There was long campaign before Con-

The Texas Cotton Crop.

Mr.. Hsrvie Jordan, of Macon, Ga,
President Of the Southern Cotton
Growers Association, has just returned
from trip to Texas where he made q
tour of that State in the interest of the
association. With regard to the Or
gsnisation there he said that it was
moro thorough than in any other State
with the exception of Georgis. Every
county has its organizer and the State
is being flooded with literature calling
on the farmers to organize for protec-
tion. Mr.. Jordan travelled all over
Texas and says that the cotton crop
cannot possibly be as large there as it
was last year, notwithstanding the fact
Of increased acreage. For the most
part this increased acreage is repre-
sented By cotton planted on grain land
after the grain had been cut off and the
cotton will not amount to anything.
He said he talked to business men in
all the principal cities and the uuivsr-
sal opinion was that the cotton crop
would be less than last year. When
asked about corn he said that there
would be about q third of crop.
Texas is we'll adapted for any plant
with tap root in case Of dry weather.

A dispatch from Pittsburg, Pa, un-

csst. The battle Of the giants is on in
earnest, whether to ignominious de-
feat of one side or the other, or COM
promise, remains to be seen. Up to
Tuesday evening it was merely skirm-
Ish, each side trying to find the vul-

it is different, brought about by the
actual assurance by President Shaffer
OF the long talked of general strike or
der. This order was promulgated
Tuesday evening 10 take effsct after
the last turn of the mills on August
10th. What the result will be no man
can fortell, but Judging by the ex.
pressed determination Of both par.
ties to the controversy tho battle will
be waged fast and furiously. Much
money will be lost, thousands upon
thousands Of men will be idle, great
suffering ia looked for, even bloodshed
aud death are possible and feared.

The text of the call follows:

"You will be told that you signed

A Brave Girl.

Wneu burglar attempted to enter
the residence of W. q. Huttleston, 294
East avenue, Atlantis, Tuesday night.
he was met by a very courageous young
lady with pistol "a her hand. Mr..
Huttleston and his wife oft home to
spend the evening with friends and
their daughter, Miss Carrie, remsined
at home with her grandmother. About
9 o'clock the young lady discovered
that burglar was trying to break into
the house through 8 rear window that
had been left open. She quietly got
her pistol and slipped into the yard by
going around the side OF the house. For
young woman to attempt in this way
TO head of a burglar, and she at homo
and unprotected, was about as brave 4
deed as lady might we'll perform.
Miss Carrie did it, ard when she saw
the burglar dart away in the darkness
she deliberately fl red two shots at him.
The burglar ran around the house and
Miss Carrie again headed him off and
fred two more shots. The only reason
she missed him WAS because it was too
dark for her to get good aim, and the
burglar kept on the run.
