COTTON FUND
COMING SOON
PROPORTION OF $50. 900, 900 ADD
TIONAL FOR BANKS READY.
BANKERS POINT OUT NEED
Stipulation That Ten Per Cent of Sc
curity for Deposits Be in Govern
ment Bonds Withdrawn.

Washington.-Treasury department
officials practically decided Monday to
begin within the next few days placing
in banks in the cotton states their pro-
portion of the additional $4,000, 900
government deposits for crop-moving
purposes. The need for these deposits
in the Southern states was outlined by
the bankers from that section at the
recent conferences with officials Of the
department.
II was stated at the department that
the cotton crop movement already had
begun and that the need for the money
was urgent. Representatives from sew
eral Southern states told the department
that unless the money could be placed
within the new few weeks it would be
practically valueless to them.
A consideration hat was most potent
in deciding the department was that
the South could return the money in
time for it's use in other sections. 1t
was indicated that the cotton planters
would be through with money during
September and hat it could be returned
to the treasury department not later
than the middle of November. No final
decision has as yet been reached on the
proportion of the deposits that are to be
made in the respective sections, but it

PART OF hUMOR.

1t was the saying of an ancient
sage that humor was the only test OF
gravity, and gravity OF humor. for a
subject that would not bear raillery
is suspicious. and a Jest that will not
bear a serious examination is GER
tainly false to it. But the laws OF
humor must apply to the laws of good
breeding II the humor is to be genu-
finely appreciated. 1t is well that our
conversation should be spiced with
wit, but should smack of cleanliness
and not of the low and vulgar sugges-
tons. 1t is a growing pity that men
and women are becoming careless in
their forms OF speech. 1t may offend
many to hear this, but 1t is the truth,
and sometimes the truth is an uncom-
Portable champion. There are also
cases in which a joke becomes posi-
lively good because It is so intoler-
ably bad. not In a moral sense. but
In a humorous one. Such jokes are
%applauded in an inverse ratio of their
real merit. as the great monors are
frequently showered upon men who
have the least honor. A good laugh
is a great cure for dyspepsia, but the
laugh must be honestly aroused. 1t
must come from a wholesome source.

CONDITION OF COTTON CROP
Plant East of River Has Made Remark
able Growth.

Memphis, Tenn.-The cotton crop
made remarkable progress east of the
Mississippi river during the last fort
night. West of the river there was con-
siderable deterioration, except in most
of Arkansas and Louisiana, on account
of extremely dry, hot weather. Consid-
cred as a whole, the improvement in the
one section about offsets the deteriora-
tion in the other, so that the period may

CHARGE AGAINST CRossLEY
That He Opposed Union Organization
Movement Among Car Men
y Hence the Non Support.

Az d meeting of three local unions
last night. the representatives while
going on record as favoring baseball
in Cairo this summer, are opposed,
however, to the support of the local
club SO long as w. r. crossley, sup
.erintendent Of the Traction com
pany. remains at the head OF the or
ganizatlon.
The union men, assert this action
Is Forthcoming because 1t Is alleged
Mr.. Crossley was not In accord with
d movement some time ago to organ
ize a union among the street car en-
ployes, They say they favor base
ball. but not 50 long as he remains
at the head Of the local association.
The three unions who met and
made such an agreement last night
were the BARRIERS, Painters and Bar
tenders, and the first two will as
sess fine of S. on each member and
the latter fine of $3.50 If they at
tend an exhibition of the national
Isport here under the existing eondi-
tions.
| A prominent member Of the local
hartenders union, man of some in
telllgence, last night stated that he
did not believe that the action of
Ibis union would be binding upon in
dlvdual members as 1t was unjust
and malicious, insofar as 1t applied
to the Cairo Baseball association.
II they wanted TO enforce any
stringent rule for the alleged dis
termination of Mr.. Crossley against
the formation of union on the
Traction company individual mem
bers of the union have the legal
fright to walk instead of ride, and to

would be against the Law to declare
a boycott.
