Old and New Sailors.

The Arizona boys who recently en-
 listed in Uncle Sam's navy will have to revise all the opinions they have
 gained from story book and history concerning a bluejacket's life on the ocean wave. And the sea stories late to the navies of the world. are to be vastly different from the stories now being told of fifty and one hundred years ago. The personal heroism of the old-time sailors and the magnificent display of seamanship un- der stress of battle, the lighting at close range, the floating hulks, and all that sort of thing are matters ot the past. The naval battles of today are wholly different affairs. The op- posing ships stand apart from three to five miles. The man on watch and the man in the engine room do the work of the old time sailors, but the men at the guns perform about the same kind of service they did under the old conditions.
 The personality of the sailor, how ever, is gone, and the men who man the ships are no longer to be consid- cred as sailors. A navigator does the work through the engine room. and there is a general change of methods In an address delivered in New York City on Thursday night Rear-AdmiraI Francis J. Higginson spoke on the sub ject of the man behind the guns" and saia:
 The monkey wrench has taken the place of the marlinspike. All the old officers regret the loss of activity in wind and muscle which running up q mast 135 feet to a royal yard required of a seaman. l see very plainly the difference in physique of the men in the navy today and the men who made up the navy when I entered, in 1857"
 The man-of-war's-m of today is a modern creation. He does rot need the brawn that his predecessors needed in order to equip him for hard work. The modern man on ship must be quick and wiry, and he does not have to possess a Knowledge of sails and such things. He is the product of the machine age, and what was formerly done by brute strength and force of numbers is now cone by steam and electricity. The
 Jack" of today is a queer chap, and he is generally a young chap. There are few grizzled seamen found today on the ships of the navy, and youth and vigor and a Knowledge of mechanics are the qualifications of the men on Gradually steam is taking the place of wind, iron and steel are taking the place of masts and sails
 The race Of sailors and fighters of whom writers have been telling for almost time out of mind is becoming rare. They are yet found on merchant men in some parts of the world, Cl the great ocean brigs, barques and schooners; but the modern ship of profit is the one that is impeiled by steam. Conditions on shipboard have changed with conditions on land. There is a revolution of methods, and the time is coming when the bewhiskered sailor with bowed legs will be un- known. The change is coming rapidly and the stories of the sea of fifty and one hundred years ago will eventually come to be considered as mere fairy tales And everybody will regret the disappearance of the picturesque old sad sea dog" and his many exploits of valor and courage Of the highest quality. Real seamanship is soon to be numbered among the lost arts.

COTTON ACREAGE.
Report Sent Out by a Most Relia-
BILE Firm

NEW YORK, May 20. 1902.
With the view of obtaining the most reliable
information possible concerning the cotton acre-
age of the United States for 1902. we adj
dressed 4. 900 letters to banks, bankers, cotton
commission merchants and responsible plant
ers embracing every cotton growing county in
the South. asking acreage estimates.
Up to this date have secured 2786 re-
plies, of average date May, and the following
tabulation is the result. In opinion it Is
as approximately correct an estimate of the
cotton acreage as could be secured by direct
communication with parties competent to
Judge. residing In the Southern States.
The Montgomery advertiser. [volume] (Montgomery, Ala.) 1885-1982, 1902-06-03

The total estimated decrease of cotton acreage
in the United States for 1902 is 80 100 per
cent. or $50, 988 acres less than last year,
and the average planting of the crop is about
5 days later.
There has been little necessity for rcpanting
this season. and any delay in planting and
termination is being rapidly overcome by sea
sonabe weather.
Stands generally reported to be excel
lent; plants healthy and cultivation good.
The necessity for planting more land in
grain has checked the normal increase in cot
ton acreage. Yours truly.
