Cotton Scandal Prompts Reform Demands From Southern Cotton Association
Washington notes President Jordan and Secretary Cheatham call for reform of the agriculture department’s cotton reports. The Southern Cotton Association, nearly 1,000,000 members, urges creation of a dedicated Cotton Bureau, a trustworthy chief, scientific structure, and legal safeguards to ensure accurate data and to curb influence by officials and buyers. The plea links to broader Roosevelty aims for clean government and reliable statistics.

Prohibition woes plague Pickens after dispensary shutdown
Prohibition officials warn that liquor is being retailed in Pickens County as a new wave of bootlegging grows. Reports claim Greenville dispensaries shift supply across the border, with three gallons seized near Pickens and locals suspected of distributing mountain spirits. Observers say the blockade system remains weak as fading enforcement and fewer constables leave the county more vulnerable to illicit sales.
