OUR SUPREMACY IN COTTON
Final Report OF the Government Blu
reau Shows United States Will
Remain Supreme.

An elaborate discussion of the
worlds cotton production in 1905,
contained in the final report just is
sued by the census bureau, goes to
show that the United States is in no
danger of losing its commanding
place as the origin OF supply.
It is made clear that the possibili-
ties for increasing the production are
as great in the United States as in In
dia, in Central and South America,
and greater than in Egypt. This
statement is made concerning the
available cotton acreage in our cot
ton growing region:

ton producing region of the United
States is estimated at 700,0 900 square
miles or 5000, 600 acres. OF this.

MOB RODE IN SPECIAL TRAIN.
Trip Had Been Carefully Arranged
to Lynch a White Man.

A Tallulah, La, dispatch says:
Robert 7. Rogers, white man, who
was awaiting his third trial on
the charge of numbering Jesse Brown,
a merchant at Girard, Richland Par
ish, waslynched by a mob at midnight
which came from the west on spe-
cial train over the Vicksburg, Shreve-
port and Pacific railroad.
The mob appeared after 10 O'Clock
and came fully prepared with lock-
smiths, who had no trouble breaking
into the jail. The jail was unguarded
and the sheriff, who lived some dis
lance away, was not aware of what
was going on until he saw the mob
leading the man off. Rogers was
strung up to telegraph pole, and as
soon as they felt assured he was dead
the mob quietly dispersed.
The feeling that Rogers would es-
cape punishment for his awful crime
because of legal technicalities prompt
ed the lynching. According to the
evidence adduced at the first trial in
March, 1904, Rogers and two other
white men named Anderson and Wo-
mack, together with two negroes, en-
tered the store of Jesse N. Brown, a
merchant at Girard in this parish,
and after shooting him number of
times and striking him over the head
with their pistols set fire to the body.

A Washington dispatch says:


A Washington dispatch says:
"Mr. Burleson, of Texas, in dis
cussing the sectionalism displayed by
the appointing power in selecting
diplomatic and consular officers, gave
an interesting series of figures to bear
out his contention. He stated that
in the eleven southern states of Vir-
ginia, North Carolina, South Caro-
lima, Florida, Alabama, Louisiana,
Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee and
Texas there were but three diplomatic
officers as against the central east
with 33; New England, IA; Middle
West 80; Pacific Slope s, and the
District of Columbia 4.
AS to consular officers, the figures
are still more interesting, Mr.. Burle-
son showing that from fifteen south
ern states, with membership in the
house of 1872, there are but "A consular
officers, the states of Kentucky, Mary

seven of this number. The middle
