IL was maze by the local DlacKsmltn at
Shreveport, La, after this model which
he carried for several years.
About 1880, however, he heard of New
Orleans cutler, Spaniard named Pedro,
who was making some knives of avon
derful kind and temper. They could be
driven through silver dollar without
damage to point or edge. Mr.. Bowie at
once availed himself of the professional
services Of this artist, who made him a
knife which was marvel OF temper and
beauty. The blade was inches long, and
blade and handle together measured 10
inches He used this weapon in 10 en-
counters, and it was in his stiffening hand
when, with six dead Mexicans about him,
showing the evidence OF his fatal skill, he
was found dead at the Alamo
Bowie's method of using the knife was
one peculiar to himself He did not hold
it in his hand with the long point down
ward, but grasped the handle as swords
man would grasp the hilt of his sword.
He always struck at the neck of his man
and aimed for the jugular and seldom
missed his coup. In the most famous OF
his battles-the one fought on Natchez Is
land an island in the Mississippi river
almost opposite the city Of Natchez-he
cut two mems heads almost off, giving
each only single sweeping blow
Bowie only weighed 140 pounds when
at his prime. :. He was quiet, soft voiced
man, who never drank nor dissipated in
any way. He possessed enormous physical
strength for his size and was as quick and
1.-THE as wildcat and as game. He was
terror to all the "hard cases" from Louis
Vile to New Orleans.
In 1885 the Methodists about Church
Hill. Miss, were holding their annual
meeting. They had been good deal dis
turbed by the crews Of rough f1atboatmen,
large number of whose boats were lying
in the river below the town. One morn
ing after service was ended number OF
the men held a meeting to decide upon the
measures to abate this trouble. Among
them the parson, who was newcomer,
noticed small man whose only peculiar
ity was pair of steely, blue ringed eyes
eyes like a cat II will attend the services
tonight, gentlemen" he said in low,
gentle voice, land will help you to settle
any difficulty that may occur. rms
seemed very satisfactory to those present,
but the clergyman somehow forgot to ask
who he was.
The evening service had begun. just as
the preacher was about giving out the sec
ond hymn a big Kentucky f1atboatman
staggered up in front of the pulpit and
gave Choctaw warwhoop. In a second
the little man had him by the collar with
his left hand, and in his right had knife,
with it's point against the boatman' 5
brawny throat. "If you say another word
or make the slightest noise, by G., I'll
drive this knife through your neck from
ear to earl" The big man trembled like
leaf and silently took a seat, while the
other, putting his knife out of sight.
Joined with great fervor in the singing OF
the HYMN. There was never quieter
meeting held than that was thereafter.

Overproductton and UndercOnsumption
the Reasons Assigned.
For the past week middhng cotton has
been bringing from to 81 cents, perhaps
the lowest point reached since the war.
Whether or not it will 60 even lower in
face of the large crop made remains to
be seen.
If only two thirds had been raised it
would bring as much money as big
Drop. This fact ought to be impressed
on the farmers. Cotton is p cents
cheaper to today than it was on the same
date last year, and che price has been
going down at corresponding rate tor
She last three years.
There is a large increase of acreage
over last year, and, therefore, it'may be
assumed that the production will go con-
siderably over 100000 bales. Not a
few farmers are holding their cotton
with the hope of obtaining better prices,
but the surest way to do this is to plant
less of the staple. Scarcity only will
increase the demand.

definitely settled, but be gave the name to
a weapon as deadly as any that has ever
been forged from steel.
Shortly after Louisiana became state
the old Spanish and French records created
a great deal of trouble. It frequently hap
pened that planter who had taken up
large tract of land and fairly opened it out
as a plantation would learn that it was
claimed by some one under an old colonial
grant. James Bowie was very frequent
claimant under these old laws, says Chi
cago Times writer Several capitalists OF
the time had sent him to Havana, where
the old papers of the Spanish colony OF
Louisiana were kept, and caused careful
transcripts of them to be made. They ap-
pointed as their agen t to put them in pos
session of these properties James Bowie.
In these early days it did not at any time
take much provocation to bring on "a per
sonal encounter" as a fight to the death
was euphoniously entitled. A man who
had been to the trouble of opening up an
estate only to find it claimed by lot OF
people he did not know was generally
pretty ready to fight for it, whether tight
would settle the question or not.

Before Mr.. Mcneil settled hers he was
driven from his home in Alabama by
the indians. His horses and cattle were
stolen and driven off, and his residence
burned to the ground. For these depre-
dations his relatives who now live near
Dawson are pressing a claim against the
government for 81, GEO. The claim is in
