nized it and at once commenced to
practice the words.
"Devonshire" and Sharpe" gave him
the capitals for Dear Sirs." He was
at loss for a capital &C." but he saw
that Philip used the simplest and bold
est outlines in his caligraphy, and ne
must risk a "C'' without the upper
loop. In Lady NJ" too, he had the
foundation of the "E" to precede the
requisite figures Soon he framed a
letter in the fewest words possible:
Yours of today's date received. Kindly
sell consols value G150, 600 and place the
same to my credit.
He copied it again and again, until
1t was written freely and carelessly,
and every letter available compared ia
vorably with the original in his posses
sion. Then he posted it, thus saving a
! day, according to his calculations.
With this missive committed irrev-
ocably to the care of his majesty 8
mails, Victor Grenier's spirits rose.
Now, indeed, he was in the whirlpool.
Would he emerge high and dry in the
| Ell Dorado of gilded vice which he
longed to enter, or would fortune con-
sign him to Portland again--perchance
| to the scaffold? He could not say. He
would not feel safe until Philip Arson
was myth and Victor Grenier a
/ reality, with many thousands in the
bank.
Already he was planning plausible
lies to keep Mason out of his fail
share of the plumber. \ few more
forged letters would easily establish
the fact that he was unable to Obtain
4 bigger haul than, say, 100000.
And what did Mason want with E25.
2O0l He was gnarled man, witt
crude tastes. Twenty, fifteen, tel
thousand would be ample for hi
wants. The sooner be drank himself t.
death the better.
With each fresh cigar Mason's mole
~ shrank in dimensions. The murde
was a mere affair of vengeful blow
bat this steady sucking of the million
aires riches required finesse, a dashin
ldroitness, the superb impudence of
Cagliostro.
But If his confederate's interests SUI
fercd the total fixed in Grenier's orig
nal scheme in nowise became affected

short at two-thirds of the availabl
sum he would not give any ground
for suspicion or personal inquiry.
Yet he would shirk nothing. Mr.. Al
ingdon and Miss Atherley must b

face blithely. He took care to hav
ever on the table in his sitting room
goodly supply OF wines and spirits.

A HUsTLING COTTON TREE.

One Grew Feet In . MOnth-Another
 Is Feet In Three Months.
 For general hustle Tn getting up Tn the world the Caravonica cotton tree is a wonder, says Woodcraft. So at least one would suppose from the reports or its growth that arrive from what may fairly be assumed as authoritative sources of information
 Here is the United States Consul Gen eral, John P. Bray, sending from Mel bourne. Australia. facts plus photo graphs concerning the quick action cot- ton trees grown by Dr. David Thom- atis of Cairns in the Stute of Queens land. He also says:
 "A. Caravonica cotton tree grown by Archdeacon Campbell at the back or the rectory at Cairns in almost pure sea sand is twelve months old, ana from August. 1905, to December. lSoe. 1t yielded 12 pounds of bolla."
 An interesting letter has been receiv- ed by Dr. Thomatis from w. H. Ben his. Baracoa plantation. Cuba. stating that trees of Caravonica cotton grew from seed sent by Dr. Thomatis to the height of 1-2 feet. with rect or spread, in forty-four days. which means thirty-four days of i'-owth. as ten days are required for germination. The wri- ter also stated that the trees had more than sixty blossoms on and have cre- ated great interest in the island.
 This phenomenal and luxuriant growth in Cuba of the Caravonica cot ton is said also to be met with in Cey- lon, where 1t grew 15 feet In three months.

COTTON GINNING CENSUS.
Farmers Pleased With The Dates Fol
 Publlshfng NcpOPts.

Puhlishing Reports.
 Atlanta. Ga. August 3-Farmers and cotton men generally fAvor the recent decision of the census bureau to issue ten reports on cotton ginning statistics, If the comment of the press and of men connected with the cotton business Is an indication.
 It will be remembered that the bu- reau announced ten reports from Sept ember to March 20, these interme- diate dates being October 2, October 25, November 8, November 21, December g., December 20. January and January 23.
 What especially pleases the cotton men is that the reports will be issued at 10 o'clock in the morning instead of at o'clock in thef afternoon. as has heretofore been the ruie. In this way information, and the results can reach Europe within trading hours on the day they are published here.
 "The Southern Cotton Association Is delighted with this arrangement" said President Harvie Jordan. Tt is in line with what we have always urged. When we had only one report year. 1t re- suited in more or less demoraliza- tions of conditions. which was good neither for the grower nor for anyone connected with the cotton business.
 T believe that 1t would be entirely practicable to issue a ginning report every week, and this would be even better than ten reports. We would then have four reports a month. instead of less than two. Still. the move as 1t is Is a good one. It was a good idea is- suing the reports in the morning"

 There are many rights in the world ent President Finley proves this him self when he says: "Our appeal to the courts resulted In most serious dAn- broilment of the Southern Railway with in the interest of the company that such a condition of affairs should arise of continue, and rather than suffer through so serious difference 1t was better for the company to yield even that which was its clear right"
 It would have been better. however, for all concerned if these considera> tions. had been taken into account in the first place.
 Interests which clearly have a right to appeal to the Federal courts and which do appeal to them ought to be well informed as to all of the conse- quences. TO ihVohe the poWer oi the United States properly and then to be persuaded or intimidated into retreat is poor policy indeed. and the effect of such a course upon the ignorant is likely to be mischievous.
 This Is not a Government of senti- ment or of emotion or of whims or of prejudice. It is Government of law. Individuals. corporations.

Judge swnyne,. Successor,

Among the politically wise it is stat ed as fact that District Attorney Sheppard will be appointed to succeed Judge Swayne. The appointment will be made shortly after the President returns to Washington.
 The mention of w. C. Hodges of this place has created no comment of character favorable to the candidate. He is now at Hot Springs. having been a sufferer from rheumatism and 1t was impossible to get personal interview with MT. Hodges. It Is thought that he may be a candidate for the district attorneyship. The attorpeyship will not be decided until after the judge ship matter is settled.
 There Is probability that the ap- pointment will be made from out of the district There is little likelihood that Democrat will get the appoint ment but R. Pope Reese will be an applicant. MT. Reese resides at Pen- sacola and assisted in the prosecution of the peonage cases at that time. He is strongly endorsed and If Demo- crat lands he will probably be the chosen one.
 There are numerous Republicans of distinguished ability in the State. how ever, who would accept the position, and there is little reason to assume that a Democrat will be appointed when political organization can be made stronger by the appointment of Re- publican,
