the name Of Great Britain. Yet

continues to employ the familiar
terms English queen, English ar

Scotland. This slight has often
been commented upon by Scotch
men, but never, perhaps more hap

At the top Of the store-keepers

grown mp in recent years in imita-
ton Of the "Boa Marche." One

Mere and Pygmalion. There are
several more. In methods these
establishments resemble in many
wars the department stores OF the
larger cities Of our own country.

The results of a cocaine inycstiga-
ton in Memphis, Tenn, are remarka-
bic. showing the hold the drug has
on negroes, Careful inquiry by sani-
tary officers shows that 50 per cent.
of all the adult negroes Of Memphis
are more or less addicted to a use of
the drug. Some negroes use it as a
mild stilnulant, but mary for its in
toHicating effect Nine out Of ten ne
rrGes arrested are cocaine users. La
borcrs and steamboat roustabouts are
greatly given to the drug. In the ne
gro district tine drug is sold in all gro
cCries as we'll as at drug stores. In
the immoral quarter all-night drug
stores give it out in great quantities

SOUTHERN GLEANINGS.
The CROWN Cotton Crop.


The statistician of the department
of agriculture, Washington, June II,
estimated the total area planted in
cotton at 25,55s, 900 acres, an increase
of 100000 acres, or 81 per cent over
the productive area of last year.
He estimates the increase at per cent.
In South Carolina and Alabama, per
cent In Texas and Georgia, per cent.
In Louisiana and Tennessee, 10 per cent,
in Indian territory, Is per cent In Okla
homa. Is per cent. in Virginia, and n per
cent in Missouri. In general, the Increase
has been restricted by scarcity OF labor
the nigh price Of seed the enlarged area
in fall-sOwn crops, and In certain sections
by exceptionally unfaYOrahle weather
conditions. Along the northern border
of the cotton belt, land from which wheat
has been harvested, is being hurtlculT
planted in cotton. but the amount Is rcl1e
lively inconsiderable and allowance has
been made for 1t in the estimate.
The average condition Of the growing
crop on June / was SIS as compared
with S57 on June / of last year. 900 at the
corresponding date in 1898, and ST., the
mean of the June averages of the last ten
years
A condition of s25 is, with pne cxeep-
ton, the lowest June condition in %
years

the lowest June condition reported from

and Georgia and Arkansas points above
their ten-year averages.
Every important section Of the nine
