The pople of the cotton growing region of America, according to the language of one business man, is toppling o nthe rim and might easily slip into as bad a hole as Germany is in. The problem is to get the people to understand, for there is a tremendous amount of unspun cotton in the world?enough to last two years, according to the figfurea and statistics taken. These figures are bused upon United States government reports and statements issued by Henry G. Hester, who for twenty years has been an unquestioned authority on cotton.

C., headquarters of the National Geographic Society. Voodooism could scarcely be called a religion, but so strong is its influence upon the superstitions of the negi-oes, that despite efforts to eradicate it, very year or two dispatches report that there has been a sudden outbreak of cannibalistic practices in connection with a revival of devotional enthusiasm. It is said that no white man would be allowed to live long after he had given testimony leading to the conviction of a culprit charged with saprlflrinp" n rhilrl Viiu ? /-?#! A ? ? ...O (,vu. ^-k.^ n | consequence, authentic infoi*mation is difficult to get, and proof of a human sacrifice almost impossible. Many teachers and inhabitants of the islands deny the existence of the Icult, though many stories of the horrors perpetrated at a meeting of the Voodoos are recorded by naval officers who have visited the island* and by other men of integrity. Serpent Worship. The general belief is that Voodooism was brought to the Western Hemisphere from West Africa b\ the negroes imported as laborers, eSDCCiallv to HrLit.i. nnrl it rnnt.' fYi'rth J ? *? r^.x/wably bo traced back to the seipent worship of Egypt. Many of the ' charactei istics of the worship als > were attributed to the French witciios of tho fifteenth century, the most violent phases of the practice, perhaps, being an outgrowth of the African superstitions of the black and of the French imagination of the white inhabitants of Haiti. The god Obeah or Vaudoux, of which Voodoo is an American corruption, is supposed to know, to see and do all thir.gr>, hut he manifests himself to his worshippers only in the form of pj r.on-p isonoi * i nake and communicate ; wit'i thee only through a priest and priostos , known as pana-loi and maman-loi, v/ho are held in gr ^at veneration by I their followers. The * ceremony is always held at night, usually in the fastness of U WAY, 8. 0., DBG. 30, 1910.

The devotees take ofF their shoes and bind about their bodies handkerchiefs, the predominating note of which is red, and the p;iest and priestess wear red bands about their heads in the form of crown?. Then they pray to the snake, which is exhibited for the purpose of arousing their emotions. Mamanloi mounts the box in which the gocl is usually kept and emits groans, shrieks, and wild gesticulations a^ she utters her prophetic sentences. Reaction to "Jazz" A dance closes the ceremony. The king puts his hand on the box and a . 1- * Ajiuwuer j'omewnai similar to tne effects produced by the most rec?nt kind of "jazz" seizes him and from him passes to all the rest. The:: the devotional exercises evolve into a delirious madness of wild debauchery and indecency under the cover of drunkenness and night. The initiation of a convert to the faith is enough to inspire him with terror. He pledges himself, when his lips are touched with warm goat's blood, never under any circumstances to reveal the secrets of the fraternity and to kill any member who proves a traitor to the brotherhood. This is the point at which the cannibalism is supposed to occur, but investigation has shown that many of the shocking phases of the, worship have been eliminated, and the worshippers usually satisfy themselves with a cock or a goat, which is afterwards cooked and eaten. The Voodoo women are thought to possess supernatural power, and by working on the superstitions of the natives attain a potent influence over ! them. Many strong ron nin#?d|' away merely because they thought an enemy had "put Obeah ' on them, ju^t as the Southern negro believed in the "conjure" doctor who 'cast a "spell" on him by leaving in his path a bottle containing horse hairs, snake's teeth, lizard claws, a piece of dried rat and a frog's foot. Objects which have been used in the practice of the black art may be seen in the Mu- | scum of the Petit Seminarie at Port fiu Prince. So deep have the people of Haiti become imbued with the cult that an empty bottle, which probably would entice a reminiscent grin from an American assembly, will throw a Hai uan group into consternation, and educated Haitian girls have been known to faint at the sight of the uncanny shivers of spilled mercury.
