Sick Bears.

There seems to be nc doubt
that the cotton Weld will be
decidedly reduced this year.
Three causes will bring this
about. 4 large number OF cot
ton growers will voluntarily re-
duce their acreage from IS per
cent. up. In some cases the re-
duction will reach 50 per cent.
On the other hand. there will be
a number OF growers who either
will not or cannot reduce their
acreage. After all il considered
and a liberal allowance ~ made
for those who do not reduce
their acreage. \ decided volnnta-
~ reduction seems certain.
The late season will compel
many TO reduce their acreage
against their will. The plant
ing may be a. much a. three
weeks later than usual and four
or five weeks later Than last
year. The growers on high
lands can partially overcome
this. but those farming low
lands are apparently at the mcr'
cy OF the weather.

depended on for the staple.
Besides the voluntary and
forced reduction IN acreage, it
seems likely that there will be a
still further decrease ia yield.
The average farmer dislikes to
pay out money; and when he
is repeatedly advised TO cut
down the use of fertilizers, he
is likely to yield to the bad ad-

A RELIC Of THE
CIVIL WAR
FOUND I
An 0Id Sword Discovered IN Con-
federate Font on Main
Street.

A relic of the civil war, and one
which is highly priced by the present
owner. was found yesterday by work
men in the employ of the city. The
relic is a sword, which for over forty
years had been covered by earth on
East Main street. and although it Is
in a somewhat dilapidated state, il
is nevertheless a relic which would
be highly priced by many.
During the past few days the city
street force has been at work on
East Main street, near the corner OF
Alcaniz, repairing that thoroughfarc
In order to fill up the holes in the
street it was necessary to tear away
an old fort that had been construct
ed upon the beach by the COnfeder-
ates during the civil war. While at
this work the men found over one
hundred grape shot and a portion OF
a shackle. Yesterday they unearthed
an officers sword. 1t was in a bad
state, and the handle had rotted away,
with the exception of the steel por-
ton. The other part, with the ex-
ception of the rust, is in fair condi-
ton
The sword is Of the old style known
as dOuble-edged. 1t was evidently
made of the finest steel to judge from
its long rest under the soil and its
present condition.
The sword is in possession of
Mayor Bliss and is highly priced by
him.
