From Memphis,

Memphis August 26.-The Commercial
Appeals weekly cotton crop summary for
the central belt is as follows:
Reports on the cotton crop for the past
week do not indicate the prevalence of
universally favorable conditions. There
are sections in which shedding has been
general while in others excessive rains
have aroused grave fears for the plant
in the lowland. More or less deterioration
always occurs during August and though
somewhat delayed this year now seems
appearing. Some correspondents fear that
the extensive growth has been at the
expense of the bolls, but opinion Is
divided on this point.
Weather of the week has been in the
main showery and very hot The east
half of Mississippi has not, however. re-
ceived its share of rain and more COM
plants are made from that section than
elsewhere. In the delta the outlook is still
good. Arkansas conditions have been
maintained while in northern Alabama
positive advancement has been made.
Tennessee conditions remain very good
Picking has not yet become general over
the territory reported upon and in many
sections the cotton Is opening slowly by
reason of the continued plant growth.
Some of the hill lands in sections where
there has not yet been much rain. have
been moving a few bales of new cotton
Rust blight and insects are not COM
planned of. The trouble lies in the more
or less general shedding of the middle
crop.

county was held at Hartselle yesterday.
Six delegates were elected to the con-
gressional district convention which meets

There were only four negroes present
at the convention and none were elected
on the county committee or delegates
to the congressional convention.
Resolutions were adopted indorsing the
national administration and Joseph o.

been eliminated from the republican party
of the county and there is some talk OF
them organizing a party of their own.

NEARING COMPLETION.
Rapid Progress Made on Exhibit
Palaces for jamestown
Exposition.

All at the large exhibit palaces of
jamestown Exposition are rapidly
nearing completion and large num-
Der of buildings and pavilions will be
in readiness for the installation of
exhibits by March LIST. nearly two
months before the date appointed
for the formal opening of the Expo
sition.
The Manufactures and Liberal Arts
Building one of the largest of the
group is under roof. Its sister
ter building machinery and transpor-
tation is about ready to be rooted.
In this structure is an immense con-
vention hall with seating capacity
for 5000 persons, and its location
commands a magnificent view of
Hampton roads.
The frame work of mines and me-
tailurgy, marine appliance, food
products and several other smaller
buildings is well under way. Of the
State buildings. those of Rhode Is
land, Virginia, Maryland, New Jer-
sey. Pennsylvania and Ohio will be
completed by january. The inside
Inn with accommodations for more
than 800 persons will also be COM
pleted by that date.
Work of construction on the gov
eminent buildings and pleasure
piers has begun and will be vigor-
ously pushed to early completion.
The exhibits will embrace every
phrase of industrial development
during three hundred years. arrang-
ed and classified so that visitors can
obtain at once a correct history and
the development of any specifice
branch of industry without visiting
several buildings as has been the
case in former exhibitions.
While the jamestown exposition is
to commemorate the greatest histo-
rical event in history-the founding
of the first English speaking settle
ment in America at jamestown, Va,
in 1907, yet the industrial displays
will form no small part of the cele-
bration.

eral observance of Christmas by the
presentation of gifts to friends and
the considerable kindness displayed
toward all classes of helpless and de-
pendent persons, in providing on
Christmas day for their pleasure and
temporal needs. This, however, is
the least manifestation of the pow
er which the teaching and spirit of
Christ exerts upon mankind. 1t is
especially seen in a more kindly at
itude of men toward each other. The
millennium has not yet arrived, and
the struggles between the nations
and classes will continue for years,
but as the spirit of Him after whom
Christmas is named, finds Judgment
in the human heart. the animosities
which separate men in antagonist in
relations will diminish, and the time
will come when the Christmas spirit
will be displayed during the entire
year as it is now on Christmas day.
What the world needs most for the
right solution of its serious problems
is the Christmas spirit.

Currents and Migra ti0n.

A question is now being discussed
among ethnologists is, to what ex-
tent did the great ocean currents
influence the migration of mankind
from continent to continent in pre-
historic times? The fact that cur
rent, starting near the Malay PENN
sula, and passing the seas of China
and Japan, crosses the Pacific to the
western coast of the United States,
is Regarded by some as significant
concerning the possibility of Asiatics
having reached America by way of
Pacific ocean.
Other vast movement of the wat
ers of the sea, to which attention has
recently been called in connection
with this subject are the South Pa
ciic current. which flows from South
America to the Polynesian islands;
the middle American current, which.
starting near Spain and the northern
coast of Africa and the West Indies
and the North American current
which sweeps along our eastern sea
board and then crosses over the
coasts of Europe.

The Water Cure.

One of the Chinese modes of pun
ishment is to place the cuiprit where
a drop Of water will fall on his head
for hours. or even days. if he can
stand it that long. The tortue this
inflicts is proved by an experience
that Sandow, the strong man, had in
Vienna several years ago. A school
teacher bet him that he would not
be able to let pint of water. drop
by drop, fall on his hand. Sandow
laughed at the very idea of his not
being able to stand it, and the test
began. Although the strong man
talked and jested gayly at first, it
was not long until he began to show
signs of distress. At about the two
hundredth drop-for the school
teacher kept tally-an expression of
pain crossed his face. When the
third hundred had been entered, his
hand began to swell and grow red.
Then the skin burst and the pain
grew more and more excruciating
Finally, at the four hundred and
twentieth drop, Sandow gave it up
and acknowledged himself beaten.

How ii was Done.

tRichmOnd Register.l tDem.1
The canvassing of the returns of
the Democratic primary was about
as great a farce as the election in
which Senator McCreary was sys-
tematically and scientifically held
up and robbed. Only seven of the
Board were present, and they were
in session not exceeding half an hour.
Chairman McQuown stated that he
had couple of clerks canvassing
the vote, enunciated the belief that
they would do all right, and moved
an adjournment, as he had a train
to catch. That settled the counting
of the returns and protest was of no
avail.
There is not the slightest doubt in
our minds, having seen much of
Senator McCreary's correspondence
from the mountain counties, that he
was deliberately and with malice
aforethought unfairly beaten in
these sections. He was simply
counted OUT" without regard to
truth, honor, decency or any moral
reflections. 1t is a shame and dis
grace and a blot on the old Com
monwealth's escutchon that such
things should be. The machine has
triumphed and its manipulators will
enjoy their i'll gotten gains. We
wish them such peace as they
may find in the contemplation of
their knavery and the fruits thereof.
