reports from the ships showed that the alt

men not eating oatmeal. and for the same
reason they did not relish the cocoa made
simply out of hot water. There were ether
reasons for adding milk to the ration. and
this recommendation is included II the re-

TO MEET OTHER GOVERNORS.

Governor Tyler left on his long planned
New York trip at noon yesterday.
He goes to the metropolis on private
business, which may detaln him there for
a week or ten days. He has been
arranging to go for some time, but
could not leave until he disposed OF all
the matters growing out of the extra ses-
sion of the Legislature. There was lit
lie business transacted in the executive
office yesterday, nothing Of special inter-
est remaining unattended to. The Gov
error stated before leaving that it was
possible he might attend the inauguration
Of President Mckinley on his way back
from New York, as he had been urgently
invited and was anxious to do so if pos
Slble.
Mr.. N. T. Thompson, secretary of the
Southern Industrial Society. has written
Governor Tyler. urging him to attend the
inaugural ceremonies in Washington on
the 4th of March. The Governors OF
Louisiana and Mississippi and possibly
several other Southern States will be
there, and it is desired that Governor
Tyler join them. Mr.. Thompson reiter-
ates the suggestion made by Colonel
A. Is. Mcclure. Of Philadelphia, while
recently in New Orleans. that nothing
would prove of greater value to the
South at this time, from a material point
of view, than for the southern Governors
to attend the approaching inaugural .cere-
monies at Washington in body. Cow
ernor Tyler hopes to be able to attend
the inaugural.

upland and sea island. among the several
States and their respective counties,
accrediting each with sts quantity OF
cotton produced, size of bale handled,
cost of ginning and baling, and the num-
Der of ginning establishments.
Director Merriam is so much impressed
with the value and Importance OF this
information that he has determined to
repeat the inquiry with respect to the
cotton crop Of 1900, which has practically
all been ginned at this time. Plans are
already perfected in the Census Office for
obtaining, by correspondence with the
ginners, the same informa ton for the
new crop, and II this second inquiry along
the same lines shall prove as successful
as is hoped, it is believed by the Director
that this method of ascertaining the
value of the cotton crop will suDersede
all others.
COMPLETE LIST.
The Census Office has a complete list
of the cotton sinners of the South, which
it will keep up 10 date. A copy of the
Census Bulletin about to be issued will
be sent to every ginner whose name
appears ON this list. 1t will be accompa-
MED by a circular. calling attention OF
the ginners to the important work upon
which the Census Office is engaged, the
great value of this work to all those pro-
ducing, handling and preparing cotton
for the market, and inviting their active
cooperation in the plan of the Office to
make, in this manner. an accurate record.
free from all speculative features, and
preceding in point of time any statement
OF the crop which can be gathered in
any other way.
Wherever this plan Of the Census Office
has become known to representatives of
the Southern States its value has been
Instantly conceded and promises of
hearty cooperation with the Census Of
