. COTTON-A DECLARATION OF
INDEPENDENCE.

In an address issued by the Southern
Cotton Association, the purposes of the
association and an account of what. it
has already accomplished are set forth
for the benefit of the people of Texas
The address sounds like declaration off
Independence. 1t is, in fact, a declara-
ton of the revolt that has been success
fully made against the forces which in
the past have been preventing the
Southern cotton planter from obtaining
fair price for his cotton. The revolt
is well organized, the fight is to the fin
iah, the result must, by reason of right,
be with the association.
1t is potent fact, says the Houston
Chronicle. that the fight of the associa-
ton to organize the planters and hold
cotton for better prices resulted in i'm
mediate good The price did go up from
four or five cents to ten cents in the be
ginning of the battle, and has several
times since been sent way beyond these
figures. Not only have the planters
been benefited by this increase, but its
.neficial influence has been felt by
every interest throughout the South.
truly, then. he would be a niggard who
would fail to regard the association as a
benefactor to this part of the world
Facts, cried Mr.. Gradgrind, give
me factsn' and the address gives facts.
When the association was formed Janu-
airy u, 1905, cotton in the interior was
selling at five and one-half cents. There
was a crop of fourteen million bales

WORK OF THE TERRoRIsTs.
Riot and AssassinatiOn Continue
in Unhappy Russia.

General yoularski. acting military
encouragement of Warsaw, was shot
and killed at o'clock Monday after
noon while driving in a cab. The assas-
sin escaped. General Vonliarski was
the commander of the Fifth Army
Corps, stationed at Warsaw.
General Min, commander of the Sem
inovsky Guard Regiment and per-
sonal adjutant in the suite of the Car,
was assassinated Sunday night at Pc
terhof by young woman, who fired
five shots into his body and then sub.
girl was effected by General Minis
wife, who held her until the arrival of
an officer. Any Of the five wounds in
flicted by the girls bullets would have
resulted fatally.
This act of terrorism, following
closely Saturdays unsuccessful attempt
on the life of Premier Stolypin, with
its sickening slaughter Of thirty-two
persons, together with other develop
ments of the day in the reign Of vio-
lence, has caused the utmost alarm in
official circles.
One Of these developments was an at
tempt on the life of General Kaulbars,
governor OF Odessa. 4 girl dropped a
bomb in the Nicholas boulevard fifty
PAGES from the palace Of the governor.
There was deafening defamation and
a wild stampede of the promenaders.
No one was injured except the girl,
whose hand was shattered. 1t Is sup
posed that the bomb accidentally fell
from her hand as she was making her
way to the door of the palace. She and
another girl and a university student
who was accompanying them were ar
rested.
The increased activity of the reds
has caused renewed talk of a military
dictatorship. According to a report cur
rent meeting of the camarilla dis.
cussed the question at Peterhof and a
majority was in favor Of such step.
Two other attempts had been made
recently ON the life of General Min

battalion under his command and espe.

The Crops of 1905.

In the aggregate cereal yield 1906 will
break all records. This is indicated by
figures of condition and acreage just made
public by the Department of Agriculture,
The corn crop will amount to 2,693, 0O0,-
600 bushels, il present prospects hold out
few weeks longer. This will lack only
II, 100000 bushels of reaching the biggest
figures of the past, the yield for 1903.
But there is hope that even the 1905
crop will be left behind. In no year ex-
cept 1905 were the corn prospects so
bright as they are at this moment.
The wheat crop has passed all former
records. 1t amounts to 759. 100000 BUSH
els. The winter wheat crop is 492, O00,-
600 bushels and the spring variety is
267 100000. The largest previous aggre-
gate wheat yield was in 1901. when it
was 74S000,000 bushels, or 100000
below the 1906 total. As the preliminary
figures of the Department of Agriculture,
like those just given out, are usually be-
low the aggregate which is found in the
final roundup, there is an excellent
chance that the indicated 10000, 900
bushels for 1906 will turn out to be
greater than this when the returns are
all in
Oats, rye, barley, buckwheat and pota-
toes arc also up to high figures in the es-
innate made by the Department of Agri-
culture. Hay shows slight falling off
in acreage, and probably in yield. But
the grand aggregate of the country's great
crops will be larger than in any former
year. This will be needed because the
country is growing with great rapidity.
Not far from 100000 are being added
to our population each year nowadays,
with the immigration considerably above
the 100000 mark. Prices remain high
which means that the producers will get
big returns for their crops. The farmer
is the favored man these days. The coun.
try is accommodating wealth at rate be.
