A big. broad-shOuldered. cookbook
ing young fellow of about oight-and-
twenty was sitting in a dingy little
room in Bloomsbury. answering a let
ter he had just received.
Harry Ballard had been looking out
for a chance Of accompanying a read
ing party abroad during the long vaca-
tion. and by good luck an even better
billet had come his way. An old friend
of his father-a Mr.. Ffolkes-had writ
ten to him to engage his services as
tutor and general bear leader to his
son. young Everard Ffolkes. during a
forthcoming Swiss tour.

thoroughly nice lad and the whole ex-
peditiOn seemed to partake more Of the
nature Of a holiday than serious work.
The two trudged afoot through lovely
valleys. up turf clad slopes, over rock
bound. magnificent passes. drinking IN
the clear air and enjoying themselves
rather like two schoolboys than a
tutor and his pupil.
Everard wanted 10 climb a noun

NOTES OF THE
JAMESTOWN EXPOSITION.

The jamestown Exposition, near
Norfork, Va, next year will be open
longer than any similar enterprise yet
held in the United States. 1t is to
run from April 26 to November 30
seven months and five days.
The Arts and Crafts Village at the
jamestown Exposition will be a
feature never before seen at a nat
ional celebration. 1t is bound to be
one of the great attractions, and being
something new it will be visited by
millions.
The jamestown Exposition will be
one vast Colonial city in architecture,
environment, art and industrial ac-
tivity. The exposition visitor will
live during his stay in an atmosphere
of Colonial romance and history. To
paraphrase Napoleon IS famous remark
at the Pyramids, Three centuries
will look down upon you"
Lees Parade, the large space set
aside on the grounds of the James
town Exposition for the drill work of
the military bodies from all nations,
is named in honor Of Gen. Robert E..
Lee, the great Confederate chieftain
and one of Virginia's favOrite sons.
These military parades and drills
will SurpaSS any that have been held.
The evolution of war craft and
other Shipping will be portrayed at
the jamestown Exposition next year,
not by pictures and drawings, but by
real wood and metal models Of correct
size. The three ships which brought
the first settlers across from England
to jamestown will be reproduced
faithfully, riding at anchor off the
exposition grounds in Hampton Roads.
Norfolk and the neighbOring towns
and cities in Tidewater Virginia are
making extensive preparations to
handle the vast thrOngS of visitors
who will attend the jamestown Ter
Centennial Exposition in 1907. In
addition to the scores of hotels and
the hundreds of boarding houses al
ready in these cities and summer re-
sorts by the sea, many new hotels of
a temporary character, though we'll
built, are being constructed near the
grounds.

FARMERS SHOULD
DEMAND Better PRICES

The following from the Washington
Post should. be encouraging to the
cotton farmer and should stimulate
the idea that he should demand and
may expect a fair and legitimate
price for his cotton:
The cotton SpinnerS Of Lancashire,
England, raised commission of eX-
perts to visit all the cotton growing
lands Of the world and investigate the
industry. Their report has been
made, and is to the effect that the
United States must continue the
source of the main supply. Egypt is
proving AS much Of a disappointment
! as India as cotton country, and it is
generally agreed that our Southern
States will lead in this important in
dustry for many years to come. Is
King COttOn'S Scepter to be restored
to him? Forty years ago the plant
was cultivated for the fiber only; but
now cotton has become food as we'll as
raiment. The oil extracted from the
seed is rapidly supplanting lard in the
kitchen, and it is even more rapidly
Supplanting olive oil on the table.
The meal is good for man as we'll as
beast, and at an exposition at Atlanta
some time AGO it was made into ash
cake, heocake, pOne, batter cake, pie
crust and pOundcake, and all were
pronounced excellent. Mixed with
wheat flour or corn meal, the bread or
biscuit is all that can be desired.
Again, it is discovered that the cot
ton stalk, after it has yielded it's lint
and its seed, is a very valuable raw
material for making printing paper.
superior, in fact, to the best article
of spruce pulp, and very much cheap
er. In addition, the biprOduct is
is valuable as fertilizer and there is
also made in the process of turning
cotton stalk into paper considerable
alcahOl, excellent for use id the arts.
If farming were carried on at the
South as it is in some of the European
countries the yield Of cotton per acre
would be more than doubled, and that
without the employment of any addi
tiOnal labor. In the days of slavery
the cotton planter was the most pros
porous man in the country, and he
will become SO again whenever he in
telligently sets about improving his
tillage. A bale to the acre ought to
be the average Weld"

The Boy and the Pump.

1t does not pay to advertise say:
some merchants who have done but
little of it and that without keeping
it up. The incident of the boy anc
the pump illustrates the matter very
we'll. The boy was sent after pai
of water. He poured in the priming
and poured out as much as he poured
in. Then he stopped to rest and the
priming ran down After some time
of alternate pumping and resting he
concluded it did not pay to pump and
quit in disgust. The merchant who
does not believe in advertising does
it like the boy did the pumping. He
advertised a few weeks, then stopped
a while and allowed the people to for
get him and his business before he
advertised again and then concluded
advertising didn't pay.

BREWER SPRINGS SURPR|S
In Speech at Flags Chapel
Near Jackson
ONE CANDIDATE BACKED BY THE RAILROADS
He Mentions Conference in Memphis
and New Orleans Between Prom
inent Railroad Officials and
One of the Candidates.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 24.-Hon
Earl Brewer, of Clarksdale, one Of the
candidates for governor, has enliven-
ed the campaign by making the direct
charge that one of his opponents il
being backed by the railroads for the
office, and that the legal department
Of the Illinois Central system IS
working in his behalf.
The charge was perferred by Mr..
Brewer yesterday in a public address
delivered at Flagg'S chapel, five miles
west of this city. The name OF the
candidate backed by the railroad in
fiuence was not mentioned by the
speaker, but he promised to reveal it
later, backed by documentary evl-
dence to prove bis assertion.
During the speech Mr.. Brewer
stated that some time ago conference
was held in Memphis between Vice
President j. L Harahan OF the llli-
noiS Central, and large party of at
torneys representing that corporation
in this state: that one of the candi-
dates for governor of Mississippi was
present at the conference. Several
railroad officials who had promised tC
support him (Brewer) for the govern
OrShip, came to him and said that
for certain reasons, they would be
compelled to withdraw their support
Mr.. Brewer further declared that
another conference was held at New
Orleans where railroad attorneys and
this certain candidate for governor was
present, and that a few days latter he
encountered other Withdrawals of sup
port, the parties intimating that
they would lose their jobs unless
they supported the railroad candidate.
More than one thousand persons
were present and heard Mr.. Brewer
address, and much speculation was
rife concerning the personality of the
candidate alluded to. 1t is stated
that in conversation with personal
friends Mr.. Brewer mentioned the
name of the alleged railroad candidate
but he does not see fit to make it pub
lie at the present time.
Mr.. Brewer also charges that the
Memphis Appeal is dominated by the
friends of Hon. Charles Scott, and
that other candidates for governor are
not receiving fair treatment IN its
columns.

for the purpose of overhauling the en-
gine, and will run regularly every
Saturday from now on, winter and
summer.
The successful operation of any
ginnery, such as theirs, depends very
largely on the ability of the one who
acts as gin foreman or superintendent,
and in this respect the Mississippi
Cotton Oil Co.; is particularly fortu-
nate, much more so, perhaps, than
most people operating gin plant, as
they have secured the services of Mr..
FeStuS Bailey, who is Of we'll known
ability in this section, and who will
operate the above gin this season.
He ran this plant previous to this
time for six years and gave entire
satisfaction to the public, and will be
glad to see his old friends and cuSto-
merS again, at the same old place.
Manager j. NJ. Brown will be in
the Company'S Office, as heretofore,

business man and is one of Grenada S
leading citizens.

573 CORRESPONDENTS
REPORT ON COTTON CROP
The Galveston (Texas) News Gathers Information
About Cotton Conditions in Texas, Oklahoma
and Indian Territory-Much Deterioration
Shown-Damage by Boil Weev and Worm

than twO-thirds of the Texas counties
report excessive rains: rank growth of
plant, shading of the fruit and in
some instances, rotting and shedding,
either because of weather, bugs or
worms.
About One-fourth Of the cotton
counties report favorable conditions.
Picking is general only in the south
ern portion of the state and is delayed
by rains. Many correspondents say
that if the rains would cease and sum
shine weather would prevail, the crop
in their sections would still be good.
Upon the other hand, a very large
number of correspondents declare
that there will be no top crop, and
some that the middle crop is doomed.
