there was a decline Of 10 points in Mis-
souri,, Is in Arkansas and Tennessee,

The impairment in condition is
largely due to drought, but in a portion
OF the eastern section of the cotton belt
it is attributable to the prevalence of
excessive rain during a large part OF

A FILIPINO PROCLAMATION
Malvar Declares His Intention OF
Continuing the War

Manila, August 5.-Miguel Malvar,
who has been recognized as the success
or of Aguinaldo by the PHILIPPINE junta
at Hong Kong. has issued a proclama-
ton, dated July 18th, copies Of which
arrived here this morning, giving as
surances to the natives of the continu-
alton Of an active campaign and eX-
pressing hope for it's successful issue.
The proclamation, of which $4,000 cop
les have been printed, purports to en-
anate from Batangas.
1t is a characteristic inSurgent docu-
ment, charging the Americans with all
sorts Of atrocities. 1t %recountS the
losses of guns and ammunition and the
death of four distinguished American
officers, July 10th, all Of which, it says,
h authorities concealed.
The proclamation threatens General
Cables with death for treachery and
warns all PHILIPPINES who surrender
that they will never be able to live out
side the American lines.
Malvar claims he has sufficient arms
and supplies to continue the fighting
indefinitely.
The American officials believe the
proclamation was really written by
Agoncillo (the former representative OF
Aguinaldo in Europe) at Hong Kong,
and that he, probably, has never seen
Malvar. Strong efforts are being made
by the police to prevent the diStribu-
ton Of the proclamation.

a Negro Killed by a Young Man OF
Homicide Is Defense of His Father.


Correspondence OF The Messenger.)
Wilson, n. c., AugustI5 8.
News reached Wilson early Sunday
morning that a negro had been killed
about five miles from town Sheriff
Sharpe and Coroner Ruffin went al
once to the scene of the shooting. They
found Reuben White, a desperate negro
a been killed early Sunday morning
by Henry Langley, the son of q well
to do farmer of Wilson county.
A jury was at once empaneIed and
the killing was investigated.
1t appears from the evidence that OIL
Saturday night Reuben White was
bitten by a dog owned by William
Langley. White vas drunk and after
he a been bitten made some threats
about killing the dog and its owner
There was a quarrel between White
and Langley It his time, but without
serious results.
On Sunday morning the two men
met again lee Langley's home, when
the quarrel was resumed. White CALI
ed Langley a liar, when the latter
struck him with a piece of fence rail.
White then drew his knife n was try
ing to use it when young Henry Lang
ley came out of the house and seeing
his fathers danger drew his pistol and
shot the negro.
Both father and son claim that the
shooting was don by the father and in
self defense. 1t appears that this is
done in order hat the plea of self de-
Tense will be more plausible.
This claim is c~ontradicted by every
witness examined. All give evidence
HI the killing was done by young
Langley. After a careful considera-
ton of all the evidence the coroner's
jury rendered a verdict that White
came to his death by a gun-<hot wound,
the pistol being in the hands of the son,
Henry Langley. Acting upon this YER
dict. Sheriff Sharpe put the young man
under arrest and brought him to Will
son where he was put in Jail. 81
The negro population is incensed i've
the killing and if a leader shows up
more trouble will probably result.
