La Getira he found more than 130,000 acres already under cotton of the Sakel type. The cotton was of a fine healthy type, and the land was clean and remarkably free of weeds, he reported on his return to London.
Cotton growing has also brought i prosperity and happiness in the Sadan. Where formerly there was population often deciminated by famine, he said that to-day there was plenty of grain and fine live- stock.

The market for groundnut oil has continued dull far many months. Peeled groundnut, the material for making groundest oil, is also in active, being greatly affected by the oil market.
In consequence of the political and military unrest, business of various lines, especially that of far- eign goods has been quiet. Since the military activities, very few orders for piece goods have been made.

A man who was said violently to No. 12 Golden City have assaulted his wife because she
him was remanded at Brighton Police Court recently.
He was George. Hibbert, aged thirty, a bricklayer, and his wife said that when her husband noticed tbut her hair had been cut he drew
& razor from his pocket and said, No.
This is going through the house to-night."
He afterwards jumped up, and kis wife, who was in bed, followed him to the landing. He had a razor in his hand, and they strug- gled together.
The wife received cuts on the arm and her husband struck her three- or four times on the head with his fista.
The police were sent for, and the man"was so violent that he had to be bound with a rope.
Hibbert now said that he was under the influence of drink at the time, and did not remember much of what occurred. He admitted that when he saw his wife had her hair cut he became angry.
