Preventive Of Mosquito.

of a Louisville man rather well
known throughout the State for
his convivial qualities who last

in a town on the lower Mississip-

years.
The morning after the arrival
of the Louisville man, his host
who had risen a little earlier
than usual. encountered the
colored man walking about the
grounds.
Il hope your master wasn't
annoyed by mosquitoes, observ-

The heaviest reduction of cot
ton acreage yet reported is from
Monroe county. A correspon-
dent from Aberdeen reporting to
the Times-D Democrat Of New
Orleans under date Of May the
18th, that up to the 25th inst.
the cotton crop showed a reduc-
ton in that county of fifty per
cent. Our esteemed contempt
rary, the Aberdeen Examiner,
has consistently fought acreage
reduction all the time and the
statement that a fifty per cent.
reduction has taken place right
under it's nose was not to be ex-

A Bad Outlook For Cotton

On Monday the Times Demo-
crat of New Orleans issued the
first of its reports on the cotton
crop Of 1905. For the past seven
years the Times-D Democrat has
issued at the end of the month
a general summary of the crop
situation, made up from reports
gathered from correspondents
all over the cotton belt, and in
it's estimates has been singularly
accurate in naming the aggregate
of the cotton crop for the year.
The estimate and report issued
on the 10Th inst referred to the
acreage planted and the condition
of the crop from a point Of stands
and cultivation. It is the opinion
of the Times Democrat that up
to the date of issuing its report
there had been a reduction. of Is
per cent with a further probable
reduction on account of wet
weather here; that stands are
good; that the general conditions
of the crop at this time is the
worst ever known at the same
time of the year; that there has
been a decrease in the purchase
of mules, and there has been dis
tinct decrease in the use of fer
tilizers and that the grass has
got a tremendous start of crops.
All of these conditions combined
to make up a most unsatisfactory
situation. On the first page we
give the estimate for states as
furnished by the Times-D Democrat

The union between Norway
and Sweden, which has existed
since 1874, and which was
brought about to resist the advace
of the conquering Napoleon, is
undergoing a severe strain on &C
count of conflicting conditions
and interests in the two countries
and it is quite likely that the
next conflict may be here. Nor
way is purely democratic and
has long since abolished nobility,
while their allies and neighbors,
the Sweedes still preserve aristo-
craticy and hold to the early
traditions and customs of their
people. With conditions ex-
listing in a union of government
dissentions necessarily arise that
must finally cause either a peace

The Battle Fought.

The last kilograms from the
Far East gives the information
that the long expected battle
between the Japanese and Rus
sian navies has Seen fought and
that a decisive victory for the
Japs is the result. The much
heralded second squadron which
would, from Russian point of
view, retrieve Russia's losses on
the sea, met with the same fate
as the first, humiliation, and the
once proud armada headed by
Russia's greatest sea fighter
is a thing of the past. With the
crushing defeat of Rojestvenski's
fleet Russia has lost out complete
ly on the sea and military men
freely predict that all that is left
for the Gar to do is to sue
for peace. The news of the sue
cess of the Japanese is received
with rejoicing every where. The
war waged by Russia is one of
conquest and her defeat is moth
ing more thanis deserved. That
it may be completed and that
the unholy war may soon term
mate is the universal wish on
this side.
