Professor AsWeU, of Louisiana, re-
Gently elected Chancellor of the Mis-
sissippi University, resigned that po-
sition last week as result of impOrtu-
mites of his Louisiana friends and CO.
workers to remain with them. and
the resignation was accepted by the
board of trustees in session last Sat
urday The board raised the salary
of Chancellor from 50, 500 to $1,000
per year and a residence, and some
what enlarged the powers of the
Chancellor in regard to conducting
the institution. As the salary is now
the highest of any paid in the State,
il is probable that not much difficulty
will be experienced by the board of
trustees in finding a competent and
available man for the position. Such
able men as Chief Justice A. H.
Whitfield of the supreme court, and
Hon. Edward Maves, both of whom
have been members of the faculty in
former days, while others, more or
less prominent in the States educa-
tional interests, are being scrutinized.
There is no need for hurry in this
matter. and the board should take as
much time for due consideration as
circumstance may suggest.

Theodore Price is still sounding the
alarm about a possible short cotton
crop this year, and talking of twelve
or thirteen cents, and even higher,
unless more favorable conditions are
forthwith presented The southern
people have long suspicioned Mr..
Price as being their arch enemy in
everything that pertains to cotton,
but when he leans over and whispers
song about thirteen cents a pound,
the Southern cotton farmers will lend
an attentive ear even though the
voice is recognized a that Of the

Mr.. Charles H. Blum, of Bolivar
county, issues a circular letter to his
Hebrew fellow-citizens urging their
support of Hon. E. n. Thomas for
Governor. Mr.. Blum is more generally
known throughout the State as hav-
ing been Master of the Masonic fra
ternity in the recent past than he could
have otherwise been, and while the
request in this letter is not based upon
fraternal grounds, it was doubtless in
tended to exert an influence in that
quarter, especially as Mr.. Thomas
himself is a past grand master of
Masons. Fraternal appeals of this
kind as far as we know have not been
made by any of the the other candi-
dates, and in this case will have no
effect whatever on the final result.
Masons as a rule are the last of ali to
be controlled by such methods in
politics.

If cotton were not the hardest
plant we have and the most deceiv-
ing as to its final harvest, we would
have ample grounds for predicting a
short crop this year, in this part Of
the world at least. The late frost
killed much of it that had attained
an early start. and the continued
rains since that time have rendered
it difficult and in some cases impos-
sible to replant, to say nothing of
scarcity of seed in some quarters.
These circumstances Will serve to
reduce the contemplated acreage
somewhat, but it is the vicissitudes
during the fruiting period that de
crease the Weld.

scientist that the consignment must
be classed as animal bones, and as
dutiable at SO much per pound.
