Did you ever notice." said a physi-
clan yesterday as he was standing in
a drug store on Main street watching
a crowd of women and girls elbow each
other to the soda fountain, that the
foam on a glass of icecTeam soda
water in nine cases out of ten is made
out Of soapsuds? If those women were
told what they We're drinking, l guess
they would be somewhat surprised
Nevertheless is a fact. Soda drinkers
have notion that the foam at the top
of a glass lends life TO ii, similar to the
sparkle in a glass of wine. It's easy
for the druggists to please this whim,
as il Of course costs them less than to
fill the glass UP with syrup and car
BOMBED water than with pure syrup.
The foam looks pretty, so the women
and children like it regardless of what
its composition is, never for a moment
thinking that IL may be harmful.
There are various ways of making
the foam on soda water. One compo-
sitiOn consists of eight ounces Of aqua
pura mixed with four ounces each of
alcohol, glycerine and quiliaja. The
latter two ingredients when combined
form a soap which Is diluted by the
water and alcohol The combination
thus produced Is made into q tinctuTe.

fountains has from two 10 five drains

For the purpose of pushin e

the question of boundaries was
touched upon in the meeting this
morning, nothing definite regard

though it is probable that these
lines will be decided upon at an
other meeting in the near future.
That the people of South

An increase of 100000 or
more acres from last year
until this year can only have been
made by the planting of a large
amout of abandoned land. The
truth of this is instanced by the
decrease per pound of lint per
year, which is a fact which, sup
plemented to the deterioration of
the seed, causes the decline of our
cotton crops.
From this great acreage already
considerable abandonment has
taken place, and further de-
crease will, without question ac-
cur when the picking season
starts and the pressure upon la
Dor becomes great, at which time
those fields whose yield can be
inferior, will be passed over and
abandoned.
Following the lines of all econ
omic laws, at time when great
scarcity exists, extreme care and
frugality is exercised, while,
when the conditions are reversed
and seeming abundance is to
be secured, these features are
overlooked and haste to secure
the large amount causes loss of
a cons iderable portion.
Despite all attempts of the Gov
eminent and outside agencies the

assume that a corresponding

not be apparent at the close of
the season.
These vital conditions are a fact,
but are clearly not recognized to-
day. Coupled with them, as an
influence Of depreciating the
market values of the commodity

ing conferred in the consumers
mind of an immense yield, from
which his supply is to be secured
at almost his own figure. When
the true condition of this crop is

Daniel J. Suny's
Letter to Growers

The Enterprise has received a
letter from Daniel ]. Sully, the
bankrupt cotton King.
The letter is dated at New
York, Aug, 18th, and reads as
follows:
With the approach of the pick
ing season for the new crops of
cotton the most important ques-
ton of the South is what benefits
are to be derived from this crop?
Is the grower, as in'case of the
majority of crops since the war, )"
to raise and finance the crop and
end the season with a load of debt
upon his shoulders and see,
after it has left his hands, and
the real circumstances of its
quantity become known" others
receive for the fruits of the grow
er's labor that which by all laws
of right belong to the producer;
or is he, as was the case the past
year, to be able to show early in
the season to the world the exact
conditions? These questions are
live issues for the South, and with
the wisdom with which they are
worked out depends the advance
ment of the business interests of
the South and a corresponding
gain to our whole country.
The cotton crop at the present
time planted as advices show, up
on 32,000,000 acres of land, with
conditions to the 10th of July,
finer, according to the Govern-
ment reports, than at any time,
with one exception, in the past
IS years. 1t is therefore, not SUR
prising that wefnd the consuming
public expecting a yield sufic-
lent to place prices on an extreme
ly low basis. That there is
great deal of misconception in
regard to the coming crop, and
that the yield is almost bound to
fall below the popular estimation,
I am firmly convinced.
The yield of the past year was
the smallest crop we have had
for a number of years, and at a
time when the needs of the con-
sumers greater than ever be
fore in the history of cotton. This
condition created demand, to
satisfy which, with the stimulant
natural from the prices ruling,
every effort was conferred on gath
ering every pound that had been
grown, and the labor available
was barely sufficient for the pur-
pose.

Japanese Are Closing In
On KurOpatkin With
Three Armies.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 20, 2:15
p. m.-After four weeks interval
the Japanese have resumed their
advance against Gen. Kuropat-
kin's positions.
The opposing armies are in
contact east and south of Lao
Yang, and fighting has been in
progress since Wednesday. The
advices at hand are too meager
to enable the officials to form a
correct opinion as to whether it
will result in a general engage
ment, but the extent and charac-
ter of the Japanese movement
leads to that conclusion.
Since the rains ceased week
ago, there have been continued
intimations that Gen. Kuropatkin
was about to assume the offens-
i've, but instead of this the Japa-
nese have attacked the Russian
commanders eastern and south
ern positions.
$4,000 JAPS IN MOVEMENT.
A Japanese column of 10000
men was reported on Tuesday
to be marching up the right bank
of the Lao river, which would
seem to indicate that three Japa-
nese armies are cooperating in
enve1oping three sides of Lao
Yang. From the meager ac-
counts received, it appears that
General Kuroki selected Tantzia-
pudzy as the point for his attempt
to drive the wedge into Kuropat-
kin's outer defense. at An Ping,
which is situated ten miles north
of Tantzlaprtk1n's being on the
Lianhe river.
The fact that the Japanese are
preparing pontoons at the Tritse
river was noted in these dis
patches several days ago. The
capture of this bridge will be
the first obstacle of the Japanese,
and doubtless will entail severe
fighting, in which the Japanese
probably are counting on the
superiority of their mountain
guns. If they are successful
the Russian positions at An Ping
and Liandiansian will become
precarious.
