equivalent 500-pound bales, the De-
partment of Agriculture announced

Rural Mail Boxes
In Bad Condition
* *::
hi? Demanc
. For the Front.
As a result of a recent inspection of
the rural free delivery mail boxes
eminating from the Cooper office, it
has been observed that many of the I
boxes do not come up to the depart- i
ment requirments. Many of the boxes (
are without lids or doors and many j
of them are very poorly attached to |
the posts, while some are off the post j
entirely, making it necessary for the j
carrier to alight from his conveyance
in order to place mail in such boxes. |
The department is spending $8,834.-
00 annually in order to get mail de-
livered to the rural patrons of the
Cooper office and the only requirment
they make is that each patron have
a standard box, cenveniently located

crop, had been ginned to that date.
Abandonment of Acerage.
The probable yields from Oct. 18 in-
dications is placed at 164.7 pounds of
line cotton per harvested acre, com-
pared with 152.0 pounds on Oct. 1,
this year, and 157.4 pounds, the
final yeild last year.
An abandoment of cotton acerage
since June 25 of 4.6 per cent, leaving
about 44,231,000 acres for harvest this
year, is indicated by preliminary re-
ports. That compares with an esti-
mated abandonment from June 26 to
the close of the season of 3.0 per cent
in 1924, of 4.1 per cent in 1923 and
ten-year average of 3.5 per cent.
The percentage of abandonment of
acreage since June 25 and the indicat-
ed production based on all available
information on Oct. 18 follows:
Virginia, abandonment, 1.0 per cent,
production 48,000 bales.
North Carolina, 2.00 and 1,120,000.
South Carolina, 2.5 and 850,000.
Mississippi, 1.0 and 1,820,000.
Texas 9.00 and 4.050.000.
Georgia, 2.00 and 1,120,000.
Florida, 1.0 and 40.000.
Missouri, 4.0 and 230,000.
Tennessee, 1.5 and 475.000.
Alabama, 1.5 and 1.270,000
Louisiana, 1.7 and 860,000.
Oklahoma, 2.0 and 1,575,000.
Arkansas, 2.5 and 1,470.000.
New Mexico, 27.0 and 60,000.
Arizona, 3.7 and 90.000.
California, 1.0 and 130,000.
All other states, 2.06 and 18,00.
About 70,000 bales additional
1 the box without alighting from his
vehicle.
When it becomes necesary for those
grading or otherwise working the
roads to move a mail box, they are
permitted to do so, even without the
consent of the owner of the box, but
they are not required to replace the j
box, this being the duty of the owner
of the box.
I trust tha teach patron will ex-
amine his box and see that it con-
firms to the department’s requirments.

W. J. (Bill) Allison ofi Pecan Gap
was in Cooper this week and states
that he expects to placce his name
before the citizens of Delta County for
the office of Tax Assessor. Mr. Alli-
son is a young man of sterling worth
and capable in every respect.
The residence of C. H. Henson on
West First Street together with the
household effects were consumed by
fire at an early hour Wednesday morn-
ing.
The fire was discovered by Dr. Blair,
who had come in about 12:30 f*om
making a call. The whole top of*the
house seemed to be on fire and flames
, were coming out of the roof at sev-
; oral places, but they were enveloping
| the kitchen flue which indicated that
j the fire originated at that place .
After turning in the alarm Dr.
Blair rushed to the home and awoke
the family who barely escaped scantly
clad. Mr. and Mrs. J. N. Harris,
parents of Mrs. Henson, of Ballinger,
who were visiting them, being in a rear
room, had difficulty in getting out.
As the town is without a sirene
to sound an alarm many neighbors
were not awakened and did not know
of the fire in time to render any
assistance, and only a scorched piano
and a few pieces of furniture were
I saved.
There was no insurance on the fur-
Viiture, and nearly all their clothing
| was lost. There was $2750 insurance
Ion the house which is far below its
| worth, as Mr. Henson had recently
built a sleeping room and made other
improvements.

It has been a part of my duty for
the past three years as County Judge
of this county to look carefully into
the vurious departments of the county
government, and it is my observation
that there is a duplication of work
in the offices of the County Clerk,
County Treasurer and the County De-
pository.
Our statutes provide that the Coun-
ty Treasurer may receive a salary
not exceeding $2000.00 annually, ard
for a number of years the treasurer
of this county has been receiving*
that much for their work. The com-
pensation of the treasurer is not fixed
by statute, but is regulated by the
commissioners court.
It is my opinion that the County
Clerk should be assigned a part of
the duties now performed by the
County Treasurer, and that a part of
the duties should be performed by the
County Depository. The treasurer’s
office being provided for by the Con-
stitution, cannot be abolished without
amendment to the Constitution, but
the salary provided for that office can
be eliminaed and the bookkeeping car-
ried on as outlined herein. This
would effect a saving of about $2,000
anually to the county, or, a reduction
of the county tax rate by about three
cents on the $100.00 valuation of taxa-
ble property.
In all probablity there are those
who contemplate offering themselves
as candidates for County Treasurer
during 1926, and this statement is
made at this time in order to put such
pe-sons on notice that t ipy might
be elected to an office that carried
v it) it little or no pa/
I would not consider it fair to cut
r1* the pay of this off* e and transfer
the work of the same to other depart-
ments after one lias already spert his
being jtime and means in getting elected to
it, but I think the change should bo
made at the beginning of a new term
when all the details of a division of
the work can be made.
