The Journal says: "The old darkey is Tom Sikes. Tom is a charter member of the gang and is on and off all the time. He has the reputation of never stealing or telling a lie. The other day Tom was sentenced to the gang for delivering liquor. While on his way to jail, he remarked to Chief Lancy, 'Cap, you needn't put me in jail to wait till they send for me, just give me the com mitment papers and I'll go on out and get my suit.' About this time Capt. Fletcher came along and Mr. Lancy told him Tom's desire. Mr. Fletcher said: 'Come on up town with me and get some packages and take them along. Tom did this and proceeded to the stockade by himself. On get ting in calling distance he yelled out, :Here, git me a clean suit; I want to git it on before Captain gits here.' Then the gang gave Tom a welcoming that could have been heard a mile." A Peculiar Case. Law is a strange thing, or at least its many interpretations and con structions. Here is a case.

It is a peculiar construction to say the least. Democrats Should Be Indignant at Brother Democrats. - Albemarle Chronicle.

The Egyptian Cotton. The Washington correspondent of the Charlotte Observer has sent that paper an interesting article on the Egyptian cotton and its culture In sections of the United States. The correspondent says: That the requirements of the cot ton goods industry necessitates the importation of approximately 60,000, 000 pounds of Egyptian cotton, cost ing $16,000,000, Is probably un known to the majority of readers who read of the enormous crops of cot ton produced In the Southern States and learn that during the last seven months all records have been broken and practically $500,000,000 worth of that staple has been exported. But it was the considerable value of this import that induced the United States Department of Agricul ture several years ago to endeavor to develop Egyptian cotton culture In the United States in order to supply this market with a home-grown pro duct. Although experiments were made at different points from South Caro lina to Texas, as well as in western Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and Southern California, it was only In the Colorado River region that cli matic and other conditions similar to those in the Nile valley, and suited to the long staple Egyptian cotton were found. There 600,000 acres of excellent land are, or soon will be, under ditch in the Imperial, Yuma, Salt and Gila valleys, and one-fifth this acreage could produce the amount of Egyptian cotton annually imported for the use of New England mills. For several years studies and ex periments with the various Egyptian varieties have been undertaken In southern f Arizona, southeastern Cali fornia and Egypt and several bulle tins have been issued giving detailed reports of the progress made and suc cess achieved. Just now the Department has Is sued another pamphlet, reporting the results of a visit to the cotton-growing districts of Egypt in June and July, 1910, of the blonomlst of the Department, in which is shown that the mixture of Hindi cotton is prov ing to be a serious burden upon the Egyptian cotton industry. Hindi is the name applied in Egypt to an un desirable type of cotton with a short, weak fiber, that injures the high grade Egyptian varieties by infesting them with hybrids. The introduction of the Egyptian cotton into the United States brings also the problem of the Hindi cotton, and the practicability of establishing a commercial cultura of the Egyptian cotton In the United States depends largely upon the elim ination of Hindi contamination and other forms of diversity, zo that the fiber may be produced In a satisfac tory condtion o uniformity.
