Cabrillo in the sixteenth century, by
vizcaino a century later. and the Rus
SLAMS hunted the sea otter there in the
seventeenth century; but who placed
the progenitors OF the wild boars on the
island. how they came there. is not known.
That they are well established and have
developed peculiar traits is certain.
A party OF hunters in search OF other
and Indian relics landed there not long
ago and made camp on the beach. The

Cotton Crop Report.

Monday. the Times Democrat is
sued its second report Of conditions
prevailing throughout the cotton
producing Belt, having reference
to the growing crop. The New
Orleans daily finds that there
has been a distinct improvement in
q majority portion Of the Belt, and
while the crop is late. and there is
some reduction Of acreage, it is
believed an average crop may be
expected. The Times-D Democrat
thus summarizes the situation:
/. Taking the Belt as whole,
there has been distinct improve
ment since last report.
2. The crop is late. as a rule, but
has been industriously worked.
wherever the meteorological condi-
tions we're favorable.
3. There has been some addition
al reduction of acreage, through
enforced abandonment.
4 There are complaints Of boll-
weevil from sections OF Mississippi,
louisiana. Arkansas and Texas,
but it is too soon as yet to FORECAST
the ultimate damage.

ably meet the requirements Of the
county for a generation Or more Al
least. The Board fully realizes the
insuficiency Of the present room
and Accommodations at the court
house for the county's business,
and while the plans and speclfica-
.tions adopted are quite ample To
meet all probable demands. all due
regard has been taken for economy
and everything in the way Of extray-
agance or needless expenditure has
been avoided.
The plans adopted provide for
doubling the fire proof vault space
in the Sheriff's office and ia the
Chancery Clerks Office. It also
provides for doubling the Office
room Of both of these Offices. BY
an addition to the north side of The
present building and transferring
the Sheriff from his present quar-
ters to the north side of the build
ing across the hall from the old.
The Circuit Clerk 5 Office will re-
main as it is and the present Sher-
ifs Office will be converted into
grand jury room.
The second story of the addition
will be constructed for jury
sleeping room. a jury conference
room and library room to which
lawyers may retire for consulta-
tion. The two jury rooms now
in use will be retained as they
are. and the court room will be un-
changed, except that a balcony
with seats will be put in to separate
the negroes from the white people,
and the ventilation will be improv-

the County Superintendent office
will be furnished with all necessary
conveniences as private room ex-

system. It has been matheticaily
demonstrated that such a steam
heating system as would be requir-
ed to furnish the whole court house
and the jail with the necessary heat.
would pay for itself in IL years in
the amount of fuel saved alone,
besides being far more cleanly and
supplying a uniform temperature
in all parts of the rooms heated
and greatly reducing the risk from
fire and the cost of insurance. In
view of these important considera
tions it would be a mistake not to
install the heating system along
with the other improvements plan-
he'd. It is gratifying to note that
bids have been invited for both the.
contracts, to be filed on or before
the first Monday in August.
The Leader considers it a matter
for satisfaction and congratuIation
to the people Of the whole county
that the Board has taken up this
subject in such a business like and
intelligent manner and feels sure it
will have the thanks and hearty en-
dorsement Of our principal taxpay-

ciste the necessity of suitable
