COTTON IS BADLY

Belief of Those Who Study
Weather Map.

Ihe following is the opinion of
The Columbia Record in regard to
the recent cold weather and the cot
ton crop:
That the chilling rainy weather
which has prevailed during the week
over portions of the cotton growing
belt will curtail the crop at least a
million bales, is the opinion in quar-
ters where the weather map is stud
leo In connection with the effects of
the weather on the various crops.
Cotton in the growing state is pe-
cullarly sensitive to cold, although it
bears up well under the sun and will
not be effected unless the drouth is
unusually excessive.
The unusual weather conditions
LOT June, unusally one of the softest
and mildest of the summer months
are prevalent in South Carolina
where the growing of cotton is the
principal agricultural pursuit. Some
OF the students of weather condition
and crop prospects are of the opin-
ION that the staple has suffered to a
considerable extent as the result of
the chilling rains that have fallen

Cotton is the leading financial crop
OF the state and any influence which
tends to prevent a full maturity of

anxiety by the planters. The unsea-

Washington, June 12.-President

the capitol is being called, after he

ride. He had a list of 21 senator's
whom he hoped to talk with about
the appointment of an industrial
commission. Only six answered a
call when he arrived and the Presi-

During that thine, however, besides
Ialklng appointments, he discussed
with Senators Chamberlain and
OGorman the status of the arbitra-
tlon treaties which are up for re-
newal, and which he still hopes nav
be renewed.
After the President discovered
there were no more senators in evil
dence, he used the newly-installed
telephone in his room and informed
oecletdry Lane that he was coming
TO visit him. 1t was another prece-
dent added to the list, for rarely has
President gone calling on a cabinet

Lane, and remembered that the lat

that no hour had been set so he dis
posed of it summarily and went rid

another trip to the Capitol tomorrow

Company M, Eighth United States nj
fantry, three members of the first
company of scouts and one member
of the 20 company of scouts. Lieut..

The casualties are regarded as
light in view of the stubborn resis-

made up unusually strong as a pre-
caution, there being in addition to
the company of regular infantry, a
troop OF calvalry, seven companies
OF scouts, two companies of consta-

forces, declares he will continue oper-
ations in Jolo until the tribesmen' s
guns have been taken and the is

Some of the Inducements.
Nevada, as land of investment,
offers the following inducements.
Cheap land open to all.
Unlimited markets for farm pro-

Butter and eggs by the carload are
brought in from other states. Why
not raise these at home?
Berries and fruits from California,
Utah, Oregon, Colorado and Wash,
ingten are delivered daily by express
in carload lots at half dozen dis
tributing centers of the state.
Nevada is a pioneer state with a
payroll, therefore it is different from
others. There is a home market fol-

Nevada farm lands are the best in
