in this district has no doubt
cast a damper over those who

additional evidence from a

Crop Repokt.

The following is the condition OF
crops In Tennessee for week ending
August oath:
The seasonable showers that fell
in many portions of the Middle and
Western and upper Eastern Sections
last week had a reviving effect on
late growing crops and pastures
and caused more hopeful spirit
among farmers. The material mod
lficatiOn of the heat has also had a
beneficial effect. Aside from these
there is but little change to report
from last weeks conditions. Cotton
picking is in rapid progress, and as
the bulk of the crop is already open
1t is safe to say that with favorable
weather nearly all will be gather
ed within the coming week or ten
days. Crop has been seriously shor-
tened by the intense drouth, and

be held September 3.

The primary called by the Com
mittee of the Tenth Congressional
District, of which Hugh Petit is
chairman, yesterday changed the
date of the primary from October
7 to September 8. The reasons fol
this action are set forth in the fol
lowing statement:
Memphis, Aug. IA, '96.
To the Democracy of the Tenth
Congressional District:
"Yielding to the suggestion of
many leading democrats throughout
the district who urge upon us that
October Z, the date heretofore Sc
lected for holding a primary cleo
ton to select a democratic candi-
date for congress, will be busily en-
gagged and unable to devote the
time necessary to the holding of a
primary, and tor the interests of the
democratic party and for the conve-
nience of the people of the district,
we, the executive committee of the
Tenth Congressional District of
Tennessee, do hereby order that the
date for holding the primary be,
and is hereby changed from Octo-
der 7 to September 8. Upon thor
ough investigation, we are fully
satisfied that this change is IN the
interests of the democracy, and that
all voters will be better enabled to
attend primary on the date named,
September 3.
''Be it further ordered that the
congressional committee to be COM
posed of five members-two men,
bers from Shelby and one each from
Fayette, Upton and Hardeman
counties, be elected at the same
time, and under the same rules and
regulations as are prescribed for the
