TO allow this splendid opportunity

The two big windows in all gran.

CHIEF TAYLOR PUTS
BAN ON OBSCENE POSTERS

With the zeal of an Anthony Com
stock, Police Chief Taylor Is going az
ter the pictures and postal cards and
prints that bring the blush to modest
persons. He yesterday issued to the
patrolmen orders that Sections 111S and
l1l9 of the City Code, which provide
punishment for anyone who displays,
sells. or gives away indecent or OBJ
scene papers, publications postal cards,
prints or pictures. be enforced strictly.
Another admonition which Chief
Taylor set forth was in regard to the
cruelty to animals provision. Section
963 of the City Code provides a pun
ishmAnt for cruelty to animals, and
Chief Taylor ordered that the Sec
ton be strictly observed.
And what with thus becoming lieu
tenants of the Society for the Proven
ton of Cruelty to Animals. and the
Society for the Suppression of Vice, Il
Is thought that the police will havs
! their hands fun.

Fort Deposit. July 1s.-(SpeciaL)-
The past week has been another ideal
week for cotton and farmers are still
in the grass. No rains having fallen
to amount to anything. the farmers are
being allowed to kill the grass. How
ever. for old corn, rain is very much
needed, not having had any rain here
since the continued rains ceased.
Crops are very spattered. The sandy
land cotton is very small. much of 1t
not over six inches high. II is sup
posed by the farmers that the fertili-
ger is so nearly exhausted under this
cotton. that II will not make much
cotton.
The bottoms are small. from being
drained out. The best cotton in this
locality Is on the prairie hills. The
crops are all being washed continu-
ally. and none will be layed by be-
fore August l. Some will be worked
even later than this time.
The corn crop Is again going to be
short, In spite Of the fact that tn.
farmers had put fourth every effort
to make corn crop and to discontinue
the heavy expense>>of buying.

Parties here tonight from Santa
Rosa County state that the shipment
OF $4,000 pounds Of wool through here
10; Savannah during the past week
was only a forerunner of what is to
come as preparations are now being
made to send out from that county a
shipment aggregating about 10000
pounds. The wool has all been haled
and is now ready to be hauled to a
wharf and loaded on a steamer for
this port. Sheep raising was only
undertaken on large scale In Santa
Rosa three years ago, and this year
the yield Of wool has more than paid
for all expenses incurred.

Tuskegee. July 1s.-(Special. THE
few days of hot, dry weather for the
past week have materially benefited
the corn and cotton crops on the up
lands.
In some parts of the county the bot
tom lands are in a deplorable condi-
ton. almost beyond reclamation. Some
have been abandoned.
The scientific planters yet hope to
make rs per cent. of a cotton and
corn crop, and about so per cent. on all
other crops.
The negro farmers will average less
than 40 per cent. on all crops.

Camden. July 1S.-(Speciai)-The
cotton crop Is slowly and steadily i'm
proving, and where II has been Guilt
waited properly and they have had sea-
sonably rains. the cotton plant has
made wonderful progress. This is
especially true on good land.
In the rich bottoms. the crop is look
ing fine and with favorable seasons
will make bumper crop. Cotton on
the hills and sandy land is growing
slowly, and the outcome is very prob
lematical
The cotton crop has improved about
fifteen per cent. in the past two weeks
and with favorable seasons from now
on at least two-thirds of a cotton
crop has been made. Young corn Ia
looking fine. and from the present
prospects,. a fine crop will be made.
In some portions of the county. rain
is needed very badly. while in others,
they are still getting too much rain.
The sweet potato crop Is excellent.

into the market.

HALE.

Greensboro, July 1a-(SpeciaD-
From information gathered from diff
ferent sections of the county, 1t can
be said the crop conditions have i'm
proved very materially during the last
two weeks.
The hot. dry weather with occasional
showers, has enabled the farmers to
get rid of much of the grass and put
the crop in good growing order; but
with the crops now a whole month
| behind what It ought to be at this
time of its growth, 1t is safe to say
we cannot hope to have a crop equal
to an average. but can reasonably ex-
pect one much short of last year.
Crops on the sandy lands in north
Hale. have the advantage of the black
lands just now.

HENRY.

Abbeville. July 17-(Special)-T
condition of the cotton crop in Henry
county is not as good as 1t was a week
ago. II has rained In most sections
nearly every day for the past ten
days. During that time work has been
stopped and a great many fields have
gotten grassy.
The black root or wilt has been do
ing much damage. In many instances
the stand of cotton is materially in
jured.
A week ago the prospect for a cot
ton crop was better than 1t had been
for several years before. II the rains
continue. the farmers will lay by in
the grass and the crop will be cut
short.
Fodder pulling time is almost here
and the farmers will have to stop all
other work TO attend to that
There is no question that the cotton
crop will be much later than last year.
Corn Is better than has ever been
known before. The crop Is safe with
the season which is now in the ground
and a large yield will be made.
The watermelon sorghum, pea. pota-
toes. cane and groundpea crops are
splendid.

November 8 to IL are the dates de-
cided upon for the big Tri-County Fair
in Pensacola. in which Baldwin Coun-
ty, Ala. and Escambia counties are
to participate.
This has been decided upon by the
Board of Directors, who have been In
session for a lengthy period. The board
also decided to give the fair at Mag
nolia Bluff. about three miles from the
business section of the city, which
affords the best site obtainable for
such purposes.
To place the site in condition. en-
close 1t and erect the necessary build
ings will entail an expenditure of
about $4,000. and 1t is proposed to
raise this amount by popular sub
scription in the city.
Several large, though not fine build
ings will be necessary. and these will
be erected. The cooperation of the
ladies of the Civic League of PEN
sacola will be requested by the asso-
citation.

Candidacy Of RIount


The announcement this morning that
Hon. W. A. Blount will be a eandi-
date for the United States Senate to
succeed Senator James p. Taliaferro.
came almost as a bolt from clear sky
to the politicians in this section. who
had never dreamed of Mr.. Blount as
a possible opponent to the Jackson
Vile Senator. reasoning that their in
terests in past years had been too
closely identified to allow of Mr..
Blount becoming a candidate.
Another reason advanced was that
Mr.. Blount's law practice was too lu-
cratjve to allow of him entering poll
itics, especially where he would have
to devote months to a very active cam
paign, but Notwithstanding this he had
practically concluded TO enter the
race.
Mr.. Blount Is acknowledged to be
the foremost attorney OF Florida, and
has been recognized as such for many
years. For ten or fifteen years he has
been chief counsel In Florida for the
Louisville and Nashville Railroad. and
for many years has also been counsel
for all other large corporations doing
business in this section Of the State.
