Dear Old Tab Heel: With all Uncle Sam's improved methods "toating" the mail, the cars making the run from the Atlantic to the Pacific in four days or less, and the atmoe phere crowded with airships, yet it takes all of six days for The Times to reach me; though when it does Mary, my good wife, who is a typical Cali- tornian enjoys it so much that we have to toss "heads and tails" to see who reads it first. Only a few days ago while leisurely walking down one of Stockton's princi pal streets, my attention was attracted by a negro hack man alighting from his carriage, handing a white man a whisk broom and giving him instruc tions to brash him, the colored man off, and after he completed the task, (a very pleasant one indeed judging from the smiles he made) all the thanks or compensation which he received were only a home-made cigarette. 80 you see a negro here is about on a par with some of the white people. Teddy Roosevelt's friend, Booker T., was here about a year ago and one of tbe very finest churches in the city was simply turned over to him. He spoke in this magnificent edifice to many thousands of people, and received almost as great a distinction as the late William McKinley did when he passed through Stockton. ratricide seems to be the order of the day in Stockton and vicinity; only three cases within a period of about eighteen months. All the boys were still in the their "teens," and the two first cases was brought about by the fathers and mothers having some few little quarrelsome words, while the third one simply set fire to his parents house and burned them up, so the jury found. Verdict: The first one came clear, and since has been traveling in the very swellest society. The second got eight years in the State prison, while the third get death. Honestly I believe there is more deviltry and crime committed in this State to the square inch than any other spot on the face of the good Lord's green earth, except maybe the empire of Russia. Scarcely a day passes but that the papers do not chronicle several burglaries or highway robberies, that is for this town, mind you. The robbers ret go and stick a "gun" (pistol) be- twen a fellow s eyes and command him to "shell out," which, of couse, he usually does. A well known man of this city, whose word for honesty cannot be questioned, informed me that he was "hilt"-op a few years ago, and as the robbers only found on his person the amount of twenty-five cents, they sailed in an gave him a very severe beating for not Saving more. The Californians are the greatest people on earth to eat ; they can just eat all day and all night. That is why there is so much "stomach trouble here. Keally they remind me to a great extent of chickens that eat at any and all times. There is a large wagon that makes regular trips all around the city every day, cooking and selling "hot waffles" right from the wagon. While there are tamale peddlers who travel the streets all night lone Mating at a very loud voice "t-a-m-a 1-e-s!" The Jlher day while conversing with a highly educated man of Stockton, I asked, did you ever travel through Dixie 7 and what was your opinion of Dixieites? Well, said he, "I found the white people very sociable and gener ous, but they nearly all seem to talk ust like the "niggers," that is they would say "Yeh I reckon" and "done gone," and I said that such existed only with those who are still on the illiterate list. I also informed him that I could tell whether a fellow was from Stockton, Cal., Duluth, Minn., or Ban gor, Me., in the dark as well as in the light, not by any particular signs, but by their using their nose instead of the mouth to talk with, saying "all het up" and "nosses" for horses. The most of the children here are spoken of as "kids," as they border and get well into their "teens." My observation is that very few, if any, know the value of a dollar or of prop erty, neither do they show but little respect in many cases to people older than themselves. I have a neighbor who came from the old North State, they have a youngster born on the soil of Californi&epresident joraan writes important and his fwther vows that he's just as mean as the rest of them hje in fact, has no traits of bis consequently have about decided to disown him and let him run the race set before him, while his good mother still clings to him and can be seen of times on her piazza call at the top of her voice, Fred-d i-e! We had a minister here a few years ago who was in charge of one of the largest churches of the city. When his term expired as pastor and his salary was discussed at some length, tbe idea being to reduce it, whereupon he bit terly objected and gave as his reason, that he was not a 2x4 preacher, but a 6x8 if you please. That brought to my recollection, days, weeks, months, years, ago when Bro. Fete used to sing and saw away on his old violin thus The preacher In the Pulpit, Preaching so bold. Preaching for your money. And never save your soul. Well, old boy, I have much more to tell you but will have to wait until the next time, then I may write you con oerning the resources of Stockton and San Joaquin county. As ever, your old friend, ' Jno. H. Jenkins. 8tockton, Cal', Feb. 28, 1905. A Great Battle In Mancuurla Charlotte Observer, 8th. For ten days the Japanese and Rus sian armies in Manchuria have been engaged in a mighty conflict, the issue of which has not yet been reached. Al though the most of the news from the scene of the battle com through Rus sian sources, and consequently may be supposed to present the facts in a as favorable a light as possible for the Russian armies, it is evident that the Japanese made some gains yesterday. St. Petersburg has an unofficial report that General Kuropatkin's center has been broken and that thirteen siege guhs have fallen into the hands of the Japanese. These guns, which are ofJ six and eight-inch calibre, were given permanent emplacements on the line of the railroad north of Shakhe station, evincing the confidence of the Russians that the Japanese could not penetrate thither. In St. Petersburg it is gener ally believed that General Kuropatkin was yesterday fighting the rear guard action to cover his retreat and that the night will have witnessed a large with drawal of troops toward Tie Pass. All of the commander-in-chief's ability, it is said, will be required to extricate his army from its present predicament. The issue, it is expected, will be decided to-day, and a great deal unquestionably depends upon the comparative .ability of the opposing armies to resist the effects of hunger and fatigue, the limit of human endurance having evidently been nearly reached on both sides. Be yond the statement that the casualties exceed those of the battle of Liao Yang, there is little known as to the number killed or wounded. Explosion of A Letter- Lexington, March 7. Postmaster J G. Walser was slightly injured and greatly frightened yesterday afternoon by the explosion of a letter, which he was stamping in the course of his duties in the postoffice. Mr. Welser's eye was hurt by powder burn, and bis face blackened by the expk sion. The report being as loud as a pistol shot, was heard some distance and caused considerable excitement. . The letter which caused the trouble, on being examined, was found to contain a lot of caps such as are used by small boys in toy cannofis. There is7 some mystery about tbe mat ter. The letter was mailed here, and the name of the party to whom it was addressed baa not been given out by the poetoffioe. For an Impaired Appetite.

Harvie Jordan, president of the Southern Cotton Association, has written an interesting article regarding distressed cotton." He suggests that the cotton which is beirag sold in the small towns and cities where there are not tbe proper warehouse or banking facilities, be bought by some cotton company and kept off the market at present prices. He deals at length with the situation and points out how all such cotton could be kept off theJ market at the present price. Mr. Jor dan says: "At a great many local points throughout the cotton belt, where bank ing and warehouse facilities are limit ed, some cotton is gradually being forced on the market and sold because the owners are forced to have some money either to pay pressing obliga tions or to pay for some necessary sup plies that cannot be otherwise secured. All cotton of this kind ought to be pro tected in such local communities and prevented from being forced on the market. In every town where cotton is sold there ought to be formed a cot ton company of bankers, merchants and leading farmers to devise some way to protect and hold this cotton. Not a bale of such cotton ought to be allowed to go out of the country at present prices, or to get into the hands of tbe exporteis. Men who have money idle, and there are always such men in every town, should let it be known that they are willing to advance f 25 on such cot ton to the owners, or if it must be seld, then get together and buy it in. Cot ton will always be a safe purchase at present prices where the party buying is able to hold the staple for a few months. Let each community get to gether now and cooperate to prevent any cotton from being markted and shipped to the ports. It can be done all over the south if the proper effort is made. It is being done at many points in Georgia and other states. Don't permit this distress cotton to be sold in your markets and shipped to ewell the receipts. With united effort the-pres ent holding movement can be made absolutely successful, and the price of cotton soon forced up to 10 cents per pound at the ports. But there must be united action all along the line. A few bales here and there in all the 812 counties sold each day will in the aggre gate run the number of bales up info the thousands and enable exporters who are short to partially at least fill their contracts. This is what the cpot .holders don't want to see done. Tbe cotton must be held so tight that the movement will almost cease and force the buyers to actively bid up the price. "The amount of cotton sold from the crop of 1904 cannot possibly last longer than June. If no more cotton should be sold the mills generally would be forced to close down in June and a cot ton famine ensue. All mills can easily pay 10 cents per pound for American cotton, and will do so if the holders will not throw their cotton on the market and sell the staple for less. The various county or parish organizations of the Southern Cotton Association should promptly take this matter up and de vise ways and means to protect all cot ton forced on the market in their re spective localities. Farmers who have considerable cotton on hand and need money can easily arrange to borrow 125 per bale at a low rate of interest by shipping his cotton to a good bonded warehouse. There are several of these warehouses in Georgia, and some of the other states, where money can be borrowed at 6 per cent per annum on warehouse receipts. We face a serious condition and must not allow the op portunity to win in this fight to fail, Every man who is able ought to assist in this movement to prevent any cot ton from being forced to sale. It is a fight of the southern people against tbe world, with the odds largely in our favor. Harvie Jordan, "Pres. Southern Cotton Association." Confederate Bennloa.
