TWO ESTIMATES.

CAIRO, Nov. 22.-There is a serious
diversity Of opinion between the esti-
mates of the cotton crop bv the Alex

Agricultural Department. The former
put the coming crop at 100000 can
tars 1898, 100000 pounds) against L.
100000 cantars C767,250,OOO pounds) i,
estimated by the latter.
There Is not much doubt about the
correctness of the first estimate, and
farmers throughout Egypt complain
of the meagerness of the crop and the
shortness of water.
The factors and cotton growers
have sent the following resolution to
the Agricultural Department:

port estimates the coming crop at
about 7,695,OO0 cantars (761, sos, 900

JUDGE IN MACON
DECLARES BEER
IS |NTOX|CANT 7.
Mathews Enjoins Cafe From Doing
Business, Branding 1t as
Blind Tiger.

MACON, Nov. 22.-The cafe owned
by Ed Lob was to-day enjoined from
further doing business by Judge II. A.
Mathews on the ground that by selling
beer it violated the State prohibition
law against the sale of intoxicants
and thus become blind tiger" sub
iect to abatement as a nuisance.
The injunction granted by Judge
Mathews, upon the petition of the Law
Enforcement League, is absolutely
binding until it is reversed either by
jury or by the Supreme Court.
Judge Mathews holds that the
standard brands of beer are intoxi-
eating and that their sales are in di-
rect violation of the prohibition law.
If his decision Is upheld by the Su-
preme Court, to which an appeal will
be made soon as possible, the sale Of
beer in Georgia will be absolutely out
lawed.
In his decision Judge Mathews de-
clared that he is supported by the
Leading legal authorities as to beer
being an intoxicant, and that as the
prohibition law prohibits the sale Of
"intoxicants," he was forced to hold
that the sale of beer is positive vio-
lation. A chemist testified in the Lob
case that beer analyzed by him after
purchase at Loh's place contained 4
per cent of alcohol. One of the de-
PENDANTS witnesses swore that he
drank 80 bottles in IL hours without
getting drunk
This decision to-day Is regarded by
the attorneys and members of the
Law Enforcement League as the most
important Act rendered in Georgia
under the prohibition law

Mr. Rice went right at his subject.
He explained the structure of the

animal, and the difference in struc-
ture of insect eating birds from those
that feed on weed seed and grain.

who may at any hour be called hence. The meetings of the local societies are held every two weeks and are often enlivened and made interesting by song and story of Bonnie Scotland. The lit erature of Burns and Scott, Stevenson and Carlyle, and many lesser stars in this great constellation is often han died with intelligence worthy of the subject and appreciation that always has a. note of love and reverence in it. The heroes that fought, for the liberty. Of Scotland, such as Wallace and Bruce, the scientists and engineers that have made Scotland famous all over the world such as Thomson and Arro1, the preachers who have enlarged that strong religious faith that has sustained Scotsmen in all cIimes and in spite of all diversity; these, and many more of the sons of Au1d Scotia, are kept ever alive in the memory of the members of this order by contact with their histories, their Biographies and the writings they have left be- hind.
 Of course, not every man born in Scotland is a Scot at heart, nor is any one born in Scotland of alien parent age eligible for membership in the o. s. c. But there is no fraterna1 or sanitation today existent that is more truly patriotic, more truly brotherly, more truly secure than this Order of Scottish Clans. The dues are norni- naI-50 cents a onth-and the insur- ance assessme ents are as low as, if not lower than, any other fraternal society of similar pretensions.

men or the sons and grandsons of Scotsmen Or Scotswomen, and as such of course the growth can never become so large as that of a society open to any and all natfonaIfties. But to coun terbaIance this lack of numbers is the feeling of absolute security there is behind the work of the officers and members both of the National society,
 or Royal Clan as it is called, and also of every local Clan. The membership p is now about 10000, covered. by 175 sub ordinate Clans. The reserve fund of the order amounts to almost s200, 900, the greater portion of which is care fully invested at per cent. This it. self brings in a tidy little sum to the coffers every year. Besides this, each local Clan. has it's own general fund, and some of the larger Clans have quite a few thousands laid carefully away against the rainy day. The order is governed by a body of off cers elected bfennfal1y at a convention of delegates from the various subordi- held, this year, in Philadelphia, com
 mencing Tuesday, Aug. 18th, continu- ing till Friday evening. The foregoing facts can be verified easily if any one 1 wishes to do so. They cover only the business side of this great order and is only one-half the ind1cement the order offers to Scotsmen. "BIood is thicker than water,'' and the accent of the North, South, East or West of the dear old homeland is sweet music to the ears of the true hearted Scotsman.
 This order offers all that, and more than any mere club or social society can possibly offer because of the re- sponsibility, the nobility of its service and sacrifice for the sake of the wid- ows and orphans. This makes it's pa triotisna all the~ grander, it's loyalty all
 the truer and it's search for character all the more earnest. This it is that prompts great deeds of loving service,
 that take time and sacrifice, for the wise end that the funds may be swelled for. the widows and orphans of those

The great Scottish field day at Light house Point, New Haven, on Saturday, Aug. 2d, is causing quite ripple Of excitement all over the State. For the people realize that with the Scotch a field day is a. field day, and not a bluff or a fake. This particular field day, preceded by parades in Bridgeport and New Haven, will cover at least live
 hours of track and field events, foot ball games, dancing and other amuse- ments. The entire function is under the direct management of committee selected by the various Clans in the State and a more reliable body of men it would be hard to find anywhere. The sub-com1nfttees are all up-to-the minute men who have been, or are, athletes of ability So the general pub lie are taking more than kindly in terest in the projected outing on Sat urday. And many a Scot and eligible descendant of a Scotsman or Scots woman who have not yet affiliated themselves with the order are asking: What does the Order of Scottish Clans represent? What does 1t offer and what is the object of the organization? :? l Is it a good investment, is it a worthy aggregation of good men who bear good regulations in the community | To all of these questions the follow ing article is intended to give an in 'teIIigent answer and if there is any point that has not been made clear, a note to the writer, care of this news paper, will. receive careful attention and a courteous reply.
 The Order of Scottish Clans is a fra ternal organization, carrying a weekly
 sick benefit and insurance depart
 ments. The sick benefit is under the direction Of each local Clan and the insurance is managed directly by the Royal or National officers. The order has been in operation for about thirty
 five years and during that time has disbursed nearly two million dollars in death beql1eathments and about three
 quarters of a. million in sick benefits l IgheE mernbership Is confined to Seots-
