BEcALMED COMING AND GOING
HIS SHIP SAILED TUESDAY AND
 IS STILL OFF PORT.

Captain Williams of the British ship Matterhorn has not a very great opinion of our California winds. He says they are always light when good breeze Is deslr- able or blowing a gale in the wrong direc- ton. The Matterhorn was off the Golden Gate for several days before she got close enough in for a tug to pick her up and tow her in, and again, much against the captains will she is off the Farallones.
 The Matterhorn is chartered to load wheat at Portland, Or, for Europe. Af- ter discharging here she took in ballast and last Tuesday morning was lowed out to the nine fathom buoy. A light breeze took the ship out over the bar and then it fell light. All Tuesday night and yes terday morning the Matterhorn drifted about close to the lightship, and then an- other breeze took her out to the Faral- lones. She will probably remain in that vicinity until wind from the south comes along and carries her up the coast.
 The incoming pilots report that a heavy mortimer has been blowing off shore. A heavy swell is rolling in, and the pilot boats America and Oracle s got the ben eft of it yesterday. The Australia from Honolulu and the Belgic from Hongkong via Yokohama and Honolulu are both little behind time, and the chances are that the mortimer is responsible for the trouble.
 Another attempt will be made to raise the steamer J. D. Peters to-day. Chains will be passed under the hull and made fast to lighters at low water, As the tide rises it will take the lighters with 1t and, it is hoped, the Peters also. The wrecked vessel will then be pushed up on the mud by the tugs and after her bulkheads have been made watertight she will be pumped out.
 The Pacific Mail Company's steamer Colon arrived from Panama and Central American ports yesterday. She brought up six cabin and four steerage passen- gers, and thirty-one Chinese en route for China. Among the cabin passengers was F. Murota, the Japanese Minister to Central America, and his secretary, z. Omare.

COTTON GROWERS DISCOURAGED

Reports from many sections through- out the State indicate that there will be . material decrease in the acreage of cotton next year. Farmers are very much discouraged with the returns from their crops, and they are IooKlng about for other crops to take the place of cotton on their farms. Especially IS this the case in Laurens and Jackson counties, in which many farmers nave been disappointed with the crop returns of this year. They say they cannot raise Accent cotton and live at home. and that it Is necessary for them to get crops which will furnish them more money and reduce the expense of their living. An immense acreage Of wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and cane will take the place of cotton on many farms Tn those counties. This step is not con- fined to a particular class of farmers, but those who run from one to forty mules have signified their intentions to reduce the cotton acreage ana pianl more of those crops which sustains life.

Friends Did Not Recognize Me Face So Swollen and Hideous. Three Doctors Could
 Not Relieve.
CURED IN 2 WEEKS BY CUTICURA

I have suffered with a case of Eczema Of the worst kind, my face and neck down to my shoulders were one inflammation, was not able to see out of my eyes for quite while, and was unable to sleep for weeks, on account of the severe pain, which nearly drove me in- sane. My face and neck were swollen and made me look hideous. I hardly recognized myself in a mirror, and my friends would not have known me, only on account of my clothes and carrying myself.
 Three doctors, of good practice, at different times were attending me, and not one of them could relieve me of my pain, swelling, and blotches. I gave all up. A friend advised me to try CUTICURA REMEDIES. I did, and there was immediately q great change, my shoulders and neck turning to their natural color. used three bottles of CUTIcURA RE- SOLVENT, four boxes CUTIcURA (ointment), three cakes of CUTICURA SOAP, and my friends and one of the doctors are surprised, and asked "Who cured you?" and tell them quickly "CUTIcURA REMEDIES" J.
