school Notes.

Teachers from the different parts Of
the county met at Granada last Satur-
day in their regular monthly meeting.
The topics chosen for discussion were
taken from Sully's Psychology, the text
adopted by the teachers OF the county
for the present years reading course.
Papers were read by Miss Angenette
Bower, Leslie Milford and ]. F. Keairns.
The treatment of each topic by the reg
uiarly assigned papers was followed by
a thorough general discussion.
A fair audience was present at the de-
bate in the evening. Two speakers on
the negative being absent, Messrs. Craw-
ford and Barnes were selected to present
argument on that side. Much interest
was manifested in the subject, and as a
result the matter OF revising the school
law which is now before the state legis-
lature has been brought before the
minds of some OF our citizens.

Dry W Gather Hurts '0tt0n.


Guthrie, D. T., Aug. 30.-From nearly
every section of the cotton-producing re-
glons of Oklahoma come reports of con-
tinued hot and dry weather which Is
threatening serious damage to the cotton
crop. late fruits and pastures. The same
condition of drouth and damage exist
throughout TITO Indian territory and
Texas in an accumulated degree, and the
cotton yield Is not likely to be more than
a fourth or a third OF the average. The
United States weather and crop observer
at Oklahoma City makes the following
report of conditions for the week ending
August q:
Heavy rains occurred on the 18th
in Garfield. Noble. Pawnee, Logan and
Oklahoma counties, and in parts of the
Cherokee Nation. Elsewhere the drouth
continues unbroken. Hot winds in the
west and south have been of frequent oc-
currence. The average temperature of
the week, $40 degrees, is degrees above
the normal. The irouth is so serious
throughout the cotton-growing sections of
the two territories that the crop is in
jured from two-thirCs to three-fourthsI
not a favorable report has been received.
Tho plants are still shedding squares and
bolls, some bolls are opening prematurely
and the fibre is OF inferior quality. Pick
ing has become general, and the yield is
light. Over the counties where the rains
were heavy, blowing has been resumed,
and the vegetation has revived. Late ap-
pies have been damaged by the dry
weather, and the crop will not be so large
or as fine as twas formerly anticipated.
There was much complaint Of the fruit
either rotting or drying on the trees. The
early varieties, however, are fine and the
yield is excellent. Threshing continues.
Kaffir corn and peanuts do not appear
20 be seriously affected by the drourh.
Canteloupes and watermelons are very
fine, the crop is large and the quality |
and flavor have been improved by the
dry weather. Late potatoes are badly IN |

several days looking after his mining IN
terests AT Wichita he expects to meet
Grimes, chairman of the Republican terri
tortal central committee, for conference
relating to political developments In the
territory since Faynn's sensational speech
at Jefferson. 1t became known here as
early sSunday last that Flynn had
prepared a letter for publication in The
Eagle in which letter he followed I'D the
lines laid down in his jefferson speech,
and including Frank Greer, editor OF the
State Capital. in his denunciation. The
letter was read to different persons and
the reason that It has not already an
peared in print Is because of a etlegram
from Mr.. Grimes in which he requested
Mr.. Flynn to delay the publication Of the
letter. the existence OF which he had
learned, until conference was had. The
telegram was received yesterday evening
and Flynn is curious to know who should
have taken the trouble to send word about

effect that Flynn and Secretary Jenkins

tore 10 the letter he had prepared for
publication and threw the pieces into the
waste basket. Flynn and Frank Greer
had wordy roundup yesterday. The
controversy was as to tte relative worth
OF each others services, and arose over
the famous editorial assertion OF Greer
that Flynn owed the State Capital $4,000
for political advertising.
