WEATHER AND fHE cROPS,

from Mondays Picayune.
Following close upon the storm
Of the preceding weeks has been
d spell of unprecedentedly cold
Weather for the closing days of
May. In the more northerly por-
tfons of the Cotton Belt the Their
mometer dropped to a point which
Indicated frost, and in some places
killing frost. In Texas and parts
of Arkansas the cold was sufficient
to damage vegetation. Such wealth
er conditions have undoubtedly
done harm, but as it is still early
that portion of the cotton crop
which has been damaged may be
replanted. In the central and
more southerly portions of the
Cotton Belt it may be doubted if
much damage has been done by
frost, although the crop has I'M
doubtedly suffered from excessive
rains and storms.
Whether such damage as has
been wrought by the recent wealth.
er will exert a permanent influ-
ence on the cotton crop or only
have temporary effect will depend
largely OH the character of the
weather from now on. Should the
recent bad weather be followed
by settled conditions. particular
ly warm weather and plenty of
sunshine, the injury done will be
soon repaired, but should rains
now develop, as sometimes hap
pens in May, the crop might be
permanently injured and some of
the acreage planted be abandoned !,
rs has happened frequently in past
years.
The crop has not been fully
planted as yet, and a good portion
of the more northerly portions of
the belt has planted nothing as
yet. This fact makes, it certain
that the cold spell has not doHe'
as much harm as the cold wealth.
er of last year did. as pfofiting by
the experience of that season farm
ers in the more northerly districts
have been in no hurry to seed their
lands. 1t is, therefore, not posi-
BILE for the authorities to venture
predictions as to acreage. There
FRS general belief, however, that
there will be o slight decrease
|compared with last year in the
Atlantic section. little change in
the central belt and some increase
IN the Western division.
The grain crops; particularly
corn, have experieAced much the
same conditions as cotton, and
have probably suffered some dam
age, although the loss SO far has
in all likelihood been moderate.
The desire to grow a good corn
crop this year is general, owing
to the high price of grain and the
comparatively light yield secured
in the South last season.

HAS FORMULATED CLUB CREED.
Favorable Impression Made by Mrs.
Robert Burdette's Words.

Mrs. Robert Burdette, vice-president
of the General Federation OF Women's
Clubs, has formulated a club creed
that has made so favorable an impress
sion that 1t is likely to be adopted by
many clubs in this country and
abroad. About the most vital par
of this creed reads:
Il believe in afternoon club life for
women. / believe in evening club life
for men and women together, when it
does not rob the home of father and
mother
Il believe that woman has no right
to undertake any work whatsoever
outside of the home, along the lines
of philanthropy, church, temperance
or club life that does not emanate
from the home, and its final and best
results return to the home. Home
must always be the center, but not
the limit of woman's life.
81 believe in equal rights in the fam
lily for father and mother in intelli-
gence, affection and filial respect.
These the club should foster
81 believe, out of consideration for
others, in removing the hat in all pub
lie assemblies.

A Writer of Insurance.

The greatest life insurance peddler
we ever had was Archie Haines of the
Equitable. Haines, as general agent,
made the fortunes Of thousands of
men in all parts Of the country, and
was himself in receipt of an income
OF 100000 a year. The other day
he was declared bankrupt. He did
not care for run-downs or has-beens:
he selected reduced gentlemen" by
which / mean men who had been
prominent in social life, but had lost
everything save honor" He would
pick up a relic, or a derelict, with
oodles of acquaintances, but no money,
and offer enormous commissions, re-
bates, etc, for 100000 policies. One
of these curiosities of the past who
had got down to his last dollar and
was virtually beggar, was taken up
by Haines at the age of TO- and in
three days had sold as many policies
of 100000 each His commissions
amounted to $15,O0O.-New York

Halletsville, Texas: July A.
There was no celebration OF any
kind here today. The National
bank and postoffice closed and
were decorated with flags as were
also some Of the business houses.
An effort was made to get an ex-
cursion train to Yoakum, but
cars could not be furnished.
Many people from here went to
Yorkum or Sinner to the barbe
cues and public speaking, and
this place during the day had a
deserted appearance.
After a session of twenty-five
days, sitting as a Board of Equal
ization, the commissioners court
has adjourned to meet again July
10, when those, $50 in number,
cited to appear and show cause
why their assessments should
not be raised, will be given a
hearing Lands on the prairie
We're assessed as high as $55 per
acre. tits estimated that the
assessed values for this year will
exceed those Of last year by more
than 100000.

Hughes left nothing undone to
add to the pleasant time of each

All members and guests hav-
ing arrived, they were escorted
into the music room, where all
were entertained with several
choice selections on the piano,
much to the enjoyment Of all in
attendance.
Then came time Of much
merriment and laughter, as the
hostess introduced a Telegram
contest, the word Declaration
having been produced and told
by the hostess TO arrange each
