Governor Some of these have abso- lut@ly gone so far as to declare Mir. Conner will carry the county by any where from 500 to 1000.
 The race for supremacy for Chief Justice has been in the hands mainly of attorneys, friends of the present Chief Justice and Judge Tyson. Both sides are claiming victory. As to the Associate Justices no one dares make a reckoning.
 Three evidences of the diversity of on:pion as to results are herewith given. Max Hamburger, Jr.. estimated today that pr. Cunningham would car ry the four large county precincts which have almost half the votes out side the city and break even at twenty four of the small precincts and come to the city with the same majority he got against Walter F. Walsh for State Sen ator. He expects his candidate to get a good majority In the city.
 John Drago, President of the Conner Campaign Club, said his man would get two votes to one. and estimated ma- iority for B. B. Conner of 1000. Robert 10. Gordon, Secretary of the Conner Campaign Club. said he figured MT. Comer's majority at 200. It will thus be seen two of Mir. Corners most en- hbused champions are 800 votes apart, though both claim the county.

Some Paris Papers ThtRk SfOtyRsm
 Deserved Bomb.
 Paris. Aug. 2s.-Most of the news- papers today deplore and criticize in the severest terms the bomb outrage at the residence of the Russian Premier. M. Stolypin, last Saturday and agree that 1t will act only as setback to the cause of reform.
 The socialist organs, however. seek to paliiate the offense by contending that the government had exasperated the revolutionists by constant bad faith. trickery and brutal acts.
 The Temps In an editorial says:
 The universal reproduction which these political crimes arouses is in creased by the fact that Premier Stolypin cannot be called either an uncompromising reactionary or a blood thirsty bureaucrat We always con- sidered that 1t was with remarkable good faith that he devoted himself to what he believed was for the good of Russia. though he may have been mis- taken in the means he chose.
 Tt is to be feared that military dictorship pure and simple will follow Stolypin's tiniid liberalism but If that statesman wishes a fine lesson from the misfortune which has befallen him let him work it out quickly as a system of constitutional legality. thus reply ing by noble gesture to the odious act of which he ia the victim and spare the country further of these rep rehensible deeds and useless cruel ties"

Greater Part of Louisiana is Enjoying
 Good Weather Conditions.


 New Orleans, Aug. 26.-Reports from Picayune correspondents in Louisiana and Mississippi on weather and cot ton crop conditions in these States for the week ending Saturday August 2o' indicate a wide variance.
 However, the greater portion of the territory is enjoying weather favor able to a fair crop, Some deterioration Is shown in the hill sections, while in the lowIands everything is conducive to normal growth and proper devel-
 ih. terrific heat wave that swept the South during the latter part of the week had no material effect on the plant or its fruit.
 However little field work could be accomplished in some sections for two or three days because of the burning sun, the pickers being driven to cover
 The cause of deterioration is due in some localities to insufficient moisture. while in others too much rain Is re- sponsible for the falling og in the crop. The week has been remarkable for sudden reversals.
 What was considered an excellent stand A few days ago in some portions of the territory is now admitted to be greatly under the average, while de- pressing conditions In other localities have given way to a brighter outlook for the planter Farmers are not dis posed to market their cotton hastily, though a great deal has been Einned.

Improves In Georgia.

Atlanta, Ga, Aug 26.-The gener- ally propitious weather which has prevailed in Georgia for the past fort night throughout the State greatly improved the growing cotton crop. However. the crop is from two to three weeks late and poorly frutted.
 In the southern portion the State cotton is beginning to open briskly. Farmers are apprehensive that the or dinary dificulties they encounter in obtaining sufficient labor in picking time will be multiplied, contractors in the cities reporting that 1t Is difficult to obtain sufficient labor to carry on their operations.
 Dispatches from Columbia, s. C.. say the cotton crop in South Carolina has made fairly good progress in groVth this week While in parts the weather has been favorable the plant is not rruiting very well. Tn some sections of the State there has been a little too much rain. Sunshine for the week has been much below normal. The temper ature averaged slightly above normal and was remarkably equable.

Max Hamburger Expects Cunningham

Mobile, Aug. 6-(SpeciaL)- )-Just a few hours and Mobile, city and county will engage in battle, peaceful. it is to be hoped in its continuation, let the victors be whom they may.
 It will be a battle of the ballot, and one. for intensity and earnestness of purpose never before witnessed in this city and county. All of today the lead CTS of both the Cunningham and Conner factions were busy, their heads to- gether, preparing for the grand rush. The two headquarters were scenes of animation early and late Politicians and some not politicians, were at ali times coming and going, and, 1t is safe to say, the entire field of action was gone over time and again.
 At Cunningham headquarters there was a decided air of confidence. Sew eral there were who prognosticated that Dr. Russell M. Cunningham would carry the county by 500; others more conservative placed the figures at 250. l while some there were who said they were honest when they prognosticated
 the vote for the head of the ticket would be close.

 Reports on the cotton crop for the past week do not Indicate the prevail ence of universally favorable conditions. There are sections in which shedding have been general, while in others ex- cessive' rains have aroused grave fears for the plant in the lowlands.
 More or less deterioration always occurs during August and though some what delayed this year now seems ap- bearing. Some Correspondents fear that the extensive growth has been at the expense of 4the bolls but opinion IS di- vided on this point.
 Weather of the week has been in the main showery and very hot The east half of Missouri has not, however, received It's share of rain and more than elsewhere.
 In the delta the outlook Is still good. Arkansas conditions have been main tained while in Northern Alabama pos itive advancement has been made. Ten nessee conditions remain very good
 Picking has not become general over the territory reported upon and in many sections the cotton Is opening slowly by reason of the continued plant growth. Some of the hill lands in sec tions where there has not been much rain has moved a few bales of new cot ton.
