Can You Afford to Hold Longer?

The total crop of the season
1904-5, according to last census
ginner's report, was 3,342,5 SIS
bales averaging 500 pounds.
This is obtained by averaging
the bales as counted at ware
house, at 1899 pounds. Secre-
tary Hester, of the New Orleans
exchange, the best authority in
America, estimates the average,
however,a lat 519.S7 pounds, which
would bring the reported cropup
to 1899, 957-500 pound bales
and this is doubtless the accept
ed estimate by the trade.
Another ginner's report has
been ordered by the Census Blu
reau, which will doubtless cover
all the winter gleanings and plan
tation remnants, and will almost
assuredly bring the crop up to
the IA 600, 900 mark or beyond
it particularly according to the
Hester estimate. In this view of
the case, backed by the further
consideration of daily improve.
ment in crop outlook, we ask
whether it is prudent on hepart
of the holders to any longer
stand out against the satisfying
and remunerative temtation of a
ten cent market. The new report
which may be expected within
ten days, is almost certain to be
bearish, and if accompanied or
shortly followed by a report of
condition reasonably assuring a
crop beyond 10000, 900 bales,
will seriously react on p%ricrs.-

The output Of gold in the Transvaal
mines has now broken all records, the
product in May having been SS,S41,-
800, or at the rate of $106, 104, $50 a
year The largest previous output was
in August, 1899, before the Boes war,
when $500, 535 was produced. The
output is increasing all the time, as
closed mines andnew mines are brought
into operation by means of the increased
labor supply. The Rhodesian output
in May was a trifle less than either of
the two preceding months, but slill
nearly twice as great as in May, 1904
The worlds output in 1904 was about
1855 900, 900, of which the Transvaal
produced SIS, 000, 900; Rhodesia, S.

The Gar, who occasionally takes a no.
ton to run things himself, appointed
one of his chums, NJ. Muravieff, as one
of the peace commissioners. There was
so much objection to this appointment
that the Gar felt called upon to recall
it, and name NJ, Witte in Muravief's
place Witte is cordially disliked by
the Gar, as he is regarded as the head
of the peace party in Russia, and bit
terly opposed to the war. He warned
his country Of what would happen if
the war was forced upon Japan, and
would not agree to serve till Gar gave
him full power to conclude the peace
negotiations. So Russia has lost again.

THE WATER AND LIGHT PLANT.
Contractor O'Beirne Completes His Job and
Turns it Over to the City.

S2GSN9S0SASO
Contractor O'Beirne has just
about completed the installation
Of the waterworks plant, and for
the last Jews days has been en-
gagged in some finishing up Jobs,
and will be ready to deliver the
plant, completed, to the city be
fore this goes to press.
The installation of this plant is
an evidence of progressive spirit
an awakening to the needs OF
the times which we are indeed
glad to see, and a lack of which
heretofore has been the principal
bar to our municipal progress.
While the waterworks plant is
not all we would like to see it.,
still it is necessary to crawl be
fore we can walk, and our inves-
tigatIon has led us to believe
that it is complete indeed so far
as it goes. Our city fathers have
we think, wisely not undertaken
to do more than wecouldsafford,
but they have given us a water
system which we feel satisfied
will be a credit to our city. and
that, too, at a reasonable cost.
We know that some of our
citizens have been predicting all
kinds of calamities and failures
in regard to the Waterworks
Plant, and we presume that is
but natural, for all the people OF
a community cannot be expect
ed to think the same way. But,
before we make the statement
that the Mayor and Board of
Aldermen have been investing
the money of the people to no
purpose. we at least owe it to
them to find out just what they
have done with the money. Let
US see what we will have for the
$45, 200 of bonds which have
been issued for waterworks and
electric light purposes.
The waterworks consists of a
pumping plant of one 100 horse
power boiler of a standard
make; a battery of two Heron
pumps of three-quarters a mil
lion gallons capacity, each, per
day; all the necessary gauges,
governors, valves, steam and
water piping, all contained in a
brick building 40 by sixty feet,
which will also be used for a
power house for the light plant.
There has been laid on onr
streets about five and one-half
miles of piping, a little over a
mile of this being s inches i'll
diameter and the balarcc six in
chcs. This pipe is fitted with all
the necessary gate-valves, check
values, valve-boXes, etc. There
have been installed at points
where they will protect the city
from fires, forty-hve high-grade.
standard Corey fire h%ydrants.
There has been purchased and
will be delivered i'll a few days
one thousand feet of Standard
two and one.h alf inch fire hose,
together with the necessary
couplings, siamese connections,
play-piprs, Callaghan Spray
Nozzles, etc. Plans are on foot
to organize a volunteer fire de-
partment, and arrangements
have about been completed to
stable a horse permanently in
the old fire house, with the wag-
on, to pull the same in case of
fire.
For the Electric Light Plant,
the Board has purchased a 90
kilowatt Warren Generator and
a sixteen by twenty-four Hardie-
Tynes Corliss Engine, developing
$50 horsepower, to drive the
same. In addition they have

HARRISON La, July IS, 1905.
Sheriff Of Norubee County,
Macon, Miss,
Dear Sir;
About two weeks ago a Mr.. John c.
Daniels died in this parish and left
some property and life insurance
amounting to some $4,000. He left a
will giving his father part of his proper
ty and strangers the balance. His peo-
pie live in your county, | believe, from
what information | have.
| wish you would hand this letter to
them as o o as you can, provided you
can get at them handy. Daniels will
is fixed for probate on the oath day of
this month and it will be best to get at
the matter at once. His father has the
best right to have the executorship of
the same. If he will write to Wilson &
Taliferro, attorneys at Harrisonburg,
La, they can probably realize some
thing for them.
