ed, although some parts of Ala.
bama and Georgia have complained
of drought. The dry weather has
greatly facilitated picking and the
maturing of late cotton. While
there is the usual complaint Of
deterioration at this season, the
loss in condition of the crop dur
ing September has not been nearly
so great as usual.
The lateness Of the crop has been
amply demonstrated, bat picking
IS now general, and should frost
be delayed a reasonable time the
yield is pretty certain to prove
larger than the earlier estimates.
There has been much complaint of
the damage done by boil weevils,
but it is doubtful il this damage
has been as great as it was last
year, although the weevils have
certainly extended to new districts.
The harvesting Of the corn crop
has been greatly facilitated all over
the South by the good weather,
and it is now evident that the
earlier expectations of bumper
yield have been fully realized.
The weather has also facilitated
hay. making and the gathering of
every other sort of forage crop, SO
that the South will have to spend
less money for these supplies than

SOLD WHISKY AS POP.
Now Trick Of BootIeggers Unearthed in
Cedar Rapids.

Cedar Rapids. Sept. S-Attention has
been called to a new trick in selling
whisky \ man brought to a news
paper office Il bottle. q pop bottle. filled
with a very poor kind of whisky.
The stuff was procured on Labor
Day. A man addicted to liquors
left the scene of the fountain and re-
turned in short time with bottle
of what was supposed to be pop. But
he was soon under the influence OF
liquor and then the examination OF
the bottle showed that he had sue
ceeded in buying whisky in pop bot
tie. He did not tell where heag got It,.
He said he had paid IS cents for the
bottle, which would be at the rate of
S12 a COLON for whisky which cost the
dealer probably Sl15 a gallon. The
whisky had the same color as some
kinds of pop. Tho bottle belonged to
the Cedar Rapids Bottling Works. but
it bore no stamp designating the kind
of pop inside. which leads to the con-
clusion that it was not bottled" at the
works where pop is made. 1t must have
been filed up in a drug store or some
other vendor Of pop.
Of course, the police force will pay
no attention to this bit of evidence
for they have always regarded it as
not their business to see that the
liquor laws are not violated. That Is
the states" business under the police
rule. They would not stop druggist
who was selling whisky. not even If
he sold it to a policeman himself or
gave it to him without price.
But 1t is. nevertheless. worth while
to put these facts before the public.
Perhaps it will lead to a lot of pop
bottles being emptied instanter. for
fear they might be seized and exam
ined.

wheels Of string of freight cars, of
which he was experimenting the
switching in the Great Western Union
Pacific yards at Ninth avenue and
Eighteenth street, at about 4:1O o'clock
yesterday afternoon.
The exact manner in which Parker
met his death is not known. He was
the engine foreman of the Great West
ern crews which do the switching into
the Union Pacific yards, and was in
charge of the crew when the accident
happened. He had been directing the
work from the top of the cars, and was
probably thrown off by a sudden start,
falling beneath the wheels.
