COTTON is OPENING FASTER


Memphis, Tenn. -Deterioratiou inthe
crops condition since the middle OF
August is a fact well certified to, yet,
though the loss has been considerable
from a promise which was then excep-
%tional, many correspondents are still
hopeful Of a good yield. Expectations
for a return less than last year, while
they appear, are the exception, but be-
OF recent heavy loss which the
plant has sustained many correspond
ents attach some importance to the date
OF frost and the weather preceding frost.
The past week has been favorable to
the opening of cotton and in hill lands
the fields are inviting to pickers, EX-
cessive heat has retarded gathering,
however, in many sections. Only in q
few localities have the rains been OF
sufficient consequence to do any damage
or to retard the gathering.
The general disposition seems to be
to market the early cotton.
The cotton plant continues to shed its
new forms and some rotting in the rank
and overgrown bottoms is complained
of. The brilliancy formerly attaching
to crop prospects has worn off and con-
ditions have become more normal for
the season. The tone of reports is more
hopeful than was the case ten days ago.

ment:

While We should do all in our power to
bring about peace by Offering the good
offices of our country, we have no bust
ness interfering with their local affairs.
They must settle the disputes among
themselves, but | would be glad if both
parties would be willing to accept me-
diation with the idea of bringing about
an agreement through the good offices
Of u government
Mr.. Bryan pointed out that his ex-
preston was the first he had made on
the present situation in the island and
this was all he cared to say. Mr.. Bryan
spent today resting at Hollins Institute,
his daughter, Miss Grace, has
entered school. In the afternoon he
delivered an address to the students in
the college chapel. Mr.. Bryan spoke
for an hour, dwelling on faith, love and
hope.

The Navajos are a pastoral, patri.

THE STORY.

HERE lay the people amidst the
heaps of quail, where they had
fallen from mere exhaustion after two
days and a night spent / IN killing and
dressing the birds which had SO mi.
facuiously flown in upon the camp.
Moses turned away from the sight
disgust and sorrow struggling for the
mastery. Could this be Gods people?
We're they the children of Abraham
1ourneylng towards a land Of promise?
or We're they beasts of the field with
never a thought that went higher than
their stomachs and the food with
which to fill them?
Three days before the murmnrine
IN the camp had reached its climax,
A large part Of the people had spoken
bitterly or the mama which God had
SO faithfully provided for their needs
every morning, saying that they could
not eat 1t longer, and refusing to go
out and gather the portion for that
day And God had heard the com.
planning and had driven in upon the
camp great multitudes Of quail. so
that the people forgot all else in their
MAD haste to gather, gather, gather.
lest, as they said, they should not
nave enough; not stopping to think
that the God who sent the birds upon
them could keep them supplied. But
no. all else was forgotten in their
sIuttonous eagerness. All that first
day and that night and the next day
following, with scarcely a rest. the
stood up and gathered the quail
IN great heaps, while the women and
the children worked with equal zeal
IN dressing and sailing down the birds
after the manner of preparing fish in
