OUTLOOK BAD, SAY GINNERS.
President Taylor reports Crop Aver
age Lowest on Record.

Memphis, Tenn, July 19.-J. A..
Taylor, president Of the National Gin
ners' association, today issued the
following special report on the cot
ton crop:
Reports from about half of our
correspondents under average date OF
the 10th, indicate a condition of ~
and under. This is the lowest condf-
ton ever known at this date. Some
parts Of Alabama, Mississippi, Louisi-
ana. and Arkansas show slight inn
provement but others show deterior-
alton. Texas shows heavy deteriora-
ton on account of severe droughts
and hot winds. Scattered rains have
fallen since these reports. but
in most cases have come too lat
1T is the consensus of opinion
that rains now will only make the
plant shed more rapidly and there is
little chance to make a crop from
the new growth on account OF the
weevil. Heavy rains in Georgia and
the Carolinas have caused a small
loss in condition in that region Ok
lahoma shows considerable loss In
about half the State, due to hot dry
weather; the other half about holds
its own.
Reports from the weevil district
are that the damage being done now
is much less than in June, but with
rains the damage will increase. The
crop will likely show further loss be-
tween now and the 25th, unless there
are general rains of two to three days
in Texas"

Convincing the Jury.

The recent press reports touching

minds me of an amusing incident in
connection with a trial I once, Wit

The defendant had been accused
OF selling adulterated liquor, and some
whiskey was offered in evidence. This
was given the jury as evidence 20 as

When they finally filed into co.rrt.

No, your honor responded the

them.
There were six or eight thousand
people present. There was notable alb
sence of negroes in the crowd, but
those present were in among the
whites, showing that time had swept
away race prejudice. The exercises
were conducted under a wide-spreading
open-sided tent, which had been erect
ed along side the cabin in which Lin
coin was born, 100 years ago today.
The president and his immediate
party arrived shortly before one O'Clock
after drive over hard road from
Hodgenville, of FIVE miles. Governor
Wilson called the assembly together
and introduced Rev. DR.. E. L. Howell
of the First Christian church of Louis

prayer.

the exercises and the presidents imme-

State Press Association Hold
Lively Session, Elect Of d

Graft r. s. :. ( >.

President Wilson of the North Da-
kota Press association and Secretary
Taylor at the meeting held last night
had the time of their lives to keep
straight the proceedings of the meet
ing that was held in the Commercial
Club hall. -. 49,.
There have not been many meetings
Of the state press boys where there was
the state press boys since there was
such an animated discussion as was held
at this last meeting. The display of
oratory started over the adoption of the
report of the committee who had been
named 10 suggest changes IN the old
constitution of the association, and this
CONTROVERSY was 50 long drawn out that
time is lacking to print the details this
morning. *
Suffice it to say, however no impor-
ta,,t changes were enacted effecting the
constitution, and by a valiant attempt
on the. part of President Wilson did
those at the meeting arrive at point
where the election of officers took place
as named by a committee consisting OF
H. c. Plumley, c. E. Boyden and II.
P. Knappen as is enumerated later.
Resolutions were adopted whereby
the death of such eminent members OF
the association as Major. A. w. Ed
wards, NJ. B. de la Bere, and Fred
Falley was lamented and the resolutions
were ordered Transcribed upon the rec
ords. ~"
Later in the meeting well-worded
resolution was adopted whereby James
w. Foley, the poet laureate OF the
state, was fttingly eulogized for what
he had accomplished in setting forth
North Dakota in his literary efforts,
and the adoption of these. resolutions
made him an honorary member OF the
state association.

main he confined himself closely to his
manuscript, but at the beginning de-
parted from it to make reply to COM
plimentary illusions to himself by Gov
ernor Folk.
The corner stone remained suspended
in the air in the grasp of big der
rick erected behind the tent while the
oratory was in progress, and lm1re-
diately afterwards it was lowered into
its place at a signal by the president,
who applied the first trowelful of the
mortar that will hold it in its place dur
ing the coming centuries.
Skillfully concealed under the stone
was laid metallic box containing cop
les of the legislation of the United
States and other important historic
documents, some of which were placed
in it by the president and by other mem-
bers of the party. Among the contribu-
tors to this treasure were Clarence
Mackay, Robert J. Collier and Richard
Lloyd Jones all of whom have actively
participated in the movement which is
about to result in the memorial build
ing.
In this part of the ceremony, an aged
negro took leading part. He was
Isaac T. Montgomery of Mound Bayou,
Miss, who is said to have been a slave
of Jefferson Davis, president of the
Confederacy, who, like Lincoln, was
native of Kentucky. To Montgomery
was assigned the appropriate task of de-
posting in the box copy of Lincoln's
emancipation proclamation, and in do
ing so he made bief rspeech, refer
ring to himself ''as sent by former mil
lions of slaves to whom Lincoln gave
freedom. and the representative OF ten
millions of grateful negro citizens" He
was the one speaker who was not OH
the stand, all omission due to the fact
that this speech was not delivered from
there
The president boarded his train for
Louisville at 3:45 p. n.. expecting to
arrive at Washington abou t. p. IN. to-
morrow.
