General Summary For the week En0lhs
Monday, May lst.
During the first five days OF
the week temperatures were
considerably above normal, but
unusually cool weather prevailed
the last two days. A very heavy
rain and windstorm occurred
over the southern and middle
of the State on the night OF the
24th-25th and moderate to heavy
rains were general during the
latter part of the week.
The continued wet weather
has been unfavorable for farm
ing operations which are much
behind. The soil has not been IN
good condition for blowing for
several weeks, and thus far this
season it has been almost impos-
sible to pillow many lowlands ow-
ing to excessive moisture
AS a rule, cotton planting is
now we'll advanced south, but
over the middle and northern
portions of the state only about
half the crop has been planted
while in many counties a large
part of the cotton land remains
unbroken. Cotton that has been
planted is generally coming up
nicely.
Early planted corn is generally
growing well and in many local
tiles is beginning to need work.
The excessive rainfall has caused
some fields of corn to turn yellow.
Much corn land has not yet been
planted.
Minor crops consisting of oats,
sugar cane, alfalfa, Irish pota-
toes, and garden truck are doing
we'll. The wind storm on the 25th
damaged fruit in some middle
counties, but over the greater
portion of the state the outlook
for fruit is good. Pastures are
in good condition.

UNION VETERAN
DIES At cORDElE
Major Murray Buried
by Confederate Vet
Grams Yesterday.

Cordele, Ga, Oct. 21.-Major
Murray, white, aged 80 years,
who came to Cordele fifteen years
ago when the city was but two
years Of age, died and was buried
yesterday afternoon. Major
Murray was carpenter and had
been member of the Grand
Army of the Republic ever since
it's organization, serving with
distinction throughout the late
war on the Union side. 1t is
worth noticing that he was buried
in Sunny Side cemetery here by
the local Confederate Veterans,
whom he fought as a Union
soldier many years ago. The
funeral was impressive and was
conducted by J. M. Lovett pastor
of the Methodist church. Mr..
Murray had been in i'll health for
a long time and many acts of
kindness by Confederate vete-
rams made the last hours of his
illness easier for the old soldier.

Silver Ousrtz Near Sing Sing.

Ossining, N. Y, Sept. 23.-Silver
quartz was found Friday near Sing
Sing prison In rock which was blasted
by electric railroad contractors. The
quartz was obtained near the site Of an
abandoned silver mine which was
worked by the English before the
Revolutionary war. At the beginning
of the war the miners, most Of whom
were English. were driven away and
never returned to work the mine again.
In 1920 and again in 1857 Attempts were
made to pump out and operate the old
mine but the quantity Of silver OBJ
tanned was teo small to be profitable
and these attempts we're abandoned.

Topeka, Sept. 22.-Active work has
begun for the formation Of q big po-
litical organization In the state, the
object of which will be the enforce
ment Of the prohibitory law. The pre-
liminary work is under the direction
of w. L. Dexter, formerly secretary

Dexter has written letters to 200 min
listers and church workers In various
parts of the state asking them about
conditions in their counties and for
their opinions on the subject OF the
benefit to be derived from the new or
ganization.
1--WE will pay less attention" said
Mr.. Dexter, in discussing the new
movement, "to the state officers than
we will to the officers of the counties.
It is the county attorneys and the
sheriffs who will receive our atten-
ton. We will try to put into each OF
these Offices in every county In the
state men who are not In league with
the violators of the prohibitory law.
Il is our intention to organize the
Christian and moral people in every
county and to see that they give more
attention to politics. When we make
them understand that they must Dust
from Office tricky county attorneys
and sheriffs who allow open violations
of the law, we will have our BATTLE
half won."

The Erie Railroad has arranged for the
immediate expenditure of So, WO for The
installation OF the most modern and Ell
ticient railway signal that has yet been
put on the market. 1t is known as the
Hall Electric Semaphore Normal Clear
System, and is operated by stationary stor-
age batteries. Tie line between Bergen,
n. j., and Middletown, distance OF %
miles, is to be equipped at once, For
the first 80 miles, the signals will be pu:
two-thirds of mile apart; for the rest
Of the distance, about one and one-thrd
miles apart. 1t will require five power
plants for charging the batteries, which
will be located at Rutherford junction,
Rldgewood Junction, Suffern, Oxford and
Middletown. The line to be protected has
two and four tracks at different places,
and is the most congested part of the Erie
System. Hitherto a manual block, which
is tower with signals operated by q
towerman, has been used as block pro-
lection, but it has been deemed best to
install an automatic system for further
protection, and to accelerate the move
ment of trains. The new system will DO
extended over the entire line in the future.

CELESTIALS OBJECT.
As q Protest Against Government
Policies, a Bomb Was Thrown.
Il Exploded in Private Car Carrying

New Plans of Dowager
Empress.

Pekin. Sept. 25.-At the Pekin rail-
way station Sunday, as the train carry
Ing one of the four missions ordered
abroad 10 study foreign political meth
DDS was leaving, a bomb was exploded
inside a private car killing four minor
officials and wouding over 20 other
persons. The wounded include Prince
Tsai Tohe who heads the most I'M
portant of the missions and WI Ting
Fang, former minister to the United
States. both of whom received slight
injuries. The perpetrators of the out
rage, who was in the car, was blown
to pieces.
The affair has created profound
sensation and causes apprehension re-
garding the safety of the members OF
the court and leading officials of the
government.
The government Offices and railway
are now strongly guarded.
The edict appointing the missions
mentioned in the foregoing dispatch
was issued July 16. A dispatch from
Pekin August 20 said the missions
were appointed to study foreign sys-
TENS of government because the dow
ager empress intended to issue de-
cree at the New Year for the establish
ment of parliament - years hence.
Washington, Sept. 25.-When the
dispatch containing an account Of the
explosion of a bomb in a private car
was shown to Sir Chentung Lang
Cheng, the Chinese minister here,
Sunday night, he expressed his horror
over the occurrence and said it was
doubly unfortunate that 1t should &C.
cur just at a time when all things
seemed so suspicious for China and
her government. There is doubt
about the perpetrators, or, rather, as
to the party that is responsible for the
deed. Then the minister added:
There are two parties in China, the
new reform party, which is DESTROYS
of having the people and government
profit by the adoption of whatever is
found good in Occidental civilization
and methods, and the party thae yon
call anarchists in this country. The
leaders of the latter are really devoid
of any principles, whether Of govern
ment or anything else; envy and jeal-
ousy are the mainsprings that actu-
ate their every move. Like your pres
ident-killing anarchists. they merely
seek to destroy. The late action in
regard to the sending abroad Of mis-
sionaries has especially angered
them.
