When properly stored and insured,
cotton is considered by many TO be
one OF the very best collaterals that
can be offered upon which to loan
money Money loaned on cotton
stored i'll such warehouses should COM
mand a very low rate of interest. One
OF the primary reasons that farmers
and business men have for storing
cotton, is to enable them to borrow
money upon it until market conditions
improve.
The correct designing of a cotton
warehouse is of much Importance be-
cause upon the construction of the
warehouse depends the rate of insur-
ance charged for the cotton inside it.
The average insurance rate. it is said
IN the buildings now in use is as high
as 81 a year on $780, In standard
warehouses, properly protected by au-
tomato sprinkler equipment. this rate
could be reduced to % cents on 500
1t is a curious fact, that many of the
warehouses now in use cost more TO
Build than if they had been made to
conform to the standards.

since that time the Daughters of the
Confederacy and others interested
have been trying to get accustomed to
the idea of tearing down the struc-
ture.
In event the legislature decides to
tear down the building there is some
little speculation as to whether the
state will hold the property and use it
for park purposes or whether it will
be sold for business purposes.
In good many quarters of Jackson
one can get rather warm argument
on this subject and many hold that
the proper thing would be to make
Of the property park, while others
declare that if placed on the market
the site would be used either for a
hotel of for an immense office build
ing.
At any rate il is very generally be-
lieyed the legislature, which meets in
January, will do something with the
fast crumbling structure and this will
probably be one of the interesting bits
of legislation discussed at the next
session.

Will become of the old capitol is a

AS is well known the building has
been declared unsafe and a fence
built about it to keep people from get
ting too close to the mass of masonry
which, it is said is liable to crumble
at any moment.
At the last session of the legisla-
ture an attempt was made to secure
an appropriation to repair the old
building and use it for additional of
fees for the State House. The Iegis-
lature could not see the point and the
bill, introduced by Speaker Quin, was
killed.

NATCHEZ CLAIMS HAMMOND.

NatcheZ, Miss, Aug. 13-Many have
read recently of John Hays Ham
monds invention of the radio wireless
submarine torpedo, which he pro-
poses to dispose of to the United
States government and which bids
fair to revolutionize present methods
of warfare, but few if any realize that
this great inventor, was the creation
of old NatcheZ brain and blood.
Nevertheless 1t is a proven fact,
and Natchez is entitled to the honor
and glory of furnishing the brain to
make such an achievement possible.
Mr.. Hammond, according to the best
records obtainable is a grandson of
Judge William Harris, prominent at
tOrney and man of means residing in
Natchez during the days when the
city was recognized as the center of
wealth, learning and refinement.
Mr.. Hammond's mother was a
daughter of Judge James Harris for
many years a prominent lawyer of
Vicksburg, a man who made quite a
reputation for ability in his chosen
profession.
Mr.. Hammond is also a nephew of
General Nat Harris, the famous Con-
federate general, who commanded the
Micuicctnni hriu ho
fighting brigade of Mississippi, and
which won signal honors in and
around Richmond.
From the foregoing 1t is readily
seen that Natchez has every reason to
feel interested in the success of Mr..
Hammond and his new invention.

COTTON DETERIoRATiNG.

Jackson, Miss, Aug. 13.-Arthur H.
Scott, acting section director of the
Chronological Service of the Weather
Bureau, Department of Agriculture,
has issued his regular weekly bulletin
relative to the effects of climatic con-
ditions on crops.
The bulletin is encouraging in that
Ii declares the boil weevil is not as
active at this time as was the case a
few weeks ago
The bulletin in full Is as follows:
Except at few points where local
showers gave sufficient moisture, the
weather continued hot and dry. Cot
ton has deteriorated at most points,
but is still in fairly good condition.
There are many complaints of she'd
ding and of cotton opening prema-
turely. The boil weevil is not as &C.
tive as in past weeks. Late corn and
truck crops are suffering severely
from the drought and all crops need
rain badly"
Farmers in this section are claim.
Oring for rain. These gentlemen state,
however, that the long dry spell has
been disastrous to the boil weevil and
say that where fields of cotton have
been picked to keep down this pest
the loss from weevil will not be near
ly as great this year as last. The
farmers of Kinds county learned long
ago that the price of making a crop
of cotton was in part eternal vigilance
against the boil weevil and now the
fight on this pest is figured as a prop
er charge against the cost of produc-
ton.
In this section, according to farm
ers, the cotton crop has been material
ly reduced this year and there will
not be more than 80 per cent of last
years yield harvested. The cotton is
said to be opening and indications
