Godfrey, city clerk und treasurer, who spent several days lu the eastern part of the stale, returned to the city yesterday afternoon, and on his return stated that the crops in MurthoT and adjoining counties, es pecially the cotton crop, are well ad vanced, and tlie prospects are that thc /yield of the last year or so will pe equalled this year. Cotton plants ure up four to six inches and many squares have been noticed in the Heids. The people down ?ben? have needed rain JUBI OB it has been need ed here, bul for some reason the crops have not been held back. Saturday night and Sunday the entire eastern part of the sta'e. willi the exception of most of Chesterfield county, wan visited hy good ruins. A cotton man. who bad travelled all over the Pee Des section stated to Mr. Godfrey thai more than 70 per cent of the eotton in U?e ground had :ome up. und lie considers this as an unusually good crop, under the condit'ons t!.at have existed. Mr. Godfrey states that the tobacco crop outlook lu very gloomy indeed, io the r?cent years thc tobacco crop has been the paying crop in that Bee tloo of the state.

The postponement of the coro- , nation festivit?s, which has been ar ranged for thu coming fall, is be moaned by the whole Japanese peo ple, but tho death of the Dowager Emprers necessitates u long period of national mourning and it is a sac rilegious thing to use at' the coro nation ceremony tho sect} pf rice that, hhs been ripened during V season bf] sorrow. A part of the coronation ritual has 1 been cb?crvsd priai to ibu.- Uqatb ai the Empress Dowager, however. The Imperial ancestors has been duly no tified that thc ceremonies were plan ned for the coming,fall, and open the death of the Dowager Empress, the ancestors were .again visited at their various rh rino*? and notified that the ceremonies ?-would be deferred until 1916. , In Tokio, the Emperor himself made the announcement before the Imper ial sanctuary in the palace. This is the most sacred of the shrines, where the spirit of the grand ancestor, Ama tcrasu-Omikama, "goddens of the sun," ls enshrined. Here, also, are thc three sacred symbols of the throne, the metal mirror, the sword, and the coma-.slu3.ped Jewel, around each of which la woven thc tradition ' that they were al anded down "by'the "god dess of tbe sun", tbe Imp?rial grand an cet-tor, to her grandson, Ninigi-no mlkoto, on tho occasion of the latter's descent to thc inland empire from the heavenly region. When thc sun god dess conferred those treasures upon her grand son she solemnly told him to respect them and enshrine them tn the palace. She told him that the sacred mir ror (which was the most fm portant of the three, represnttng the npirit bf tbe sun goddess) should be held to highest respect and., th o Imperial des cendant should regard it 's he would tbe spirit of his grandmother. The treasures Were handed down to Em peror Jimmu, thc first of toe imperial line, though five dynasties and then to the pr?sent emperor as the eynj bol of tbe throne. * Ttte.?sacred sword,'one of the three treasures, also asa a romatic history In the dim pre-his tor ic .days the Amatoraeu Qm Ut ami. who was a very heroic and restless deity esme down to th? island empire being driven opt from the heavenly region by thc san goddess. While traveling through the province of Izumo he happened to kill a ve-y big boa-constrictor which had been terrifying the people and found a rare sword In Ita trail. Re turning to tbe heavenly region bc 'pre-jented it to the san goddess, who taxer dbastpwed 4t to her grand son together with (be mirror pud jewel. The comma-shaped jewel,, last of tbe sacred treasures, ta also believed to hsv-3 b^=3 ?s?da at the thine of the etta god de? * hy ope of ber loiiowerc but no exact description Of the Jewel is available. That ts a racred secret of the eaoctusry. - thu ceremonies at this imperial sanctuary were impressive.

Some farmers contend that lt is not too bite to plant tobacco, but thu supply of plants is exhausted, and the tobacco men can but pluti for next year's crop. Mr. Godfrey, in returning to lils old home county. Chesterfield, was espec ially struck with thc large amount nf new lands that is now being cleared np and has boen cleared up during Hie last few years. Land that brought less than $1 an acre in Chesterfield county six or eight years ago. and which had quantities of long leaf yellow pine or lt. ls now Helling for good prices, mid intelligent and Bclentiflo farmers are moving there to cultivate it.
