DERSTAND SITUATION;
Unless the cotton farmers of the
South can be made to undrestand
the necessity of cutting- the acreage
of cotton ,and acting accordingly, the
South is in a very serious situation.
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. I

HAITI IS SCENE 1
OF VOODOOISM
#
Story of Strange Cult InteraoI
i nn 4- A II O r. n
touuy iu u. o. as ntl"
suit of Occupation
As no accurate history of Haiti
can be written without a reference
to Voodooism, the story of this
strange cult, which some authorities
say still is in practice in its most
violent form amon^ the people of
this island and others of the West
Indies, may be interesting in connection
with the recent investigation
of American occupation in Haiti,
says a bulletin from the Washington,
D. 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

some deep wood, where there will
be no interruption of the rite-;. 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.
