A WONDERFUL CAVE.
6ecretary Hitchcock Tells About For
mations-Cavern is of Great Extent.

Secretary Hitchcock Tells About For.
nations-cavern is Of Great Extent.
Secretary OF the Interior Hitchcock
cells an interesting story OF Wind
Cave, National Park, South Dakota,
near the Black Hills.
The entrance to the cave is about
IL miles southeast of the town of
Custer and IL miles east of the town
Of Black Hills, s. D., and is in a deep
ravine, with hills sloping back to an
elevation OF from 60 to 12O feet. The
cavern is Of great extent, having many
miles of galleries branching and
recticulating along the joint planes
Of the carboniferious limestone. There
are numerous chambers of consider
able size, and aptly named from some
popularity Of formation or natural
decoration, reminding one of the OBJ
ject after which it is designated.
Among others. the following are
characteristic designations: The
Bridges chamber; Snowfall; room,
with walls and ceilings all spotted with
gypsum formation which looks like
fakes of snow the pos toffice, with
boX-work H., .aation ciinging to the
limestone formation all about and ov.
erhcad; the Red hall, with sides of
soft red stone which is said to have
commercial value in the manufacture
OF paint; the Opera-house, being an
immense room, grand in the formation
of box work and varied colors of
rocks that forra the arch overhead;
the DEVILS Outlook, an enormous
crevice reaching s. feet above, show
Ing how the water has cut and ground
the rocks until sharp corner cannot
be found; Capitol Hill, with it's high
dome ceiling, IA the center of which
nature has placed centerpiece of
most beautiful box work; Odd Fellows
Hall, with three links in the ceiling,
formed by three holes cut out by the
rushing water; the Stone Quarry, with
great slabs of stone of a pink tint
broken away as straight as il cut and
piled up for large building; the
Garden OF Eden, with it's magnificent
frost work and box work, coated with
a pure white frost, and the edges
trimmed with little white balls re-
sembling popcorn, and long frost
petals, with Noah's beard hanging
from little pointed rock from this
frost work with slender strings like
fine silver wire fully two feet long
words are inadequate to describe this
spot; Corckscrew Path, winding trail
leading to Dante's Inferno; Monte
Cristo Palace, the Fair ground, the
Alpine pass and the Blue grotto.
1t is suggested that in ages gone
this cave was doubtless filed with
water, which has left it's marks. all
about it, and by the deposits has
formed the beautiful frost work, but
now there are few places where any
moisture is perceptible.

ending the names to the State Exec
alive Committee, who will in turn re-
oort to the National Executive Com
mittee.
"Fifth-We recommend that each
state raise sufficient fund among the
cotton farmers, merchants and bank
ers to carry on this work.
Sixth-W recommend that the va
rious State Legislatures and Depart
ment of Agriculture, through the Bu-
reau of Plant Industry and the Divis-
ION of Entomology, cooperate in the
campaign of education with the State
Executive Committee and County Ex-
ecutive Committee to reach each in
dividual planter as they have done in
Texas, and that sufficient appropri-
alton be made by Congress to pro-
vide the necessary literature and in
ssructions to carry out he cultural
methods.
Seventh Until some remedy is
found which will destroy the boil wee
vii and eliminate him from the cotton
fields Of the South, to make cotton
crop will depend upon the individual
efforts Of each cotton farmer, and
without this organization the Govern
ment cannot aid the farmers as they
should.
GAS 70 per cent of tie cotton farm
ers are tenants, it is absolutely I'M
perative that they and their landlords
be organized. AS so per cent Of the
cotton farmers are negroes, it is more
that they be all organized
as the boil weevil will affect the ten
ants and negroes more than the land
lords or those who own their own
farms"

The seven world wonders of anti
guilty were the pyramids, Babylon's
gardens, Mausolus tomb, the Tenn
pie OF Diana, the Colossus of Rhodes.
Jupiter's statue by Phidias and the
pharos of Egypt, or, as some substi-
tute, the Palace Of Cydus.
The seven wonders of the middle
ages were the Coliseum Of Rome, the
catacombs of Alexandria, the great
wall of China, Stonehenge, the lean
ing tower of Pisa, the porcelain tow.
er of Nankin and the Mosque of st.
Sophia at Constantinople.
How will these compare with the
seven wonders of the modern world?
asks the Kansas City Independent.
Perhaps there may be difference
of opinion as regards the latter-day
wonders, but the following are sub
stituted: The steam railway, the tele~
graph, the telephone, the wireless
telegraph, the ocean steamship, the
submarine man,of-war and the air
ship.

Spur Lines in Delta.

Fl. E. Stout, right of way agent for
the Southern Railway, says that the
work of constructing the road from
Elizabeth to Kuhns will be pushed as
rapidly as possible, while surveys for
further extensions in the delta are be-
ing made. Mr.. Stout is Of the opinion
that there will be a great amount of
railroad building in the delta during
the next few years; that section Of the
state is too rich to remain undevelop-
ed, and he predicts it will be one net
work of roads in the very near fu-
ture.

Ginning Statistics.

The suggestion now being agitated

much as it has hurt the price in the
