From time to time in reeve t yeara the feasibility of canaliing Brown I onek and draining the lands lylnz along m banks has received more or j 1 consideration from the pergon? t & Gmpany, most interested. ThU treek runs en-1 Mr. D. & Pricker is moving hi tirely through the county, and owing J farxiily to Cheraw, S. C, this week, to its course being through a flat Mr. Bricktr is with a steam shovel country tnere are many thousand acres of the finest iand in " the state along its bunk that are inundated anywhere from three to five times a year. For- this reason practically all the wide bottoms on both sides of the stream aie now covered with almost impenetrable undergrowth and tim-l-r. It the creek was canalled and these immense bottoms opened to cultivation the amount of coru that could be grown on them would make this county independent of the west ern grain fields. That it is practic able to drain the creek with th , improved-machinery obtainable at this day is now being demonstrated in Catawba county. Clark's creek in that .. county is very-similar to Brown creek in its general character istic. The country through which it runs is so flit that the fine land3 along its banks went to waste. Last spring the farmers owning lands on the creek purchased a dredging machine. The machine has been in operation some time and has proved a perfect success. It cuts a canal almost any siz wanted and does it at a cost that is not prohibitive. The expense of canaliing tins creek is born by the persons through whose laud it runs,in propor tion to the value of the land Would it not be a good idea for some of the large land owners on Brown Creek to go to Catawba and investigate the practicability of pur - purchasing a dredging machine to be used in opening that creek?

Texan Rain Deflclent. " New Fork, Feb. 1 1- The rise of the past week in cotton was based on the activity in the actual cotton, not only iu thiscoun trybut also in Europe, wnere Lancashire aud the continent have bought with avid ity. Liverpool daily spot sales have rang ed from 10,000 to 22,000 bales a day, aver Aixing about 12,000. Also at some points in the South thespotsale3 have noticeably increased. , The recently large purchases of March and May here, by prominent interests are supposed to have been with a view of -ac-ci'pting deliveiT' of considerable quanti ties of the New York stock. , East India crop estimates have been reduced about 2T0,000 bales. ; - - J ; Texas rains have be3n deficient thus far this winter. The total deficit in Decem ber and January as compared with the normal, amounts to roughly 1 to 4 1-2; inches. The interest of all this lies in the t fact tliat ii seems to be necessary in Texas ! to have a copious winter rainfall in order i that the subsoil may store up what is ' kuown a a good "season" to enable the ! cotton area of the state to withstand the ! efft-cts of summer rtrnn.hu TUa i fioui ism to iswo to 191)3-1904 both incln-1 Bivo, ranged from 9,436,000 bales to 10,727,-' "Ul) Dalt's were inadequate as in the j meantime tne world's consumption had i SL, ot IZ about the deficiency thus far in the winter rains in Texas. Later rains may put a good "season" into the soil. The acreage, it is contend--ed, will be increased in Texas and wher ever elseit may be possible. But many are skeptical as to the possibility of inaufru rating another bull campaign this season. The general public is ignoring cotton after the severe punishment which it received some nme ago. ui late there has been a 1 toowmg reeling mat a reaction is.
