A conservative estimate places 50, 00O,-

The present average yield an acre IS

increased TO twenty-five, ~equaling a

SUMMARY OF COTTON CROP.
Predicts Good
Production for the Year.

Memphis, Tenn, Aug. 22.-The
summary Of the cotton crop condition
appears in the Memphis Appeal today.
"UnfavoraDle reports come from
Texas and northern and central GeOr-
gia. Elsewhere, with local exceptions.
the crop is now in the best state
Of promise Of the season. The Au-
gust fruitage has been heavy and the
plant Is thrifty and growing. In Okla
hona with an average or late frost.
the largest crop within a number Of
years will be harvested.
N shedding is reported except in
the dry districts as above. The bolls
on the plant are still young and con-
tinued favorable Weather is needed
for their proper development, while
the general lateness of the plant in the
matter of growth makes a late frost
very desirable. With such a frost as
sured the general crop prospect would
be favorable.
photographic reports up to Sunday
night show that Texas had no general
rainfall during the week md that de-
te%rioration of the crop has been
checked over a limited and scattered
territory, composed mainly of the
lower Pan Handle, northern and ex-
IRENE western districts.
THE heavy movement in the South
and Southwest is the result of rapid
and premature opening Of bofls. Tho
crop is now nearly matured. While
boil weevils have destroyed cotton in
Louisiana and southern Mississippi,
elsewhere they have not been a Sc
rious setback to the crop"

The Rocky Mount Tobacco Market

(Reported by Tobacco Board Trade.)
Rocky Mount. y. c., Aug. 27.-Sales
of leaf tobacco have been rather small
this week, totalling a little less han
200, 900 pounds. Offerings, consisting
mostly of bottom leaves. of the strictly
printing type, with now ard then a
pile of good bright leaf and a few
wrappers. A small proportion of tips
have appeared within the last few
days, and are ripe n sweet as g.
rule. Such piles, and in fact all
grades. with good body and size are
selling high. The primings types are
lower in proportion. though higher
than they were last year, the average
for the week being more than % per
cent higher than the corresponding pc
riOd last year. Much of the tobacco
crop is still in the field, or in pro-
cess of curing, and we do not expect
very heavy receipts until the entire
crop has been harvested.

7 Telephone Instead OF The
Telegraph On The Illinois Central

Telephone circuits have re-
placed the old familiar telegraph
for the work of dispatching
trains on ninety-nine miles Of
the Illinois Central, between
Paducah and Central City. Ken
lucky. On more than 2,0C0
miles of this road the telephone
is now being used.
This is but one of the many i'm
portant railroads of the country
that have lately adopted new
standards of handling train or
ders. 1t is said that fewer de-
lays, less confusion and abso-
lutte safety of operation are
among the advantages that fol-
low the introduction of tele-
phone train dispatching.
In addition to twenty-one
regular telephone stations on
this stretch of track, sixteen
way station telephones have
been placed along the line in
booths or buildings located at
sidings or points where it is not
necessary to station regular
operators. Some of these sta
lions were previously used as
block telegraph offices.
Freight train conductors on
the Illinos Central are provided
with hand telephone sets, to.
gether with plugs and cords, for
use in connection with jacks
placed on the telephone sets ir
the way booths. This system
enables train crews to receive
telephone orders from the dis
patcher when they are being de-
layed, or when emergencies
arise making it necessary fol-
trains to go on sidings' The ap-
paratus used by this railroad
was manufactured and furnish.

DEATH CHAIR SOON TO BE
COMPLETED AT EDDYVILLE

The old time barbarous way of
inflicting the death penalty will
soon be thing of the past, as
the work of installing the death
chair at the Eddyville peniten-
tiary is going on steadily and
will be ready for use in a few
weeks. The electrocution law
went into effect on June 14th
and if a crime is committed af-
ter that time for which the
death penalty is imposed the
condemned man will be electro
cuted. There has been a nOta'
BILE change made in the prison
at Frankfort. The old peniten-
tary at that place will sson be
converted into a reformatory
and this is one of the principal
reasons the death chair was To-
Gated at Eddyville instead of
Frankfort as it is hardly proba-
BILE the death penalty will be in
flicted in a reformatory. The
Prison Commission will be
ready in a few months to begin
the transfer of the prisoners.
All prisoners over thirty years
of age will be taken to Eddyville
and all under thirty will go to
Frankfort. Also. under this
new law, all prisoners, no mat
ter what crime, that meet the
requirement as to conduct can
be paroled and quite a number
are now being granted.

And fathers true delight.
His prattle we shall hear no
more,
His toys we put away.
We want to meet him in the
skies,
Well miss till that day.
Sadly We'll come to his lonely
home,
And open the door Of the hall:
Sadly We'll wait with fleeting
breath,
To hear his footsteps fall.
Sadly we'll long to see his form,
The boy so bright and dear;
But the fagots crack and the>
clocks dull tick,
Are the only sounds we hear.
He's not taken from our memory
He's not taken from our love;
He's just gone to be with Jesus,
In his bright home above.
True there's darkness in the
background,
But Gods hand can move
away
All the clouds that bring us sor-
row,
And turn darkness into day.
A FRIEND.

THE MIDDLE PERIOD or
WESLEYANISM IN ENGLAND.

At the recent session of the
Louisville annual Conference of
the Methodist Episcopal church,
South held at Russellville, KY,
DR.. Arthur Mather, pastor of
the Methodist church of this
city, delivered the Annual Lect-
ure before the conference His
torical Society, his subject being
1.-The Middle Period of Wesley
anism in England. " So mani
tested was the interest of the
audience that the publication of
the lecture was requested, and
it is now appearing simuetane-
ously in two of the leading
church papers, viz:-the Central
Methodist Advocate of Lexing-
ton, KY, and the Christian Adj
vocate," of st. Louis, Mo-, the
latter enjoying the largest cir
culation of any religious organ
west of the Mississippi river.
The press comments speak
highly of DR.. Mather and some
of these will be of interest to
our readers. The Louisville
Evening Post" says DR.. Math-
err is one of the finest historians
of the day." The Courier Jour-
nal" says "Dr. Mather is one
of the most scholarly men in the
State" The breckenridge
News" says DIR. Mather is one
of the most scholarly men in
Kentucky. and Breckenridge
was highly honored in having
him as a representative on this
occasion"
In an editorial, DR.. Woods, OF
the St. Louis Christian Advocate
says:- "Dr. Mathsr certainly
gave a large proof of his high
quality as a student in the Lect-
ure on the history Of Wesleyan
Methodism which he delivered
before the Louisville Confer.
