HOW TO MARKET COTTON.

The Department of Agriculture
marks down the condition of the cot
ton crop on August 25 to 63.77, or
just about 10 points below the aver
age of the last ten years. The crop
in Texas and Oklahoma is rated low,
and in Alabama and Mississippi it is
not much better. Current estimates
of the growing crop swing around
II, 600, 600 bales, while the worlds
consumption is readily 100000
bales.
Whether the governments figures
are true or untrue need not greatly
concern the South, provided it gets
ready to market the crop advantage
ously. The crop should not be hur-
ried to market. especially if the crop
should prove to be but 11,0O0, 600
bales
The Farmers Unions are consider
ing this great question-how best to
market the new crop. There is no
problem before the Southern people
SO important as this. 1t is large
problem, but baled product that is
not subject to decay certainly can be
handled advantageously II peaches
and California fruits can be. The
Farmers Unions have the problem
well in hand, and the hope is that
they will yet work out satisfactory
solution of 1t.

HARDLY PROBABLE.

ii is scarcely probable that the Gu
ban government has authorized an
argentine firm to raise the Maine, a |
battleship belonging to this country
without consulting the authorities at
The Maine was sudden
ly sunk in Havana harbor IN the
month of February, 1898. No one
knows lust what was the nature of
the explosion that sent the vessel to
the bottom of the harbor, but all know
that it's sinking brought on war
with Spain in which that country lost
her colonies.
This country has never been anx-
ious to raise the Maine, although
contract was once given to an Ameri-
can concern to do the work. Some
work was done on the wreck. but the
effort to raise the vessel was soon
abandoned.
This government will certainly have
a finger in the pie when the Maine is
raised. The vessel belongs to this
country, although Cuba no doubt
would act reasonably if it desired its
removal from the harbor. No action
will be taken by Cuba in relation to
the vessel until the authorities at
Washington have been consulted.
The raising of the Maine would pre-
sumably determine whether an exte-
rior or interior explosion sank Cap
tain Sigsbee's ship, and then possibly
the guilty parties might be singled
out. There is an impression tha
some young officers connected Will
General Weyler's command did it, bu
no definite proof has been forthcom
ing or has been possible. The wrecl
should be raised and the truth ascer
tanned.

It was learned yesterday that ne

and the State Board of Education with
reference to the sale of Mattamuskeet
Lake had been called off. Seip had
an agreement with the board whereby
no offer for the lake, unless from
Seip himself, would be received dur
ing the month of August, but Seip
did not make an offer and finally de-
clined to give 100000 for the proper

upon this price, although some want

There is no certainty as to what
will be done with the lake or when.
There are said to be several prospec-

them in other states. Mr.. John A.

the board 100000 for the $4,000 acres

And. of course, indigestion If neg
lected long enough, brings on seri-
GUS diseases in which Kodol cannot
benefit you. Some of these there
is no help for at all.
There are. Ia fact. very few all
ments which cannot be traced di-
rectly to impure blood. And i'm
pure blood is always due to a dis
ordered stomach.
Use Kodol and prevent Nervous
Dyspepsia.
Kodol will effectually assist Ma
ture to secure a complete restora-
ton of good digestion. It does
this by at once digesting all food
in the stomach and keeping 1t di-
gested, until the stomach is rested
and can resume it's own work. Ko-
dol removes the cause-and the
effect quickly removes itself.
When it is recalled that Apo
plexy. Heart Disease, Cancer-and
even Consumption-are due to
poor digestion and pofsons thus
transmitted to the blood, ano
throughout the systematic impor
tnce of maint aiming good diges
tkon is at once realized

WELLuAy,s SECOND FAILURE.

Unsuccessful as was the latest attempt 10
reach the North Pole in an airship. it never
theless presents encouraging features Inc
America made q longer flight this time than II
did two years ago. 1t demonstrated It's ability
to manguvre with ease, so handsomely did 1t
answer its helm, and when a return to the start
ing DoInt WAS made necessary by the loss Of
guide rope it gave evidence OF the power Of Its
engines by bucking vigorously against a strong
southwesterly breeze Not life was lost, not
man was injured and all the instruments and
records of the expedition were saved. Indeed
its leader afterward asserted that the transfer
of his crew and apparatus to ship was need
less piece of caution.
Mr. Wellman will undoubtedly profit by this
years experience in more ways than one. 1t is
not unlikely that he had at his base on Danes
Island an extra drag rope. To replace the half
ton of provisions and stores which he was car
rying at the end of the rope he lost might not
have been an easy matter. Perhaps in the
future if he should in the same manner run the
risk Of being robbed of part of his food supply,
he may adopt measures for recovering IT, BY
attaching a large buoy to the guide rope he
would probably be able to find both the rope
and its burden, and If his provisions should
have a waterproof covering they would be unin-
jured by a sea bath. Mr.. Wellman will improve
the chance now afforded to give greater buoy
ancy 10 his airship by enlarging it. He will
then find it necessary to construct bigger shed
In which 20 house the America. The need Of
these and other improvements suggested by re-
Gently discovered deficiencies In equipment and
plan renders it probable that Mr.. Wellman will
gain more than he will lose by pOstponement of
his expedition for another year.
The method adopted by Mr.. Wellman is one
Of great promise. 1t is infinitely superior to
poor Andrees which relied entirely on a favor
able wind and not on ample motive power. Its
novelty imposes on the man who follows it the
duty of keeping alert TO contingencies which
have not arisen in other polar expeditions and
of making the most elaborate provision for meet
ing them. Failures are often full Of instruction
and happy is he who can draw from them their
proper lessons. 1t would not be surprising IT,
after all, Mr.. Wellman should realize his ambi-
ton before Commander Peary does. He has
much reason for perseverance.
