The statistics OF the cotton crop o
India, which, we published on auothe,
page, furnished much food for thought
for the Southern cotton plartsr, and to
our mind admits Of only one conclusion
rs to its import. 1t discloseu tho fact
that the production of cotton in India
has more than doubled since 1879, and
that It's value is now $7S, 1926 seems
to us to prove beyond question that tho
South caunot expect to obtain market
for the cotton crop of this country
abroad at paying prices Tor any manufac.
ture except fiuo fabrics. We cannot
compete with India labor, which is abun.
dant, cheap and reliable, Will, our labor
Is uncertain and much higher in price.
The figures chow that about eighty mill.
Ion dollars il now going for India cotton,
and by producing such quantities OF
cotton In the South we bring our fine
grade of staple, which India cannot pro.
duce, almost to the level Of the Indis
cotton. If we could restrict the produc-
ton in the United States the price Of the
fuo grade cottons would go up, for India
cannot produce them, and tho demand
would stimulate the price. Therefore,
by making better profit tho Southern
farmer would make more clear money.
Cotton ought 10 be the Southern surplus
crop. II we would only live OF home,
instead Of buying all that we consume
from the North and West, the South
would rapidly become rich. BY making
our own supplies and raising cotton and
tobacco for sale the Southern planter
would rapidly emerge from state of
almost hopeless dependence to position
of prosperity and affluence which has
hitherto been uudreamed of. The planters
of the South generally admit this, but
the trouble is to secure unity of action in
the matter. 1t is probable that 1t will
require number of years to induce our
people to act upon the theory they admit.
In the meantime the prosperity of the
South will be checked by the short. sight.
ed system which prevails. The indiyid.
uals who change frat will prosper most.
Cotton should only be surplus crop.

question amongst scientific men what causes

as the result of confinement and inaction, others
suppose " to be caused by the decay of vegeta.

INCREASING THE WATER SUpppIy-
Major Lydecker.s Report for October.
DAMAGE AT GREAT FALLS BY THE FLOOD
THE TUNNEL EXPLOSION. ETC.

Major Lydecker, in his report to the chief of
engineers of the operations for increasing the
water supply of Washington during the month
OF October, states that work on the dam at
Great Falls was carried on, but the stormy
weather throughout the month interfered ma.
serially with its progress. On the 29th only
about dozen stones were required to complete
the gap in the Virginia channel ND to the
coping. but the storm on that night, and the
resulting high water, put a sudden stop 10 all
operations. In addition, the Golfer dam was
broken down, track swept away, scows carried
over the dam and down the river. derricks over.
turned, cars, wheelbarrows and much other
property lost or damaged. Some of the last
stones placed in the Virginia channel gap were
swept away. There remains yet to be finished
the gap in tile Virginia channel about 900 feet
OF coping in the Virginia channel, about 200 feet
of coping on the old dam, and a small amount of
masonry and coping about the head wall of the
dam, all of which it is hoped TO finish in No
vember.
Work was carried on in excavation in six
headings OF the tunnel during October. A pre-
mature explosion in the east Foundry branch
heading, October 23d, instantly killed James
Mcdonald. and fatally injured Jos. Nicholson
and more less injured several other men.
The distance to be eXcavafed to connect the
east heading Of Rock creek shaft with the
Champlain avenue heading is SO feet. Connec-
ton will probably be made about the middle of
November. The total length OF tunnel eXca-
waited TO October. 81 was Il, O56 feet, leaving
1868 feet to be excavated.
owing to frequent rain storms, the progress of
the work on the reservoir was very much re-
tarded. During November work will proceed
on all parts of the reservoir.

Poker in n Club Room.

"A n
THE CRIMINAL COURT.
The jury in the Criminal Court yesterday in
accordance with the instructions of Judge Mac.
Arthur, rendered verdict of not guilty in the
case OF William MeCaffray, who was charged
with knowingly permitting gaming table to
be set up in premises under his control. The
defendant was the proprietor of a cigar store on
7th street, which was raided by the police, who.
it was charged, found several persons in a rear
room playing poker. McCaffray claimed that
the paraphernalia belonged to the Olympia
club, an incorporated organization, which reg
ularly met there for 'literary purposes and pur-
poses OF mutual Improvement" The expenses
II appeared, were paid out of "toll' taken from
stakes during games: Judge Macarthur, in
charging the jury, said that he thought but
little OF the certificate of incorporation but that
apart from it, there seemed to be a club which
met for social purposes and played cards. and
that no one was admitted 10 the place OF meet
the club, and that it was not public gaming
place within the meaning OF the act The
court also referred to places well known where
clubs have restaurants and means of refresh
social purposes. He said that men Of the class
of the members Of the club in the case on trial
were not able to maintain large and expensive
establishments. He reiterated the previous
ruling of the court, that a gaming place of the
kind prohibited by the act was one which was
open to the public, and not one restricted to
certain individuals forming a social organiza-
ton.
