STATE COTTON CROP
 WILL NOT BE LARGE
PICKING IS WELL UNDER WAY AND MISSISSIPPI WILL SELL THE COTTON IN HUNDRED-BALE LOTS.

Jackson. Miss, September H.-(Special) c. H. Heyland, superintendent of the states big convict farms, has just re- turned from a tour of inspection of the sunhower and Belmont places, aggregat- ing some 150O0 acres, most of which Is in cotton, and reports the crop as decid- edly poorer than last year, though much better than the crops on any of the pri- vate farms in that section of the delta. MT. Heyland says that picking has begun in real earnest, and that he now has 100 bales picked and ready to start to the gins on the Sunfower place. On the other hand, the superintendent states that the crop of both cotton and corn on the Rankin county farm, six miles east os Jackson, is fine. This is a hill place, and the wet weather of springs did not delay cultivation as in the delta section, nor has it suffered for want of rain dur ing the past two months as did the delta crops.
 Because of the depleted condition of the state treasury, the state of Mississippi will hardly be able to hold It's cotton crop for higher prices this year, but may be forced to put it on the market soon as ginned in hundred bale lots.
 The superintendent states that He IS being crowded for room, and will be forced to open another large body or land this fall. The number of convicts has In- creased by about 100 during the year, and If the same ratio of increase is main tained till next planting time there will be sufficient cultivable land to keep them employed.
 Rates to the Fair.
 Manager Mckay of the Mississippi Ex- position company states that he has ar ranged with the railroads for several OK cursions to be run into Jackson during the fair this fall, the rates secured be- ing low enough to tempt most everybody to come. He Is now trying to arrange a special day for the 800 girls of the l. l. and C. at Columbus, so as to have them here at least one day and night, and hopes to arrange for the citizens of Jack son to throw open the doors of thelf homes to care for them. Jackson Is mighty good at such entertaining, and tho chances are that the arrangement can be made, a great many housekeepers having already assured the fair manager of their willingness to help him out.
 Injunction Granted.
 The Gulf Compress company is up against a hard proposition. the chancery court having granted the injunction prayed for by District Attorney Thames Of Warren county, restraining them from doing business in Mississippi in violation of the antitrust law.

I love to hear the circus band.
Its music is SO gay
1t has a boundless repertoire,
And plays it twice a day.
From Wagners down to "Ooley-oo!
Its faculty extends,
And twice a day it plays right through
Till the performance ends.
Its ceaseless industry deserves

And him who beats drum
Year after year the players blow.
Their ranks are never thinned.
And every year my wonder grows
