phenomonaI DEVELOPMENT.

Secretary of State Power Is Just
about completing the data for his forth.
coming report TO the next legislature.
showing the work done In his depart.
ment for the past two years The ro-
port OF Secretary Power viii be largely
the most interesting yet published and
will be one of tho most interesting
and instructive TO be issued by tho
State departments. The industrial
showing which Secretary Power Will
make Will be most phenominal one
and the figures Will stagger belief.
Secretary Power keeps the records of
the new corporations chartered In the
State, and figures heretofore given out
by him from time TO time have shown
that the amount of capital being In
vested In Mississippi enterprises has
doubled and trebled and quadrupled at
a lightning pace for Ave or six years,
and particularly in the past four years.
These figures will show also that whllo
South Mississippi has come In for the
larger share, and the delta second,
yet the tidal wave of prosperity has
not failed to penetrate every corner OF
the State. Mr. Powers report will

net revenue of between $4,000 and
$50. 900 In fees paid for recording char
tors OF new enterprises every year, and
that these figures are increasing year
ly, even monthly. The two industries
which have shown the most tremen-
dous Developments. according TO the
report, are the oil mill and the lumber
industries. There has also been a
healthy increase In the cotton manu-
featuring enterprises. While few new
factories have been established. those
now In existence have all doubled their
capacity and made large additions to
their plants. Waterworks and electric
lighting plants have been numerous
and have been established in every d.
rectlon. Banking institutions have
shown an extraordinary Increase and
railroad building has been almost on
d boom. In few days Secretary
Power will be able To give out the ex.
act figures. as he is now at work
making n careful compilation of stats.
tics from the charter records. Willis
banks are failing In the West and
North, MissIsslppl's financial instltu-
tons seem to be on rock bottom basis
and new banks are being organized
wherever the business needs demand
them.

Washington. Nov. 50.-President
Roosevelt said Saturday that II ii
could be proved that Gen. Wood had
inspired the article written by Mai.
James e. Runcie. criticising Gen.
Brooke, the nomination of Gen. Wood
for promotion to be majoT-general
would be withdrawn
Gen. Wood. in his detailed defense
of himself, filed with the war depart
ment, denied that he suggested that
the article be written or that he knew
anything about It until his attention
was called TO the publication, and dc.
clared that he was 50 shocked and sur.
prised that he die not at first believe
that his friend Runcie had written IL,
but thought his name had been wrong
fully used in connection with the ar
ticle.
In his testimony before the senate
committee on military affairs. Mai.
Runcie declared on oath that the ar.
ticle in question was planned Mt din.
ner in Santiago at which Gen. Wood.
Ray Stannard Baker and himself were
present: that Gen. Wood asked him to
write the article. and he had done so.
Ray Stannard Baker, the third per-
son at the dinner. has been subpoe'
naed. and Maj.-Gen. Brooke has been
called to substantiate or disprove some
of the statements in the article.
ITpon Baker's Testimony will deDend
whether Gen. Wood or Maj Runcie,
retired. shall leave the army In dis
grace. The situation has become such
that it is believed that both can not
with honor remain in the service.
Mai. Runcie, although on the retired
list, is still amenable to military reg
ulations, and can be court-martialed.
Friends of each are wondering which
one will be punished.

cotton planting Experiment.

Mr.. W. Y. Watson, a former Mis-
sissippian, who is now engaged in
sugar planting in Cuba, is preparing
to experiment. with cotton culture
on that island. He recently return
ed 10 his old home at Port Gibson
and secured several of the finest va
rleties Of cotton seed, principally the
long staple variety, which he in
tends to plant carly next year. Mr..
Watson has experimental in small
way with cotton growing in Cuba,
but heretofore has been unable TO
procure satisfactory variety. He
says that cotton planted ON the
island grows very high, bolls well,
but has to be cnt down when the
second growth commences. The
greatest difficulty encountered is the
fact that there is no frost to check
The growth and open the bolls at ripe
1ruitlon. 1t will be remembered that
John c. Calhoun, who, in his day,
was a recognized authority on cot
ton growing. always claimed that il
could NOT be successfully grown be-
low the frost line, and that Ameri-
ca will always have practically a
monopoly Of the feecy staple
