COTTON CROP REPORT

Last Monday the ..rimes- Demo.
crat presented the reports OF Its
correspondents as to the history OF
the cotton crop during the month
Of July. The consensus OF opinion
is to the following effect:
/. Taking the belt as a whole,
the status is pretty much what it
was at the end of June, the change,
II any, has been in the direction OF
slight improvement.
2. The crop is exceedingly spot
ted, sharp deterioration in some
districts being offset by equally
marked betterment in others.
3. There has been some further
abandonment of original acreage:
10 consequence of.excessive rainfall.
4. Generally speaking, there is
too much weed aud too little fruit.
5 The boll-weeyil has made its APP
pearance in some parts Of Texas.
but no important damage apprears
% be expected.
6. The situation may be summed |
Up by saying that the outlook is
critical. Perfect weather and
ate srost must be had to avert
disaster.

A WARNING TO MOTHERS

Too much care cannot DO used with
small children during the hot weather
OF the summer months TO guard against
bowel troubles. AS rule it is only
necessary to give, the child q dose of
castor oil to correct any disorder Of the
bowels. Do not use any substitute, but
give the old-fashIoned castor oil. and
and see that it Is fresh. as rancid oil
nauseates and has tendency to CRIME.
Il this does not check the bowels give
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Diar-
rhoee Remedy and then dose Of
castor oil, and the disease NAV be
checked in its incipiency and all danger
avoided. The castor Oil and this rene.
dy should be procured at once and kept
ready for instant use as soon as the
first indication of any bowel trouble
appears. This is the most successful
known and may be relied
upon with implicit confidence even in
cases Of cholera infantum. For sale

John Arbuckle, the rich Brooklyn

John Arbuckle, the rich Brooklyn
manufacturer, has invented q
method for cooling and drying the
air Ut rooms, no matter how hot
and humid it may be outside. The
plan consists Of pipes containing
brine, which is carried around the
room, being forced very much like
the heat is forced in winter, and the
more intense the pressure the lower
will become the temperature. The
secret Of it is that the moisture is
taken from the air, being concealed
on the pipes, from which it is then
and the humidity is thus
done away with. No ice nor chemi-
Gals are used. This method of
cooling has been exprimentally |
demonstrated at the Hotel Margaret, |
and those who have seen it 10 opera
ton say that it is a great success.

Ten Cent Cotton.

The South is to be congratulated
on the prospects for general pros.
perity during the next eighteen
months. The loyalty of the South
ern farmers in standing together
during three months OF the year
and holding their staple off a de-
pressed cotton market and following
this by curtailing production for
1905 by materially reducing the
cotton acreage and use Of guano
under cotton is mo.e largely re-
sponsible for the present condition
of good prices than all other causes
combined.
The loyalty of southern bankers,
cotton men, fertilizer companies
and business men generally, who
have so generously contributed
funds to the ASSOCIATION, and the
southern press which, during the
hard struggle Of the farmers for the
past six months to whit the fight
they had undertaken, has done such
valiant and effective public service
without price, are other highly i'm
portant factors in making possible
existing conditions.
All of these things coupled with
bad seasons following in the wake
of a heavily reduced acreage and
an enormous demand for spot cot
ton by the spinners of the world
gives to cotton tie strongest sta
tistical position, it has occupied in
many years. II crop conditions do
not rapidly improve the supply of
raw cotton for consumption in 1906
will fall far short of the demand and
prices will go very much higher.
But abnormally high prices will be
as dangerous for the future to the
producer and spinning as abnor-
mally low prices, and we must en-
1eavor to be conservative and con-
,istent.
It will be the part Of wisdom for
Ill cotton producers to discourage
speculative interests thst would
end to drive the price of spot cot
on above - cents per pound, just
e it is imperative that no farmer
hould ever again sell b pound of
niddling cotton Under 10 cents per
'ound. Let US not encourage ill.,
ated prices that will hamper the
pills, curtail consumption of cotton
nd encourage the growth of The
taple in foreign fields. We hold
complete monopoly of the cotton
OF the world up to II cents
er pound, and at that price good
rofits to the producer can be
salized.-Baton Rouge Truth.

First Aid Advice

Many inquiries have come to the
Picayune as to what should be done
in case person was stricken with
illness, and suspected the mosquito
fever.
The symptoms are usually most
severe pains in the head and back,
followed by chill, and then high
temperature and low pulse.
The first duty is to get the patient
under q mosquito bar and make
sure he is tightly tucked in. Then
send for a doctor. Then give him
an active purgative, and wrap him
up in blankets, so as to produce free
perspiratlon. Enforce absolute
quietude on him, and make him re-.
main still.
The doctor will then tell you what
else to do.
