TO- TALK QUARANTINE
THE RESTRICTIONS BY CUBA WILL
 BE DISCUSSED.
Dr. Porter Pays Yiait tO Pensacola and VIII Confer With Gulteraa and
 Others-Fair at De- Fuuiak SOOn

Pensacola, Fla, Aug. 2s.-(Special. - pr. Joseph Y. Porter, State Health Off, ficeer. arrived in the city last night for the purpose of conferring wieh the local attaches of the State Board of Health and to also arrange for a conference with Dr. J. Guiteras. the Cuban expert on yellow fever, regarding the quaran tine restrictions now imposed by the Cuban Government. The conference will probably be arranged to take place at Flomaton, since the Cuban doctor has been in New Orleans for some time and it is possible that there would be offered some objection to him coming into the State of Florida. Dr. Porter goes to Flomaton for the presumable purpose of holding the conference.
 Dr. Porter was up early this morning and met the local agent of the State Health Board, who is Dr. w. E. Ander- son. Dr. H. L. Simpson, local member of the Health Board, was also in con- ference with his chief. and Dr. Pier pont, acting health officer of the city, was also one of the medical men to meet and converse with Dr. Porter.
 In coming to this city. pr. Porter has filled long-desired plan. He started here a few weeks since when case of fever suddenly developed in South Florida, requiring his presence on the scene. Since the convalescence of this case pr. Porter has had his headquar- ters in Jacksonville, and there has kept in touch with all points of the State. At the first opportunity he came on to Pensacola.
 Everything in this place was found in good sanitary condition, and as proof of this statement five of the ten sani- tary inspectors were discharged today This, when made known to Dr. Porter, seemed to please him very much.

PushInr the Fair.

R. w. Storrs. a newspaper man from DeFuniak, was In the city last night and spoke enthusiastically of the great agricultural fair which Walton County will hold soon, and for which the most active preparations are being made.
 One of the distinctive features of this entertainment the management say, will be the prohibition of any thing like a chance game, so frequently noted on such occasions. This step was taken after mature deliberation and it is thought will help greatly with the show.

Expect Q short Crop.

The prospects of the cotton crop this season grow more gloomy every day, said large planter in the city today. This feeling Is evident among the majority of the farmers and is caused by the continual rains of the past two weeks, which have been gen eral throughout this section of the State and which have about ruined the little crop that was planted. Even if the rains cease the crop will not amount to much over half of what was intended
 The bad weather has caused Lne farmers to become very downhearted over the prospects and even if the cotton that will be raised should bring good price they will not make as much money as they would with an av- craze crop and small prices. This con dition of the crops is reported as being general in this section of the State.
 Rust has appeared in the cotton on many of the farms around here and is running 1t. On other farms 1t is stated that the rain is causing the bolls to rot before they open and that they are dropping off the stalks. In many of the cotton fields there are vast ponds of water standing, which continue to get bigger as the rains continue to fall.

 It is rather early to begin discussing baseball for next season, yet such was the topic of conversation in Selma to day. It is the intention of the tans or the city to get a franchise Tn the new league that will be organized next week in Meridian and to that end they nave gone to work in earnest The com pactness of the league strikes every lover of the game favorably and for that reason the movement to geS selma in is receiving the support of the fol- lowers of the game here and there IS no doubt but that this city will have a team in the new organization when 1t opens next summer.
 Since the receipt of the letter this week from Meridian by MT. Walker asking him to get the lovers or the snort together and to get this city 10 como in, the question has been widely discussed by the devotees at the shrine The unanimous verdict among them IS that the offer is a golden opportunity, which this city should not throw away. A number of citizens have told NAT. Walker to put them down for stock IT the franchise is taken and in every way the movement is receiving the encouragement of the lovers or the game. ,s
 A meeting has been called to be held in W, E.. Callen's office on Water
 
 o'clock. Every indication points to the fact that the meeting will be largely attended and it will result in word heinz sent to Meridian in time Tor the meeting which will be held in that city on Tuesday that Selma will take franchise in the new organization. Ine meeting that will be held Monday at- ternoon will probably result in stock company being formed which will be composed of some of the best business men in the city and later they will app noint a manager and the signing or the club will be started.
 The proposed new league VIII pc composed of clubs in Jackson, Vlcks- burg, Meridian, Mobile, Pensacola ana Gaiyna Four of these cities had teams in the Cotton States League this sum mer and with the exception of Vicks- burg the attendance in those cities was large The attendance next season will very likely be as good and this clty will support a good team. The salary limit is to be about Sl,2oO per month and each club is not to carry over twelve men.
 go far there is but one question that the fans of this city do not agree upon That Is the question of the grounds where the games will be played Some are in favor of the games being played across the river at Riverside park. where they have been played m the e past. Others want the ground on the etreet car line. They argue that when a man goes to see a game of ball he has stopped work for the day and that riding to and from the game will get him cooled of. The walk across the County bridge and through the stretch on salnd in the hot sun they think will keen many from attending the games But the park question will be settled after the franchise is secured.

selma's Cotton Receipts.


 Selma's cotton receipts for the year which will close on the first of Septem- Der will almost double those of any previous year in the history of the city. It is thought that the receipts for this year will reach the 130,000 mark, but as cotton is coming in very slowly there is some doubt as to their going that high, although when the year ends the figures will be very close to those figures. The receipts up to date are 124,94f. Of thIs amount there is in the warehouses here 1,952 bales.
 The receipts of this city during any of the past five years do not come any where near the figures they will this year. Last year the receipts were larger than any of the previous years and even they will fall about 37.527 bales behind the receipts of this year. During the year 1903-4 the receipts were S7.42O bales; 19o2-3. 67,164 bales 1so1-2, 71.403 bales; 1900-1. 69.232 bales; 1S99-0, 6e,S41 bales.
