UNEARTH BLACKHAND GANG
Federal inspectors Claim They Have
Big Band.

Cincinnati.-In several arrests made
in Columbus, Marion and Dennison,
Ohio, local Federal inspectors and de-
t~ectives who worked in conjunction with
them in the case believe they have un-
aarthed the biggest and best organized
branch of the black hand in this coun-
try, Marion, O., being probably the head
of the organization. Chief Postofice In
spector Charles Holmes of this city, who
is in charge of the work which has re-
suited in the arrests made so far, is au-
thority for the statement that evidence
has been secured showing that the gang
operating from Marion and with lines
reaching into a number of big cities of
the country, nave f1eeced different per-
sons in this and other States out of
thousands of dollars in the last few
months by the application of black hand
methods.

TAFT TO BE ARBITRATOR
Between Senate and House-Situa-
ton Is Simplified.

Observation-Disclosures Taft and Sen
ator Aldrich were in conference an hour
and a half at the executive offices Tues
day afternoon.
The tariff is understood to have been
the topic under discussion. No state
ment was given out with regard to the
conference. Specifically it was said at
the White House that there was nothing
to be said about the announcement that
the president will be called upon to act
as arbitrator between the Senate and
House conferees on the tariff bill.
This announcement has greatly simpli-
fed the situation. 1t is generally sup
posed that this arrangement will put the
president in a position largely to get
from the conference the kind of bill
which he believes will meet the platform
of his party.

SOUTWS COTTON CROP
WI RAISE SO PER CENT. OF
WORLDS PRODUCTION.
Supply for Mill Consumption Is 49,.
574 1000 Bales-Texas Leads
All States.

MISUNDERSTANDING to a recent
report of the Census Bureau, the United
States produced in 1908 two-thirds of
the worlds factory supply of cotton. The
worlds production of cotton for mill
consumption in 1908 is estimated at 49,
$4,000 bales of 500 pounds net, COM
pared with l~6,512,000 in 1907. The pro-
duction in the United States, using the
figures of the Census Bureau, expressed
in net weight bales, was 1902, 600, and
represents 66 per cent. of the total COM
mercial cotton produced. British India,
which ranks second, produced ~2,9l4,OOO
bales, or Is per cent. Most of the re-
mainder is produced in China and Brazil,
while smaller quantities are contributed
by Mexico, Peru, Turkey, Persia and sew
eral other countries.
Of the total production in the United
States in 1908, 6,232,l2S bales, or 49.5
per cent. came from the territory west
of the Mississippi river, while the States
east of the Mississippi contributed l.
355, l7S bales, or 54.l per cent.
The 1908 cotton crop for the United
States represents an increase over 1907
of 2,2l1,S45 bales, or 1914 per cent. 1t
is the third largest crop ever produced,
being exceeded only by the crops of 1904
and 1906, and is 97S,751 bales larger
than the average crop of the last five
years. '
In the State of Texas, the second larg-
est crop is reported, the figures for 1908
being 3,9l3,094 bales, which is exceeded
only by that of 1906, which was 36S, 740
bales larger. In Texas there was a re-
markable falling off in the cotton pro-
duction for 1907, the percentage being
44.9 per cent, as compared with 1906.
But this State increased its crop in
1908 by 65.S per cent. over 1907. Texas
alone produced 2s.S per cent. of the total
for the country for the period covered in
1906.

John Sharp Not a Farmer.

United States Senator-elect John
Sharp Williams denies that he intends to
become a gentleman farmer. ut is
true that | am going to live on a farm.
but l have no intention of becoming a
farmer. l don't know anything about
farming, and l am too old to learn how
to make two blades of grass grow
where only one grew before. My son is
going to look after the farming opera
tions. He has completed a course in
modern farming at the Texas Agricul-
tural Experiment Station, and 1 am go
ing to give him a free hand and see
what he can do. Of course, l will 90 out
occasionally and mingle with the ducks,
the geese, the chickens, and other APP
~purtenances of the place, but it is not
aim to become one of your make
believe horny handed SON of toll, for l
have no equipment for that kind of
work."

dwelling of Lee Monument.

On June II, the day following the
close of the United Confederate Veter-
ans reunion at Memphis, many of the
old soldiers and other notables will as
semble at Vicksburg to attend the I'M
yelling of a statue of the late Gen.
Stephen d. Lee, who was commander-in-
chief of the Confederate organization
at the time of his death. 1t was in the
siege of Vicksburg that Gen. Lee won
his spurs as a dashing and intrepid com
mander, and the last years of his life
we're devoted to the perfection of the
great national military park here. Gen.
Lee died at Vicksbcrg May 2S, 1908, and
it is peculiarly fitting that the South's
memorial statue to him should be
erected on the spot which he loved SO
well.

Crops Damaged 40 Per Cent.

A local representative of a large cor

outlook, especially in the Jackson terri
tory, sent out to fifty of its representa-

requests for impartial, and, as nearly
as possible, accurate, reports on the sit
uation and estimates on the prospects,
and every one of the fifty, all of whom
are substantial business men, depend
largely upon the cotton crop for their
business, made prompt replies, prior to
the really hard and discouraging rains
of Tuesday. After receiving the replies
and summing up carefully, the local rep

Stirling Saws State Won.

According to Attorney General ]. B.
Strings Interpretation of the case, the
dismissal of the proceedings against A.
P. Simms Express & Telegraph Company
in the Chancery Court of Adams county
means that the State loses nothing save
the liquor confiscated, valued at about
$500, and as the State could not do
anything with the liquor except destroy
it, the commonwealth in reality won a
victory on all points.

Wettest Nav in 81 Years.

According to the meteorological sum-
mary for the month of May, issued by
Section Director Belden at Vicksburg,
May, 1909, goes on record as the wettest
since 1872, in which year the registered
rainfall was 1928 inches. The record
for May, 1909, was 11.s2 inches, COM
pared with the average for thirty-eight
years of 4.7O inches, an excess of 7.12
inches. The nearest approaching this
record since 1872 was in May, 1884, when
the registered fall was 11.76, and the
dryest May was that of 1892, with only
40 of an inch.

The N. O. G. N. Road.

While nothing definite has been given
out at this end of the line by the off
Gals of the New Orleans Great North
ern Railroad, recently relative to the
date of opening up the long expected
communication into this city, it is be-
lieved by those on the outside, who have
been over the upper part of the line,
north of Georgetown, that it may be
later than July 1, the date announced
a few weeks ago. This opinion is based
on the present physical condition of the
line following the overflow of the Pearl
river, which has washed away whole
sections of the entertainments, and aP
pears to nave weakened the t~restles.

DRINKING ON INCREASE.
Children Are Real Victims of the Rum
Habit.

Atlantic City, N. J.-Prefacing his
address with the assertion that "chil-
dren of men and women who use alcohol
are the real victims of the rum habit"
DR.. L. Alexander MacNicholl of New
York, in a speech before the Society for
the Study of Alcoholics, caused a greater
sensation at the meeting of the American
Medical Association by saying that con-
ditions in the New York public schools
rival those of ancient Sodom, and that
degeneracy, mental deficiency and other
drawbacks to the proper education of
youth AVE increased at a pace that
threatens the future of the republic"
DIR. MacNicholl blames much of the ruin
on the alcoholic habit and disorders in
herited from parents.

Suit Compromised.

The suit against the Simms Express
and Telegraph Company and A. H.
Simms, filed by the state to Gust the
company from doing business in Missis-
sippi on account of its failure to file its
charter with the state, has been compro-
missed. The express company was re-
fused a charter by the state, and OBJ
tanned one from Louisiana. It was
charged that the company was evading
the prohibition laws of Mississippi, and
a $4,000 stock of whisky stored by
Simms in Natchez was seized. Under
the compromise Simms pays a fine of
81, 900, court costs of $264.50, and obi
gates himself to refrain from promot-
ing the express business in this state.
The liquor was released.
