The critical Benson for most of tbe
crops Is sow upon us. What delays
or disappointments may have oc-
curred earlier in the season can be
repaired by planting, even if the har-
vest is thereby postponed somewhat,
but the damage that may occur from
now on will be irretrievable, hence
the importance of the next few
months.
Cotton enters this crucial period
rather backward, but with a larger
acreage than last year. The spring
has been generally too cold, and In
many places too dry to afford an ideal
start; nevertheless, should'* the
weather be favorable from now on,
there is no reason why a good full
crop should not be made. In Texas
the conditions have been rather better
than elsewhere, although there were
complaints of drought for a time In
' the southern portion. The boll weevil
Is being much talked of and la much
feared, but his ravages have not yet
commenced fully, and some time must
elapse before an idea can be arrived
at what per cent of loss to the crop
the pest cau be ’ counted on to pro-
duce.
Blast of tbe Mississippi river the
conditions are most favorable close
to the river and least favorable the
nearer the Atlantic coast is approach-
ed. In the section known as the
coast section drought has greatly re-
tarded the crop, already backward
from a cold spring, and good work and
good weather from now on will be re-
quired to restore normal conditions.
All accounts from the rice section
of Louisiana are favorable. The high
river has obviated pumping in the*
river district, and ample rains have
aided Irrigation in western Louisiana.
There seems to b.e no reason to fear
that a good rice crop will not be
made in this State if conditions later
on should be favorable. Some appre-
hension Is felt as to the probable
course of prices, as the market of
late has not been favorable, but it Is
too for ahead to predicate prices for
next season.
In the sugar section everything
looks promising. The crop is making
good progress, although wanner
weather might be desirable. The full
acreage has come up handsomely of
ratoons as well as from plant, and
there has rarely ever been a better
stand at this date of the season. The
crop generally is from a few weeks
to a month ahead compared with last
year. With good summer weather
there is every prospect of a record
crop In Louisiana.
The Louisiana Planter, in Its issue
Saturday, says;
“We are still able to report exceK*
lent agricultural prospects throughout
the cane belt, and the growing crop
is making good headway under the
Influence of the somewhat warmer
weather we have had during the past
few days, a desirable change from the
low temperature earlier In the week.
The spring drought, from which we
have suffered so frequently, has this
year been conspicuous by Its ab-
sence, ample rainfall having now been
had in all quarters, and altogether the
crop prospects can be pronounced de-
cidedly fovorable and encouraging."

The deadlock In the Illinois 8tate
republican convention remains un-
broken. Yates still leads In the con-
vention, with Lowden as a close sec-
ond. President Roosevelt has been
asked to Interfere and forbid the fed-
eral employes taking such a decided
stand for Lowden, but it is not proba-
ble that Mr. Roosevelt will “but in."
It may yet become necessary to use
Cannon to break the blockade in the
Convention.
Representative Burton, chairman Of
the national house committee, on
rivers and harbors will be with us
next month, and will visit Orange and
Beaumont tor the purpose of ascer-
taining what Is needed in the line of
securing deep water on the Sabine
and Neches rivers. Mr. Burton and.
his party will take personal obser-
vations, and not depend upon state-
ments. He will be taken down the
Sabine and shown what a magnificent
water way has been left idle for so
long. Orange has worked long and
hard for deep water, and now that the
federal government has taken cog-
nizance of the matter, we have every
reason to believe that our fondest
hopes may .yet be realized.
MR. COOPER'S APPOINTMENTS.
It is refreshing to announce that
peace reigns in Arkansas; at least we
are told that harmony prevails In the
republican party In that state at
present.
The “Trip Around the World,” Frl

patronized by every one In Orange.
The proceeds will be used for a worthy
cause.

big barbecue and rally to be held
here on the Fourth of July are dili-
gently at work perfecting the arrange-
ments and we are safe in asserting
that it will be Indeed a grand occasion.
Some of the best orators in Texas
have been invited and will be with
us, and there will be every character
of entertainment and amusement.

R. W. Wler Temporarily in Charge of
T. H. Thompson Milling Company.
R. W. Wler has qualified aa tempo-
rary receiver of the T. H. Thompson
Milling company by filling his bond In
the sum of $25,000. The hearing on
the application for a permanent re-
ceiver is set for Friday, the 20th, be-
fore Judge W. P. Hamblea of the Fif-
ty-fifth civil district court.
Aa stated yesterday, action for a
receiver was brought by Hugh Hamil-
ton as a creditor and stockholder of
the corporation, the amount of his
claim being $6000, with that amount
of capital stock as collateral.
According to the petition' the out-
standing Indebtedness of the company
is $130,000, gver $40,000 of which is
past dim.
The T. H. Thompson Milling com-
pany was organized ip 1900 with a
capital stock of $100,000, on which sev-
eral handsome dividends have been
declared. The company owns rice,
wheat, and corn mills and elevators,
situated corner of Semmes and Conti
streets, In the Fifth ward. It has also
been a jobber of bky and Ether feed-
atuffs.
It has been known for some time
that there was a lack of harmony
among certain interests, and the ac-
tion taken yesterday did not come in
the nature of a surprise. It Is tinder-
tood that the permanent receivership
will not be contested.—Houston Chron-

their valuable cargo. Seeing that de- j
feat was inevitable, the Spanish ad-

to prevent the treasure falling into
the hands of the enemy.
It la the cargoes of these scuttled
galleons which it is now proposed to
recover. Their value has been vari-
ously estimated, but it Is known to
have been very considerable.

LIBERTY BELL AT THE FAIR.
The city council of Beaumont, lead
by Hon. George W. Carroll is making
it warm for the gamblers in that city.
It appears that the city marshal ia
not inclined to enforce the law un-

the council are inclined to do the
“compelling." George Carroll never
akes anything, but he carries it

Finally Decided That the Precious Old
Relic Shall Be Taken to St. Louts.
St. Louis, May 18.—At last it has
been determined that the old Liberty
bell will be brought to the World’s
Fair. Many objections to Its removal
from Pht'adelphla were offered at
first, but these have been overcome,
largely because of an appeal from
50,000 St. Ixwls public school chil-
dren.
On July 4, 1776, the bell, even then
many years old, rang out the news Of
the- declaration of Independence, pro-
claiming liberty to the American colo-
nists.
The bell was made in England in
1752. Moulded in the metal just be-
low the crown is the imperishable In-
scription, “Proclaim Liberty Through-
out the Land to All the Inhabitants
Thereof.” While tolling tor the death
of Chief Justice John Marshall, In
1835, the old bell was cracked and Its
silvery tones were lost forever. Every
effort to restore its tone proved un-
avalling.
In Independence hall, Philadelphia,
where the Liberty bell proclaimed in-
dependence 128 years ago, the pre-
cious relic baa been carefully pre-
served. It is mounted upon rollers
so that It can be taken out rapidly In
case of fire. The bell has been seen
at several expositions, but' for the
first time It Is to he on exhibition
west of the Mississippi river, and this
will afford opportunity to millions of
citizens who have not seen the bell.
Many Eager to Enter Naval Academy
and to Occupy Trades.
Washington, May 16.—The second
quarterly report of Prof. William Alex
Sutherland, in charge of the Filipino
students In the United States, has
been received by the bureau of Insular
affairs, war department Prof. Suth-
erland speaks of the excellent health
of the students who spent their first
winter In southern California, and also
of the satisfactory progress made In
their school work.
The present plan Is to collect the
students at some suitable place after
the school year is over and give them
a special summer course along the
lines where special work Is needed,
and then after a short visit to the St.
Louis fair to place them tn schools
and colleges in the Central States.
The students, as far as they have
expressed themselves, desire to pur-
sue a variety of callings upon their
return to their Island homes. Twenty-
five per cent of them expect to be-
come teachers. Some desire to be-
come civil engineers; others dealre to
pursue a commercial course; a tew
wish to study medicine; two are ea
ger to enter the naval academy at An-
napolis and then And employment in
the coastwise service of tbe Philip
pines.
