POOLE GETS ESTIMATES.
nrponrs ON COTTON FROM SEW
 rnAL SOUTHERN STATES.
Arnbsma Cemmissfoner Has Hehspie Information That Yield of fhe staple VIII Be Far Be
 low Last Year.

r.ommissioner of Agriculture R. R Poole received batch of highly pull ish" replies yesterday from leading cotton authorities in Mississippi. Geor- gia. Texas and Tennessee whom ne had wired a day or two ago seeking es- inmates of the cotton crop condition this wear ana the prospective yield as compared with 1so4
 But one telegram put the crop con dition estimate within hailing distance of the revised Government report is- sued few weeks ago, giving the av- craze for the whole production of the United States.
 All the states heard from by Com missioner Poole, except Tennessee, in- dicate very poor crop conditions and Tennessee, 1t would be remembered contributes a small fraction of the to- tai yield. W. W. ogilvie, Commission | CT of Agriculture of that State, advises MT. Poole that the estimated condition is S2. The next highest estimate 10 this Is that of Walter Clark. president Of the Mississippi Cotton Growers As sociation, for that State, being 6s. Mfr.
 Clark also adds in his telegram that
 the yield of Mississippi this year will
 be. according to the most reliable es- | inmates, 66 per cent. of the total yield for the State last year.
 l Next under Mississippfs estimated
 crop condition Is that of East and
 North Texas, the estimate being made
 by Col E. R. Peters. President of the | Texas Cotton Growers, Association. For East and North Texas Colonel Peters
 makes the crop condition s3.s. Tn his reply to Commissioner Poole's telegram | he makes the assertion that this years North and East Texas yield will be the l poorest cotton crop ever known" for | these sections.
 1 Even a little more "bullish" than
 Colonel Peters estimate of the general crop condition throughout the State Is that sent in to Mir. Poole by H. M. | Thomas, who Is recognized by many as 1 the greatest cotton operator in Texas. He puts the condition at 62.
 A prominent cotton man in Georgia whose name would not be given out by
 Mir. Poole teiegraphed that from the best information. obtainable this years cotton yield in Georgia will be about e6.67 per cent. of last years" Alabama's estimated yield for 1905 is
 s5 per cent. of last years. These are
 the figures of Mir. Poole issued some
 time ago before he left for Southwest Alabama and reiterated by him on his return to his office here Tuesday.
 The adverse agencies that have borne down on the crop condition estimates in this way are generally reputed to be rain and scarcity of labor in cultivation. The campaign waged by the Southern Cotton Association for a reduction of cotton acreage this year while not so successful as to bring about 25 per cent. counted in pulling down the con- servative estimates of yield all through the cotton-growing States.
 Commissioner Poole expects to hear from reliable persons in Louisiana on condition estimates and estimates of yield also. Oklahoma Territory and North and South Carolina have been also Queried on the same lines.

WALLER TO HOLD HIM
IF CAPTURED LESLIE RABB WILL
 BE SENT HERE.
Governor DesiEnates Sheriff of M0nt- KOmery to Receive Assailant of Evergreen Young Woman,
 Who ls q Fugitive.

Governor Jelks yesterday named Sheriff w. R. Waller of Montgomery County as the officer to whom Leslie Rabb. the alleged rapist of Evergreen. Is to be delivered by his capturer If the reward of $200 offered by the State is to be had.
 When the Governor offered the re- ward Wednesday he left the county to be supplied later in which young Rabb should be taken for safe keeping Since then he has decided upon Montgomery County.
 Nothing new has developed in the case of the assault in Evergreen on the night of August 20. No trace of Rabb has been found. although Sheriff W. w Pridgen of Conecuh County has not abated his effort to capture the fugitive.
 The facts in connection with the as- sault of Miss Barrow are becoming more certain from successive reports of Evergreen citizens. who visit Mont gomery The young woman had ac- companied Rabb to Evergreen from her home in the country. It seems that the couple found there were no services at the church that night and on the suggestion of Rabb they started to- wards the home of the youngS man to spend the evening with his family. In a grove near the home of Rabb he Is alleged to have committed the terrible crime with which he Is charged.
 Afterwards, he Is alleged to have &C., companied the girl part or all of the way to her home. The young man has not been seen since in Evergreen.
 Miss Barrow kept the crime secret for a short time. but finally revealed the story to her family and the chase for Rabb began.
 Rabb is about 21 years old and Is the son of one of the most prominent families of South Alabama.
