the damage will not be so great as was
first supposed. In some localities
farmers will probably be compelled to
reseed to spring wheat but as they are

Alabama Director Over the <, Prospects.
Luverne Editor and Member of Ala bama Board Talks of In-
 side Work of Formation of Cotton Trust.

H. Y, Brooke of Luverne, editor of The Critic, and a member of the direc- torate for Alabama of the Cotton Plant CTS Commission Company. organized at the great gathering of cotton growers in New Orleans, passed through Mont somery last night en route to his home.
 MT. Brooke is intensely enthusiastic over the results of the New Orleans meeting and believes that lasting ben ent will be the .South's on account of this meeting.
 The gigantic corporation which was formed by the farmers to pull up the price of cotton and reduce the acreage, has a board of directors from each cot ton growing State. MT. Brooke Is a member of the Alabama directorate and believes that the effects of the meet ing will soon be apparent in the cotton market.
 Tt was the biggest thing that the South has had for many years" said MT. Brooke. There were over 2,o00 del- egates present at the meeting and ev- cry one of these men was vitally inter- ested in the success of the meeting. Not a detail was omitted, and right now the legal phase of this cotton com bine is being drawn up by one of the Seuth's most eminent lawyers, Mir. Farror of New Orleans.
 ''The final plans for raising price of cotton were completed by the Cotton Association Saturday. Brown, the fa- nous cotton King, who ran the price up to Is cents per pound last year, is the general who Is to be in command of the farmers, with eminent business men and fnanciers in different parts of the cotton growing States on his staff The directors in the Cotton Planters Commission Company are ap- portioned to each State in proportion to the amount of cotton produced. Ala bama named as it's directors Louis B. Farley of Montgomery, Commissioner of Agriculture Poole, A. H. Hill of BFantley and H. Y. Brooke of Luverne. The corporation will be capitalized at $100.000, and shares are only 10 cents and no one is allowed 10 own more than per cent. of the stock, which is to be sold to the farmers.
 The plan can best be understood by illustrations: A man owning ten bales of cotton at the present market price could get about $500 for it. He deposits two bales of the ten in the pool. which cotton 8 not to be sold until after the 1st day of October, 1905. It Is known that with 2,000,000 bales taken off the market that his other eight bales would go to 10 cents in a short time and he could realize $400 for the same and have profit of $100 and two bales of cotton left.
 'fhe cotton held in the pool will be used as a club to force a reduction of acreage by the large planters. If the board of directors of the corporation are informed by the Cotton Association that the acreage Is net reduced. then they would dump the 100000 bales on the market on the 1st of October and get the then prevailing prices. leaving those in the lureh who failed to reduce their acreage

The AntI-AmputatIOn Jap..

London Globe.
 During the present war the Japanese
 have followed the new rule generally
 of not amputating shattered limbs on
 the fields of battle. but of putting a
 plaster of paris dressing on them. So far, cut of 500 wounded Russians, only one arm has been amputated, and in that case the arm had to be removed in consequence of trouble supervenIng. In all cases the bones have healed well. It is clear that the gunshot wounds from the modern infantry rifle are less dangerous to life than they were in former days Wounds received in the lungs or stomach heal often without any surgical treatment or operation. All pieces of shot or gar ments taken from wounded men are sent to Tokio. where they are being preserved. as are also all other "prepa- rations' resulting from the surgical treatment of the wounded.
