TOOK CARBOLIC ACID
Charles May of Selma in Serious Con-
dition from Taking Drug

Selma, August 22.-(Special.) -Charles
death at his home on Selma street from
the effect of having swallowed a quantity
of carbolic acid.
Since Sunday morning Mr.. May had been
missing from his home and it was thought
he had gone on an excursion to Birming-
ham. Yesterday inquiries were made for
him but he could not be found AT about
2 o'clock this morning his wife heard some
one grooming and moving around on the
front porch and on getting a lamp and
going out saw that it was Mr.. May, lying
on the floor in an unconcious condition.
Near him lay an empty bottle which had
contained carbolc acid.
An alarm was quickly given and help
secured, while a physician was sent for.
DR.. Harper soon arrived and administered
all the antidotes used in such cases. The
unfortunate man writhed and moaned but
was unconscious up to 1 O'Clock today.
The physicians say he is in very bad
fix, but that he has a chance.
Mr. May has been acting queerly during
the last few days, according to the account
of his friends, and it is thought the in
tense heat of the past few days has affect
ed his mind. He had no domestic troubles
or business troubles that were known to
anybody and the only theory that can pos
sibly be given for the deed is as stated
above, temporary arrangement caused
by the excessive heat while following his
vocation.

CROP STATEMENT
Rust and Shedding Prevalent in the
Cotton Region

Washington, August 22.-Following is the
weather bureaus weekly summary of the
crop conditions:
While there has been an entire absence
of rain over a large part of the country
east of the Rocky Mountains and droughty
conditions are quite extensively reported
in New England, Ohio and lower Missouri
valleys and west gulf states, very heavy
rains have fallen in the Red river of the
North valley on the Virginia and North
Carolina coast and over portions of the
Central gulf states.
The report from Cuba indicates that the
week has been generally very dry and that
crops are suffering seriously over the great
er part of the island. In the principal
Middle states the seasonable temperature
and general absence of rain have been ia
vorable for advancing the maturity of
corn, the general condition of which is
very satisfactory, although late corn now
needs rain in portions of the Ohio and Mis-
needs rain in portions of the Ohio and Mis-
sissippi valley, in Oklahoma and in some
parts of Kansas and Nebraska Cutting of
gun in Oklahoma.
the cotton belt the condition of cotton con-
tinues practically the same as at the close
of the previous week, rust and shedding
being prevalent. All reports show that cot
ton is opening rapidly, picking being in
progress in the extreme northern districts.
In eastern North Carolina the crop was
damaged by the high winds attending the
late hurricane. Drought Is proving very
damaging to the crop In Oklahoma and
Texas, but the weather conditions have
been very favorable for picking, and while
an average yield is not expected in Texas
the quality of the staple is good.
In Ohio tobacco is suffering from drought,
but in other tobacco states the general out
look continues favorable. Some damage
have been caused by the high winds in
North Carolina and moist weather has been
unfavorable for curing in Maryland.

THE DEATH LIST
REACHES 1000
Additional Details of Porto Rico'S
Condition Received.
THE HUNGER WILL INCREASE
The Transport Mcpherson Unloaded
and the Supplies Being Distri-
... buted-Fear of Yellow Fever
Breaking Out

Washington, August PA cable dispatch
has been received at the war department
from General Davis giving additional de-
tails of the conditions in Porto Rico. He
places the number OF Killed at 600, and re-
iterates his statement of 100000 destitute.
General Davis says:
"Rations from Neuvitas may be unloaded
in quarantine, but it seems to me supplies
can easier come from the states, the fear
of yellow fever from Cuba making extra
precautions necessary. Press reports that
Porto Ricans refused to discharge relief
supplies without double pay are untrue.
Mcpherson arrived Saturday afternoon
and unloading proceeded Sunday morning.
Soldiers, Porto Rican battalion, volun-
teered to take the place of the stevedores,
but the men returned to work when they
learned the nature of supplies on board
and unloading was completed by them.
Cargo of Mcpherson has been forwarded
to distributing centers and part was is
sued yesterday evening. In a few limited
areas the coffee is all safe; in remaining
and trees so injured that next years crop
will not exceed so per cent average. Ba-
nanas furnished one-half the food and
sweet potatoes supplied the other half to
SO per cent. of the inhabitants. All the
bananas, beans, rice and corn are de-
stroyed and half the potatoes. I now esti-
mate over 1000 dead and 100000 hungry,
one-half of this number being homeless.
Hunger will increase rather than diminish
for many weeks"
