CoLrMBIA, No Sept ,, 1908
The Secretary of the State Boarf
OF Agriculture, Geo. b. Ellis, to-day
made the following announce ment OF
crop conditions In this state:
CoRS. The weather during August
was somewhat more favorable tax
ing she state as a whole, than dur
ing the previous month II Iwever,
the rains have been local and shere
hos been no general rain during the
month, but 10 most neigbbprhoods
the rain has been sufficient 10 keep
up normal growth Of the crop. A
number Correspondents, however,
report that she corn has been iniur.
ed during she month by dry weather.
The condltion has fallen uff two
points during the month, the general
average for she state now being IL
~ compared with IA one month ago
and s3 one year ago. The present
condition, however, is based upon
the prospect FOR normal weather un-
sill the middle OF October. The aver
age date Tor u killing frost Ia October
l4th, and that will give about time
for the late corn 30 mature. Ii IL
possible, however, that q small per
celtage OF the acreage planted the
first week In July will require little
longer time. Some OF ths last plant
ed corn Is just now In the silking aDt
tasselllng stage. A factor which
should be taken into consideration
In the corn crop Is the greatly re
duced acreage which, on account o
the overflow and excessive rains IL
the spring, is estimated at sbou
10 per cent below what Ii was las
year. Our correspondents estimat
that II per cent OF the entire croI
will be fully matured by Septembe
20sh, the remainder OF the crop re
quiring any where from that tim
until the 18th or Goth Of October Il

include the yield Of the 1908 whea

who was found dead on his porch in

Herald Monday printed a weird story
of alleged former attempts of DIR. Rus.
tin TO commit suicide in ways probably
never before used by any one attempt

Herald says:
Or Rustin had previously attempt
ed TO commit suicide in n manner so
cleverly and cunningly devised rs to
avoid the appearance of suicide and
which was so novel and unique in the
method employed that II Is probably
without a parallel in suicidal annals.
"Dr Rustin inocculated himself
with the baccili of typhoid fever for
the purpose of taking his own life, was
stricken with fever, was so near death
that the attending physicians de-
SPARED OF his life.

University of Chicago two test tubes
containing pure cultures, one OF te.

other malignant typhoid fever, These
tcs, tubes he carried in his pocket and
exhibited them to his friends, telling
them that IL he put q little of the
typhoid germs into their beer, they
would have typhoid fever within two
weeks, or II he scratched them and
put the tetanuS hacilli in the wound
they would die of lockiaw,
SHORTY after that Dr, Rustin
showed evidences OF typhoid fever
He also complained Of having been
bitten on the leg by dog and eX'

that he infected this wound with the

Rustn became seriously i'll with tho

and lower until finally the attending

BASE BALL
IN CUMBERLAND.

bridgaton will have base ball. Mill.
Vile will have base ball. There will
be mo-e than one team In each place.
There Is likelihood OF fight in
Mil1ville that will do the game no
good. AS the matter stands now there
will be two paid teams in the town.
Manager Adams. who fully intended
to quit the game so far as MillvilIe is
concerned. has decided to take up the
work once more, and has lease upon
the ground of the MillvilIe Athletic
Association, the down town diamond,
and will place good team there
But there will be another team located
mp at the Park. New ground will be
laid out out there and the management
mas already been in this ,ty to get the
team here to make dates for the sun
meer. Two teams will never pay in
Millville. and II the season opens with
both clubs, neither will last long
Webster Keller will have team
here. He has already started to ar.
rspge for the coming season and then
the Athletics will be better than ever.
Manages Keller has Ralrsady got ous
new stationery and is making dates
for the summer.
The Bridgeton, Athletic Association
will also have a-pretty good team
here.
So far as the Bridgeton Base Ball
Association ia concerned sr there is
nothing certain. There has been no
meeting yet for the election of officers
and there is no official manager &C..
lected for the season. A special COM
mittee has been corresponding with
players. but there have been no en-.
gaRements made yet. In short time,
some time this month. there will be
meeting of the stock holders. and
there Will be some definite action
taken.
Base ball will not succeed here I'M.
less Millville is properly in the game.
Ii there are two teams In MiIIviIIe /
means trouble. and it is not likely that
the BridReton Association will get
very far involved until 1t is apparent
what the outcomeEHill be.
