Mr.. BARKER WRITES
FROM FAR JAPAN
Gives Facts in Reference to the
War Now in Progress Be-
tween Japan and Russia

The following letter from an old
friend of the late owner and proprietor
of The Sentinel, J. w. Buchanan, was
handed us for publication:
War Department, Depot QuartermaS
ter'S Office. Cable Address: Bar
ker, NagaSaki.
NagaSaki, Japan, Jan. 10, 1905.
Rev. j. c. CarotherS,
Grenada, Miss, U. S. A.
My Dear Friend:-I was shocked, as
we'll as pained, to read in my Com
mercial Appeal" just received, the
announcement of the death of my good
friend, Mr.. j. w. Buohanan-a man
true and noble, whom l respected and
loved. In his death, Grenada county
and the State loses a citizen whose
place is not easy to fill, while his
friends, with his family, more keenly
realize his loss, but proudly revere his
memory.
Kindly extend to Mrs. Buchanan
and his family my sincerest SYM
pathy. Your attached friend,
(Signed) WALTER BARKER.
Below Mr.. Barker gives some facts
in reference to the RusSo-JapaneSe
war:
The Russo japanese war in which l
am in the midst of is the blOodiest
conflict in the history of the world.
The casualties on each side are
simply appalling. 1t is believed that
a conservative estimate of the total
losses to this date will reach 200, 900
men.
The capitulatiOn of Port Arthur to
those OF us who have seen its entrench-
mentS, barbed wire and strong earth
works, with the entire place honey
cOmbed with mines, is a miracle. Its
capture by the japanese is strong
blow to Russian prestige.
The japanese soldier is incOmpar-
able in courage, enthusiastic, patriotic
and intelligent. Their officers
are equally brave strategistS, and
have the confidence of their men,
whom they haye under strict diScip-
line, but share their every hardshipS.
The Russian soldier is stupidity dull,
but will go and stay wherever ordered
10y their leaders, who are far inferior
to the Mikado'S SOldiery.

EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
OF Mississippi Southern Cotton Associa.
ton to Cotton Planters.

The Mississippi organization of the
Southern Cotton Association invites
your attention to the necessity and
method of organized efforts on the
part of those affected by cotton pro-
ductiOu.
THE South, if its opportunities are
properly utilized, will become the
most favored and prosperous agricul-
tural part of the earth. Climate, soil
and seasons give it a practical mono
poly of one of the worlds most need
ed products tS-cotton. During the four
years of our Civil War, when the price
of cotton reached about 81 pound,
and ever since, especially when prices
were high, all other parts of the earth
endeavored to deprive us of our Su
premacy, but only about fifth Of the
total yield, which does not appreciably
affect the price, is their utmost attain
ment. BY proper regulations, limit
ing the amount of cotton raised to
what Will command a remunerative
price, by increasing consumption, by
cutting off all avoidable expense of in
termediary handling, and by judiciouS
marketing, the land and labor en-
ployed in cotton production can be
made the most profitable of the world.
All of this can be certainly accom-
pliShed by sensible and we'll organized
effort. The cotton manufacturers of
all countries are combining into one
association. which will act through
one set of buyers and utterly destroy
competition. BY organization cotton
producers can treat directly with this
organized body, discussing conditions,
agreeing on prices that would be per-
manently remunerative to both, end
ing gambling in futures and artificial
fluctuations of values.
q crop of 10, 900, 900 or IL, 200, 900
bales is worth 800, 900, 600 more than
crop of IA, 900, 600 bales. Had one
fifth of the time employed in produc-
ing this cop been spent in idleness,
cotton producers would have been
more than 800, 900, 900 the gamers.
Industry should never be punished,
nor is it, when properly directed, nor
should i1leness be encouraged. If,
instead of spending one-sixth of the
time in idlenesS, the producers of the
South had devoted that proportion of
their energy, labor and capital to other
and diversified crops-corn, forage,
trucking, live stock, etc.-our section
would have been more than $500, 0O0,-
600 the net gamer. This proposition

Mr.. Smith writes the company: 1t
