I should not close the letter without reference to Arlington, the old home of Robt. E. Lee. Like Mount Vernon it too over, looks the Potomac, and from it's broad porch is a good view of Washington. The art of the landscape gardener has beauti- fled the surroundings, but above what the skill of man has done one recognizes the ma e sti c beauty of the site itself, with it's slopes and ravines and the hill sides crowned with the virgin forests.
 The old mansion is on much more elaborate scale than Mt. Vernon and every surrounding indicates the aristocrocy of the Old South
 1t is now known as The Ar lington National Cemetery" and over l6,000 soldiers sleep be- meath it's sacred sod.

The Home Of Washington.

A visit to Washington would be incomplete without seeing Mt. Vernon and Arlington. The Mansion House of Mt Vernon, the home of Washington, occu- pies a beautiful site on the bluff 100 feet high, overlooking the Potomac river 16 miles south of Washington.
 The house was built by Law renee Washington, a half brother of George Washington, in 1743 and is today in a good state of preservation.
 The house and tomb of Wash ington should have a new interest when we remember but that for the women of the United States they would today be in private hands and the sacred relics and mementoes which they have kept, gathered and restored would have been lost. The room in which Washington died is still preserved as it was left the day he died. The furniture remains just as it was, the bedstead is the one on which he died. The chair with bible on it from which Mir. Washington had been read ing, the mahogany table, large arm chair and other pieces are undiSturbed. Wrs. Washington died Tn room just over the one in which Washington died and it Is kept just as she left 1.-the furniture and hangings in her room being reproductions. Many articles of queensware and other house furnishings are in the var ious rooms including flute, card table, three swords, punch bowl, champagne glasses, his surveying outfit, powder horn, a. marble mantle presented Wash. ington by a gentleman of London, the old piano and many other articles.
 The servant rooms, the spin ming room with the old loom and spinning wheel and the old coach house with the coach in it are all carefully preserved, as is the brick barn built in 1753 with brick imported from England.
 The tomb of Washington is about 100 yards from the inan- sion, situated in a beautiful grove. 1t Is plain structure of brick with an arched gateway in front, above which a marble slab is in scribed Within this enclosure rests the remains of General George Washington. In the chamber of the tomb, to be seen through the iron gate, are two marble sarcophagi. One bears on its face the name Washington. with chiseled coat-of arms of the United States and d draped flag. The other is inscribed Martha, consort of Washington, died May 21, 1901, aged 71 years.
 The flower garden is very beautifully planned and hedged about with boxwood, said to have been planted by Mrs. Washing ton. Washington devoted much attention to the selection and planting of trees for the adorn ment of Mount Vernon. Many which he set out are still flourish ing and command admiration. The deer park under the hill, bounded on one side by the river in which Washington took great pride, has been restored and now contains a fine herd of deer.

 Mir. Ransome is representing a Chi. cago novelty concern and makes the Southern trip twice a year and his praise for the Plant Juice remedies was given conservativeiy and cheerfuliy with permission to use his name if Col onei Dillingham; wanted to.
 There are many people in this city that have had the same experience as he. for on. several occasions men who had stomach troubles have told Colonel Dillingham; that his Plant Juice has done them a world of good.
 The platform on the Square is at- tracting great crowds who watch with interest the manipulations of the dem- onstrators snd sometimes see some good results from the work.
 Colonel Dillingham; is, not claiming for his remedies that they are a cure all but that they constitute a tonic which reaches the seat, of disease con- stitutionally and thus upbuilds the sys- tenn and afford nature a chance to do her part
 It is this candid spirit of Colonel Dll- lingham which has inspired such con- fidence in his medicine and trial of them proves to be entirely satisfactory in the majority of cases.
 The medicine is sold at the platform on the Square and although many lo- cal people are trying them. yet there are great numbers of country people in Nsvidence who have been attracted eth CT by the methods used or by actual testimony which they have had.

Commercial Crop OF the Year

Up to January 16 there had been
ginned 12,167,S73 bales of cotton grown
last year. To these figures will be
added those of linters and of the city
crop, together with the ginnings in
August next. After January 16 there
were ginned last year 1,073,000 bales,
and in the previous year 1,033,000 bales.
OF the crop grown in 1903 but $50 900
bales were ginned after January Is.
Putting all things together, it is rea-
sonable to estimate the commercial
crop of the year at 100000 bales, and
it may go little beyond that aggre-
gate, but no one expects the record of
1904-05 to be broken. That record was
13,566,00O bales.
The ginnings in Alabama up to jan
uary 16 foot up 1,225,673 bales. When
linters and all other items are added,
the sum total may approximate 1,300,-
900 bales, as against 1,389,000 bales
last year, and 1,470,0O0 bales in the big
crop year of 1904. Alabama will not In
this commercial year break her record,
but she has turned out a great crop
Alabama has had 1928 ginneries in
operation, but on January 16 the census
bureau reports 220S of them closed.
While the crop is large, yet the
spinnaD-e part of 1t may not exceed the
worlds demands, and if the six millions
of additional spindles in Lancashire are
put in operation speedily there may not
be enough good cotton to go around
Inc rate of consumption is heavy, and
if picking be delayed or be light in
August there may not be much cotton
on the market when the cotton year is
ended
