The Crop Report

Commissioner of Agriculture Culver is- sued his monthly crop report today The report is very encouraging in all crops except cotton and late corn. The general average of the cotton crop Is 70 per cent, as compared with the crop last year. This is 4 points below the August report. In the southeastern counties known as the wiregrass section the crop Is perhaps bet ter than last year. but in the black belt there is an average falling off of from one third to one-half. Sixty-four per cent of the crop Is already gathered. The general grade of the staple is the best in years. The top crop Is a failure on account of the drought.
 Early corn has made very fair yield this year, but late corn Is a failure. Prob ably the largest hog crop in the h. story of the state has been gathered and the quail ity Is reported very fine. The dry weather has cut off the promised yield, but still the amount harvested exceeds last year. Sweet potatoes are quoted at 100 per cent, while sugar cane gets a rating of 105.
 Altogether the farmers of the state are reported in a better condition than for nine years. Fair prices for all products prevail and both producers and purchas- CTS are happy.

SHIELDS PRAISE OF
A SLAIN ORDERLY

WASHINGTON, Aug. MAJOR George
r. Shields, surgeon of the Third Brigade
at Manila. has made report to Surgeon
General Sternberg under date of June l
of his duties during April and May. In
1t he specially commends Private Paul
Gompers of the Hospital Corps, who was
Killed in action April %.
Major Shields says: ION April %. dur
ing the advance at the river Bagbag, my
orderly, Private Paul Gompers. was ia
tally wounded while on the armored car,
a Remington bullet passing through his
neck, completely severing the carotid ar
terry and jugular vein on both sides. L
beg here to call the attention of the sur
geon general to the services of this man.
He was constantly with me from Feb
ruary until the day of his death; We
were together on the firing line during
the battle and after the battle, ana he
performed his duty so bravely, so faith
fully and so unselfishly that he gained
the respect and admiration of the COM
manding general and his staff, as well as
all with whom he came in contact
could quote instance after instance of
his bravery but l feel that the collective
statements which l have made will be
evidence enough of the fact that he was
a man of unusual merit.

advisability of forming a permanent la
Dor political party. President Samuel
Prince of the Central Federated Union
called the organization to order.

ground that he had been a candidate on

DEWEY'S EYE ON MANILA
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO
Requested Permission to Capture the
City at the Time of the
Virginius Affair

WASHINGTON, Aug. An interesting
historical fact dating back to -S73 has
come to light in which Admiral Dewey
was the central figure. Dewey, then
commander was in command of the
United States ship Narragansett on the
Asiatic station, having taken charge of
the vessel on March l. 1873. The vessel
was on surveying duty when the Vir
ginius trouble was precipitated and a war
with Spain seemed imminent Commander
Dewey wrote to the Navy Department re-
questing that in case war was declared he
be assigned to the duty of capturing Ma
Mia. The peaceful settlement Of the con-
troversy with Spain avoided the necessity
for a hostile demonstration, but the in
teresting fact is that the doughty officer
had his eye on Manila over a quarter of
a century Rgo. 5s....s.
A search will be made for the letter IN
the files of the Navy Department and If 1t
is found 1t is expected an effort will be
made by the citizens committee to have

ton to be rendered Admiral Dewey on his

spondent eff the Daily Mail says Admiral

correspondent the admiral will visit Lon

The Lord Advocate said also he had no
knowledge Of the facts in the case ex-
cept that he saw in the newspapers that
Mr.. Carnegie had been appointed deputy
lieutenant. He was not aware whether
Mr.. Carnegie was naturalized or not and
undoubtedly the Lord Chancellor and
Lord Lieutenant did not know the cir
Cumstance when they made the appoint
ment
Joseph Chamberlain, Secretary of State
for the Colonies replying to question on
the subject, said that as far as the Trans
vaal was concerned he had nothing to add

In the course of a speech on the situa-
ton in Sierra Leone, Mr.. Chamberlain
complimented the work of the mission
aries there, especially the Americans, who
he said were extremely practical men and
always sought to confer direct benefits on
the people
While the Secretary for the Colonies
dered by Sir David Patrick Chalmers,
British Royal Commissioner to inquire
into the affairs of Sierra Leone last year,
and expressing his regret that the com
missioner had contracted serious dis
ease while in the discharge of his duties,
a colleague whispered a communication TO
him.
Mr. Chamberlain Immediately an
nounced that he had been greatly shocked
on learning that Sir David Patrick Chal-
mers died last Saturday.

GUNBOAT NAPlDAN
SHELLS PAETE

MANILA, Aug. 2 via Hongkong) The
gunboat Napdan last week shelled Paete
on the lake near Santa Cruz. The town
was full of people who had been en-
couraged to return after General Law
tons expedition, having been assured that
they would not be molested if they peace
ably attended to their business.
Lieutenant Copp, who was in command
of the Napidan, heard that the in
surgents had reoccupied the town and
steaming close in opened fire with his
six-pounderS without warning.
The people, seeing the boat approaching,
fled to the hills in a terrified condition and
with barely time to. escape. One child
was killed and many buildings were dam
aged. The authorities express great re-
greet on account of the incident.
After the taking of Calamba by the
Americans General Lawton ordered that
Captain Otis of the Washington regiment
be relieved of his command and placed
under arrest on account of slowness and
seeming reluctance of the companies I'M
der his command in obeying the order to
disembarked from the cascOes and wade
through the marshes under fire. The men
say that a majority of them have been
sick and unfit for duty and were given
to understand that they wouldn't be
asked to do any more fighting.
