REPORTS GENERALLY BAD.
Memphis Paper Reviews Condition OF
Cotton Crop.

Memphis, Sept. 3.-The CONNER
cial-Appeal's weekly cotton review
tomorrow will say:
Reports are unfavorable in the
Mississippi river and in Louisiana re-
gions. In Texas the outlook is slight
ly improved by reason of the cessa-
tion of rain.
Very heavy rains and winds dam
aged the crop in South Carolina, al
though rain may in the end add
something to the yield of the late cot
ton. Georgia reports considerable de-
terioration except in southern portions
where picking has begun. Alabama
reports some damage from the army
worm, the pest appearing over wide
areas and stripping field after field
of every vestige Of leaf growth and
young tender bolls. Conservative
estimates place the loss in Alabama
at 10000 bales, and in Mississippi
at about half as much.
The weather was slightly more ia
vorable than heretofore, good rains
having fallen in the valley, but a
longer period of dry weather is now
needed.
It is evident that the rains in Tex
as will add something to the crop
and may make a material addition
if the frost is late. Some Oklahoma
correspondents think the crop is as
good as late years and while others
report an irreparable loss, improve
ment since the rain is generally con-
ceded. Cotton is opening rapidly in
both those States, but much faster
elsewhere.

TAINTED TO HIS DEATH.
Rather than be Called "Fakr," Avia-
tor Frisbie Makes Last Flight.

Norton, Kan, Sept. ii. F. Fris-
bic, the Curtiss aviator, was killed by
a fall at the Norton County Fair.
Frisbie met with an accident yester-
day and only went into the air again
to-day when driven to do so by the
taunts and jeers of the crowd. Fris-
bic fell about 100 feet and the en-
gine of his machine fell upon him,
crushing his left side and chest. He
fingered for about an hour before he
died.
He had been giving exhibitions at
Elmwood Park for several days.
Yesterday his machine acted badly
and he had a fall of about 40 feet,
but escaped serious injury. He an
nounced he would not take the air
this afternoon, but when his state
ment was read the crowd hooted and
shouted "fakir" and refused to lis
ten to explanations. Frisbie announc-
ed that rather than have the big
crowd go away with the impression
that he was not willing to fly, he
would attempt a flight. He attained
a height of 100 feet, but in attempt
ing to make a turn the plane tipped
and he fell to the ground. The
crowd witnessed the aviator trying to
right his machine. He struck the
earth with the engine above him.
His wife and little girl were witness
es of the accident and Mrs. Frisbie
was Frustrated when she saw her
husband killed.

FIANCEE, KILLS SELF
Suicide of Wealthy ST. Louis Man in
New York Hotel.

New York, Sept. 2.-While wait
ing here to meet his fancee upon
her return from Europe, Daniel E.
Garrison, Jr., a member of one Of the
most prominent and wealthy families
in St. Louis, committed suicide to-
day because he believed that he was
too i'll to marry.
When his body was found to-day,
shot through the head, at the Wal
dorf-Astoria, there were two letters
beside him. In one the suicide told
his father that he would rather die
than to continue to suffer and that
it would be unjust to his f1ancee to
marry her in his present state OF
health. The other letter was written
by the girl he expected to marry
and urged him to "cheer up and
think of "the better days to come y
Mr.. Garrison's father and his son
by his first marriage, who came here
with him yesterday, declined to tell
his fancee's name, saying that this
course was best for all concerned.
She is expected to arrive from Europe
either to-day or tomorrow. Her
letter was dated August and writ
ten while abroad. It was signed
"Mary."
The suicide left a note addressed
to his father, saying that he would
rather be dead than suffer any longer
the pains of kidney trouble, hay fever
and asthma. The body was found by
his son when he went to call him for
breakfast. Mr.. Garrison lay in bed
wearing his night clothes, with a
pistol by his side and bullet hole
over the right ear. None heard the
shot.
Mr.. Garrison, Jr., went to the the
atre last evening with his son, and
when the father returned he seemed
in excellent spirits. He asked his
son to call him in the morning, say
ing that be, might be able to take an
interesting boat ride to-day. The
Garrison family is one of the most
prominent and wealthiest of st.
Louis.

STOPS SALE OF BAD MEAL.
Commissioner Watson Issues Orders.
Many Samples Analysed.

Columbia, Aug. 31.-As a result
of the investigations by departmental
chemists, who have found and appear
to be still finding dangerous corn
meal on the market throughout the
State, orders Withholding large guam
titles of corn meal from sale have
been issued and will be served at
once by inspectors of the State de-
partment of agriculture, commerce
and industries.
Commissioner Watson said to-day
that out of 80 samples analyzed only
seven were shown to be fit for 1000
in the analysis submitted to him
this morning. Fifteen of these
samples were drawn in Columbia.
ONLY three of the Is were shown to
be safe: 12 ran considerably above
the 80 c. c. mark, which is fixed as
the maximum limit. Out of the 80
samples, in addition to the seven
found to be satisfactory, another
seven showed acidity ranging be-
tween 20 and 40 c. c., 10 showed from
40 to so c. c. and eight were between
so and so c. c. These samples were
all of corn meal.
1t was said to-day at Commissioner
Watson's Office that so far all the
samples of corn grits or hominy
analyzed had been found safe. Corn
meal samples are being taken
throughout the State and each day
reports thereon from the chemist
are brought to Commissioner Wat
son by Chief Chemist Summers. In
every case where acidity above the
maximum is found orders withdraw
ing the damaged meal from the
market are served.
Further experiments are being
conducted at the laboratories to de-
termine whether or not meal deterlo-
rates after it is kept in stock. The
millers who have shipped in
the corn meal found to be dan
gerous are taking the matter up with
the department and are protesting
that their products were made from
good corn and that they use every
precaution.
It was stated this morning that in
spectors YESTERDAY finished taking
SAMPLES in Sumter. These have been
sent into the laboratories, and the
reports will be issued in a few days.
Inspectors are now preparing TO
make thorough canvass of Charles
ton, where they will take samples
of corn products from all the supply
houses, Just as was done in Colum-
bia.
Among the other reports received
from the laboratories the chemists
reported on a number of samples
taken in Pendleton, Lake City, Swan
sea, Greenville, Marion and Spar
tanburg. Practically all of these
places had some deteriorated meal,
according to the chemists, but the
condition appears to have been found
especially bad in Greenville and Spar
tanburg. Five samples taken in
each of these places were badly de-
Perforated and dangerous for, use as
food. Orders have been given with
holding these goods from sale.
No prosecutions have yet been be-
begun, and none will be until all the
evidence is in hand from the chemi-
lists.

FREAKISH DOINGS OF WIND.
Cyclones Pluck Chickens and Undress
Children.

IlGy nave SlOIuuS SOu0IAAhSo AA
this part of the country, but in Okla
homa they have cyclones. A cyclone
is a storm, but storm is not
cyclone. For instance it takes 36
hours for wind to do any damage
in this part of the world. In Okla
homa it takes about twelve seconds.
There was the cyclone at Snyder, a
few years ago. That broke all rec
ords for freak pranks by the wind.
Snyder was a prosperous and happy
community one minute. The next
and 1872 people were dead. 1t all
happened in the course of a few Sec
onds.
The most popular man in town was
a preacher. He lived on the outskirts
of the place with his bride Of a few
months. Their most treasured pos
session was a grand piano, gift
from the brides father. When the
tornado hit the place it swooped down
on the preachers house and lifted 1t
up as if it were piece of paper, not
from the foundations, but from the
first floor. Magazines that lay on the
table in the parlor were not touched
or moved an inch, nor was anything
on that first floor. There remained
the piano, the sheet music open on
it, the scarf undisturbed. The car
pets were left on the floor. 1t was
simply a furnished house on a plat
form, minus pictures on the walls.
The cyclone went on down to a
hardware store, the best in Okla
homa. The sides were strong brick
walls. The front and back were en-
tirely of glass. Through that front
and back the wind went. It touched
nothing in the scond story, not even
breaking a glass, but it took every
piece of hardware there was on the
ground floor and none of it has been
seen since. It was if hundred men
had suddenly swooped down on the
place and taken everything out.
A school teacher in the country
nearby was crossing a bridge with
six of the children. Down came the
cyclone. It took every stitch OF
clothing, including stockings and
shoes, off every one of them, but it
did absolutely no damage to their
persons or to the bridge. They just
stood there, naked but unharmed,
wondering what it was all about.
At a. farm house little further
on, the cyclone drove a spade seven
and one half inches into an oak tree
and it took two mules and a stump
pulling machine to get it out. More
than that. It took wheat straw and
drove it end foremost clear through
a four and one-half inch plank. The
straw was hollow and could be blown
through after penetrating the plank.
On the same farm every chicken had
every feather taken off, but not one
was killed or really injured. The
feathers came back later, not the
same ones, but a new crop. All these
things were done in the course of a
few seconds. Then the cyclone dis
appeared and was heard of no more.
There is great difference between
a storm and a cyclone. Folks who
live in the cyclone territory seldom
have time to get to their cellars.
Moreover, cyclones are never predict
ed by the weather bureau, possibly
because the bureau does not like
them, and possibly because it knows
nothing about them. That is the
chief resemblance, many experts
think between storms and cyclones.

LYNCHING IN THE NORTH.
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and New York
Have Witnessed Mob Violence.

Northern States, and especially
those forming the southern tier OF the
territory, which, since the civil war
has continued to be called north have
not been free from lynchings in the
last twenty years. New York State
furnishes only one lynching in that
period. This was at Port Jervis on
June 2, 1897, when negro was
hanged by a mob for an attack on a
girl. Iowa has had one lynching as
recently as January 1907, when a
wife murderer, James Cullen, was
taken from the jail at Charles City
and hanged by a mob.
PENNSYLVANIA where the latest
lynching has occurred has one other
similar act by a mob. On March Is,
1894, at Strousburg, a negro by the
name of Richard Puryear was hang
ed for the murder of white man af-
ter he had escaped from jail.
Delaware furnishes another in
stance. At Wilmington mob burn
ed a negro at the stake on June 22,
1903, for the murder of the 17-year-
old daughter of minister.
Instances of mob violence in ILL
nois, Indiana, and Ohio, are numer-
Gus. On August 19, 1907, a tramp
was killed by crowd of farmers in
Cook county, ILL.,, for an attack on a
woman while attempting robbery.
On April 26, 1908, near Santa Fe.,
ILL.,, mob hanged an unidentified
negro boy for an attack on a 10-year-
old girl and then turned against ne
gro bridge workers near the town,
shooting several. In Cairo two ne
groes were lynched on the night of
November II, 1909. One of them
was taken after an attack on the jail.
In the same town there was an at
tempt to lynch a negro purse snatch
er but the mob was driven back by
the sheriff. One man was killed and
four were wounded. Springfield, the
capital of Illinois, was the scene of
violent race wars in 1906 and 1908,
state troops had to be called out both
times to restore order.
A case of mob violence occurred in
Ohio at the town of Newark on July
8, of last year. Carl Etherington, an
anti-saloon league detective confined
to the jail for shooting saloonkeep-
er in a raid, was taken from the jail
and lynched. Other lynchings in the
State have occurred at Kenton, April
10, 1901, and at Millersburg, April
10, 1891. At Urbana battle was
fought with the jail authorities, in
which two citizens we're killed and
nine were wounded, when mob took
Charles Mitchell, negro, from the
jail and hanged him. At Springfield,
on March z, 1904, Richard Dixon, a
negro, was taken from the jail and
riddled with bullets by mob.
Indiana had lynching Of five men
in September, 1897. In Ripley coun-
ty mob took this vengeance on a
gang that had robbed and murdered
and for long time terrorized the
county. Two negroes were hanged at
Rockport in December, 1900. An
Evansville mob killed a negro on July
6,1903, after struggle with the state
militia, in which nine white men we're
killed.-New York Times.

 Those were exciting days when we fellows marched away to the tune of The Girl l Left Behind Me, and the worst of ir was that several of us were leaving behind the same girl.

These two were Ray mond Hall and another fellow who well. the other fellow was Jim Martin. Hall was desperately in love with the girl. but it was the other fellow who had taken her fancy-nObOdy knew why. for Hall was certainly the better man of the two.

MEN SHOOT
 STRANGER AND FLEE
New Arrival from East Has Thrilling Experience on
 Oracle Road

TUCSON, June 23-George Wal lace. a recent arrival from Los An geles, was held up by two unknown MeXicans al o'clock last night near the Rillito river on the Oracle road. and was shot twice. One bull let passed through the left shoulder penetrating the body and lodging just under the skin of his back. The other pierced his left arm. Both bullets were extracted today by Dr. A. W Olcott at St. Mary's hospital where Wallace was taken after the shoot ing.
 When the wounded man emerged from under the influence of the sur geOn's anaesthetic. he made a state ment of his version O fthe hold-up.
 He was walking toward the city on the Oracle road about eight miles from town, he said, when he was overtaken by to MeXicans in a wagon. They said they were coming into Tucson and offered him a ride, which he accepted. After the three had ridden a short distance, Wallace said the Mexicans held him mp. in tending apparently to rob him of his money Of which he had little or none. Just what course they decided upon then he was unable 10 tell, not understanding Spanish They shot him almost immediately, however. After that he knew nothing until two ranchers of the Rillito valley, names unknown, found him lying in the road in a pool of blood and took him to the hospital Nothing has since been heard of the hold-up men.
