tious, and so impressive as this" and
then went on to review the situation
in full.
Now, in view Of these facts, does 1t
not seem the height Of folly that the
south, owning a monopoly Of the
worlds supply of raw cotton, and hav-
ing the possibilities of an unlimited
increase in cotton production, should
be so Indifferent to this her grand op-
portunity for fixing and maintaining
price commensurate with the worlds
demand for raw cotton! 1t is very
painful contrast between the attitude
Of the English government to the Eng
lish cotton trade, and our government to
the American cotton trade. England is
not half so indebted to her cotton in
dustry for her financial welfare as
America is, to say nothing Of the south.
1t is mark Of the grossest ignorance
not to say stupidity, on the part Of the
southern business men not to take the
proper view Of their relation to the
cotton industry in fixing and maintain
ins remunerative price. To sell our
cotton at 10 cents a pound for next
fall delivery is to forestall the work
Of the Southern Cotton association
and place the consumers or purchas-
ers Of our cotton in position to die
tate the price.
"At meeting Of the executive COM
mittee of the Southern Cotton associa-
ton, held In Jackson, Miss, on May
81, the following resolution was pass
ed: Resolved, That we call upon our
members and the producers Of cotton
at large not to sell their actual cotton
for future delivery; as we have every
reason to believe and feel confident
that the price Of cotton must advance
materially beyond the present fall
quotations
"In view Of the article quoted from
the Lancashire paper, all that we have
to do In order to fix and maintain
fair price is simply to refuse to take
less. And this may not be done. ex-
cept by and with the full cooperation
Of all southern business interests.
According to Mr.. Hutton, the world
will need 100000 bales or more. 1t
has practically consumd $4,000 900 bales
in each Of the years 1904 and 1905
With only partial Organization we
have been able to maintain price Of
slightly over 10i cents average. At least
"a cents above what we probably would
have obtained without an organiza-
ton.
II hope every business man in the
state will read this article and study
It carefully and then decide as to
whether or not he can help in the
great opportunity now presented to
the south Of reaping abundant wealth
from this, her great staple crop in
such pressing demand by the world at
large.
stop selling cotton for fall deliv-
cry; organize in every community for
the erection of proper warehouses and
the proper financing Of the crop. so
that we may be in position to supply
the world with cotton as 1t needs 1t
at price satisfactory to US"

Dear Farnum:
How about those beer and whisky
ads you promised me? Send me the
copy, so I can commence publishing
them. Every little helps to make the
Record bigger and stronger paper.
The way the Record has made Dukes
fight for him has more than ever dem
onstrated the value of the Record as
a friend and defender Of the dispen-
sary and its officers. II the Record
were a bigger and better paper, 1t could
effectively take care of the dispensa-
ry's interests. 1t would be such pa
per II all the firms which do business
through the dispensary In this state
were to give 1t their patronage. The
dispensary people are anxious to see
the Record branch out and are going
to take a good block Of its stock to
help make improvements. AS 1t
stands, the Record Is a good piece
of property more than paying expenses.
With new machinery, It can be made
a good Garner. 1t will pay you, direct
ly and Indirectly, to take several hum
dred dollars worth preferred stock.
The shares are worth $25 each. How
many will you take?
Yours truly,

ADMIRAL ROJESnFEHSKY
FORMALLY ACQUITTED
-Four Other Officers Found Guilty
and Sentenced to Be Shot.
CHARGED WITH CoWARDIcE

Indictment a Scathing, Arrangement
of Men Who Surrendered to Jap
anese 49, Sailors Left to Be
Drowned--Czar May Interfere.
Cronstadt, Russia. Admiral Ro-
iestvensky, who was tried on the
charge of surrendering to the enemy
after the battle Of the Sea Of Japan
before court martial here, was ac-
quilted after the court had deliber-
ated for nearly ten hours.
Four officers of the torpedo boat
destroyer Bedovi, who were placed
on trial with the admiral, were found
guilty of having premeditatively sur
rendered the Bedoyi, and all four
were condemned to death by shoot
ing. On account of extenuating cir
cumstances the emperor will be re-
quested to commute the sentences to
dismissal from the service.
The full report Of the court mar
tial shows that Admiral Rojestvensky
was acquitted on the ground that he
was not in his full senses and, there
fore, was not accountable for what
transpired at the time of the surren-
der.
Some of the officers who were tried
with Rojestvensl1y were acquitted,
their guilt not being proved.
The recommendations for mercy in
the cases of Captain de Colongue,
chief Of Rojestvensky's stan; Captain
Baranoff, of the torpedo boat de-
stroyer Bedovi; Fillipovsky and
Leontieff, who were found guilty and
sentenced to be shot, we're in accord
ance with the regulations, and based
on the physical and mental demorali-
cation produced by the long voyage
and shock OF the disaster in battle.
They were also credited with desire
to save the life of Rojestvensky
The Indictment charged Admiral
Rojestvensky, who commanded the
Russian fleet at the battle of the Sea
Of Japan, and the officers of the tor
pedo boat destroyer Bedovi with cow
ardice in surrendering to the enemy.
The indictment was a crushing ar
raignment of the decentralization and
cowardice of the officers, contrasting
their conduct with that Of the officers
of the torpedo boat Grozny, which, in
practically the same position as the
BedOvi, engaged and sank a Japan
ese torpedo boat.
The testimony brought out details
of the coldblooded way in which Cap
tain Baranoff, of the Bedovi, aban-
doned the crews of the battleships
Oslabia, Kniaz Suvaroff and Alexan-
der III. to death by drowning. The
president of the courtvirtually called
Baranoff coward in open meeting.
Rojestvensky submitted his case,
in lieu of pleading by counsel, in the
following words: 'Sirs: Russia's feet
has been Inundated; the people have
confidence in you; await my pun
ishment'

with big collar, but If something
simpler is desired the collar can be
omitted and the neck can be finished
either in V-shape or cut out to form

combining the entire jacket at the
waist line, the fulness at the back
can be held by band on the under
side while the fronts are left free.
The jacket consists of the fronts
and back. The back is plain but the
fronts are tucked at their upper
edges, these tncks providing beccm-
ing fulness below the stitchings.
When the collar is used it finishes
the neck, but when it is omitted a
band of trimming can be applied
over the edge. The sleeves are in

or with bands.

to another doctor. but be could not help
him, and in our despair we went to a
third one. Matters became SO bad that
he had regular holes in his cheeks, large
enough to put finger into. The food
had to be given with a spoon, for his
mouth was covered with crusts as thick
as finger, and whenever he opened the
mouth they began to bleed and suppurate,
as did also his eyes. Hands, arms, chest
and back, in short, the whole body, was
covered over and over. We had no rest
by day or night. Whenever he was laid
in his bed we had to pin Ills hands down,
