THE COTTON cRoP.
Condition Lowest Ever Known With
 One Exception.

One Exception.
 Washington, July 3.-The monthly report of the Statistician of the De- partment of Agriculture will show the average condition of cotton on June 23rd to have been s1.1 as compared with s1.5 on the goth of the preced- ing month; 75.S on July 1, 1900; s7.s at the corresponding date in 1899: a ten year average of ss.s and a fifteen year average of S7.5. A condition of Sl.1 Is. with the exception of the July condi- ton reporte dlast year, the lowest rec ord in the condition exported at this season.
 The condition in the principal States is recorded as follows: North Caro- ina. 77; South Carolina, 70: Georgia 72; Florida, 7s; Alabama, SO; Missis- Arkansas. S4; Tenpessee, S6; Okla homa. 91; Indian Territory, sS.
 There was an improvement during June of 2 points in Texas: 3 points in Arkansas. Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory, 4 in Alabama. Mississippi and Louisiana and in Tennessee. On the other hand there was . decline of points In Georgia and Florida and 10 points in North Carolina and South Carolina.
 With the exception of Mississippi, where the reported average condition is 1 point above the mean of aver- ages reported on July 1, in that State, for the last ten years, and in Okla homa. where the figures available for comparison cover only six years, the condition throughout the entire cotton belt compared favorably with the ten- year averages, Texas and Tennessee being 1, Louisiana 8. Arkansas 4, Ala bama 6. Florida North Carolina 10. Georgia 13 and South Carolina IT points below their respective ten-year averages.
 Not only was the condition on June 25 the lowest condition recorded with the exception of last yeer for the cot- ton region as a whole at this season, but in Georgia and in South Carolina 1t was the lowest during the entire period of thirty-five years for which records are available. while in North Carolina 1t was the lowest with one exception during the same period.
 Excessive rains. followed by a heavy growth of ASS and weeds. have caused mucA damage in Alabama. Georgia. South Carolina and North Carolina. while in Louisiana and Texas the growth has been retarded by drought. The activity of the situation is greatly increased in North and South Carolina and Georgia, and 10 some ex- tent in other States, by a scarcity of labor.

 Robert White and his brother Win ston were tenants on the farm of MT. Goodwin. who lives about four miles from Tallassee. Their cabins were near truck farm owned by a MT. Thomas PThe fowls of the two negroes annoyed MT. Thomas by destroying his vege- tables. He told the negroes that if the fowls were not kept off his premises he would kill them. The chickens and guineas were not cooped up. and Thomas procured a shot gun and pro- ceded to slay all of them on his prem ises.
 This created bad feeling. and Monday night the negroes, heavily armed, a.- tackled Thomas, firing six shots at him.

 Winston White in the arm.

THE POLITICAL OUTLOOK.


The annual election is near and the
outlook in the State and county from
Republican view is most encouraging
and gratifying We are in the heat OF
the csmpaign which is being bravely
and manly fought throughout the Com
monwealth Of Maryland by the Repub-
licans who favor economy of State
affairs and the enactment Of laws for
the peoples good.
Notwithstanding the most strenuous
efforts of the Democratic machine to get
out full registration of voters this
year. 10 the accomplishment of which
use was made Of the information collect
ed BY the State census enumerators at
a heavy expense to the people, the
total Of names placed upon the regis
tration books falls short Of their ex-
