NEW YORK, June 10. Several persons
who had refused to answer the census
questions were arraigned before Com

the trouble was showed to have been
due to misapprehension, and the pris-

the questions before the commissioner.
In few cases the prisoners were held

of recalcitrants will be arraigned to-mor-

THE COTTON CROP.
AN INCREASE OF ACREAGE IN
NEARLY EVERY STATE.

Fair Prices Stimulating the Planting.
The Effect of the Floods and Over
flows in Some States...The Crop
Blooming in the Far South.
[By United Press.l
WASHINGTON, June 1O.-The statisti-
cal returns for June to the department
of agriculture show an increase of acre
age in cotton in nearly every State. The
area, as compared with acreage Of 1889,
is reported in this preliminary avestiga-
tion as follows:
Virginia, SO: North Carolina, 1902:
South Carolina, 1903; Georgia, 102; Flor
ida, 1o3; Alabama, 1902; Mississippi, 1os;
Louisiana, s5; Texas, 1O5; Arkansas, 80;
Tennessee, 100; average, 102; average
condition, 88.s. The percentage Of
Virginia is 30; North Carolina, 90; South
Carolina, 81; Georgia, "a; Florida, 90;
Alabama, 90; Mississippi, IS; Louisiana,
"a; Texas, "a; Arkansas, IS; Tennes-
see, 81. The fair price prevailing with
low prices for other products stimulates
the extension of planting. The over
flows in Arkansas and Louisiana delayed
planting in those States and prevented
the increase which otherwise would have
been made. There are locations where
replanting to perfect stands injured by
cold nights is still continued, and will
be, Ill extreme cases, to the 10Th of
June. Stands are generally very good
in the Carolinas with exceptions in low
areas where frost or cool nights have
destroyed plants. In the Mississippi
valley and IN Texas heavy rains and To-
cal floods and inundations have
caused an unusual amount of re-
planting and on the Mississippi and
other great rivers delay of planting un-
til the waters recede. In such cases the
seed has been dropped in the mud and
the plants lave appeared promptly some
times in four days from planting. Ex-
cept on the Atlantic coast the excess OF
rain has retarded chopping out and cul.
tivation, leaving the crop somewhat
grassy, though recent fine weather has
done much to secure clean cultivation.
In more southern ATTITUDES the plants
are beginning to bloom. While the en-
tire breadth as rule is late. the plants
are healthy and growing rapidly.

(By United Press.)
NEW ORLEANS, La, June 10.-In the
House of Representatives at Baton
Rouge yesterday the Louisiana State
Lottery bill was introduced and went
over until to-day, under the rules. A
careful canvass of the House yesterday
shows the following: Pro-lottery, g.;

will be seen that the lottery needs only
four of the two thirds vote in the House
which it already has in the Senate.

Grave Complaints I Against German
Missionaries.
[By United Press.l


LONDON, June 10.-Advices by mail
from south Australia contain indignant
protests against the high-handed con-
duct of German missionaries on the
northern ports of Australia in their
alleged efforts to inculcate Christianity.
These complaints declare that the ma
tives are subjected to outrageous treat
ment, many of them being chained to
posts and whipped into state of insen-
sibility, while others are maltreated in
other ways, necessitating resort to med
ical treatment to heal their hurts. These
acts Of brutality, it is asserted, are COM
mitted by the orders of the missionaries
with the object Of impressing the natives
with the power of the Christians.

Watkins Sermon Before the Grad.

Especial Cor. STATE CHRoNIcLE.)
Baccalaureate Sunday at Davidson
College dawned full of sunshine and
brsezes. Commencement weather is
proverbially hot, but if the week fulfls
the promise of its opening, we can al
most dispense with fans and ice cream.
Saturday evenings train was crowded
with visitors, and the town is already
astir with the social gayety and the
spirit of general hospitality and merry
making which characterize commence
ment week. The Baccalaureate sermon
was preached by Rev. G.. B. Strickler,
D. D., of Atlanta, to the graduating
class in the handsome church, built five
years ago in the southwest corner of the
campus. Long before the church bell
rang the streets were alive with junior
and senior beavers. Even the Freshmen
caught the contagion, forgot for the mo-
ment their struggles with Newcomb and
Olney, and escorted ''calico" to church
with zeal and pleasure born of long
deprivation.
The graduating class numbering H.,
sat in semi-circle just in front of the
pulpit. DR.. Strickler's text was Psalms
cxix-18, Open Thou mine eyes that l
may behold wondrous things out Of Thy
law. On the pulpit platform were Rev.
Chalmers Moore, class of '84, Rev. W.
w. Pharr, class of '53, DR.. j. s. Wat
kins, of Raleigh, and the pastor, Rev. R.
F. Campbell. DIR. Strickler is man of
striking appearance and decided oratori-
cal power, and a clear and forcible
thinker. His address on the "Wonders
of the Law" was most powerful and i'm
pressive ssrmon, and for an hour held
the close attention of a crowded house.
His closing appeal to educated young
men to value, revere, and teach to 9TH
ers the Word of God was peculiarly ef-
fective.
At night DR.. J. S. Watkins, of Raj
eigh, delivered the annual sermon be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Associa-
tion. DR.. Watkins text was a double
one-I John, ii:14: 81 have written unto
you, young men, because ye are strong;''
and Phil, iv:13: 81 can do all things
through Christ, which strengthened me. p"
The sermon was peculiarly suitable to
the occasion and the audience. He dis
cussed the naturalness and right of a
love of power, its perils and limitations.
the benefits of sanctified ambition,
the com parative value and dignity OF
different kinds of power; the source OF
the highest Of all forms of power, i. g.
moral and spiritual, found in Christ; the
elements of Christian power, faith, single
ness of aim, enthusiasm and prayer; the
great need of rightly used POWER in oul
social, political, civil and religious worlc
to day. 1t was an inspiring and eloquen
address, good example of power of {,
high order consecrated to noble pur
pose.
Prof. Maclean, the director of tn
