Ohio Encampment.

Adj.-Gen. Fridge has a letter from
the colonel Of an Ohio regiment in
wiling the governor of Mississippi and
his staff to be their guests at Vicks-
burg during their encampment from
the goth to the 9th of May, and the
governor of Mississippi has accepted
and requested his staff of officers of
the National Guard to be with him in
the "historic city" on the 22nd of
May, 1905. Such an echange
Of civilities is worthy of note for
more reasons than one. The state of
Ohio asked permission Of the state of
Mississippi to move armed troops
across its border and through terri
tory, to Vicksburg, where the Nation
al Guard Of the State Of Ohio proposed
to go into annual eneampment and
spend week at long range rife prac-
tice. Gov. Vardaman replied in most
courteous language to that request and
extended a cordial invitation to the
governor of Ohio, who contemplated
accompanying his state troops, to be
his guest at Jackson during his So
Journ in Mississippi.

THE COTTON SITUATION.
Spectators Will Sell Southern Stocn
Unless Report Shows Reduction
Of Acreage.

John Sharp Williams addresses the
following communication to the Cot
ton Growers Of the State:
Yazoo City.-A friend of mine ha.
had recent occasion to visit most of
the speculative center Of the East and
West. He tells me that the cotton
situation is attracting a good deal OF
attention Of the big operators there
Many of them stated to him that If
the government report failed to shows
a reduction IN the acreage Of cotton
they would Immediately sell bank
stocks industrials-every sort OF
vested interest in the South listed on
the exchanges, feeling confident that
that announcement by the government
would be followed by a long era of
depression throughout the South. One
OF the most enlightened operators
made the significant remark to him
that perhaps the most lasting depres-
sion would come "from the impaired
confidence Of the world in the intel
llgence and resources Of the Southern
people to meet great business emer-
gency." This friend of mine wrote
me these facts feeling it unnecessary
to comment upon them, and thinking
they might be of use in the work that
the Southern Cotton Association is
now trying to do in the State Of Mis-
sissippi. 1t is all so significant to my
mind that [ thought the people of
the state ought to be acquainted with
it and [ have hurriedly taken this
method Of bring it to their attention.

While pleased with an answer on this
question from you, l feel almost sorry to
say that it did not at all satisfy me. ia.
pan IS surely not fighting for her national
life, that life of over $4,000, 900 people is
not any more in danger than is the ma
tional life of Great Britain. Nc national
life was ever in danger so long as that
life was as vigorous, sober and indus
trious as that Of the Japs. No senti-
mental feeling has any right to a place on
this account. The Japanese are even much
more aggressive and encroaching on the
rights Of Korea and China than Russia
ever was. If, as you say (but L do not
believe). that a sentimental reason ex-
plains the attitude of nine-tenths of the
Americans, they must be entirely ignorant
of the late war between China and Japan,
and the bullying policy of the Japs toward
both Korea aid China The JapS wanted
Manchuria and Korea for many years, and
if Russia loses this fight, Japan will get
them, and a few years later she will get
the whole Of China, too, and Europe and
America will be shut cut from eastern
Asia. That is what European statesmen
have clearly seen coming. II America
is in favor of maintaining the territorial
integrity of China and the open door"
and if she thinks that Japan will respect
China's integrity, she will soon be awak-
ened from miserable dream II the Japs
win from Russia; and as to an open port,
are not all Russian ports open, even some-
what wider than our American portso
The Japs are mechanics and a mechani-
cal people, and labor is cheap there They
will be able, very easily, to compete with
Europe and with America. Russians, on
the other hand, are not mechanics: they
are agriculturists and herdsmen, and that
is the kind of people to sell manufactured
goods to. 1t is greatly in the interest of
humanity that Russia gets a seaport. The
Japs do not need it. That the worship
ers Of Buddha, the sun and the dead
should be preferred to Christians. because
of some good Christian-li5e acts, is at
least astonishing. 1t is not so very long
ago that they massacred all the Chris
tians in their islands. -P. Ham.
