possible; to plant largely for food crops
and reduce the acreage In cotton, even
below that of last year. The Gotten
crop of 1899-19OO will barely reach 3,
OOO,0O bales and the average prlca
paid thus far has been z cents. But If
cur farmers go wild again, as they did
in 1898, buy every thing they can on
time, plant the whole earth in cotton,
and make a crop of eleven and one half
million bales, the country will be
ruined, almost beyond hope"

All But Thirteen Towns Have Accepted
Aid

All But Thirteen Towns Have Accepted
Aid.
Hartford, June 2.-Highway Commits
sioner Macdonald was at the capitol to-
day and made an apportionment OF the
state funds voted for the assistance OF
towns in road building or the $35O,00O
appropriated by the state for road
building, $4,000 was set aside for the
inspection of the work as it progressed,
leaving $685. 900 to be divided among the
different towns in the state.
During the year 1899 $301.000 was APP
portioned among the towns which built
state roads under state aid and super
vision, leaving about $4,000 unexpend-
ed.
Thirty-two towns have applied for
state aid this year in building their
highways and $16,125 has been appor-
toned to them. There are only thirteen
towns in the state which have not as
yet accepted state aid in building their
roads.
The commissioner has extended the
time for the thirteen remaining towns
to take advantage of the aid offered by
the state in road building, and 1t is ex
pected that they will all apply.

TO WIPE OUT DEBT.

Plymouth Church Making Heroic Eff
forts in That Direction.
At the morning service yesterday. at
Plymouth church collection was taken
for the purpose of defraying a part of
the church debt of $1,000. This debt
dates back two years ago and included
the church expenses amounting to
about $500 for each year. The all alb
sorbing question of the congregation for
the last five years has been that of
raising funds for the purchase of the
lot at the corner of Sherman avenue
and Chapel street, and later for the
erection of the handsome new church.
During the raising of the funds for the
lot and church, which by the way are
all in, the church committee overlooked
the regular church expenses until very
recently, when it was learned that about
81, 600 were ne sded to place the church on
it feet. Yesterday $3.50 of the 81 900 were
raised. This amount is indeed very en-
couraging to the church committee, as
fully two-thirds of the congregation
have yet to hand in their contribution.
1t is very probable that the required
amount will be raised by next Sunday
night.

A. M. Young has denied absolutely the
statement that the Connecticut Light

sorbed by the United Gas Improvement
company of New York and Philadelphia
and that the absorption meant great
system of trolley roads connecting Bos-

Young said;
THE United Gas Improvement COM
