Jackson had occasion to censure ca
det who had given, as he believed, the
wrong solution Of problem. On think
ing the matter over at home he found
that the pupil was right and the teacher
wrong. 1t was late at night and in the
depth of winter, but he Immediately
started off to the institute, some distance

himself to his astonishment the recipient
of a frank apology "Stonewall

BERLIN, March 5.-Tho semi-Official
Berliner Post, in a strong article, again
begs the anglophobia press to discon-
tinue the practice of abusing British
statesmen and generals and British en-
terprises generally, declaring that "this
does more harm than some may sup

The Post asserts, on the authority Of a
private letter from the Transvaal, re-
ceiyel at Hamburg, that the Boer re-
publics, on Jan. 10, had issued alto
gether 46, standardization cards to Beers
in the field.
The writer of the letter claims that

S. c. Cotton Crop 100 900 Bales Short

Atlanta. Special.-A special to The
Constitution from Columbia, S. c..
says: South Carolina crops have slf-
fered disastrously from the not spell
combined with the drought. Recently
few local showers have fallen over
very limited areas, but otherwise there
has been no rain in August. Some FAR
mcrs estimate the cotton yield has
been reduced 10 per cent, but only al
fowing a loss of IL per cent. on an
average yield On the acre'ge planted,
the loss will be 100000 bales, or S4,-
O00. 900. The loss on other crops, sugar
cane, late corn and hay will make the
total over $1,000 0.0G0. Unless there are
general rains within a very few days
the drought will become a disaster.
Cotton fielGs are as white as they gen.
orally are late in September, but over
half the bolls that are showing the
white are unmatured, being burst open
by the heat, ard the lint is without
value. Many Of the plants are dying,
the leavfs drying up and falling OF.
and no more blossoms are coming.
Nothing can save the farmers from the
loss already sustained. but rains would
start the plants to blcssomirg again
and late frosts would permit the new
boils formed to mature.

It is said that the nut trees Of the
world alone could. if necessity should
arise, provide food all the year round
for a total population three times
greater than the present. 1t has been
pointed out to the Washington De-
jpartment of Agriculture that Brazil
nuts around Para grow in such profus-
lion that thousands of tons Of them are
wasted every year; with cocoanuts it
is the same in many centers. Nuts
ground in various ways are rapidly
coming into favor. and it is predicted
that in the near future nut floor will
compete successfully with wheateD
