Cotton gin output soars as 1911 crop nears peak
Census Bureau data show United States cotton ginned totaled 7,710,013 bales by Oct 18, with Texas, Georgia, Alabama and North Carolina posting gains over 1909 and 1908. Harvest maturities ran earlier this season and overall yields rose sharply amid favorable conditions. A report notes round bales and sea island varieties also show year‑over‑year increases, while state-by-state ginning comparisons are listed. Local notices announce a Masonic funeral ceremony for Dr. H. P. Calhoun at Cottonwood.
