vorable for picking and as it pro-
crosses more evidence of the
shortage in the cotton yield ap
pears.
In Louisiana cotton was not
injured to any great extent by
the storm, as the very high
winds and excessive rains did
not extend over the portions of
the State where that staple is
the principal crop. On the con-
trary, as before stated, drough
ty conditions prevail over north
ern Louisiana and rain is need
ed in many localities in the cen
tral parishes. The oldest cotton
has stopped growing and is
shedding and drying up, but
young cotton is still making
fruit and reports indicate that a
better feeling exists regarding
the final output. Cotton pick
ing is in rapid progress.
In Tennessee cotton is open-
ing fast and picking is now in
full progress the crop promises
to be quite short.
In Texas fair and favorable
weather now prevails, but cot
ton was badly damaged by the
tropical storm during the 9th
and 9th. The crop was COM
pletely destroyed in the path of
the storm in the south portion
and it was damaged in the CEN
trail and north portions. The
plants were blown down much
cotton blown out reducing the
quantity and staining and other
wise damaging the staple. Out
side of the storm area cotton is
doing very we'll, except that
worms and other pests are
doing damage in some localities.
Picking is being rushed but the
labor is scarce in some localities
In Arkansas cotton is opening
rapidly under the influence of
the hot and dry weather which,
however, has now given way to
more favorable conditions, and
the greater part of the crop is
open in some localities. Pick
ing is progressing favorably in
some localities, while in others
it is being delayed by a scarcity
of pickers.
In Oklahoma and Indian Ter
ritory the cotton picking pro-
gressed under favorable con-
ditiOns, and the crop is being
generally marketed; it has
opened up rapidly; yields con-
tinue fairly good.
In Missouri cotton in the
southeastern counties is opening
rapidly and picking is progress
ing well.

A Sensational Trial.

Wrightsville, Ga. Sept. 21.-
Jerry Walden, young white man,
was this morning convicted of the
murder of George Dixon and sen
fenced to life i'm prisonment. Mrs.
Dixon, wife of the deceased and
paramOur Of Walden, who was to
have been put on trial today as
a priL cipal in the same crime,
made sensational escape from
custOday between midnight and
daylight this morning. She was
in the charge Of Sheriff Rowland.
who locked her in a room on the
top floor Of the court house.
There was only one kew to the
door of the room and that KEY
was in the sheriff7s pocket. Upon
locking her in, shortly before
midnight, the sheriff sat down in
a chair in front of the door. He
fell asleep, according to his story,
and when he awoke the woman
was gone but the key was still
in his pocket. When the matter
was reported to the court the
judge ordered the grand jury to
make a rigid investigation of the
escape. A man named Hison,
a brother in-law of Mrs. Dixon, is
known to have been there or
about the top floor of the court
house with whiskey during the
night. A report was current dur
ing the forenoon that Mrs. Dixon
had been caught and lynched.
This was not correct. She was re.
captured at the house of her
brother in-law and returned to
Jail. Her trial will come up TO-
morrow.

CONDITIONS OF CROP
INTHE COTTON BELT.
Being Rapidly Picked Out and
Being fastened to the Market.
Texas Situation an Unknown
Quantity.

There is little change to be
noted in the condition of cotton
in the fields, except that reports
agree as to the unusual rapidity
with which it is opening, being
picked and marketed. The ex,
tent of damage to cotton by the
Texas storm has not been def
nitely ascertained, nor is it like
ly that it will be as long as the
impression can be fostered that
it was enough to reduce the yield
in that state by hundreds of
thousands of bales.
Insects continue to damage
the crop in Louisiana and Texas.
A fair summary of the yield is
that the Atlantic States are very
short; the Gulf States will make
nearly average crops, while west
of the Mississippi the indicated
are the best ever known except
for Arkansas which will make
less than an average crop.
In North Carolina many cor
respondents say that cotton is
three fourths open, some that all
is open. and as picking is pro
crossing rapidly everywhere, the
entire crop will be gathered by
the end of October, if not earlier.
In South Carolina cotton con
tinues to open rapidly, and near
ly all is now open, but the rains
will tend to check premature
opening, and to increase the size
of immature bolis. In places the
plants are again blooming, and
some report a small top crop,
but generally the top crop is un-
promising. The weather favored
rapid picking, and about half the
crop is gathered. The rains
damaged open cotton slightly.
Correspondents estimate the
yield this year at about half an
average crop. Sea island shows
slight improvement, but is bloom
ing to the top and the plants are
dwarfed.
In Georgia the protracted
drought was broken on the 18th
and 18th by general, and in most
cases heavy rains, which came
too late to be of benefit to cotton
or corn, both Of which are too far
advanced to be improved. Cotton,
which is mostly open in the mid.
die and southern counties, has
been damaged considerably in
some sections. Most of the week
picking progressed uninterrupt
edly and large quantities of the
staple were picked and marketed.
There are some complaints Of
boil worms. In the middle and
southern divisions about all the
cotton is picked.
In Florida showers retarded
COTTON picking, haylng, and har-
vesting corn, particularly in
western counties. The yield of
cotton shows no favorable change,
and the crop will be short as
previously indicated.
In Alabama excessive rains in
the southern, central and north
central portions damaged cotton
very much. The bulk of the cot
ton is open and about one half
of it has been picked. The crop
is being marketed rapidly. Pre-
vious estimates of light yields
are confirmed as picking pro.
crosses.
In Mississippi there has been
no provement in the condition
Of cotton. Rust and boil worms
are still doing considerable dam.

cotton is nearly all open and the
