The harbor was exceedingly choppy and the smaller craft passing "to and fro in the river found it excedingly difficult to keep their courses. In some of tjtie docks along the 'water front the water was even, with the wharf, but so far as is known there was no damage by over flows.

King, of the New York Cotton Exchange, has written a letter to the -Southern Cotton Association which" deals with the sub ject of over-prodnction. The.! letter says in part: . ." . ..- . J: "In my opinion the coming planting season will prove- toje.the- most try: ing if not the most critical in the ex perience of the cotton growers of the South. Trying, because there are many 'who believe 10 or 10 1-2 cents will firove so serious a temptation to the planter that he will put every avail able acre in cotton; This opinion- is not confined to this section of the country alone, but is endorsed by many of the good people of the South, not planters of cotton, I am glad to say. It will indeed prove a critical season for the planter and for the en tire South should the temptation to over-plant in cotton be carried out The years of splendid work of your asso ciation, together with that of others who have co-operated, will be swept away, and a condition of servitude for the planter will be re-enacted with its consequent. 6 or 7 cents for cotton. This is not an extreme picture. It is certain to occur unless the. planters stand solidly together and for their own protection diversify the planting, putting in a moderate acreage only in cotton. If the planters, will not pro tect thmeselves in a matter of such vital Interest,; to --whom can they look for help? Certainly not to the buyer and consumer. To sum up the matter, the situation for weal or for woej for 7 cents or for 12 cents, is entirely in the hands of the planter. In a brief interval of time the world , will know whether he has proven lalse to him self or has had the courage and man liness to resist the temptation which now -threatens to wrest from him the control of the situation." . I. The Associaion has sent outanother appeal to growers to cut their cotton acreage 25 per cent below the acreage planted In 1904, and to increase food supply crops proportionately. UNIQUE "SCRAP' ON WHARF Two Men Going Across River to Settle Differences Became Involved With the Referee The Sequel. - . ' A Uvely "scrap" that was unique in many of its features took place ear ly yesterday afternoon at the foot of Market street Messrs. Walter Way and Will Terry, both well known in the city, had agreed, so the story goes, to go- across (he river and settle some difficulty among themselves" by a per sonal combat removed from the danger of the police and interference of. spec tators, each having confidence in aim- self, and prepared to test i his phy sical strength. Mr. W. E. Watson, well known as an athlete, was asked to eo over and referee the match. They had .- reached, the siterryr.to . crsa.thn j- rlver and-hile waitihg" the -referee De came involved with one of the . men and ,by some manner or means, they all three got in the mix-up, "the. ret; eree proving himself a match for any thing on the "pike.- There was knock out after knock-out-and finally 3. knife was drawn. The referee was not .iirlt for anything but muscle and brawn, so he took the knife away from the' an--tagonist-and threw, it into the river. -All. three were later recognized, for their "appearancein Justice Furlong's court to-day where the affair will be good-naturedly settled as- neither one or the others of the men seem to have any animosity in the affair. -'Ts-' -.Aif-f' PERSONAL PARAGRAPHS?
