have been according to the original
plans.

REVIEW OF TRADE.
bun Says New York Failure
Due Solely to Bad Methods.

New York, June 2s.-R. G. Dun & Co. 3
Weekly Review of Trade says
It does not follow because bad bank
ing methods have caused one of the
smaller New York banks to close its
doors, with attendant circumstances
that created a sensation in Wall street
that general business is in any way
affected or at all responsible for the
trouble. The country Is undeniably
prosperous, and with prospect OF an
abundant harvest to supply our own
needs and increasing European de-
ficiencies. the situation is viewed with
confidence. "A few more labor disturb
ances have arisen. but others have been
settled, notably the dispute over the
tin plate scale. Some disagreements in
the coal regions at times assume a
threatening aspect, but the troubles
have been local and do not affect the
mining industry Reports from the
country speak of a continued active
movement Of merchandise with job
bing trade, and embracing nearly all
lines

RAINS INJUEE COTTON.
Crop Average, However, Is Not Im
paired ana Yield Will BE Good.

paired ana Yield Will be OOou'
Conservative reviews of the cotton
crop situation have been made IN the
principal States of the cotton belt all
tending to show that there has been no
great impairment of conditions on &C
count of the drouth. The greatest dam
age has been in sections visited by ex-
cessive rains, notably the Carollnas'
Georgia, Virginia and Florida. 1hese
FIVE States produce very small portion
Of the cotton crop, however. The crop
in Mississippi far surpasses any that mas
been raised since 1899 and the govern
ment report places its general condition
at five points above the ten years aver
age. Louisiana has crop that IS lar
better than that of 1900 or 1899. Ala
bama expects bounteous yield. Texas
continues to be the center of interest anu
the reports from that State are narrow
ly watched, as the usual crop of the COM
monwealth is one-third that of the entire
South and one-fourth that of the world.
The general yield would be expected to
fall something short of the average crop,
100000. The increased acreage Will
probably bring the total crop up to the
average. In western Oklahoma the out
look is not bright, but the eastern part
of the State and the Indian territory Will
produce average yields of cotton. With
fair degree of moisture from now on
crop of from 100000 to l1,OOO,OOO
bales ought to be assured.

Is pistol properly part of d peda-
gogue's OUTFIT This question came up
before State Superintendent of Education
McChesney Of Kentucky when one claim
ant to the position of teacher in Pike
County district school made affidavit that
his rival taught school with revolver
strapped about him and that on this ac-
count he was enabled to keep good order
and prevent any rival teacher from
trying to start an opposition class.
Superintendent McChesney gave the
matter serious consideration. The law
against the intimidation Of pupils was
involved. After deliberation, however,
the State Superintendent announced that
while the constant wearing of such a
large gun in the cities of the State might
have tendency to intimidate the pupils,
yet in Pike County he believed that on
the contrary, it might have a beneficial
effect,

Southern Cotton Growers Association
Plans One in Texas.
Harvie Jordan, president of the South
ern Cotton Growers Association, is en-
thusastic about the results of organiza-
ton in Texas. He has just returned to
Columbia, S. c., from a thorough tour OIL
inspection of that State, and reports the
association stronger there than in any
State except Georgia. Mr.. Jordan IS
strongly in favor of farmers trust,
and declares it to be the only sensible
solution of the situation in the State OF
Texas. That is what his association IS
working for, he says. 1t has gathered
great strength since last year, especially
in the Southwest Every county in lex
as has an official organizer, and consider
able money is being expended in supply
ing the farmers with literature. The
purpose of the organization is that the
farmers shall fix the price, based on crop
yield (Which the association expects to
be able to estimate very accurately early
in the season., and on the probable de-
mand. The cotton not needed for lmme-
date consumption will be stored in bond
ed warehouses which will be established
in every community. This will be sold
during the year, according TO the de-
mand. The farmers obtain advances on
stored cotton.
