GENERAL CROP SUMMARY
For Week Ending June D, Showing
General Improvement
IN All Crops.

The mean daily temperature aver
aged between 8 degrees and degrees
below normal. The rainfall was quite
local in character; moderate showers
were general i'll the southern portion
of the state and in few of the north
central counties, the heaviest weekly
rainfall being "a inches at Green
wood, but over the greater portion OF
the state good rain is much needed.
Under more favorable weather con-
ditions cotton has generally improved
somewhat, but it is very small for
this date and is making a slow
growth. In the lower delta counties
the ground continues dry and much
of the replanted cotton has not come
up to satisfactory stands, while il
the southern counties the plants have
a good color and are growing nicely
The staple is generally we'll cultivated
and squares are beginning to form OF
the early planted. Complaints O
damage by lice are diminishing. A
rule, corn continues to do we'll
but in some localities the early plant
ed is beginning to show the i'll effect
of dry weather. The planting Of pea
continues Dat harvest is in pro
gress in the northern counties, tn
yield ranging from poor to fairl
good. Sugar cane is doing we'll an
melons are promising. Irish potatoe
continue to yield we'll, Gardens an
pastures are needing more moisture.

II shot him five times, once while
he was standing, three times while
he was falling, and once while he
was on the ground.
This is the explanation made by r.
0. Adams, the slayer of Bobbie Sui
livan, who was killed as he stepped
from Gulf and Ship Island train at
Bunker Hill last Saturday afternoon.
The story is replete with human in
terest, and it will go down in crimi-
nal annals as one of the most notable
in the annals of Sullivan's Hol-
low killings.
Adams is mere youth, not yet
twenty years of age. He is handsome
of face, attractive in manner, and
tells the story of the killing with re-
markable GOODNESS and unconcern.
The boy was brought to Jackson
last night by two Smith county deputy
sheriffs to escape the vengeance of
the Sullivan family. The clan was
gathering for the purpose of lynch
ing the slayer of one of their klth
and kin, and the officers left with
their prisoner barely in time to
escape the mob.
Adams relates the stroy of the kill
ing in a very graphic manner. He
candidly confesses to all the details,
claiming that the deed was committed
in self-defense. His story is substan-
TALLY as follows:
"When I went to Bunker Hill tC
work in mill l met young lady
named Beulah King, to whom Bobble
Sullivan had been paying attentions,
and became quite friendly with her
About two weeks ago friend told me
that Bobbie Sullivan had threatened
to kill me if walked home with the
girl that night. He had made the
threat in the presence of the girl, but
she did not tell me, and l went home
with her. A few days later | Wen
