Cotton Raising in Africa.

New Orleans States.
Mr.. Peter Strickland, our con-
sui at Goree-D akar, Senegal,
Africa. has compiled and sent to
the State Department at Wash
ingtOn a report regarding the
raising of cotton in Africa. He
says that ut the present time
much attention is being given to
the cultivation of the staple in
the Upper Nile Valley as we'll as
elsewhere by both the colonial
government and the home gov
vernment of France.
Several years ago a number of
French explorers of the SOudan,
after a careful investigation OF
the conditions of soil and climate,
declared that the country could
easily be made to produce all the
cotton required to meet the
needs of France, and it seems
that what these explorers assert
ed is about to be verified. In their
reports to the French govern
ment they commended that cotton
could be easily produced in West
Africa, and called attention to
the fact that in the times prior
to the Importation of English
goods from Manchester the ma
tives raised cotton and manufac-
tured by hand enough cloth to
supply their wants. The staple
was not as long or as fine as
that produced in this country,
but the natives managed to make
very strong cloth from it, and
some Of them are still engaged
in the manufacture of the fabric.
1t may be that in a few years
from now the Southern cotton
grower will have to meet the
competition of the African pro-
duct in the markets of Europe,
because there is no reason to
doubt that the intelligent devel-
Opment of the Dark Continent
with its great resources is sure
to result in the extension of the
cotton growing area of the
world, and this country will then
cease to enjoy a monopoly in the
production of the great staple.

The Christian Scientists who constitute

Christ Scientist OF this city are making
preparations to occupy the church build
ing, which they have purchased from the
Foundry Methodist Episcopal Church. To-
Gated on the corner Of 18th and r streets

transfer from their present quarters in
Scottish Rite Hall either the last Sunday
in this month or the first Sunday in March.
The authorities Of the Foundry Church
Will hold their last service in the building
on the 21st instant, but the new owners
are as yet undecided Just when they viii
have their opening exercises, owing to the
fact that they expect to make some minor
changes about the church before going in.
It is understood that the formal transfer
OF the building has not yet taken place,
but the negotiation has so far progressed
that there is no longer any doubt that the
sale will be contaminated, and it Is ex-

livered within the next few days.
The contamination of the church pur-

to building dedicated entirely to church

Are the Expressions Confined to the
Southern Statesp

From the New Orleans Times Democrat.
For some time there has been running in
New York paper an amusing discussion of
the expressions you air and we ALL" and
in not a few instances efforts have been
made to shoulder these oddities Off on the
south. The expressions are frequently used
in the south, and often by persons of high
culture. II is not at all uncommon to hear
an educated man ask, How are you alp"
by which he means to inquire about all the
members of a particular family. So edu-
Gated men and women frequently say, I'VE
all get along nicely here" by which they
mean that ''all members of the family"
and so on. 1t is more direct way of say
ing the thing. 1t conveys the Idea clearly
enough, and Is not open TO any objection on
the ground of ''vagueness and uncertainty"
OF course these expressions are used only
in talking. Persons who constantly say
you air and I'VE ALI would never think
of writing it in this way. You alf' and
I'VE ALI are spoken and not written, just
as a great many persons who are capable
of writing. and do write, the most exquisite
English butcher all the rules of grammar
and euphony in conversation.
But it is doubtful IL I'VE alr' and you
ALL can be charged up to the south exclu-
siyely. They are rather American provin-
cialisms, and are to be classed with GER

as shocking and barbarous by the English
man. But why should breath and time be
wasted in saying things in A roundabout
