The Condition of Cotton.

The monthly report of the statis-
tician of the department of agricul-
ture shows the average condition of
cotton on September 1 to have been
oS.2, as compared with &c on August
1, 1900, 6S.5 on September 1, 1899.
's.S at the corresponding date in 1895,
ana 7do, the mean of September av-
erages of the last ten years. Except
In Mississippi, where there is no ap-
preciable change in condition, there
mas been a decline during August
throughout the entire cotton belt.
The loss amounts to points in Ok
lahoma, in Alabama and Florida. 4
In Virginia, in Texas, in Louisiana,
In Georgia, 13 in Tennessee, IA in
South Carolina, Is in North Carolina.
Is In Arkansas, 10 in Indian Territory,
and 20 in Missouri.
AS compared with September /, 1899,
present conditions are less favorable
in North Carolina, South Carolina,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Tennessee to the extent of Q, 6. 12,
Is, and IL points, respectively, and
more favorable in Texas, Arkansas,
Indian territory and Oklahoma to the
extent of 16, 3, 10 and Is points, re-
spectively.
In Georgia the general condition on
September l corresponded as closely
as it was possible to estimate it to
what it was an September l of last
year.
The condition in the different states
on September was as follows: Vir-

Receiver for . Big Corporation.
The Tunis Lumber Co., of Norfolk,
Baltimore and North Carolina, has
been placed in the hands of receiver
by the United States court at Nor
folk, Va. The company is one of the
largest concerns in the lumber trust,
officially known as the North Carolina
Pine association. They cut and man
ufacture at Norfolk enormous quan.
titles of North Carolina yellow pine
and own 10000 acres of standing pine
in North Carolina. Their liabilities
arc about $500,0o0; capital, $500, 900;
have assets aggregating $4,000, 900
The receivership is the result of the
refusal of the trade to take lumber
at the advanced prices made by the
trust, and the accumulation of q
great stock of lumber 1t was resort

RUNNING A FURNACE.
Facts Which, IL known, viii Save %
Housewife Much Trouble,

\ whole winters annoyance may
be saved by coming to thorough I'M
Outstanding of the furnace and It's
workings. No matter how good the
help" in other directions, the house
wife should understand the know
how" Of furnace management, and in
sist upon certain rules being carried
out, II the house is to be kept at the
proper temperature with the least labor
and the greatest saving of fuel, says
the Baltimore Herald.
The furnace fire should be shaken
down and rakcd perfectly clear in the
morning. \ few sbovelfuls of coal
should put on and all the drafts opened.
The ashes should then he taken up.
As soon as the coal begins to burn
well and the fire looks clear at the bot.
tom, put In enough coal To come almost
to the top of the iirepot. Keep the
drafts open until all the gas has burned
off; then close them, and later If the
tire be too hot, open the checks,
Except in extremely cold weather,
this Is all the attention that ought to
be necessary through the day.
The fire must be raked down and
fresh coal put on in the evening but Il
small amount of coal will answer for
the night, unless the drafts have been
open the greater part of the day.
ON an extremely cold day It may be
necessary to have the drafts open IL
part of the time, ana some coal put ON
at noon.
All the clinkers should be removed
when the fire Is mked down in the
morning. The water pan should be re-
plenished in the morning.
Some careless people leave the ashes
for days at time at the bottom of tho
furnace, where they absorb the heat,
robbing the house of its share and
often burning out the crate.
II the furnace fire be allowed to burn
to white heat 1t will be ruined for
that day, unless some coal be put on o
little later.
The cOld-alr boxes must admit enough
air to drive the hot air through tho
house, but not more than can be heated.

WITH THE KIDS.
Everything Coming Their Way Since They
Started to Play Ball.

Manager Hapkey and the Langdon
Junior base ball nine started in this week
to play series of five games with the
neighb BRING towns. The first game was
played at Cavalier on Monday when the
kids, who are looked upon as invincibles
got turned down to the time Of 8 to l3: in
game that reached here Langdon boys
had s runs piled up at the end OF the
third innings and Cavalier none. Then
the boys started chewing the rag, CAV
lier, however, going ahead playing ball,
with 13 runs to the good while Langdon
failed to score run from the third inning
to the close of the game. There's some
talk of the boys going back to Cavalier
to pick upthat game before coming home.
We hope they will. When Hankey's
colts reached Crystal the next day, Tues
day, they had got over their scrapping
notion and played ballright. The phone
tells us the game was errorless and the
score kept down tot to 9. Langdon
won and Hankey says his small men all
worked like machines, Yesterday they
played Grafton and though this is one of
the towns where they expected to fall
down the news danced over the wire
that the umpires indicator showed Lang
don bad the big end of score of t7 to 16.
To- day the. boys play game in Park
River and it planr formed last nj ight were
projected party of local "rooters went
down on the freight this morning to
make 'em feel good and pick up little
Park River money. The end of the
schedule laid down will be reached to-
morrow at Milton and as they have won
something like half a dozen games from
the Milton nine already this season it
ought to be easy. In the opinion OF
many the boys will turn around from
Milton and go back to Cavalier wind up
their succession of winnings by picking
up the game that they lost on the start
off, which will enable them to come home
with what they started after-the scalp
of every junior organization in the north
ern part OF the state.

A SERIOUS CHARGE.
Olga Parties Violate the State Health Law
in Local Small :Pox Cases.

DR.. S. G. Gibson, the county health
officer drove over to Olga on Monday
forenoon IN response to complaint made
that cases of small pox were known to
have afflicted Two families in that local.
ity where no notification of their exist
ence had been made to the county health
authorities. On investigation DR.. Glib
son found that the families Of LaPierre
and Dedier each had been subjected to
the scourge of the loathsome disease and
in both instances had failed to notify
either the local doctors or the health
authorities of the county of their ex-
istence. In the case of the La Pierre
family eight passed through the different
stages OF the disease and ultimately re-
covered without medical aid. In the
Dedier household there were five cases,
all having reached the onvalescentstage
before Dr.. Gibson was apprised Of their
existence. Both cases we're thoroughly
inquired INTO, the premises disinfected
and bedding and other property that en-
dangered contagion destroyed. A quar-
antine was considered expedient at the
Deider home. The neglect to notify the
health authorities in cases Of small pox,
or other contagious diseases 10 viola
tiop Of the laws OF the state and heavy
penalties are inflicted.

ton has been one Of the most revolu-

ton has been one of the most revolu-
stionary occurrences Of recent times.
Two incompatible demands are now
made on our streams and other bodies
OF water; first. that they serve as the
source from which we take our drink
ing water, and second that they serve
as sewers TO carry away the drainage
of the numerous cities upon their
8banks. More and more frequently have
sdisputesa risen from these antagonistic
uses. Law suits TO prevent the pollu-
ion of our streams by our municipali-
ties are now frequent in our courts.
Laws have been passed by our more
progressive states to regulate or pre-
vent the pollution Of their streams.
Tin one STATE tNew Jersey sever
age commission has been created which
has been given almost absolute power
to prevent the pollution OF the streams.
We also note that many sewage puri-
4tication plants have recently been con-
structed in the United States. Altho
practically nothing was done In this
line before 1885, already eighty-two
such plants are upon the writer's list
which moreover is not exhaustive.
:
When the villages and cities of the
middle west come to look for suitable
outlets for their sewerage systems they
will not find at hand the numerous
sparen -ial streams which have been
available in the esatern states. Over
large portions of the middle west few
streams of any size exist. and those
available are often dried up for consid-
cradle portions of the average year. To
attempt to discharge sewage into such
a ditch will be TO create an elongated,
open cess-pool which cannot help being
a public nuisance. Figure, l. shows
such an outlet more vividly than il can
{ be described. In the case Illustrated
the small stream has no water except
the sewage flowing into 1t. for consid-
cradle portions of the year, and within
two years after the construction of the
sewer outlet. ii had reached the condi-
ton shown in the engraving. There are
many other cases where the same state
of affairs already exists. It Is evident
that in such case sewage publication
work ought to be planned for from the
very etart. II the sewerage system is
not planned from the fret 30 that the
requirements of the future can be prop
erly met. it may afterwards prove im-
possible to correct the mistakes.
Already number of publication
plantf have been constructed In the
middle west.
