hicd them away to the wheat stacks
OF jacob and began picking the weeds
therefrom. Now when Jacob heard
of this he was exceedingly wroth, and
swore by the great horn-spoon and the
beard Of the prophet that he would
wipe Isaac from off the face Of the
earth. Then gathering his muscles to-
gether, for he was mighty man, he
went in great haste to Isaac, and chal-
lcnged him to mortal coq1bat. But
Isaac being just and good man, and
having great respect for Jacob, upon
whose head the SHOWS Of many winters
have descended, took to his heels, aud
departed for his cwn laad, where he

LAST Friday afternoon this nation.
and in fact the whole civilized world,
was Mortified by the news that an at
tempt has been made to assasstnate
William Mckinley, president of the
United States, while holding recep-
tion in. the temple of Music at the
Pan-American exposition at Buffalo,
N. Y. The would-be assassin is Leon
Czolgosz, an avowed disciple Of En-
ma Goldman. Never was there an
attack more ruproyoked, or more
criminal. 1t seems almost impossible
to believe that anyone In human form
could be guilty Of such dastardly
deed. William Mckinley, one of the
grandest, noblest, most beloved and
honored Of our presidents, was stricken
down by the hand OF the assassin,
while in best Of health, surrounded by
loyal friends and in the midst of ma
tional peace and prosperity-stricken
in the very act Of extending the band
of friendship to the coward, who,
Judas.like, with one hand &rasped the
hand extended to him, while, with the
revolver held in the other hand, he
fred the bullets which he hoped
would be the messengers of death.
1t is not only our beloved president
who is stricken-the heart of every
loyal American is wounded to the
core. That such a man, whose life as a
citizen, soldier, congressman, and as
chief executive of the United States
has always been devoted to the better
ment Of humanity ana the perpetua-
tion Of free government, should, OF
all others, be chosen as the target
for the bullet Of the assassin shows
us that no public man, no community,
no government, however free, is ex-
empt from the maljgnity Of the
human vipers whose ayowed purpose
is to overthrow all forms of organized
government, and trample under foot
every ivine impulse.
That something must be done to
crush the spirit Of anarchy that seems
to be gaining such . foothold in this
country, is very evident, or all organ
lied government must perish.
The latest report Of the preside nt's
condition is that he will recover. May
He, who rules over the destinies of ma
tions, foil the attempt OF the assassin
and may our beloved president soon
be restored to health and be permitted
to finish the rule SO wisely begun, over
y people who love him so we'll.

better than the county exhibits OF

COTTON CROP REPORT.
Average Condition 77.2 as Compared with
s1.1 for Previous Month.

Average Condition 77.2 as Compared with
S1.1 for Previous Month.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 5.-The monthly
report of the statistican of the de-
partment of agriculture shows the
average condition of cotton on July %,
to have been 77.2 as compared with
S1.1 on the 25th of the preceding
month, rs on August 1, 1900, "a on
August l, 1899, and ten-year average
of "a.
There was an improvement of condi-
tions during July amounting to
points in Georgia; points in South
Carolina, 2 in Alabama and Mississ-
ippi, and 8 in Virginia. On the other
hand there was decline of 10 points
in Missouri, 10 in Arkansas and Ten
nessee, 13 in Oklahoma and Indian
Territory, IL in Texas. in Florida, 4
in North Carolina and 2 in Louisiana.
The impairment in condition Is
largely due to drouth, but in a por-
tion of the eastern section of the cot
ton belt it is attributable to the prev
alence of excessive rain during a
large part of the month. While the
condition of Mississippi is points
above the States ten-years' average,
every other State reports a condition
below such average, Virginia being l.,
Louisiana 2. Alabama 8, Texas 7, Geor-
gia 8, South Carolina and Florida g.,
North Carolina IL, Arkansas, Tennes-
see and Missouri 16 points below their
respective ten-year averages.
The average of condition in the diff
ferent States are reported as fol-
lows:

Carolina 75, Georgia rs, Florida 79,
Alabama so. Mississippi SO, Louisiana
