According TO the best sources of
information. the worlds supply of
cotton in 1895 aggregated Is, 200,-
600 bales. or ,2sO, 100000 pounds.
Of the immense crop 10000, 900
bales were produced in the United
States; 10000 in India and 634.-
900 in Egypt. The remaining
bales were produced in the various
parts of the globe. In different
countries different standards of
Measurement obtain, and in no
two countries is the weight Of a
bale of cotton exactly the same.
The American bale averages $50
pounds, the Indian bale 400 pounds
and the Egyptian bale III pounds.
Some idea of the vast extent of
the worlds cotton area may be
gathered from the fact that in the
United States alone it covers over
20,O00,000 acres.
In 1880 the worlds total output
Of cotton aggregated only 636, 900.
600 pounds, or eleven times less
than in 1895. Within single de-
cade, however, the product almost
doubled, amounting in 1910 to
1892, 100000 pounds. Since that
time the worlds product has been
as follows: 1891, 100000 pounds
IN 1890; 4,O39, 100000 pounds IN
1880, and 1890, 100000 in 1895.
From there figures some idea of
the vast Importance of the cotton
plant as factor in the worlds
growth and progress may be OBJ
tained.-Ex.

A measure for the protection of
overflow sufferers was railroaded
through congress last Tuesday.
Within an hour after receiving an
appeal from the flood sufferers at
Helena, Senator Berry secured the
passage in the senate of joint
resolution directing the secretary
Of war to purchase tents and for.
ward them to the flooded districts.
Mcssrs. McCulloch and Little and
Senator Berry conferred with
Speaker Reed and in less than an
hour the measure had passed both
houses and went to President Nc
Kinley for his signature the fol-
lowing day, and in twenty-four
hours thereafter the tents were ia
service.

81 have no Information from any
body in Arkansas, or who lives in
Arkansas, that contributions are
needed for relief of flood sufferers"
This is not our idea of the up.to-
date intelligence which the chief
executive of the great State of Ar
kansas should possess.
Many hours before this .'intelll-
gence" was wired by the governor
to the st. Louis merchants ex-
change, which body sought infor-
nation from the governor and of
fered aid for the sufferers, the
wires had been kept hot, and the
daily newspapers contiguous to the
flooded districts kept full of ac-
counts of the waters terrible course
of destruction and the efforts of
steamboats, responding to the calls
of the suffering through organized
relief committees. All this, and
more too, was known by the hum
blest citizens who "pulls the bell
cord over old Beck" the artisan
who shoves the plane, the smack
eral" bootblack, and drayman
throughout the tho valleys, towns,
and cities OF the great Mississippi
valley.
Should the Legislature assem- BILE,
one of the first bills they should
rush through should be one appro-
priatlng a number Of subscriptions
to representative journals to be
mailed to the address of "the gov.
ernor."
Contrast the action Of Hon, P.
D. McCulloch, who represents the
First District of the state in con-
gress, to that Of Gov. Jones. Upon
reading the first notes of distress
which were upon the citizens of
Mississippi and Crlttenden coun.
ties, he promptly forwarded his
aid and sentiments Of sympathy to
the Relief Committee in Memphis,
in the shape of letter and a check
for 500.

The several paragraphs and the ale
cations therein contained, set forth In
the foregoing and first reason of ap-
peal, are hereby referred to and made
part of this second reason of appeal,
as if stated at full length therein.
On or about the year 1926 the invested
funds of this appellant were seriously
impaired by the failure Of the Eagle
bank of New Haven, and to make good
said impairment and carry into effect
its chartered powers, and enlarge and
increase the educational facilities of
this appellant, subscription was set
on foot which resulted in raising fund
of 100000, commonly known as the
"Centum Militia Fund" made up of
gifts, donations and voluntary contrib
utions of divers persons to this appel
liant, for the uses and purposes ex-
pressed in it's act of Incorporation.
At the May session of the general as
sembly in 1884, and after the raising of
lat. ont wv G
passed as follows, to wit:
'Be it enacted that the funds which
have been or may be hereafter granted,
either by the State of Connecticut or
given by any person or persons to the
corporation of the President and Eel
lows of Yale College in New Haven, and
by them invested and held for the use
of that institution, shall, with the In
come thereof, be and remain exempt
from taxation, provided, however, that
the said corporation shall never hold

more than $4,000, and provided also that
the private property of the officers Of
the institution shall not be exempt from
taxation"

the other buildings owned by this APP
pellant and used and occupied by It's
students as living, study and sleeping
rooms, are not, by reason Of the facts
set out in the first reason of appeal, in

ing of said act or of the provisions of
the Revised Statutes of this State, Sec
ton 1922.
| All the real estate of this appellant,
other than the items contained in the
said tax list returned and sworn to on
the 21st day of October, 1886, and ex-
cept the buildings referred to in the
preceding paragraph, as set forth in
said appeal, do not afford an annual
income of more than $4,000, and so are
exempt from taxation, within the true
intent and meaning of said act of 1884
