REMARKABLY ACHIEVEMENT
OF BATTLESHIP
Capt. Fremont Sends Terse Tele-
gram to Navy Department
at Washington.

Natchez, Miss.-The great history
making trip was completed this after
non. At exactly 2:45 o'clock Capt. Ere
mont brought his vessel, the battleship
Mississippi, safely to an anchorage close
to the Louisiana shore, and so was the
navigability of the splendid river for big
ships proven and all ISLANDERS brought to
the board
A few minutes after the Mississippi
rested to her anchors in fifty-seven feet
of water, Capt. Fremont sent the fol-
lowing telegram to the navy department
at Washington:
"Natchez, Miss. Fremont"
The captain told his story in those
three words, and the message was suf-
ficient for the department to know that
its capable officer had filled the COM
mission given him, and demonstrated to
the country the usefulness OF the great
est river in the world.
The Mississippi covered the one hun-
dred and seven miles from Bayou Sara
in record breaking time. She got under
way at half-past five in the morning,
and came to her anchorage in exactly
nine hours and u quarter.

COTTON CROP is 97,4.
CONDITIONS BEST IN EASTERN
PARTS OF THE BELT.
Crop Is to 30 Days Late in Texas.
Acreage Planted in Corn to
10 Per Cent. Increased.

Memphis, Tenn.-Reports from corre-
spondents of the Commercial Appeal
throughout the South set out the fol-
lowing facts concerning the cotton crop;
That the acreage is ga per cent. of
that of last year.
That outside of Texas where the crop
is Is to 20 days earlier, there is less
than weeks loss in the advancement
on this date as compared with last year.
That crop conditions are best in the
eastern parts of the belt and worse in
the west, where dry weather has made
the cotton small and planting late.
That prior to May l, the spring was
a dry and cold one. Since May l rains
have been abundant except in Texas,
but withal temperatures have been low
and the cotton plant has grown very
slowly. In the immediate Mississippi
valley considerable replanting was neces-
sary, but has been completed.
That the land was prepared in an I'M
usually thorough manner, and is now
in excellent condition.
That very little cultivation has been
done.
That the rains of May II and Is af-
forded material relief in all sections of
Texas save the western cotton produc-
ing area.
That the acreage planted to corn or
other grain is quite generally to 10
per cent. greater than that of lasteyear,
and that in boil weevil sections of
Louisiana and Mississippi there has been
a considerable reduction in the amount
of land under cultivation and marked
increase in the paintings of other crops
than cotton.
The acreage and days early or late
as compared with last year, in the sew
eral States, is shown:
North Carolina, acreage 100, five days
early.
South Carolina, acreage 90, as early
as last year.
Georgia, acreage 9S, as early as last

Memphis, Tenn.-With hundreds of
delegates from all over the cotton grow.
ing section of the South, from the East
the North and the West, the thirteenth
annual convention of the Interstate Cot
ton Seed Crushers' Association was called
to order in Memphis Tuesday. Barring
the usual delay, the splendid program
prepared many days in advance of the
opening of the meeting was carried off
without a hitch, and reflects great credit
upon the committee which had it in
charge. At least 700 delegates were in
attendance when c. d. Jordan, chairman
of the local committee of arrangements,
raped for order at 10:45 o'clock.
The delegates were given right royal
welcome to the grand old Volunteer
State, Tennessee, by Gov. NJ. r. Patter-
son, and to Memphis, the Bluff City, by
Mayor James II. Malone. The freedom
of the State and the city is theirs. They
have been assured of the unbounded
hospitality of Tennesseans and Mem
phians, if such an assurance was neces-
sary, and, indeed it was not, for only
six years ago the cotton seed crushers
tasted of this hospitality, and this is
why they returned to Memphis this year.

TWO MORE DREADNAUGHTS
Secretary Meyer Announces Naval
Program.

Washington.-The building program
of the United States navy for the fiscal
year 1911 will call for two battleships
of the most advanced dreadnaught type,
also five torpedo boat destroyers and
one, modern repair ship for the fleet,
Notwithstanding the $10,o0o,0o0 de-
crease which is to be made in the naval
estimates by order of President Taft.
Secretary Meyer, in announcing his
program, said the battleship appropria-
ton would not be affected by the re-
duced estimates. The reduction will
come from the appropriation for the
different bureaus, and from the navy
yards, but he had made these reductions
in such way as to not affect the eff
cheney of the yards or the fleet.

Paducah, Ky.-IIundreds of farmers in

every farmer to have a package of the

for the position in his community, with
out regard to his political faith.
He made this announcement IN the

rating the Mecklenburg declaration OF
independence, signed in 1775, ana DEM
onstration lasting more than two MIN
utes greeted it.
II don't believe that we are on the
point of political revolution in the
South. said the president. 81 never
have had such a dream. What l do de-
sire. and believe we are on the eve OF, is
a complete tolerance of opinion, and that

New Bedford is again restored to

of whaling ship that was fitted out
in that port and has returned with a
record. The ship has brought back
to New Bedford more than 1000 bar
rels of whale oil of value of more
than $4,000. This means probably
that Capt. Hagerty's crew captured 40
or SO "leviathans of the Deep" which
