A New Cotton Country

Cotton growing is assuming large dimen-
sions In the Central Asiatic provinces of Rus
sia, reaching yearly at present more than
50,O00,000 kiIogrammes, which is partly util-
lied in local Industries and partly finds its
way to Russia, which again returns con-
siderable proportion in the shape OF cotton
fabrics At the northern boundary of the cot
ton zone in Turkestan. the valley of the river
Arys is usually taken; but also in the region
around Tashkent considerable quantity OF
cotton is grown, which ripens about October.
In these regions the American cotton also
fourishes; yet in spite OF repeated attempts
TO introduce its culture, it has made but little
headway. Still better than the cotton OF
Tashkent and Kojend is the Bokharian cot
ton, which, by careful attention to the plan
tations, is said to approach the American
kinds in quality. The largest crops of cotton
northern cities of the Turkestan region.

APPROACHING A VERDICT.
The Evidence Closed in the Ohisolm Muir
der Trial-Arguments Of Counsel.

DEKALB, Miss, Sept. 11.--At 4 o'clock p. 70.
yesterday the sick juryman In the Gully
murder case expressed himself as feeling we'll
enough to listen to evidence for an hour or
two.
The defense introduced q number OF wit
nesses to prove the character of the defen-
dant. The defense closed It's case at :35 yes
terday afternoon. This morning the jury
retired for short time to make an examina-
tfon Of the jail In which the murder was COM
mltted. Upon their return the prosecution
introduced one witness In rebuttal Ct. 4. Lin
coin, former sheriff. to prove that the lock on
the door at the head Of the stairway In the
jail had been changed since the shooting oc-
CURED.
At 10 a. m. the evidence was all In and argu-
ment was opened for the prosecution by Dis
trict Attorney Ford, wins was followed by
Thomas I'll. Woods, of Meridian, and L. M.
Meeks, Of Columbus, Miss, for the Defense
and by Judge Joshua y. Morris, OF Vicksburg,
who made the closing argument for the prose-
cution. Counsel we're limited to two hours on
each side. In outlining the case for the State
the district attorney summed up Gil the facts
In the evidence going to show q conspiracy
on the part Of defendant and others TO murder
Chisolm, as O. result OF which Cornelia
Chisolm was killed. These facts consisted
principally OF the actions on the part of citi-
zeils at the burial OF John w. Gully the even
ing before the killing OF Chsolm, together
with the declarations made by defendant and
others on that day.
Argument for the defense UP to this hour
has been forcibly presented. The case has
not yet been given to the jury. Col. Meeks is
now speaking for the defense. 1t has always
been the practice In this district for the dis
trict attorney to close for the State, but he
to Judge Morris. This departure from the
usual practice has created some comment
among those attending the trial.
The jury will retire shortly.
