Much difficulty was found In getting

The water towers were almost useless

peARTH OF COTTON plcksRs.

The cotton situation in Texas is re
markable TO say the least. All crop re
ports indicate a short crop, ana yo
there seems TO be general anxiety
throughout the state about the gather
ing of the crop. Even in 1900 when
the great crop of over 3,j0O,OO0 bales
was produced there was not such a
dearth OF cotton pickers. And yet we
have a greater volume of labor than
ever before, for surely during the past
four years the population of the state
has increased by over 100000 people
What is more, the other cotton
states are having the same trouble as
that which prevails in Texas, and the
short crop complaint is prevalent else.

The only explanation OF this state
of affairs is that the negroes are rapid.

OF the first half hour the entire uncap-
tured portions Of the ridge were sub
jected to the full impetus OF the Japa-
nese fire. over 400 guns were roaring
away at one time, and sometimes every
Russian fort was silenced for awhile.
When the smoke lifted and II was
possible to make some estimate OF what
had been accomplished Ii was seen that
the entire left division Of the Japanese
army had advanced through the cap

nous human sacrifice, but at last the
