The EquinoctiaI Storm.

An equinoctial hurricane 400
miles in width swept the Alabama,
Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas
coasts Monday night, leaving death
and widespread destruction in its
wake The storm was fercest on
the Gulf and coast. continuing in
destructive force until it reached
far into the interior, when it
abated to a high gale. New Or
leans received the brunt Of the dis
turbance, while Jackson, Miss. and
other interior towns came in for a
good share. At New Orleans and
Jackson several people were killed,
while property at both places was
damaged to the amount of many
thousand dollars. The damage to
crops and timber is estimated TO
surpass that Of the storm several
years ago. Telegraph and telephone
wires are down, so that meagre
details as yet are in from interior
places.
Here at Aberdeen a high wind
ragged for more than twelve hours,
but doing no damage, other than
telling a huge oak on Commerce
Street, near Lakes Mill, and disar-
ranging telephone and electric
wires. Tuesday morning a light
rain fell, giving relief from the
dust devil" that has held sway
here for many weeks past.
The prospect that cotton viii
sell for Is cents the pound grows
brighter as the harvesting season
advances. The yield in almost
every section Of the cotton belt is
disappointing Of expectations in
dulged even two weeks ago 1t is
not out Of the probable that the
staple may command as high a
price as 30 cents. The world has
need of more cotton now than ever
before. with less on hand, or in
prospect, than in years. The wise
farmer will be in no haste to mar
ket his cotton this season, but will
ascertain the true relation between
the supply and the demand exist
ing before he sells. The cotton
growing section would be badly
crippled if forced to take an Ordi-
nary price for cotton this fall. In
many sections of the belt, less than
half an average crop has been
raised, and low price would mean
exceedingly hard times next year.
The farmer is now in the saddle
and may demand good price for
what cotton he has raised He
would be able to do this, if intelli-
gent concert of action on the part
of the commercial, banking and
agricultural interests could be en-
tered into and carried out. The
situation, after all, may not be SO
discouraging as many have sup
posed.

The high price of flour has
caused the farmers of the South to
seriously consider the planting of
wheat-not in sufficient acreage to
sell on the market, but to supply
the demands of Eome consumption
Elsewhere in the Southern terri
tory, as we'll as in Monroe county
and Mississippi, planters are get
ting together on this question, and
by promise, each to plant so many
acres of wheat, are getting the
establishment of -four mills to
prepare the grain for the table.
The Farmers Union has taken the
initiative in this step and will do
the agricultural people of the
South incalculable good by its
efforts. Time was when wheat was
grown profitably in this section for
home use and everybody is reioiced
to see our farming people getting
back TO their moorings. The grain
grown in a Mississippi field, ground
on Mississippi mill. and made
into biscuits by a Mississippi cook,
has the smell of the wheat on the
bread when it comes hot to the
table The writer has been there.

will get there again.

The pastors of the several
churches at Jackson have presented
a petition, requesting that no
wine. or other spirituous liquors,
be included in the menu of the
banquet to be given in honor of
President Taft's visit to the city.
Doubtless. the great majority of
the people of the State think as
the pastors do, and. in view of
Mississippi's being a prohibition
state, it would be consistent, to
say the least of it. An observa-
ton, however. that would be gem
orally INDUCED in would be that
the banquet would be a very dry
occasion.

Governor John A. Johnson Of
died at St. Paul. Sept
81. Gov. johnson was the son of
a blacksmith. his parents being
natives of Sweden. He was a. self
made man. having struggled
through poverty and hardships to
become the chief executive of his
state. He was greatly beloved as a
public man. Unusual regret is
being manifested at his untimely
death. The people Of Minnesota
realize they have lost a valuable
official, and vie with each other in
paying eloquent tribute to his
memory. joined in elsewhere by
many distinguished Americans.
Bishop Seth Ward Of the Meth

DR.. Cook says he has ample evi-
dence that he reached the North
Pole, and will submit proofs only
to competent critics. Mr.. Peary
disavows all honors until the con-
troversy touching his and DR..
Cook 3 claims have been settled.
The professions Of both gentlemen
have become tiresome to the pub

up. The world will accept the
discovery and award honor to
either, or both, as soon as they
make good their claims.
In spite of the equivocal features
Of both DR.. Cooks and Mr.. Peary'

them is receiving ovations Of
honors. The undertaking would
be meriting of that much. even if
no nnle had been discovered.

GRAND JURY REPORT.
To the Hon. ]. Fl Mitchell, Judge
of the Circuit Court o
Monroe County:

Monroe County:
We, the grand jury, empanneled
for the September term, 1909.
report that we have been i'm session
six days, have issued subpoenas for
1875 and have examined I43 wit
nesses, and have found 30 bills of
Indictment, 3 Of these bills being
for murder, the others for less
offenses.
We are glad to report that, in
our Judgment, crime is on the
decrease in our county. We have
had quite a number Of cases
reported where retailing was
charged, and in some instances we
have been able to secure evidence
that we think will lead to convic-
ton. We very much regret to re-
port that many witnesses, who we
have reason to believe have not the
proper appreciation of the great
wrong and sin they commit by
swearing falsely. The boot legging
cases are as a rule confined to the
negroes, but some white men of the
best families of our county have
been implicated in this very injur-
ious, demoralizing and dangerous
violation of the law. We are of the
same opinion in regard to boot
logging as one of our ex-iudges was
in regard to crap shooting, we
think it is a negro's exclusive priv
ilege, and a white man who will
infringe on the rights and privileges
of the negro should receive the
greatest punishment laid down in
our statutes.
We have examined the books of
the several county officials and find
them very neatly. and so far as
our limited time allowed us to
examine, very correctly kept.
We visited the Jail and found it
in a very neat and sanitary condi-
ton. The prisoners say they are
well fed and kindly treated.
We desire to thank the court for
the kind consideration. the District
Attorney for patient and valuable
and all the county
for very prompt and cour-
teous treatment.
And now having fully reported.
we ask to be finally discharged.
