Good Boost For Law and Order

While the Mail regrets the circumstances
which made the tragedy of last week ne
cessity we must say that the Pendargrast
brothers, Charles and Bert, and especially
the former, have not only been looking for
trouble here continually but that is their
record wherever they are known and it is
inevitable that they must find what they
have been looking for so strenuously sooner
or later. OF the man, Soldier, we know
very little. They resisted arrest and threat
ened the lives Of the officers should they
attempt to enter the building in which the
desperadoes had intrenched themselves
They and those with them were called up
on repeatedly to come out and surrender
and were given ample time to consider the
probable consequences of their resistance.
AS last resort the officers fired into the
building.
The death of Dave Traverse, alias Indi-
an Dick, was the unfortunate feature of the
affair as he was non-combatant, and is
deeply regretted. Chas. Pendargrast has
since died from his wound blood poisoning
having set in. He got what was coming to
him and no sympathy is wasted in his behalf.
There are, however, also those who are
innocent who must suffer with the guilty
and the Mail has sincere sympathy for the
bereaved family
The time has come in the development
of Marmarth when lawlessness must become
thing of the past and dcsperadocs must
either hit the pike or become peaceable,
law abiding citizens and the officers are en-
titled to the commentator OF the commur-
ity for their firm stand for law and order.

Cyclone IN ST. KIrrs-NEvIS.

Mr.. f. R. Shepherd. Agricultural Super
intehdeht Of St. Kitts-Nevis, has forwarded
a report to the Imperial Commi sioner of
agriculture on the damage done by the
cyclone which passed over st. kits. Nevis
during the nght Of Saturday, March 7, aud
the early hours Of the following morning.
The weather had been unsettled in st.
kits since Friday, and throughout Satur-
day the wind blew in strong puffs from the
west.
On Saturday night the wind blew violent
ly from the northwest with u falling bqro-
meter. BY midnight the wind was at its
height, and in Basseterre the barometer
feading fell to 29.3. Rain fell heavily, over
4 inches being registered in Bn-seterre, and
over 8 inches at Molinoux in the northern
part OF the island. About 3 inches of rain
fell in Nevis.
The d stnrbance passed quickly, however,
and By 10 q. IN. on sunday, the weather had
cleared, the wind changing to east.
As the result of thu storm, Il large number
Of trees were blown down III st. kits.
The cane crop, being very advanced, sus-
tanned considerable damage, being leveIlod
with the ground III SOME cases. Apart from
the loss due to broken canes, the quality Of
the juice will be lowered us the result of the
heavy rains. The cotton crop has Been oil
reaped and ginned, 50 consequently no dam
age was experienced.
AZ the Botanic Station a few oednr trees
were blown down and some others damaged:

COTTON INDUSTRY IN THE VIRGIN
ISLANDS:

Since 1904, when the total value Of tile
lint and seed shipped from the Virgin
Islands was no more than G35, the cotton
industry has Undergone steady expansion,
and the estimated exports of lint and seed
Tor 1907 are valued ut 94O0, this being nh
increase of 9135 over the shipments Of 1906.
1t is gratifying to note that a good proper
ton Of this cGttCn is grown in Virgin GorIa
and Anegada, whers the soil II unsuitable to
most crops. Marie Galante cotton is Guilt
vated as we'll as the Sea Island, but it is
recognised that the latter is by for the more
profitable variety.

WEST INDIAN SEA ISLAND COTTON.

In the pamphlet lately issued by tho U.
s.. Department of Agriculture, Sea Island
Cotton It's Culture, Improvement and Dis
eases, the following note occurs On the de-
velopement OF the West Indian Sea Island
Cotton industry
Sea Island cotton produced in the West
Indie, is equal to the Averages American
product, aud indeed completes with the
Carolina Sea Island cotton rather than with
She interior product. The West Indian III
dustry is new, having been developed main
" since 1902, and is yet of small proportions;
Only about 1900 bales per annum are at
present produced but the industry there
may grow rapidly. 1t has "lie"dy led the
South Carolina planters to organize in refus-
Ing to sell seeds.
the Sea Island grower will therefore re-
cognize that the prices OF his crop depend
Oh several factors, and that quality is more
important than Quantity. Org"niaed efforts
should be made to raise the standard OF.
leagth and preparation; in order to avoid
e competition with cheaper cotton. OF the
better grades o larger quantity can be sold
than is now produced. agricultural Neos,
