The rIan of the Hour.

The call for Hon. Chas. Scot. of this
county to permit his name to be consid-
cred in connection with the office of the
chief executive of the state, is being
voiced 10y the press Of Mississippi with a
s%pontanelty that is as sincere as it is
widespread. and comes, as we believe,
with n spirit Of such genuine earnestness
and sincerity that can only be satisfied
by the most positive refusal 81 the part
of this distinguished gentleman to de
cline the honor that 10 being rendered
him And while, as yet. we have seen
nothing from him touching upon his
purpose or desire to decline or accept,
the evident sincerity Of the demand will
leave him no choice bnt to come forward
at an early date and declare himself,
This paper has nearly always opposed
Mr.. Scott in county politics, but it will
be conceded by both friend and foe that
the state has no son more able and dis
tinguished, nor one whom she would
more delight in honoring, And viii {
the local spirit would feel %pardonable
pride in any honor that might be be-
slowed upon him, his fame is much
broader than the confines of his state
No man within the state is more devoted
to the welfare and progress of the com
monweath, and none more nearly in
touch with her needs. Cleveland En-
terprise.

REDUCTION OF 5000, 900 ACRES
Complete Cotton Statistics. show
Decrease of 1913 Per Cent
Higher Prices.

The Southern Cotton Association on
Wednesday at New Orleans issued its
cotton acreage report. The report is as
follows:
The estimated acreage for 1904 as
indicated by the report of the United
States government, amounted to 81
100, 900 acres.
The decrease in the acreage for 1905
as shown by the tabulated statement,
which was ascertained from 1854 ndi-
vidual reports from farmers, merchants,
bankers and others throughout the cot
ton belt, fixes the acreage this year at
25, $50 1851 acres, a decrease of 1913 per
cent. and 1905 per cent, in fertilizers
"This report on the decrease in the
acreage for 1905 was compiled from re-
liable statistics gathered by the various
state and territorial presidents of the
association and tabulatcd at New Or
leans, La, May 81, by the president
and secretary Of the Southern Cotton
Association and Col. II. G. Hester Of
New Orleans, with the assistance and
cooperation Of the presidents%of the
states and territorial divisions, The
conditions of the crop, as reported for
Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, the terri
tories and portions Of Mississippi are
unprecedentedly bad, much of. the
acreage reported in those states being
yet implanted and large tracts either
under water or badly washed by heavy
rains.
In the eastern portion Of the cotton
belt the fields generally are grassy, the
cotton still u%nchopped and labor scarce
throughout the entire belt. The Off
GERS of the association expressed the
highest commentator of the LOYALTY
Of the farmers, throughout the cotton
territory, in 50 fully living up to their
promises and pledges, in bringing about
50 material a reduction in the cotton
acreage and Use Of commercial fertil
izers under cotton in 1905.
They have fully exemplifod their
ability to accomplish great results and
to ave their country from financial
ruin in the face of impending disaster.
The present demand for cotton is
unprecedented and with a firm and de-
termined stand, higher prices for the
staple will be secured in the near fu-
ture.'

The inaugural ball was the leading

was bright on the first floor to add
as much as possible to the effect of

by degrees it gave an open-air effect at

the public is but little interested IN,
because a limited number ca1l see
them But the parade is for all. Many
saw it from the stands which were
erected along Pennsylvania avenue, on
which seats could be obtained at from
81 to SO each These stands We're so
numerous that temporary saWmlll
was built opposite the White House to
provide the lumber for them. One or
them had a seating capacity OF 5000
But those who occupied seats on the
stands and in the windows were a
small number compared to the thous-
ands who lined the curbs, and shouted
themselves hoarse. They had much
to look upon Washington has seen
many splendid parades, but no such
variety of uniforms ever appeared Oh

The most imposing, if not impress
sive, portion of the inaugural ceremo-
MES undoubtedly took place in the
United States Senate chamber, and
was witnessed by 1000 people. This
was the swearing in of the new Vice
President and the Inaugural ton of the
Senate for another term Of Congress.
These ceremonies were very simple in
themselves, but the fOrmality with
which they were invested, their eXclH-
siveness and the gathering of distin-
gushed men made it an occasion Of
peculiar interest.
There were gathered all that is con-
sidered great in a republic. There were
the representatives Of the highest leg
islative bodies in the world, the Sen
ate and House of Representatives Of
the United States; there was the high
est tribunal in the world, the Supreme
Court of the United States; there were
men who would hold the highest cleo
tive offices in the world, the President
and Vice President of the United
States of America.
In addition there We're the represent
tatives Of every civilized government

on the face Of the earth gathered to do
honor to the administration Of the
United States. There were also gath
cred wealth. beauty and brains Of the
country in the gallery Distinguished
and noted men and women endured the
crush of the crowded corridors to be
present at this national event
Outside the crowds surged around
the capitol and filled the great avenue
leading thereto. Outside there was
cheering incessant over the statesmen
who passed and the military and civic
organizations that gathered, but in
side the capitol, beneath the great
dome. there was an impressive silence
as the Senators gravely gathered il
the hall. for there is sOlemnity as we'll
as enthusiasm in the inauguration Of a
President.
The great inaugural parade was. of
course the spectacular event in which
everybody was most interested. It be-
gan at about 2 o'clock, after the in
augural address had been delivered.
There are various ceremonies in con-
nection with an Inaugural ton when
