PaIatka Journal Near the head OF Salt
Springs big bear was killed one day last
week He was courageous beast. Without
the slightest fear or ceremony he entered the
enclosure OF Mr.. Joyner and coolly dragged of
one OF his largest hogs. This was early in the
morning Mr.. JOyner rallied his neighbors and
their dogs. and followed in pursuit. They did
not 90 far before they discovered Bruin eating
the dead hog The baying of the hounds did
not disturb him in the least When the hun
ters came up they persuaded the dogs to tackle
him, but one or two swipes Of Bruins huge
paw soon satisfied them that that was no game
TO play. The bear crushed the bones OF the
dogs like dry sticks. Two OF the dogs are dis
abled for life. The bear was killed, but only
when the guns were loaded with slugs. Messrs
Fountain, Joyner. Dill4rd and Driggers, who
were engaged in the hunt, report the bear the
largest and strongest one they ever saw"

LONDON, October 3.-The Pail Mall Gazette
sketches a draft of land bin for England,
which has been finally considered by
special committee of the Farmers ALI
ance to-day. The bill aims at
the establishment and complete security
for the capital of farmers, and entire
immunity from cspricious eviction, the right
Of the tenant to sell Improvements in open
market, with provisions that the landlord
must accept the purchaser as a tenant for
seven years, and at the same rent as that Of
the outgoing tenant, and the creation of a
land court in every district for the settle
ment of questions concerning rents and all
other disputes.
The Gazette thinks this suggestive, and
says: off the draft is supported by ma
jOrity of the farmers throughout the coun-
try, and is vigorously used as a means of
agitating for reform, the day when Parlia-
meat must vote urgency for an English

Prince Krapotkine, the Russian Nj
hilist, is almost s8 years old, and belongs
to one of the Oldest and noblest families
of the empire. Although bred in luxury
he broke the tradition of his caste and
voluntarily became one of the people.
From his 18th year he devoted himself
to the study of the sciences, and made
himself famous as a scientist. He was
not known as Socialist or red republi-
can until in 1877, to the amazement of
his countrymen, he was arrested and
thrown into dungeon. He escaped,
however, after a few months confne-
ment, and went to Geneva, when he
threw off the mask and wrote and
worked indefatigably in the Aihilist
cause. To-day he is one of the recog-
nized leaders of all who form that party.

OUR GREAT STAPLE.
CONDITION OF THE COTTON CROF
''Bradstreet's'' Special RepOrt-Com-
parisOns with Last Years Yield
Latest Estimates as TO Quality and
Quantity of the Yield.

From a special report to Bradstreet
from S35 correspondents, covering 500
counties in the cotton growing States,
the condition and prospects of the crop,
based on the yield, are shown in the fol-
lowing table, which gives the actual
average condition of the crop as com
pared with last year at the same time,
and the average for the whole country
Below last year, per cent.-North
Carolina and Virginia, 10; South Caro-
lima, 1913; Georgia and Florida, 28.8;
Alabama, BAT; Mississippi, 2S.6; Lou
isiana, 30. 6; Texas, 80 4; Arkansas. 54.8
Tennessee, 1862. Average for cotton
belt, 345. Last months report indi-
Gated condition of q per cent below
that of the last year. No allowance has
been taken for the increased acreage
planted; hence, during the month ended
September 18th, the crop seems to have
been injured some II per cent 1t is
very possible that under the depressing
influence of the damage actually done to
the crop some correspondents have over
estimated it, and that the actual outturn
of the crop will be somewhat larger than
these figures indicate. 1t is evident, how
ever, that the crop has been very seri-
ously injured, and must fall considerably
short of that of last year. Even with
the most favorable fall weather, and
full allowance being made for in
creased acreage planted, it should
be understood that no estimate is given
of the final outturn of the clop. The
grade of the crop, as far as it is gathered,
is reported to be very good, though from
some localities there are complaints of
the staple being poor. From North
Carolina, parts of South Carolina and
Alabama, there are also complaints of
some cotton having been injured by the
rain, but as a rule our advices are that
the rains were gentle and did little in
jury. With favorable weather for next
month the crop should be fine one
in quality and show a great improve
ment on the last years growth in
amount of waste from damaged cotton.
Mail advices summarized above have
been supplemented by numerous special
kilograms from important points
throughout the cotton growing region.
These have borne on the condition of the
plant between September 10, the date of
mail returns, to September %, giving the
state of the weather, etc.. thus bringing
the report as whole down to the last
mentioned day. The general effect of
telegraphic advices is to SLIGHTLY miti-
gate the serious outlook, leaving it high
lY probable that with favorable weather
this fall an increased gain, even though
small, may be looked for.

afterwards. The negroes were arrested,
