VERY FAVORABLE
CROP CONDITIONS
REPORT COVERING THE BELT
ALL INDICATIONS PROVE THAT THE
YIELD IN THIS SECTION WILL
Be ABUNDANT.

Reports regarding local crop
conditions are favorable. While
the cotton in one field is often
times much better than that in ar
adjoining field, thus proving how
spotted the excessive rains have
been, the crop on the whole is
blooming profusely and all indica-
tons are that the yield in this Sec
ton will be abundant. Below is
yesterdays news report covering
the belt:
There was a distinctly favora-
bic change in weather develop
ments over night. Indications are
now for more general rains in
Texas during the next few days.
There were further showers over
night in north Texas, good rains
in Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississip-
pi, Alabama and showers in the
Atlantics. Indications are for a
continuance of these favorable
able conditions in the central and
eastern states"
Times-Democrat says: Midway
between the governments crop
condition report for July and Aug
ust the talent seems to have lost
its bearings and a little raid cost
the contract market some price
ground yesterday. The trouble
grew out of the fact that profes-
sional traders are confused by an
improving condition in the central
and eastern states and a deterio-
rating condition in Texas. During
many days continued rains fell
over Arkansas and the states east
of the Mississippi river and the
crop went backward very rapidly.
Since then favorable weather has
repaired some of the damage done
but during this period of improve
ment in the central and eastern
states, drouth has played havoc in
Texas and some sections in that
state say that future rains will
come too late.

GALLAGHER CASE DELAYED.
Jersey City, N. j.. Aug. 12-
Supreme Court Justice Swayse
yesterday charged the special
Hudson county grand jury on
the attempt to assassinate May
or Gaynor. He practically told
the jury that it would be unwise
at this time to take up the mat
ter with the idea of indicting
James J. Gallagher, the assassin.
for the reason that the whole
now hinged on the con-
dition of the mayor.

guests feel at home there.
Mr.. JOHN A. Stinson was the
next speaker and said that since
he came to Columbus twenty
years ago, the city had made a
substantial and steady growth.
Mr.. Stinson stressed the point
that men more than money made
cities, and said that Scotland
while poor in land was rich in
men whose character and husi-
ness ability had challenged the
admiration of the world. He
urged cooperation with the
agricultural interests of the
county and also advocated better
schools for the county, roads and
intensive rather than extensive
cultivation of the soil. 4 bfter
Mr.. Stinson's talk, Mr.. Simon
Loeb was called on to speak.
Mr.. Loeb who is a pioneer citizen
of Columbus is one of the most
