Speculation has been rife for month or more on the probability of an ex- tra session of the legislature before the end of the year, and 1t has come to be next to a certainty that Governor Noel will call one for about November 1. When asked about the matter today, he said: About all remaining for me to settle now is the date for the call, but l will make public announcement within two days
 The object of this extra session is to secure an appropriation to pay the inter- est on the S60O000 worth of bonds sold last year with the understanding that the unaccrued interest was to be paid the first of January, but which was not paid T his refusal on the part of the state to pay about $10,500 interest has caused Mis- sissippi to once more be blacklsted in the money centers of the world, and Governor Ncel feels confident that if the state cesired to float another loan It would fine few if any bidders.

According to the records at the Gulf e Impress the cotton receipts at Jackson this season have been 5350 bales, against
 5000 to the same date last year, about 400S
 bales being on hand now. These figures
 show the condition of the crop in tho
 Jackson territory, and bear out the claim
 that the farmers will make only about 60
 per cent of what they made last year.
 Hinds county made 5000 bales last year,
 and cotton men here estimate on not
 over 1S000 bales this year. This is due al
 most entirely to the ravages of the
 boll weevil and other insect pests. Many
 small farmers who have been accustomed to making 10 or 15 bales of cotton declare they will do well to get three this year. | The Farmers union is doing all in it's power to encourage the farmers to hold for better prices, but renters have been unable to do that far, and rent cot ton is what is finding it's way to mar 1-et

 As editor of the Jacksonville Repub- lican, as soldier, statesman and bust ness man. he served his city in oth or notable ways, and his memory will be fittngly honored, but just what form these honors will take has not been definitely decided.
 Within the neighborhood of 5000 bales of cotton have already been marketed in this county, according to the best in formation obtainable, and it is said that the belief which existed early in the spring that the corn crop would be much larger than in recent years has not banned out in the returns, being little above normal. although there have ben greater yields to the acre age, it is said, on account of the ad- vanced methods adopted.

PAY HOMAGE TO THE DEVILS
Curious Ceremony in China Which Is
Looked Upon as Insurance
Against Evil Spirits.

Once every year, during the first
fifteen days of the seventh Chinese
month the curious ceremony of Yu-
Nan-Whei Is celebrated, being, in
fact, the paying of homage to the land
and sea devils. Seven priests carry
out the ceremony by offering up vari-
GUS forms of prayer and making an
unearthly noise by beating gongs.
Any one wishing to show his respect
to the devils can do SO by payment
of 500 cash-about 22 cents-to each
of the priests, for which amount they
will continue their performance for
twelve hours-a truly modest remun-
Grafton for gentlemen engaged in the
arduous occupation of propitiating
evil spirits. For an extra payment of
1000 cash number of small red pa
per boats, about six inches long. with
lights inside, will be sent floating
down the river with the current.
These lights are for the benefit OF the
sea devils, In order that they may be
able to see their way about on dark
nights-a little attention which it ia
to be hoped these maritime demons
appreciate. Having finished this per-
formance. the person on whose behalf
1t has been carried out goes away
happy In the conviction that he will
not lose any of his family throughout
tho year either by sickness or by
drowning, 30 that the whole ceremony
may be looked upon as an insurance
policy. At this time OF year many
thousands of the small lighted boats
may be seen floating down the
Yangstzekiang, presenting most un.
usual spectacle.-Wide World Maga

A night journey brought me to Thun

when l began to reproach myself to
him he stopped me to tell me that al

one of those kindly disposed persons

how much love had to do with her

judge of that without seeing more of
her. She said at once that she was

feel more free in her visits to him.
Carey was not well enough to leave
his room and, fearful that both / and
his fiancee would devote too much
time to him, urged us to take walks
and trips together. We would stroll
along the banks of the lake some
times to Oberhofen, sometimes farther.
and when we went too far to care to
walk back would return on one of the
pleasure boats constantly plying on
the lake. Then at Carey's suggestion
we took trips to Interlaken and thence
up into the mountains. These outings
were great relief to me from attend

stranger, shared in some measure his
secret emotions and thus was pre-
pared for the unexpected occurrence
of a few minutes later.
The final words had been said and
the friends present invited to look
their last on the calm face which to
many there had never worn so sweet
a smile in life. Some had hesitated,
but most had obeyed the summons,
among them Sweetwater. But he had

Suddenly there was a cry. and the
crowd about the door leading into the
main hall started back as wild steps
were heard IN the stairs and a young
man rushed into the room.

the lid which had just been fastened

him to comply with the request thus
harshly and peremptorily uttered. On
screwing the lid, he made way for the
intruder, who, drawing near. pushed
aside the roses which had fallen on
the upturned face. and. laying his
hand on the brow. muttered few low
words to himself. Then he withdrew
his hand, and. without glancing to
right or left. staggered back to the
door amid a hush as unbroken as that
which reigned behind him in that open
casket. Another moment and his
white. haggard face and disordered
figure would be blotted from sight by
the door jamb.
The minister recovered his polse and
the bearers their breath. The men
stirred In their seats and the women
began TO cast frightened looks at each
other and then at the children. some
of whom had begun to whimper. when
in an instant all were struck again
into stone. The young man had turn
ed and was facing them all. with his
hands held out in clinch which in
itself was horrible.
"lf they let the man co." he called
out In loud and threa tening tones. IL
will strange him with these two
hands"
The word and not the shrek which
burst irrepressibly from more than one
woman before him brought him to
himself. With a CHASTITY look on his
bloated features he scanned for one
moment the row of deeply shocked
faces before him. then tottered back
out of sight and fled toward the stair
case. All thought that an end had
come to the narrowing scene. and
minister and people faced each other
once more. when. loud and sharp from
above. there rang down the shrill cry
of delirium. this time in articulate
words which even the children could
understand.

the least of the children remained.
Soon these too. were gone. and the
casket was refastened and carried out
