Editor The Manning Times:

Editor The Manning Times:
Will you please publish in your paper
this week the following:
Houston, Texas Sept, 27:- The Post
tomorrow will publish report showing
that great damage has been done to
cotton over the State by the boil weevil
the boil worm, the sharp shooter and
dry weather. The estimate OF the
probable crop, based on the reports
from country correspondents are placed
at 2, 100000, provided there is a late
frost. The popular estimate six weeks
ago was 5000, 600 bales, the reports OF
insect damage come from 80 counties.
about a dozen counties report good
crop prospect, but these reports are
mostly from producers. 1t is stated
that there is absolutely no chance for a
top or second crop.
How is that report to be compared
with a drop of one cent a pound or
more in the last week. Farmers, don't
sell your cotton for less than 10 cents a
pound for while yet,if you can help 1t.
Georgia and Alabama reports loss OF
at least million bales in the last six
weeks, and in our own state we can't
make over so per cent of crop. II we
would hold off for while we believe
we will yet get 10cents per pound TOR
our crop. Attend your township club
ann get the truths about our condition.
Stand together and see if we can't bet
ter our condition.

the prisoner, Representative H Spann
Dowling of Bamberg, who roomed next
to Tillman at the Caldwell, was IN ms
room that morning and with him during
the day As soon as he heaTo OF Lne
tragedy he went TO the jail ana eA-
pressed his regrets that his frleno was
in trouble. Then at his request ne went
to ascertain the condition OF the man
living so sorely stricken, ana returning
with his report was told oy human:
IF I hit him where I aimed, ne IS sure
. dead man. The ball I used won't
chance it's course" In connection
With this, remember Senator Talbird's S
testimony as follows:
@. Do you know or not, did Mr..
Tillman ever sa:i why he did not shoot
again? a. Well, sir, about that he
gave two reasons when [ went around
to the Jail. One was, he said that ne
did not shoot again because he was
afraid of hitting me: the other was
that when threw up my hands and
said, This thing must stop he did not
shoot again"
The other picture is about the same
time as this. The wounded man is be
ing carried to the hospital in an ambu.
lance: he is accompanied by none OF
his family nor his friends only a physl-
clan who knew him but slightly. 1t IS
DR.. Jas. H. Mcintosh who portrayS
this scene:
20. On the way did he ask you any
questions about his condition? a. Yes,
sir: on the way to the hospital ne
looked around the ambulance and saw
there was no one else in it, and ne SAID
to me: doctor, want you to tell me
frankly whether am mortally wounded
or not" Ireplied to him: Yes, Mr..
Gonzales, I am afraid you are mortally
wounded, and he simply said: Yes, |
think the fellow got me, and with that
he covered up his face"
1t was after this knowledge that he
was on the border of eternity, after
these moments of undisturbed reaec-
ton as he looked death in the face, that
he gave his second account OF the shoot
ing to such men as DR.. J. W. Babcock
and August Koln. Prepared to meet
his God, he said he had sent his slayer
no message, that so far as he was con-
cerned It was all ended FIVE months be-
fore.
This in the main is the case against
J. II. Tillman.

Macedonia. tse world will witness the
beginning of massacres. burnings and
destruction. compared with which the
Turkish atrocities will seem chili's
play. The banner of revolution. my
informant says. will be unfurled in
all the border districts. Every city
and village. whether the inhabitants
nre friends or foe, will be destroyed
and such a state OF anarchy will be
caused that the Turks will step out
voluntarily and leave the country to
the Macedonian survivors. We have
selected the frontier districts for these
final operations. SO that Europe may
