A LARGE CROP DESPITE CLIMATIC CoNDl- TONS CROP WILL EQUAL
 LAST YEAR.
MAJOR w. H. HAYNES
Estimates That it Will Exceed 9O0,OOO Bales-Is Much Un-
 picked in the Fields.

"The Arkansas cotton crop is She largest ever raised, said Major w. H. Haynes, agent of the Arkansas Cotton Oil Company. "This may be judged from the heavy receipts at the cotton market, despite the fact that unsatisfactory weather conditions prevented the larger farmers from saving their crop, many of them in the river valleys claiming that they have 40 to 65 per cent stil. in the field. This is one of the most remarkable crops ever produced in Arkansas, aad would have been a world-beater but for the climatic conditions preventing It's being saved. l estimate the to- tai for the South will go away be- yond 10, 000,00 bales. The Arkan- sas total, even admitting losses in the fields, will about equal that of last year, which was something over 900,0 GOO bales. The seed crop this year has been of less value because of it's quality than any within my knowledge the last twenty-five years, a great deal of it damaging in the boil before the cotton was picked out of the field. Prices in consequences have ruled low at all mill points. Had it been possible for all the seed and cotton grown to have been placed on the market, it is interesting to surmise what the result would have been. ."-Arkansas Dem ocrat.

 One of the freaks of fashion apropos of the dismemberment of China, is to have the house plentffully supplied with broken dishes. The lady of the kitchen is usually charged with the duty of supplying these, with very gratifying results.

 CHRISTMAS.
Quitely Celebrated in This City
 Sunday.

Christmas was quietly celebrated in this city Sunday. There were the usual Sabbath services at all the churches by their respective pas tors, except at the Presbyterian church, where the pulpit was filled oy the Rev. c. H. Mauly in the ab- sence of the regular pastor, Rev. J. L. Caldwell. The mild and beauti- ful Christmas weather served to bring out large congregations at the morning services, but the even ing services were poorly attended.
 Trinity Episcopal Church gave a Christmas tree in the Withers build ing Saturday night, and the Bap- tist Sunday school scholars will be given a unique entertainment at their church Tuesday evening.
 If any of the other congregations had any special celebration, we have not been advised of It.

SUGAR CONSUMERS.
MARITIME PEOPLE SEEM TO EXCEL IN
 ITS CONSUMPTION.

England Is the First in Sugar Consumption
 Because She Leade as n Maritime Pow
 er-The Sugar Producing Countries Do
 Not Consume Much of their Product
 The sugar crop of the world amounts in a normal year to about 8,000,000 tons, of which the larger part, 4,500,000 tons, comes from beets, and the bale ance, 3,500.000 tons. from sugar cane. Of the latter the largest proportion comes from the West Indies. and 6 large amount from the Island of Java. Among the countries producing beet sugar, Germany comes first, with about one-third of the worlds crop; then Austria, with about as much, and then France Russia and Belgium and Hol- land together, with substantially the same quantity.
 In respect of the production of beet sugar in the United States there has been a vast inerease since the estab- lishment of the Mckinley tariff of 1890. The year previous the American prod uet was 2,S00 tons. Two years later it was 12,000 tons. Four years later It was 20,000 tons. Last year it was 43,- GOO tons, and the pyoduet is on the in~ 1 crease The McKinley tariff establish l ed, between July l. 1891, and July l, | 1895, a bounty to be paid by the United l States government Go sugar producers, with view of stimulating the industry and compensating those engaged in 1t l for the changes made In the duty upon | imported sugar.
 Among scientists the opinion has been general that moderate amount of sugar, like moderate amount of salt, should enter into the dietary of
 the people of each nation, but is only l when the figures of the consumption of sugar are examined that 1t is seen that
 the quantity consumed varies radically
 and it is curious fact that in those
 countries in which the maritime spirit l the spirit of navigation, commerce,
 travel and colon.zation--is strong, there is a very onsiderable consump
 tion of sugar per capita, whereas in
 those countries in which these quali-
 ties are not predominant among the
 inhabitants the consumption Is smaller.
 In England, first among the maritime
 nations of the world, the consumption
 of sugar Is S5 pounds year for each
 inhabitant. In Denmark 1t Is 45. in
 Holland 31, in France 30. and in Nor-
 way and Sweden 25, whereas in Rus-
 sia 1t Is only 10 in Italy T, in Turkey T,
 in Greece 6, and Servia 4. The con-
 sumption of sugar seems to have very
 little connection with or relation to
 the production of sugar, for in Aus
 tria, the sugar product of which is large, the average consumption Is only
 19 pounds, while in Switzerland, in which there is no production to speak of, it is A. And another curious phase . of the matter Is that there is great disparity in the consumption of sugar ] in the two tea-drinking countries 3 England and Russia. The large
 amount of sugar consumed in France l is attributed, in part, to the fact that l the French confectioners and candy 9 makers, and more especially those do- ing business in the city of Paris, use e n their trade enormous quantities oi n sugar in a year, adding abnormally to : the average consumption of sugar in
 the French republic.
