spirit, the only thing which neither
fades nor loses value, nor sinks to
nothingness. Spirit is what gives
its Importance to the worldly atom.
Instead of being everything, that
atom is nothing, but it bears the
flame of spirit, and this flame burns
all over the universe, in each star,
in each being, in each blade Of

The law of the spirit holds the

whole of nature. Science shows us

The Axial Rotation of Venus.

For over two centuries it was gener- ally accepted that, like the earth, the planet Venus rotated on it's axis in q little less than twenty four hours, but since Scbiaparell after long and care ful observation of the planet suggest. ed that the actual rotation period was between six and nine months astron. cmers have devoted much attention to this matter. In the Observatory MT, Denning sums up the available evi- dence on the point and can only con- clude that this particular problem still defies solution. Life on Venus would be very different from life on the earth should the planets awal rotation be, as Schiaparelli asserted, identical with the period of it's revolution round the sun, as in that case the same hemi- sphere would always be turned fo the sun and enjoy perpetual day, while the opposite hemisphere would be doomed to eternal night

COTTON REPORTS
 BEST OF SEASON
Showers i'm Many Parts of Cotton Pro ducing Region Caused Marked Improvement in the Crop in
 Most Places.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug, 5.-While general and moderate to heavy rains did not fall during the week, many heavy or light showers did, and they were so widely scattered that much the larger part of the cotton. belt from Texas to North Carolina was visited.
 Those sections which received no rain complain of the drouth and are undoubtedly in need of moisture. In sections where the precipitations was light a number of moist cloudy days was thereby gotten from the rain. Reports of improvements are largely in excess of last week, some correspondents noting the best pro gress of the season. Reprots from ] Georgia indicate a large production and the Texas reports are the best of the season.
 The small plant is everywhere taking on fruit in an excellent man. ner, and in proportio to size prom ises to be large producer. Irregu- larity is still apparel through out the central cotton belt, some fields promising we'll, while others are not nearly so good The poor stands in the central belt will also per- haps be factor in the final outturn. But whatever the condition of the plant, marked improvement has taken place where showers fell. Ther is little complaint of dam age from boil weevil in the infested districts and elsewhere there are no damaging insects.

 saying that the devil must be fought with fire If I go into a trial my at
 torneys will be entirely competent to
 conduct the case.
 De E. Bradshaw, who is the only
 Pulaski county representative of Rho- ton here, said that something definite would be done in the Gross case to-
 morrow. At the last term of court Gross forfeited his bond and there will be argument as to why the bondsmen should not be compelled to pay the forfeiture to the state.
 If Gross goes to trial he will prob ably be tried on the indictment charg- ing him with soliciting bribe. This is the misdemeanor case Gross is also charged with perjury. The latter
 charge is an outgrowth of the former and it is not considered probable that Gross will urge that it be tired first. Mr. Bradshaw said he thought the
 misdemeanor case against Gross will
 be set down for a day later in the term. If the case goes by tomorrow it is currently believed it will be set
 for the Monday following. Judge E, w. Winfield will convene court in the morning at 10 o'clock. He will in- struct the Grand Jury, empanel the Petit Jury, and then take up the bus mess of setting cases for trial. F. O. Butt is not here, and it is believed his case, which is an alleged perjury will be continued for the term
