ourselves from the gnawing ap-
petite of a people who seem to
think Thanksgiving and Christ

Little DAMAGE Dor,a.

Houston, Tex, Aug. 9.--Tn southern
and south central Texas the recent
rains have caused some deterioration
in cotton. this taking the form of
shedding and weediness However
there appears to be more anxiety

dications are that the rains will con-
,inue for some time.
In eastern Texas there has been
very little damage from this cause
and the crop is doing we'll Com
nlaints of damage by heavy rains
have come from some sections of
north Texas. but generally a lack of
rain in that section is said to he hold

NatcheZ. Aug. 9--Heavv rains
throughout the month of July and for
the first week of August together
with intense warm weather. have
worked rreparable injury to the cot.
ton crop in this section. The plant
ran to stalk and was choked with
grass and weeds. The ground has
been too wet for working, hence ths
tall growth of grass and weeds.
The rain and heat caused shedding
to great extent. The crop changed
color, turning yellow in many places.
Though the crop had a splendid start,
the rain has set il back to l. per
cent under the average wear. The
t"niting of the cotton has been ee-

REPLY TO CLEVELAND
BY DEBS is REJECTED.

'. Debs sent to McClure's Magazine,
III response to request by the editor,
ar article replying to one by Grover
Cleveland on the 'Debs Strike in Chi
cago" in 1894, and the manuscript has
been returned to him, with the infor-
nation that it did not confine itself to
sober statement of facts as did Mr.
Cleveland's article, but was in bad
temper. The suggestion was made
that it could be rewritten. Debs has
replied: .-z.,n,..i~
lf statement of absolute facts.
taken from the official records made
IN decorus language, is not sober
statement of facts, it is simply be.
cause the facts do not admit Of sober
statement. You know that Mr.. Cleye-
land is the idol of the American plu-
tocracy, and you also know the rea.
son why, and am strongly inclined
to think that it is this reason that
prompts the rejection of the article"
Mr.. Debs says he prefers to have it
rejected to publication when emascu.

Standing of the Teams.

Notwithstanding the fact that TN
Pine Bluff team is "the best team in
the world, to use popular anf
time worn expression, they Groppe!
one game of the double=hcador 20
Monroe yesterday, after showing
reversal OF form that made the faith
row. II was about the bitterest de
feat that has happened 20 Pine Bluff
for many moons Tor there was not
a fan in Pine Bluff who did not want
to see the locals take all the games
from Monroe. Not that the Pine
Bluff fanatics are "hoggish, but
pennant ball was not demonstrated
a; any stage Of that second game,
and it takes pennant ball to win pen
nants, even if the umpire is for
ninst us.
After Hickman had been disposed
of so kindly in that first game the
faithful forty who occupy the smok
ing part of the grand stand and hurl
verbal compliments at the Jumps
were dead sure Helm would be twice
as easy as Hickman and that the To-
Gals would score "hundred. But
ii had to be otherwise .and a clean
shutout resulted There was no one
to blame, or rather all were to blame
so far as it counted in the past and
another double-header is ordered for
today when it is hoped the bad rec
ord of yesterday will be entirely
wiped out.
The first game was pitchers
battle, and battle royal it was. Bob
White. the new pitcher, was pitted
against Hickman and did the busi-
ness. White only allowed three hits
and should have won easily but the
Lumbermen are not in the habit OF
beating Hickman. and it took them
some time to get onto the fact that
they were hitting the lanky little
the respect of all the fans in Pine
Bluff by his masterful pitching on
other occasions and the fans were
never sure they had him beaten un-
til the last man was out in the ninth
and the locals were three runs to
the good.
A combination of one hit and two
errors let Noblett get across the plate
while Sample was not looking in the
sixth inning and that was the only
time Monroe could score. But up to
that time the locals had been unable
as Noblett, and things looked doubt
full. Kennelley did make the circuit
to the home plate in what everybody
thought was safety, but B. T. Clifford
thought differently, and it was take
his decision or forfeit the game.
In the seventh Dawkins managed to
get around the four bases and tie
the score but could do no better, and
the tie was still on.
The game was won in the eighth
and yet the eighth opened up badly
for Murphey The pride Of the out
field went out on fly to Leidy. Grubb
followed with a stinger past the Sec
ond station which Fred Moore could
not reach and was safe. Sample fol-
lowed with a two-bagger to left cen
ten and again the Jumps" had moth
ing to do with the scoring, for Grubb
