CROP CONDITIONS
 ARE NOT 50 GOOD Too Much Rain and Lack of
 Rain Is Reported BOIL WEEVIL IS BUSY The Insect Is Doing Much Damage In Louisiana-Cotton Is Being Picked
 and Marketed In Parts
 of Texas.
BOIL WEEvIL IS BUSY

Memphis, August 9-The Commercial Appeals weekly cotton crop summary is as follows:
 There is no longer the recent uniformity in crop progress. Complaints of excessive rain or dry weather and the attendant evil of shedding come from many sec tons. Reports this week are favorable in North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma and Texas. In these states the rainfall was rather beneficial, and complaints of damage from excessive pre- cipitation are few. The plant has grown well, otherwise heavily fruited, is not shedding to any extent and promises nearly, if not quite, the best of the sea- son.
 Worst reports come from Louisiana, Mississippi and Southern Alabama. There the rainfall was very heavy and contin- uous. Water sometimes stood for days in the cotton furrows It is said the bolls routed in a few instances. The plant be- ing suddenly water-soaked, shedded and in Central Louisiana the activity of weevils was greatly increased. The crop in these sections has received a setback from which, however, it may consider ably recover with good weather hence- forth. The opening of cotton was retard- ed and picking will be delayed. Western South Carolina and Eastern Georgia are in need of rain, and the plant is shedding slightly.
 In Texas the farmers are selling tho cotton when 1t is picked at market prices. Picking outside of Texas will not become general for two or three weeks yet

Has Skin Like Armor.

From the San Francisco Call
 Chain armor is not needed by Hospital Steward H. A. Harris of the battleship Georgia. He was shot by Philip A. Beck CT during an altercation in a Market street saloon last weeA. He blcd freely at the time and the Central Emergency hospital surgeons despaired of his life when the ambulance brought him to their care. Like all good and efficient hos pital doctors they went after the bullet that punctured the skin of the petty off cer Their efforts to locate the leaden pellet were all in vain. Probes failed to follow the course taken by the deadly missile
 The patient, however, declared that he never felt better, but he was cautioned not to move, in fear of an internal hem orrhage. Finally the X-ray was resorted to and to the surprise of all it was found that the bullet had not entered the inner cavity but had struck a rib and bounced out through the hole 1t had made in the flesh of the soldier Harris returned to his ship and will leave with the squad ron on Tuesday.
