profitable catches of fish during:

Big Crowd at the Reunion.
Quite a number of veterans
and others from this place attended
the reunion in Columbia last
week and all speak of the gath|
eriug as being* a most pleasant
one. The reunion c'osed Thursday
night with an entertainment
at Columbia tneatre. It was estimated
that there were 8,000
veterans in attendance Wednesbay
and about 4,000 Thursday,
which was the biggest day of
the three. The old veterans were
royally entertained and it is said
that the only complaint was with
reference to the manner of service
of meals', which was not
satisfactory, on account of a
, larger crowd of veterans being
present than had been antici;
pated.
Cotton Crop in Cad Condition.
According: to President Harvey
i Jordan, of the Southern Cotton
Association, the cotton crop is in
a very much worse condition, as
' to injury from the recent cold,
than was at first thought.
"It has been reported to me,"
said President Jordan, "that the
cotton mills around Memphis
! have shipped out $200,000 worth
of cotton seed to the farmers foi
replanting purposes.
"The price of cotton seed ol
any kind has gone up to $1.50 s
i bushel. These are the same sec<i
that the farmers sold to the mills
last vear for 20 or 22 cents 2
bushel."
As to the condition of the crop,
Mr. Jordan quotes from a lettei
written the association by President
Walter Clarke, of the Mis
| sissippi division.
In the Delta fifty per cent 01
the crop is in fair condition
twenty-five per cent will have t<
be replanted, and twenty-fivt
per cent has yet to he planted
' No planting can he done for sev
i eral days on account of the rains
1 The corn crop has also been seri
ously damaged, and the bulk ha:
already been replanted.
I Under present weather condi
tions, Mr. Clarke thinks that ai
advance in the fall months is in
' evitable, but takes little stock ii
Mr Price's statement that, he wil
put July options to sixteen cents
"It is simply a bait to catch suck
crs; and .while there may be ar
1 advance, favorable weather con
; ditions will bring about as equal
* ly a sharp decline," he says. "J
cornered market is a gambler'
game; and i hope the people o
? the South will noi be caught."
