GOVERNMENTS ESTIMATE.
Reasons For Low Condition Found in
Excessive Rain in Early Season
and Drought in Latter Part.

! Washington. Oct. 1.-The most un-
; Favorable report on the condition OF
;'he cotton crop. issued by the de-
partmcnl Of agriculture al this sea
son of, the year for many years. was
made public to-day. Financial and
weather conditions combined 10 make
the repor: mfavorable
To-day official report indicated
that on September 23 The condition
Of the cotton crop was only 5S.3 per
cen:. Of the normal. as compared with
63.7 per cent. on August 23. 1909;
G9.7 On September 25. 1908: 61.7 on
September 23. 1907, and g. per cent.
on the average for ten years on ALL
Gust 25. 1909.
After the announcement by The de-
partment Of agriculture Of the fig
ueS recording the average for this
month, DR.. S. \. Knapp. chief Of the
cooperative demonstrative work for
the department Of agriculture in the
! South. after the conference with Sec
re,ary Wilson said that the serious
/ falling off in the figures. especially
for Louisiana and Mississippi, we're
due to two conditions. One was the
excessive rainfall in the early part OF
the cotton crop season. followed by a
serious drought. and the second was
the failure Of cotton planters 10 OBJ
tain advances on their crops from
bankers. The latter reason forced
the planters to dismiss considerable
part Of their labor at a time when
i the boil weevil was a most serious
pest.
DR.. Knapp stated that another rea-
son. which induced a falling off in
the general average Of Louisiana was
that there was practically thirty per
cent. less of acreage in cotton than in
previous years.
The boil weevil did serious damage
during the past year in the southwest
ern quarter Of Mississippi.
In my judgment. said Dr..
Knapp. "the really serious trouble,
which applies to all Of the cotton
States, was brought about the the ex-
cesSive rainfall in the early part of
the season and the excessive drought
in the latter part. In some OF the
States planters scarcely could obtain
water enough for their live stock.
This was particularly true Of Texas
and Oklahoma. What is known as
the New Orleans storm. which passed
up through portions Of Louisiana and
Western Mississippi blew out I'M
mense quantities Of cotton. and served
seriously to detract from the excel
lence of the crop
Secretary Wilson declined to make
any statement regarding the figures
given out by his department. He said
thai he would talk about the wheat
crop, about the condition Of cattle in
the West and about almost anything
else but cotton. He said that DR..
Knapp knew more about the cotton
crop from practical observance Of
conditions in the South than any 9TH
er man in the department, and he had
nothing to add 10 the statement made
by him.

NEW GOVERNOR GOES
INTO OFFICE JUNE &c

when is the inauguration going To

That is a question you are apt to hear
around the capitol, on the streets, in
the hotel Hobbies, on the trains, anywhere,
from politician, plain citizen or visitor. II
began internationally a couple of months
ago, but has been growing increasingly
persistent as the middle of the summer
drew nearer-the time that everybody
knows in a general way will be featured
sooner or later by a change of admins
trations.
And until now nobody has answered 1t,
though il would be foolish to suppose that
nobody knows the solution.
A man who is usually we'll informed
was asked this question, Monday. He
tried to change the subject, failed miser-
ably. hestitated, and finally said, June

when ne was reminded that he was prob
ably thinking of the date of the pri-
mary.
Article V, section l, paragraph 3, of the
state constitution provides that thu
governor shall be installed in office at
the next session of the general assem-
bly, after he is elected. The secretary of
state holds the sealed returns till the as
sembly convenes, then transmits them to
the president of the senate, and they are
opened by that officer in company with
the speaker of the house. The result OF
tn election is declared by the whole gen.
eral assembly.
Section 116 of the polical code provides
that the ceremony of inauguration shall
take place during the first week of the
session of the general assembly next af-
ter the election and on such date of that
week as the general assembly by joint
resolution appoints" and in the event the
assembly does not appoint a day, the in.
auguration shall take place at u O'Clock
noon ION the Saturday of that week. un-

MILITARY COURTS
KEEP EXECUTIONER
BUSY WITH ROPES
Thirteen Civilians and Soldiers Are
Hanged at Daylight Monday and
Their Bodies Left Hanging Before
Eyes of the Public.


CONSTANTINOPLE, May 3.-Thirteen
civilians and soldiers sentenced by the
military courts to death for murder were
hanged in different parts of CONSTANT
nople at o'clock this morning.
Major Yussef, his son and three other
men who killed the Syrian deputy, Emir
Mohammed Arslan of the parliament.
were executed on the spot where they
committed the crime.
Five others were hanged at the entrance
of the ministry of war and three men
at the STEAMBOAT end of the Galata bridge.
Upon the breast of each criminal had
been pinned a large placard in Turkish,
setting forth the sentence of the court.
Around the foot of the gibbets on the
bridge the early morning buying of fruits,
flowers and vegetables proceeded as usu-
al, while the bodies were in full sight
of the great crowds that made their way
over the bridge between STEAMBOAT and
Galata.
Victims Were Prominent
Major Youssef was commandant of the
first battalion of the Seventh regiment.
Among the non-commissioned officers ex-
ecuted was Hamdi Bin Yechar ser
geant of the Fourth battalion of the Sa-
loniki chasseurs.
The men executed on Galata bridge were
guilty of the murder of Lieut.. Elissam
and the Major Youssef was the man who,
after the murder of Deputy ArslaD made
his way to the house of parliament and
denounced the members for acting against
the laws of the koran.
Yechar planned the details of the re-
volt of April 10 and was COMMANDMENT
chief and practically dictator of the Con-
stantinople for the two days following.
The other eleven men worked under Ye-
char.
Mourad, editor of the newspaper Ma
zim, is being tried by courtmartial today.
A MEMBER of the courtmartial read he
suItan's ffrmin confirming the sentences
at each place of execution and priests
prayed with the condemned for two hours
before thier executions.
The bodies were left hanging until
o'clock this afternoon and were seen by
at least 100000 of the population of the
city.
Massacres Were Planned
Documentary evidence has been re-
ouested among the records of the tele-
graph offices here of the knowledge OF
the Constantinople authorities that mas
sacres had been planned for the Adana
district. and that they were to coincide
with the political events here.
other pS2ers have been found indicat-
ing also that the conspirators at the pal
ace acted in the sultan's name in pre-
pairing the military mutiny of April H.
Lists of houses with notes on the kind
of loot to be found therein, were dis
covered on some of the prisoners now Ill
custody. The arrangements included q
general massacre of foreigners in Constan-
tinople, including the diplomatic repre-
sentatives, on April "a.
The Turkish cabinet resigned today.
The political situation is bewildering and
no one can tell what the outcome will be.

Late Saturday Night Storm Was Pass
ing East Into the Atlantic Ocean.
Savannah Very Badly Damaged 10y
Wind and Rain.

The storm. which for three days has
been sweeping eastward across the south
ern states, last night was passing out
of the south Atlantic states into the
Atlantic ocean.
Despite three days of snuffing out hu-
man lives, crushing habitations. doing
perhaps millions of dollars damage and
for few hours in some extensive sec
lions we'll nigh demoralizing business
and communication, this tremendous at
mospheric disturbance Saturday appar-
emily had lost none of its vicious energy.
Late Saturday afternoon wires sud
denly regained, flashed the news of
one more death in Georgia, lives taken
by a storm, the coming of which some
of the victims had been reading for
two days in the newspapers. Friday
night when the news of the extent of de-
struction in Tennessee, with between
go and 100 deaths, was speeding from the
presses toward Albany and Cedartown,
Ca, and when even old hands at predict
ing the course of tornadoes were draw
ing a sigh of relief and saying it was all
over, the winds were racing with the
trains toward those towns.
Before daylight the tornadoes struck
both places, killing twelve in the vicin-
south of Albany.
At Savannah, the tornado had lost
much of its fury. 1t tore through the
old town, however, unroofed many
houses and destroyed much property not
only in the city, but in adjacent coun-
try.
From Norfolk came news of high winds
and some damage to property, while the
towns in North Carolina and many in
Florida contributed their quota of storm
devastation.
That the worst is over, now seems GER
tain, and it only remains to cast up the
cost in human life and property. That
this list will be incomplete for several
days is probable, for wires are down and
railway communication is seriously in
terrupted in the interior of several
states in the path of the tornado.
with the information at hand, how
ever. it seems certain that at least 200
have been killed. probably twice as
many injured and that property worth
several millions of dollars has been de-
stroyed.
