Chancellor of the Exchequer Lloyd- George believes that a measure givw ins the parliamentary suffrage to women in the British Isles will become a law "within a short time," but not during the present parliament. He said this in reply to questions put to him by a deputation from a number of suffrage societies.

"But I want to say," he added, "that militant tactics adopted by a section of the women have converted many people's indifference into something like bitter hostility." 4 "The militant section of the continued Chancelor Lloyd-George, "have created a situation which is the werst I have ever seen for woman suffrage in parliament. -1 am glad to see that the spirit of Tnili-tancy is withering." Lloyd-George advised the women to "undertake pilgrimmages, for that is how the women hare won the vote in other countries." THE TOP COTTON CROP BADLY DAMAGED BY FROST. Hurtsboro, October 27.

The first figures reflecting the condition of the rice crop since the un precedented rainfall of September and October have been collected and compiled as accurately as possible, The Southern Rice Growers' Association has, of course, been receiv ing reports from all its agents in every section of the rice-growing states andNfigures also have been obtained from various other sources. "It is extremely difficult to arrive at a definite summing up of the crop as a whole, and the only estimates that can be furnished now must be based on reports of conditions in the various sections. A reliable authority here, who has made up a grand average for the entire rice-growing section, put the loss at 50 per and says there is no strictly first-class rice in the country. Practically all rice is water-staiued and otherwise damaged, but the full extent of this damage in quality cannot be determined until the last sack is thrashed. The average percentages are not to be accepted as accurately representing actual conditions, but rather as being bare indications of comparative prospects.

The averages that may be struck from the figures given below are based on compilations that come from many sources and are; Rice in shock during rains: Texas 61 per cent, Louisiana 54 per cent. Estimated loss in sackage of shocked rice: Texas 19 per Louisiana 32 per cent. Rice uncnt during rains: Texas 38 per Louisiana 3S per cent.
