ing the first annual meeting, a diyt-
dend of eight per cent was declared

TO PUT THIS CITY'S
COPS ON ROLLER SKATES.
Los Angeles Figures They Can Cover
e. Beats Faster AwheeT.

Los Angeles, August ga power
roller skate squad of patrolmen will
be the newest addition to the Los An
geles police force, according to an an
nouncement today by Police Chief Sc
bastain. Policemen now cover beats
on foot, on horseback, on motorcycles,
and in automobiles, but, according TO
the chief, the skates will enable them
to speed past some of these and keep
up with any of them in the paved
PARTS of the city.
The skates are of two sorts, both
already completed and tried out. One
type has two wheels, and is for high
speed. The other has four wheels for
each skate, not unlike in general de-
sign to the old-fashioned roller skate.
The police skate, however, is not pro-

DECLINE IN COTTON is
MARKED IN The FIELDS
Deterioration is Greater Than
Reported

Farmers coming to Americas yes
terday, not only from Sumter, but
those of neighboring counties as we'll,
told Of the continued deterioration OF
the cotton crop. From their estimate
the crop, locally, will be no better than
that of last year, and very far from
the bumper" figures adhered to in
the cotton markets in the north.
One prominent farmer told The
Times-Recorder that he would be sat
isfed if his crop this season turned
out as well as last years crop.
That the cotton crop is suffering
materially ana will be cut off from
% to 40 per cent is the belief OF farm
ers of this county. Too much rain,
or something else of that nature, is
causing cotton to shed much OF its
fruit.
This is stTikingly true with re-
gard to early cotton. The bottom crop
seems to be doing Well, as the bolts
are matured and opening fast, but the
top crop is falling off at a rate that
is causing the cotton growers a good
deal of concern.
The leaves are beginning to turn
yellow and drop off and little of the
top crop will ever mature, according
to well known planters.
Until few weeks ago the crop was
the very best ever seen il tl:,5 part
of the state. A bumper crop was free
ly predicted. But following the heavy
rains and hot sun a change has
over the crop and now it is believed
the crop will be about the same as
last year.
The farmers around here are a unit
in thinking the crop this year will be
way below the estimates placed upon
it.

"A man of 60 who has good health

today. In such eventful times such
man would be lodging responsible

active benefit of his experience and
