with the many attempts he has

he egregiously misconceives the sit

how bad he hits it off. His ply 81

They don't want either economic

Why Fifteen Cents is Conserva-
tive.

Fifteen cents per pound, basis
middling, Is fair and Just to the
grower because, first: the price Of
all staple commodities are higher
than ever known before even
where supplies Of the raw material
are abundant, as in the case Of coal,
iron and oil; second, because the
supply of raw cotton is limited and
the prices Of supplies and labor to
make the crop are higher than ever
before in the past; third, because
the price Of yarn and manufactured
goods is abnormally high and adj
vancing to higher levels every week /;
fourth, because the mills can pay
- cents for the raw product and
continue to prosper as they are now
doing fifth, because the trade con-
ditiOns Of the entire world were
never in a more healthy condition
and likely to remain so for an indef-
mite period; sixth, because the
production of gold is on the increase
and more economically mined
seventh, because the cotton growers
of the South are entitled to a good
profit ON the product of their labor
as is capital invested in any other
line Of business in the world. These
are reasons enough to clearly de
monstrate the arguments we are
making and insisting upon for a
staple price of at least fifteen cents
this season for the cotton crop
grown and to be marketed in the
season Of 1907-8.-Cotton Journal.

The Minimum Price and Market,
inc

President Walter Clark of the
Mississippi Division Of the Cotton
Association has written the follow
ing open letter to the interested
public, concerning the minimum
price proposition. and the more in
telligent methods Of marketing:
"Clarksdale, Miss, Aug. 80, 1907
Much has been said and written
of late about fixing a minimum
price, both for cotton and seed, and
storage for both Warehouses are
undoubtedly necessary at all CEN
tiers, but / desire to repeat here
what | have said at many points in
Mississippi Cotton picked before
frost, like wheat, oats, corn and
several other agricultural products,
is immature and unfit for market
before being properly cured. On
many farms there are now no cot
ton pens for storing the cotton as
picked, and the cotton pens are
growing scarcer each and every
year. | find the wagons are taken
to the fields every morning, and
when a bale is picked it goes to the
gin, and thus is on the market be-
fore it dries out.
This is penny wise and
pound foolish policy, as much of
the cotton is picked as soon as it is
open, and if carefully examined it
will be found that on nearly every
seed some Of the lint is full grown,
while on other parts Of the seed the
lint is much shorter. If this cotton

knows this, and yet in his mad
rush to get his cotton to market be-
fore it dries out, and the price
drops, he not only breaks the mar
ket, but damages the industry. 1t
has been my experience that moth
ing pays better than a good cotton
pen on the farm. AS to what this
crop will bring, the price now as
has nearly always been the case,

Escape of John Wilkes Booth.

In the last issue of the Reporter I

Mr.. Bates, who gives an account Of
the escape of John Wilkes Booth.

published a book of several hundred
pages, titled The Bloody Junto; or
The Escape of John Wilkes Booth. -
In that book | had an elaborate ac-
count of the steps which led up TO the
assassination of Mr.. Lincoln. There
was a secret society called The
Bloody Junto," which met at Mrs.
Surratt's house. A cabinet officer,
who effectually concealed his identi-
ty, was the ruling spirit of the socie-
ty 1t was well known that Booth
was perfect lady killer 4 young
lady, wealthy and accomplished, be-
came desperately infatuated with
Booth, and they were married pri-
vately the day before the assassina-
ton. She dressed in masculine APP
parel and shared Booths flight They
took shelter in CARROTS barn. His
wife was shot and with her dying
breath begged Booth to make his es-
cape. He did so, crawling under the
burning straw and through an open
ing at the back of the building. l
gave a full account of the trial of Mrs.
Surratt and the three male conspirit-
ors. Mr.. Bates says John Surratt sur
rendered at the burning barn. All the
world knows that John Surratt was
not there. He fed to Egypt and join
ed the army of the Khedive and was
there arrested and brought back to
the United States, tried and acquitted.

21,707 DIE OF SNAKE BITE.
Record OF Single Year in India
Wild Beasts Kill 2O54.

The number Of persons killed in
India in 1905 by wild beasts was
2O54, as against 2157 in the previous
year, and the number Of deaths re-
ported from snake bite (21,79O is
also little smaller than that of 1904.
A feature of the 1905 returns is
the increase in the number of deaths,
both OF human beings and cattle, at
tributed to leopards. 1t is suggested
by writer in Baily's Magazine that
these beasts seek their prey more
readily than they used to do in the
neighborhood of villages. The fact
that more licenses to possess firearms
were held in 1905 than in the pre-
vious year may be noticed, but it has
long been recognized that it is Inn
possible to discover any relation be-
tween the number of firearms in ma
tive hands and the number of deaths
from wild beasts.
During 1905 more dangerous wild
beasts were killed than in 1904. The
official figures are: Tigers, 1855;
leopards, 1911; bears, 2236; wolves,
2O16, and hyenas, 554. Well known
man-eating tigers were killed in sew.
eral districts. A regular crusade
against wolves has been carried on in
parts of the Central Provinces, where
these brutes are most numerous and
most troublesome.
To the success of the campaign no
doubt may be attributed the great
decrease in the number Of persons
killed by wolves-in 1904, 244; in
1905, only 1853. Before diminishing
this subject it is worth noting that
the Bengal Government in September
last offered a special reward of RS
200 for a man-eating tiger which
killed seven persons last year in Coil.
kera Forest, Singbhum district. The
ordinary reward for a tiger is Rs. 40.
