over SUMTER In AUTOS
LOOKING AT CROPS
Representatives Of Mills On
TFip Here

A big touring car containing several
cotton buyers and Representatives Of
mills and export houses in Georgia
trundIed out of Americus yesterday
morning over the Leslie road These
gentlemen desired to ascertain for
themselves the true condition of the
cotton crop, and to that end Mr.. l.,
G. Council placed his car at their dis
posal. That the cotton crop here has
greatly deteriorated there is no doubt
such conditions prevailing all over
this and neighboring counties as the
result of the blazing hot weather
which has caused the plant to shed
to an alarming degree This is espe-
cially true on light and gray lands,
where the crop has a scorched or
burned over" appearance On red
lands conditions are slightly better
the deterioration being not so mark
ed The prospect. upon the whole, is
not nearly so encouraging as two
weeks ago. On light lands a large
percentage of the crop awaits the
pickers, the fields being white all
over.

HUDSON DISCREDITS The
BUMPER CROP REPORTS
Asks That Erroneous Ideas
Be Corrected

Atlanta, Aug. 17.-Commissioner =.
G. Hudson, of the Georgia department
of agriculture, is mailing letters to
the commissioners of all the other
southern states, asking their cooper
alton and that of the farmers unions,
with the idea in view of having a meet
ing called to combat the erroneous
impression that the cotton crop this
year is going to be the largest ever
made and to keep the prices from be
ing forced down.
Mr.. Hudson suggests that the meet
ing be called by TAFT Butler, OF Starks
vile, Miss, as president of the associ-
alton of Commissioners of Agriculture
OF the Southern States.
Mr. HudsOn's letter follows:
Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 16, II.
The impression has been created
throughout the country that the cot
ton crop this year is going to be the
largest ever made. This impression
has already had the effect of lowering
the price of cotton and will carry It
much lower, unless something is done
to put the world on notice that the
crop is not such a large one as they
would have you think.
4 have travelled all over Georgia
and know that the crop has deteri-
GRATED very much in the past month
or six weeks, and from what l hear
the same is true in your state.
q think an effort should be made
at once to first disabuse the minds Of
the people about the size Of the cotton
crop, and then get the farmers all
over the south to hold a suficiency
OF their cotton to prevent the price
from being forceded down to where
it will mean starvation to the farmer.
I believe that the southern states
commissioners of agriculture should
meet at some convenient point within
the next two weeks and ask all farm

Not Adjourned, But Left Open for

Matters Not Fully Closed.

Coppock Gets Penitentary Sentence,
Subject to Modification by the
Board of Parole.

Judge. NJ. e. Hutchinson closed the
district COURT Cn Friday afternoon and
returned to his home at Lake City.
The court was not finally adjourned
but was left open for the disposition
of few matters not fully closed UP
at the time the judge left here. The
term was a busy one, large amount
of court business being disposed Of.
At the time the Review went to
press week ago the case of Nc
Henry against Howard was on trial
and was dismissed by the plaintiff be-
fore submission to the jury. Ma,
terial evidence which was in exist
ence at the time the case was brought
proved unavailing at the trial and the
lease was withdrawn for that reason.
In the case of the State of Iowa
against Grill. the defendant was fined
$100. We do not know whether the
defendant intends to submit to the
fine or to appeal the case to the SUI
preme court. In the case of the state
against Coppock, the defendant was
given a penitentiary sentence, which
is subject to modification by the board

against the unseemly conduct OF his
two children and asked the court to
set aside the order appointing tenn
porary guardian. On this application
4 trial was had and large number
of witnesses examined, the defendant
himself being called on the stand in
order that the court could determine
from his testimony how far, if at all,
his mind was clouded and his ability
to care for his property impaired. Mr..
Fineran, in giving his testimony,
demonstrated his clearness OF mind
his recollection of the property which
he possessed, the claims of his
children upon it and his ability to
dispose of it intelligently. The evi-
dence disclosed that the two children,
who were asking guardian for their
father, were the youngest children of
the family and had contributed the
least toward the accumulation of the

she was exposed and called to her

attention and prevent her being run

east. but could not get her atten-

1t is said that when she was found she
held her rosary beads in her hands,
and was probably engaged in prayer

the engineer who saw her claimed she
was looking down. The engineer or
the local freight going east stopped
his train and went back and found
her body at the west side of the Co

by the engine causing her death. The
body was brought to DenisOn on the

under the direct supervision OF her
mother to enable her to take up the
work Of housekeeper among the best
of older heads.

known to Denison people, as he has
lived in this community the past few

AIva Daniels Had "Makns" of Span
iard-Lydia Belle kuehnIe Takes
Part of Leading Lady.

THE Man in Command" at the opera
house, as presented Monday evening
by the Irving Ero society of the State
University, proved a magnificent sue,
cess from every standpoint. The play
itself is so far above the ordinary
productions brought to Denison by So
called professional companies, that 1t
was indeed refreshing to see and hear
something of real merit.
The young people presented the play
in a surprisingly realistic manner and
from the comments we have heard
from those who attended we feel safe
in saying that it was thoroughly en-
joyed. Each part was exceptionally
we'll portrayed and the entire play
carried to finish without an apparent
break or flaw of any kind.
The leading character was taken by
Rowland Philbrook. Every one ex-
pected "Philly' to do just the right
thing, and they were not disappointed,
great many declaring his work the
equal of anything they had seen on
the professional stage.
Lydia Belle kuehnle, as the wife of
the U. S. consul, was fine. This was
Lydia Bellies first attempt along the
atrical lines and she did exceptionally

Alva Daniels, as the Spanish hotel
keeper, was one of the best on the
cast Alva certainly had the Spanish
accent down to where it would be hard
to tell whether or not he was an
American or Spaniard.
Dick Vawter, the wireless operator,
was immense, as We're all the other
members of the cast.
The play was presented before one
of the largest houses that we have
ever seen in the opera house. The
Denison orchestra played number Of
beautiful pieces, which added much
to the pleasure Of the evening.

ters as they appeared in the play:
