Another Source of Supply.
Once upon a time the southern
states of America went cotton
wild. It was then that ’‘Cotton Is
King” was heard throughout the
land; rnd Dixie farmers gave up
all crops—even the raising of their
own meat and wheat—for the
snowy balls of the cotton plant.
After several years of the rule of
King Cotton, finances grew low;
and lately southern farmers have
learned that other things besides
cotton can be reared in the soil of
southern agricultural states. Sus
gar, rice, wheat, grains of all kind,
corn potatoes, tobacco and many
other products despite the abso*>
lute reign of King Cotton.
From reports, it appears that
Porto Rico, is just now going
through the throes of the cotton*,
fever. Within a month the cotton
ginneries being erected on the
water front of Sail Juan will be
ginning the most pretentious and
certainly the most significant cot*,
ton crop Porto Rico has raised
within the past forty years. The
output wil be at least 10,000 bales
of some of the finest sea island
cotton ever grown. The best
yields will exceed 1,500 pounds
seed and fiber to the acre, and of
si-ty-eight experimental plots all
will show a piofit. Nothing but
sea island cotton has been plant
ed, and the tendency there is to
encourage as far as possible the
growing of that grade only.
Within a year, it is confidently
expected, the cotton boom in Por*.
to Rico will be attracting wide
spread attention. And as it is not
improbable that through such a
boom the rejuvenated industry will
suffer by a later reaction.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
has given his encouragement and
aid to the cotton crops of Porto
Rico; and the recent decision ot
President Roosevelt the 90,000
acres of public land in Porto Rico
can now be sold leads to the rea
sonable suspition ‘hat a larger
part of this land will ^before long
blossom with cotton. The cotton
fever is in the air.—Macon News.
Etlis Cane has moved into one of
Bill Bell’s new residences this week.
Mrs. Mary Chestnut has returned

Mr. Andrew Hsrrell has disco vs
errd a remedy for killing the buffalo
or little blaok fly that bite and an
noy the oows so much. Pulverise
or beat up the moth ball, mixed with
lard and apply to the oow, and the'
fly will disappear. Mr. Harrell has
thoroughly tried this and reoommend
it from experienoe. •

Criminal Business Heavy.
Our justice courts have been
busily engaged every day this
week with preliminary trials of
criminal cases of all sorts. They
have ranged in importance from
malicious mischief to assault with
intent to murder.
In almost every instance the de
fendants were bound over for trial
before the higher courts. The
chances are that the dockets of
both the September city court and
the Novem ber superior court will
be heavy. Several of the defend
ants waived the formality of a pre
liminary hearing and gave bond
for their appearance.
