THE TEXAS COTTON CROP.

The condition Of the Texas cotton
crop, as indicated by the exhaustive
reports published in Tuesdays Post,
is by no means encouraging.
: In practically every part of the state,
except in the Northwestern section,
some material drawback is in evidence.
In one place it is dry weather, in an
other excessive rains. One section is
harrassed by the boil weeyll while in
another it is the work of the boil
worm which is responsible for the bad
condition of the crop. In some places
there is a combination, as in South
and Central Texas, where the weeyil
and the usual rains have both helped
to make the situation gloomy.
A month ago reports from different
sections of the State seemed to indi
cate that the weevil was doing only a
comparatively small amount of dam
age, and that some counties which had
formerly been invaded were complete.
ly free from the pest. At the time
these reports were made the Post COM
mented on them and said, among other
things, that the chances were against
continuation of the seemingly favor
able conditions which existed then.
And, unfortunately, that assertion
now appears to have been verified.
The turn for the worse seems to
have occurred within the past two
weeks or so. The unusual lateness OF
the crop made it impossible to accur-
ately calculate on conditions before
this time, but now that the facts are
before us, we can do no more than &C.

even when an average between the two

On the whole, there seems to be NJ
reason to believe that the Texas crol

Set Fire to Mans Home In North Car

Raleigh, N. c., Sept. 3.-Moonshin-
ers have not lost their daring and their
rsvengefulness in this state.
In Durham county they suspected
that William Kimbell was Informing
revenue officers of the location of their
stills.
A number of them and their friends
went to Kimbells house and fired
many shots into the sides of the build
ng. Nhen they found Kimben was
not at home, they broke in the door
and partially wrecked the interior.
Finally one of them went on the roof
with can of kerosene oil and attempt
ed to set the house on fire. All theh
left, leaving the roof ablaze, but luck
lily, Mrs. Kimbell went on the roof anG
extinguished the fire.
This affair has caused intense feel
ing against the moonshiners and the
citizens will aid the local and federal
authorities in running down the moon
sinners. Some of the latter have
made all sorts Of threats against any
people who dare to interfere with them
In any way.
All this plays into the hands of the
anti-saloon league, which is working
so hard to drive out the moonshiners
as well as the licensed distillers.
