THE AREAGE REPORT
Reports From Every Part ,of Cotton
Belt Indicate Substantial Decrease
ASSOCIATION FIGURES 25,980,951
Decrease For 1905 is Asserted to be
18.43 Per Cent in Acreage Under
1904, and 16.05 in Commercial Fer
tUzers, as Shown by Tabulated
Statement Based c 17.754 Indivi
dual Reports.
New Orleans, Special.-The Southern
Cotton Association issued its cotton
acreage report. The report says:
"The estimated acreage for 1904, as
indicated by the report of the United
States Government, amounted to 31,
730,000 acres.
"The decrease in the acreage for
1905, as shown by our tabulated state
.ment, which was compiled from 17,754
individual reports from farmers, bank
ers, merchants and others throughout
the cotton belt, fixing the acreage this
year at 25,980,951 acres, a decrease of
18.43 per cent, and 16.05 per cent in fer
tilizers.
"The condition of the crop as report
ed from Louisiana. Texas, Arkansas,
the Territories and portions of Mis
sissippi, are unprecedentedly bad, much
of the acreage in those States and
Territories being yet unpianted, and
large tracts either under water or bad
ly washed by heavy rains.
"In the eastern portion of the cotton
belt the fields are grassy, the cotton
still unchopped, and labor very scarce
throughout the entire belt. The officers
of the association express the highest
commendation of the loyalty of farm
ers throughout the colton territory in
so fully living up to their promises and
pledges in bringing about so material
a reduction in the cotton acreage and
the use of commercial fertilizers under
cotton for 1905.
"The present demand for cotton is
unprecedented, and, with a firm and de
termined .stand, higher prices for the
staple will be secured in tho near fu
ture."
Condition of Cotton.
New York, Special.-The June report
of The Journal of Commerce, points to
a reduction of 12.8 per cent, in acreage,
or even less, and a condition of 77.4
compared with 79.8 per cent, last June.
The largest decrease in acreage, 17.1
per cent., is shown by Texas, and Ar
kansas ranks next with a decrease of
15.3" per cent. North Carolina is 4.2 per
cent, below last June. Louisiana, 13%
per cent.; Oklahoma,*13.7 per cent.;
Mississippi. 13.6 per cent., and Ten
nessee. 12.2. The reduction in South
Carolina is 9.1 per cent.; Georgia, 7.7;
Florida, 9.9; Alabama, 7; the Indian
Territory, 5.3 and Virginia. 9.5. Texas,
Louisiana and Mississippi show de
clines in condition amounting to 7, 12
and ll points respectively, comparing
with a year ago. The condition in the
Carolinas shows a slight improvement
while Georgia and Florida are up 5 and
6 points, respectively. The Indian Ter
ritory indicates a reduction of about 12
points, and Oklahoma a reduction of 5
points. The Journal of Commerce says
that securing a reliable estimate of cot
ton acreage this season is attended
with unusual difficulty, owing to the ac
tive campaign carried on in the South
for a 25 per cent, reduction. Of coursa
no such reduction is to be expected,.but
the agitation has undoubtedly exerted
an important influence, which is shown
by the strong tendency towards large
decrease in making estimates. The re
port is based on reports from 1,800 cor
respondents, whose average date of re
ply was May 23. Weather conditions
have been generally unfavorable for
the entire belt, excessive rains making
fields very grassy and washing out
many of the bottom lands. In conse
quence considerable replanting will be
necessary, but many correspondents
fear that all available labor will be re
quired to cultivate cotton already grow
ing without replanting. The crop is
very late, ranging from one to four
weeks. In spite of the grass, good
stands have been generally obtained
and the plant has a vigorous growth,
and only fair weather is needed to give
the crop an excellent start.
Cotton Needs Cultivation.
Washington, Special.-The weekly
crop report of the Weather Bureau
says:
"Throughout nearly the whole of the
cotton belt cotton is much in need of
cultivation, and reports af abandoned
fields are received from the Carolinas,
Georgia. Alabama and Louisiana.
Good stands are generally reported,
but much planting remains to be done
in northern Texas, and planting is
unfinished in Arkansas. In southern
Texas and In portions of the central
and eastern districts thc situation is
improved, and the crop is doing well
in . localities. Squares are now form
ing in the southern portion of the
central and eastern districts.
A New Connection.
New York, Special.-The surface
lines in this city are operated by the
Metropolitan Street Railway Company,
which was controlled by the late Wm.
C. Whitney and his associates. This
company plans to build an extensive
sub-way system in competition with
the Inter-borough Rapid Transit Com
pany, which operates the existing sub
way and the Manhattan elevated lines.
Georgia's Reduction.
Atlanta, Ga., Special.-Georgia's cot
ton acreage has been reduced 13 per
cent as compared with last year, and
there has been a reduction of a little
more than 14 per cent in the amount
of fertilizer used under cotton, accord
ing to the official report of State Com
missioner of Agriculture S. 0. Stevens,
issued Wednesday. The estimate is
based on reports from correspondents
in all parts of the State.
Art Gallery Dedicated.
Buffalo, Special.-The Albright Art
Gallery was dedicated in the p:esence
of 10,000 people. Ralph H. Plumb, presi
dent of the Buffalo Fine Arts Academy,
presided. President Plum introduced
Charles W. Elliott, president of Har
vard University, who delivered an ad

TWO PERSONS DROWNED
Tragic End of Sunday Diversion in
Sight of Many Persons-Both Bod
ies Recovered.
Conway, Special.-Mr. S. A. Cau
sey and his nephew, G. Hugh Causey;
were drowned on Sunday at Pitch
landing on the Waccamaw river, four
miles below this place. A number of
men had gathered at this place, well
known to bathers, at about 10 o'clock
in the morning. Mr. Causey was try
ing to teach his little nephew, a boy
about 10 years old, how to swim. They
were the only ones in the water at the
time, with the exception of two swiall
boys. Mr. Causey took his nephew
on his back, and announced his in
tention of swimming across the river,
at that point about 90 yards wide.
When about half way across, he turn
ed around and started back-the reas
on for which no one will ever know.
When within a few feet of the shore,
he suddenly sank, and never rose.
As he went down his nephew loosened
his hold, and tried to reach the bank,
but succeeded only in drifting a few
feet, farther down the stream, before
he too was overcome.
None of the others present were
able to swim, and all efforts made to
gel a boat or reach poles out to the
struggling boy proved unavailing, and
the horror had to be endured of see
ing him go down before their eyes,
just beyond the reach of help.
Mr. Causey was noted for his skill
as a swimmer, and various theories
have been put forward to account for
this most unfortunate accident, the
most plausible being that, due to the
extra burden of the boy's weight, he
felt his strength ebbing, and turned
back, only to be seized with cramp
before reaching shore. This probably
accounts for the fact that he did not
rise after going down the first time.
He was a merchant at Bear Swamp,
and leaves a wife, but no children.
For the past four years he has been
a memoer cf the iocal camp of the
Woodmen of the World, and as soon
as the news of the accident reached
this ola cc. as many of his brethren as
could be summoned went out to fehe
scene. His body was recovered about
ten yards below the point where he
sank, at 4 o'clock in tbe afternoon;
and a few minutes later the boy's body
was found, some distance further
down the river. The members of the
camp also attended the funeral exer
cises, which were solemnized at his
family burial place, called "Camp
Ground."
The many friends and relatives of
deceased have done everything within
their power to show their sympathy
with his family in this sad bereave
ment.
Farmer Killed Tenant.
Florence, Special.-Alonzo Murphy,
colored, was shot and killed by Jim
Cole, a young white farmer, near the
city. Murphy lived on Cole's planta
tion and was beating his wife. She went
over to Mr. Cole's residence nearby and
appealed to him for help. Cole went
back with her and told him he had
come to advise him and meant no
trouble: however he must stop beating
his wife and having so much noise
on his plantation. Murphy became
enraged and picked up his gun, which,
it is said, was loaded with buckshot,
pointed it at Cole and fired, but Cole
knocked it up just as it fired, the load
going over his head. Murphy then
jumped on Cole to fight him and when
Cole found that Murphy was getting,
the best of him he pulled his pistol
to shoot him. Murphy tried to take
it from him. Finally Mr. Cole shot
him twice, one of the bullets passing
through his body and killing him in
stantly.
Tried to Kill a Farmer.
Rock Hill. Special.-Boykin Mobley,
a young white man, was arrested here
on a warrant issued by the magistrate
at Ogden, charging him with attempt
ing thc life cf W. L. Baskins, a well
to-do farmer of the Ogden neighbor
hood. It is alleged by Baskins that
Mobley shot at him several times with
a shot.gun and fired the same weapeon
through thc window of his residence,
into a room where Mrs. Baskins, her
two children, and her mother, Mrs.
Parish, were standing. Baskins, while
the shooting was going on, ran to the
house of a neighbor and returned
with a gun and acquaintance, a Mr.
Parrish, who was armed with a rifle.
Mobley refused to surrender and Par
rish fired at him with a rifle. He was
slightly wounded in the band, but. es
caped and has been in hiding since.
The shooting occurred last Thursday.
Officers located Moblc-y in hiding at
the home of his father at Manchester
mill in this city and arrested him af
ter he had jumped from a second story
window in an endeavor to escape.

SOUTH CAROLINA CROPS
Conditions For Past Week as Given
Out by the Department.
-The first half of the week ending
Monday, May 29th, was much cooler
than usual, the latter half had nearly
normal temperatures. There was a
harmful deficiency in sunshine. High
easterly winds prevailed generally,
though the winds were light at the
close of the week. Light frost was
reported from Cherokee county on the
22nd and 23rd.
There were from four to six days
with rain and in places the precipi
tation was excessive, notably in Darl
ington and Chesterfield counties where
lands wert: badly washed and bottom
lands flooded. The weekly amount of
rain was largely in excess of the nor
mal in the central counties, but the
ground was kept wet so that only from
one to three days plowing and culti
vation were practicable. Hoeing made
better progress.
Farm work was further delayed and
is backward with many fields very
foul with grass and weeds, and there
is a continued scarcity of farm lab
orers in all parts of the State, so that
the grassy fields are becoming a ser
ious menace to crops.
While a few reports indicate that
cotton is doing well on u#lands, more
especially on red and clay lands that
have been cultivated, the majority of
the reports indicate; the croeto be in
an unpromising condition with the
plants small, and red or yellow, and
their growth checked by the cool
nigths. Many fields are grassy and
the probability is that some will be
abandoned in all sections of the State,
owing to their foul condition and the
impracticability' of cleaning them.
Plants continue to die on sandy lands'.
Lice haye appeared in a number of
counties. Chopping made fair pro
gress, but has not been finished in the
western counties. Sea Island cotton
is in a poor condition.
Early corn that has been properly
cultr. ated is promising, but the lar
ger portion of the crop is yellow and
sickly. Planting of bottom lands
made slow progress during the week,
and there is still much to be planted.
Wheat is ripening and some has been
cut. Oats are generally fine, espe
cially spring oats. Fall oats are rip
ening and harvest is under way. It
has been too wet for tobacco and
some is flring.
Some peas have been sown, and
sweet potatoes transplanted. Truck
shipments have about ended. Truck
wet weather has caused peaches to
rot badly. Pastures are fine and gar
dens are doing well.-J. W. Bauer,
Section Director.
Settlement With Counties.
Columbia, Special.-The comptroller
general has decided upon a uniform
date for settlements between the tax
department of the State and the tax
department of the counties and has
issued the following letter to county
auditors, treasurers, supervisors and
superintendents of education:
"It becomes necessary to fix a uni
formn date for the annual settlement
between county auditors and county
treasurers. All annual settlements
will hereafter be made July 1st, or as
soon as possible after that date. Coun
ty treasurers, supervisors and superin
tendents of education are directed at
the close of business June 30th .to
close and balance their books. These
officers with their books and vouchers
will meet ir. th? county auditor's of
fice, on or before July IO, together
with the foreman or committee of the
grand jury and county auditor, and
proceed to verify the charges and
credits taken in said settlement, as
made up by the county auditor and
treasurer.
"County auditors will bear in mind
that upon them rests the responsibil
ity for carrying out these instruc
tions and for the correctness of the
settlement, for it is marifestly impos
sible for the comptroller general or his
representative to examine and verify
the thousands of. items going to make
up the charges and credits, and he
must therefore depend, in a great
measure, upon county officials cover
ing the same. When the settlement is
made up notify this office; a date will
then be fixed to examine and approve
the same.
"County supervisors and county su
perintendents of education will pre
pare a statment, showing the exact
condition of the county and school
finances, giving a complete statement
of bonded debt, borrowed money, out
standing claims, etc. Blanks will be
furnished for this purpose."
Franchise Tax Upheld.
Washington, Special.-The validity
of the special franchise tax law of
I&99, of the State of New York, was
sustained by the Supreme Court of the
United States in a decision handed
down. The decision affects immense
interests and it is stated that over $24,
000,000 of unpaid taxes in Greater New
York are made payable by the decision
handed down. Justice Brewer delivered
the opinion of the court.
Nineteen Vessels Sunk or Captured.
Tokio, By Cable-The number of
Russian vessels of all descriptions

Sunning the baby is the latest thing
In baby culture. No household is too
poor to possess one of these patent
adjustable sun parlors.
They are made of some land cf hard
wood and built by the carpenter to
extend beyond the window. The top
and sides of the little platform are
covered with glass, and strips of car
pet are laid on the floor to stop up any
cracks there may be. No matter how
fiercely the winds may blow or bow
low the thermometer may sink the
Bun parlor ia always ready for the
baby.
A pillow is placed on the carpeted
floor, then the baby is warmly dressed
and well covered for its morning or
afternoon nap. Mothers who have
tried this method of sunning the baby
are boasting of tho gain in weight
and health and have the proud satis
faction of knowing they are strictly up
to date.

Does His Duty Without Fear.
Francis I. Henry, the special Unitec
States district attorney who brough!
Senator Mitchell and others to indict
ment in Oregon, fears nothing and has
a record for absolute integrity. In his
early days he practiced law ic Ari
rona. A woman came to him for help
in securing a divorce on account ol
her husband's cruelty, but assured biri
that her husband threatened to kili
any lawyer who would take up his
wife's case. "Oh, that is a matter thal
will come up later," said Henry calm
ly. He got the woman her divorce ant
next day met the former husband ir
the street. The latter took a revolvei
out of his pocket, whereupon Henry
being quicker "on tho draw," shot the
man dead.
Trousers and Jacket in Wood.
The president of a large wholesale
company in Van Buren street has re-,
cently received from a customer, who
lives in Akron, Ohio, a curio consist
ing of a natural growth of maples so
fashioned as to resemble a pair of
Mexican trousers und part of a close
fitting jacket. The "trousers" are
about long enough for a man six feet
tall.
The Ohio customer has a farm near
his home city. While exploring the
woods a few week:; ago he discovered
a tree whose peculiarity startled him.
Soon afterward he had the tree felled
and. cutting out i:he unique section,
sent it by freight lo the Chicago firm.

For Systematic Scientific Research
Prof. Pearson, the English scientist,
has been considering the suggestion
of Prof. Simon Newcomb looking tc
the systematization of scientific re
search by organizing investigators inte
what might be termed battalions. Dr.
Pearson says that what science needs
at present is to get rid of most of Its
data, and investigators with brains
enough to interpret what is left. "At
least 50 per cent of the observations
made and the data collected," says
Prof. Pearson, "is worthless, and nc
man, however able, e,ouId deduce any
result from them at all. In engineer's
language, we need to 'scrap-heap'
about 50 per cent of the products oj
nineteenth century science."

"We get some queer wills here/*
said Deputy Register Stroup of Harris

Mr. Stroup produced a small sheet
of paper, which contained:
When my wife's a widow, of me be

It then shall go to my daughter dear.
This document was duly attested as

Shoe Lacer tor Fat People.
Mrs. Elizabeth Falconer of Louis
ville, Ky., has just perfected wt in
vention which promises to revolution
ize the lacing of shoes by fat people.
The invention enables men or wom

primarily for rat men-there- are no
fat women-it will be utilized as
much by them as by the aged and in
firm, for whose comfort it was
brought into the world. The inven
tion is simple. One lace string is per

of it laces the shoes. Pulling the bot

It is a fact, that when the city man
and boy take a vacation from their
toil and the city woman and girl
from their home duties they gener
ally want to take what Dr. Adler
calls an ethical vacation, too. The
country people know and feel this
and some of their most conscientious
people resent it, declares the New
York Mail. They object that city
people, let loose in the country, do
things which they v,-ould not do at
home. Hatless and coatless, city
girls who are careful of their con
duct at borne sit saucily-on the coun
ter of the mountain grocery store and
thump their heels against its boards.
Even people who are constantly wish
ing for something new draw the line
at neuralgia.

"Ever since boyhood I have been
especia ?ly fond of meats, and I am con
vinced I ate too rapidly, and failed to
masticate my food properly.
"The result was that I found myself,
a few years ago, afflicted with ailments
of the stomach aud kidneys, which in
terfered seriously with my business.
"At last I took the advice of friends
and b?gan to eat Grape-Nuts Instead of
the heavy meats, etc., that Ixid consti
tuted my former diet.
"I found that I was nt once benefited
by tho change, that I was soon relieved
from tlie heart-burn and the indigestion
that used to follow my meals, that the
pains In my back from my kidney af
fection had ceased, showing that those
orgaus had been healed, and that my
nerves, which used to be unsteady, and
my brain, which was slow and lethargic
from a heavy diet of meats and greasy
foods, had, not in a moment, but grad
ually, and none the less surely, been
restored to normal efficiency. Now
every nerve is steady and my brain
and thinking faculties are quicker and
more acute than for years past.
"After my old style breakfasts I used
to suffer during the forenoon from a
feeling of weakness which hindered me
seriously in my work, '.mt since I
have begun to use Grape-Nuts food I
can work till dinner time with all ease
and comfort." Name given by Postura

GOVERNMENT LIGHT.
HISTORIC CHICKAMAUGA PARK
ABLAZE WITH ILLUMINATION.
United Stntos Syntoin of LifchMni? Mili
tary Tost Pronounce!! Gratifyingly
Successful-Six nnil Ouo-Half Miles
of Mains- Sixty-Five Street Light?.
Chickamauga Park, Ga., May31.-The
United Stales Government has here
in operation one of the largest acety
lene gas plants in the -world. The mil
itary post nt tho nuance of the his
iorical Ch loka mn uga onttlefleld. where
thirty thousand Union and Confederate
soldiers were lost in tho memorable
battle of September 19 and 20, 18G3,
contains about one hundred buildings,
the seventy-five principal ones of which
are lighted with acetylene. To accom
plish this six and ouo-half miles of
mains and two miles of service pipes
aro in use, while sixty-five street lamps
brilliantly illuminate the avenues of
tho post.
In 3903 the War Department Jn
stalleu a test acetylene plant at Fort
Meyer. Virginia. The results were so
gratifying and the superiority of the
illuminant so evident that the Govern
ment. March 20, 100-1, placed the con
tra et for the Chiclea manga plant, in
which every citizen of the United States
should have his pro rn ta of pride.
But the Government has not confined
its acceptance of acetylene to this mili
tary post. Since becoming satisfied of
the efficiency, superiority and econom
ical advantages of chis particular il
luminant, the United States has in
stalled a number of plants in Indian
schools and other Government insti
tutions.
Acetylene gas ls one of the simplest
as well ns the most perfect of artificial
lights. It ls made by the colite. of.
water and carbide (a manufactured
product for sale at a nominal price), is
absolutely safe and gives a beautiful
white light soothing to the eyes and
nerves. It con be produced anywhere
-in the farm home, the village store,
the town hall, the church-and is so
easily maintained as to be practical for
all classes.
It is a matter for national congratu
lation that in beautifying sb historic
a spot as Chickamauga, nothing but the
best, including the lighting system, has
been deemed good enough for the
American people.
Train Too Fast for Coyotes.
The recent chase of a wolf by a
train on the Cheyenne & Northern
railroad north of Cheyenne was dis
counted near here when engine 1657,
hauling a special fast freight, ran
down and killed two coyotes. The an
imals were trotting along on the track
over a section of thc country that was
deep in snow. At the approach cf the
train the coyotes attempted to jump
from the track but the high banks of
snow* prevented this, so they tried to
run. away from the iron horse. For
over six miles the race continued be
fore the coyotes were run down and
killed.-Denver Republican.
Uallroal Rato Legislation.
Testifying before tho Senate Com
mittee ?tl Washington, Interstate Com
merce Commissioner Prouty said in.
discussing the proposition io give that
commission the power to regulate rail
way rates:
"I think the railways should make
their own rates. I think they should
be allowed to develop their own busi
ness. I have never advocated any
law, and I am,not now in favor of any
law, which would put the rate making
power into the hands of any commis
sion or any court. While it may be I
necessary to do that some time, while
that is done in some States at the
present time, while it is done in some
countries, I am opposed to it. The
railway rate is property. It is all the
property that the railway has got. The
rest of its property is not good for
anything unless it eau charge a rate.
Now it lins always seemed to nie that
when a rate was lixed, if that rate waa
nu unreasonable rate, it deprives the
railroad company of its property pro
tanto. It is not necessary that you
should confiscate the property of a
railroad; it is not necessary that you
should say that it shall not earn three
per cent, or four per cent. When you
put in a rate that is inherently un
reasonable, you have deprived that
company of its rights, of its property,
and the Circuit Court of the United
States has jurisdiction under the four
teenth amendment to restrain that. I
have looked at these cases a great
many times, and I can only come to the
conclusion flint a railroad compauy is
entitled to charge a fair and reasonable
rate, and if any order of a commission,
if any statute of a State Legislature,
takes away that rate, the fourteenth
amendment protects the railway com
pany."
It makes all the difference whether
your religion is the servant of your
business or your business of your re
ligion.

Mrs. Sarah Kellogg: of Denver, Color
Bearer of the Woman's Belief Corps,
Benda Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham.
The following
letter was written
by Mrs. Kellogg,
of 1628 Lincoln
Ave., Denver,
Colo.,to Mrs.Pink
ham. Lynn, Mass.;
Dear Mrs. Pinkham :
"For five years I
was troubled with a
tumor, which kept
?ks.sa^uuka SUSPENS
great mental depression. I was unable to at
tend to my house work,and life became a bur
don to me. I was confined for days to my bed,
lost my appetite, my courage and all hope.
" I could not bear to think of an operation,
and in my distress I tried every remedy which
I thought would bo of any use to me, and
reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound to sick women decided
to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I
had little hope of recovery, and when I began
to feel better, after the second week, thought
it only meant temporary relief; but to my
great surprise I found that I kept gaining,
while the tumor lessened in size.
"The Compound continued to build up my
general health and the. tumor seemed to be
absorbed, until, in seven months, the tumor
was entirely gone and I n well woman. I am
so thankful for my recovery that I ask you
to publish my lotter in newspapers, so other
women may know of the wonderful curative
powers of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound." ,
When women are troubled with irreg
ular or painful menstruation, weakness,
leucorrhrca, displacement or ulceration
of the womb, that bearing-down feel
ing, inflammation of the ovaries, back
ache, flatulence, general dcbilitj', indi
gestion and nervous prostration, they
should remember there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg
etable Compound at ouce removes such
trouble.
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali
fied endorsement. No other medicine
has such a record of cures of female
troubles. Kef use to buy any other
medicine:
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health. Address, Lynn,
Mass.
Health is too valuable to risk in ex
periments with unknown and untried
medicines or methods of treatment.
Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound thut is curing
women, and don't allow any druggist
to sell 3Tou anything else in its place.
