SHOULD CELEBRATE
 ACREAGE REDUCTION.

President Harvie Jordan of the Southern Cotton association, has decided that the farmers in all the cotton growing counties should meet in their respective communities on July 4th, have barbecues, speaking and make the day one of general rejoicing this year on account of the splen- did work accomplished by the farmers m reducing the cotton acreage for 1905.
 President Jordan says: Every report issued on the cotton acre. age of 1905, including the United States government report of June 2, indicates beyond all question of doubt that the cotton acreage for this year has been materially reduced by the farm CTS, thereby making another ab- normally large crop with ex- tremely low prices an impossl- bility. Southern cotton growers are to be highly commended for thus standingso loyalty by their pledges and promises, which will save the South from financial ruin and disaster.
 ''The farmers also held their cotton from the markets during most depressing period in Jan' uary and February, thereby en- phasizing their ability to protect their interests from the devast- ating influences of speculation. The cotton holding movement has saved the South $50, 100000 in the value of the cotton unsold on January 26, and the reduction in cotton acreage will insure 10 cents per pound for the staple next fall. We should therefore have day of general rejoicing for the great work accomplished.
 FOURTH OF JULY SELECTED.
 ''The Declaration of American Independence from the yoke of foreign domination was signed on July 4, 1776. I think that a fitting day for southern cotton growers to assemble together and declare their freedom and independence from foreign com- binations which in the past have dictated the price of the great money staple crop of the south. I therefore issue this call, earn estly asking that the cotton growers all over the south meet on Tuesday, July 4, 1905, either in their local beats, townships, militia districts, or at their coun- ty seats, and have barbecues or basket dinners, speeches and make of the day one of general rejoicing. I trust also that strong resolutions will be passed at these meetings emphasizing loyalty and patriotism to each other, and agreeing that no cot ton shall be sold during the bal ance of the present year for less than 10 cents per pound.

The rubies obtained are of large

even surpass those found in the earth.
The natural forces attending the for
nation of diamonds seem to have
been more complicated, and so far the
diamonds resulting from the efforts of
the scientists have been very small,

as the carbon crystalline diamond.
They are remarkably clear and bright.

The electric furnace has enriched
chemistry with whole series of new

value to mankind at large is Calcium

water to Calcium Carbide generates
the gas Acetylene. which is now being

well-known legal light of Essex coun-

superior court were pitted against
each other in an important life insur-

company and Mr.. Thompson for the

anxious to put into the case certain
affidavits. and Mr.. Ives was equally
strenuous in opposition.

decided in Mr. Thompson's favor, and
he proceeded to read, with much en-

AS Mr.. Thompson finished reading

Washington, (SpeciaD.-The pension

history on January FL last, the number
being 1904, 100. The roll passed the mil
lion mark in September of last year and
gradually increased for the next four
months. The decline began with the first

and of this number 3o,324 were survivors
Of the Civil War.
On June 80, 1905, the roll contained the
names of 684,6o8 survivors of the Civil
War, decrease of over 5000 from the
previous year.
The total amount disbursed for PEN
sions for the fiscal year was SAL, 1861,

Tattooed Women.

There are two sorts of tattooing in
use among the women of the Congo.
One is common to all the members Of
the same tribe, and indicates the orr
gin and birthplace of the subject. It is
an infallible and perpetual certificate
of birth and nationality. The other
sort of tattooing is simply fantasy and
coquetry. But among certain tribes
there is third kind. The women re-
cord upon their bodies the epochs Of
their existence. A horizontal line
marks marriage, oblique lines the
birth of children, vertical line wean-
ing. another line change Of residence.
Thus the autobiography Of the woman
is written upon her person, and re-
garded with pride if it is full of events.
