' and farmers' reports from Grayson county territory: Mr. P.

W. McConnell, BasIn.Springs^ put up at his gin last, year 642 bales; this year up to date he has. put up-19G bales, and thinks he will get 15 bales more this, season, or than one-third of last year's crop, the top'-crop Is ruined by frost and the crop will average about eighth of a bale per acre, or afoout 62 pounds of lint per acre, against the bureau's 151 pounds Thompson's and Henderson's gins at Rrownvllle put up last year 1160 bales; this year they have put up about 165 bales arid will not g-et over 50 bales' more, or not quite une-rfifth. of last 'year's cftbp. The Georgetown gin, west o'f Danison, put up last year 93a bales 200 this year.

two glna'at Denison have not put up one-third of last year's business to date and there is but little cotton coming in now. W. T. Davis writes from Martin Springs: "Cotton crop will not average more than 331-3 pounds of lint per acre, and 90 per cent of the crop gathered and sold." Thirteen planters Colbert, I. report that they planted 245 ceres and the total yield is 5000 pounds of lint, or just 30 pounds par Eight farmers report a yield of.

21,440 pounds of i from 333 acres, or about 64 pounds per acre. From all I can gather the crop of Grayson county arid Indian territory, all told, will fall far below 100 pounds of lint per acre; with'no top crop at all, and at least seven-eighths gathered and' sold. So far as our section Is the absurdity of the bureau report is fully exposed. KING STRANGE SUICIDE. Robert Lee, Coke Tex, Nov.
