Coming to the Theaters

Next weeks bill at the Columbia will
be William Gillette's farce, Too Much
Johnson This play has not been seen
in Washington since presented by the
authcr-actor himself AS the popular
company at the + Street playhouse has
demonstrated it's ability in semi-serious
work, il will next week be given a
chance to show it's patrons what il can
do with an out-and-out comedy.
TOO Much Johnson" is a complete
justification for a whole evening s
laughter. and it carries with il an ex-
Cmplification Of that tragedy OF
comedy the old critics love to dwell
on. For this reason the majority OF
characters in the play seem to be in all
sorts Of miserable and micery-making
entanglements. and the story makes Il
no laughing matter for them.
The full strength of the Arden COM
pany will be seen in this production.

Cotton is King.

It is said that probably never since
the Civil War has there been such Suf-
fering as now exists in Old England
and New England among cotton
operatives and manufacturers. The
New Orleans Picayune says: There
have been many years when English
spinners have reaped great profits
from the low price OF American cot
ton, while at the same time Ameri-
can producers who had the cotton to
sell were driven to desperation. Now
the boot is on the other leg, and the
conditions are reversed. The foreign
spinnerS suffer because of the high
prices, due to consumption outstrip-
ping production, and producers are
reaping the benefit Of the enhanced
value Of their product.
OF course, present strained con-
ditions will disappear and the vari-
Gus branches Of the trade will readjust
their relations with each other. The
increase in consumption will stimu-
late production, and in course Of time
the supply will again equal the de-
mand, and with the backward swing
OF the pendulum the other extreme
will be reached and overlroduction
will again give spinnerS an advantage
over producers. There is, therefore,
no reason to feel any too much con-
cern over the present dis ress OF Brit
ish Spinners." We do not believe
that cotton will ever go below the
cost OF production again as it did a
few years ago, unless some business
depression that occurred then occurs
again. Under normal conditions Of
business we do not believe that the
South can produce cotton crop large
enough to depress the price OF the
staple below a living figure.

Boil Weeyil Increasing.

The State says the government is
sending out in South Carolina,
through Section Director Bauer, stat
isticS concerning the boil weevil. The
weevil is making rapid inroads in
Texas and from July Is to August p
it became known in many new locali-
ties in the Lone Star State.
Cotton continued to make good
growth and is fruiting and boiling
well, with bolls opening and and some
picking beirg done; on account Of hot
weather and boil worms the crop has
suffered some damage over nearly all
portions of the section, especially over
the Chickasaw and Choctaw nations,
where much shedding has been report
ed; generally the crop condition and
prospect continues good" says the
Oklahoma and Indian Territory re-
port.
The Texas report is not more cheer
full. 1t reads: 'The cotton crop has
suffered decidedly from the drouth
and high temperatures in the north
ern two-thirds Of the State. Growth
has been greately retarded. Very lit
tie new fruit is being made and NEST
of that IS soon thrown off. The boil
worms continue to be quite destruc-
tive in a number Of northeastern
counties. Boil WeeVils are punctur-
ing nearly all the squares in the
southwestern, central, eastern and
coast divisions and are doing much
damage as far north as Dallas, kauf-
man and Hunt counties. The bolis
open rapidly, in some localities pre- ma
turely, and picking is now in full pro-
grass. The staple is generally re-
ported to be rather short"
