FOREIGN CROPS.

The Department ofAgriculture has
issued the following statement re-
speeding foreign crop prospects about
\ August L:
Cereal harvest was in progress dur
ing July over great part of the north
ern hemisphere and, excepting in one
or two important producing countries,
the results do not seem to be varying
materially from earlier anticipations.
In western Canada spring-wheat pros
poets appear to have maintained their
excellent promise in Saskatchewan and
Alberta, but black rust is recently re-
ported, though not officially confirmed,
in Manitoba. The condition of spring
wheat at the end of July was put at 80
for the whole of Canada against u last
year. the range in the 3 western prov
inces being from 80 to 81 this season -
compared with one Of from Sc to Us q
year ago. The total yield of winter
wheat is estimated by the Dominion
Department of Agriculture at II, 7O6, 900
bushels compared with 16,6lO,0OO in
1910.
Cereal harvest in Europe had at the
beginning of August reached the lati-
tudes of the British Isles. From the
present somewhat vague indications
the total European wheat crop is not
likely to equal that of last year.
In western Europe, as whole, the
prospects are for average, or possibly
better than average yields; in the I'm
tied Kingdom and France quantitative
estimates are not yet available, but
the trend of popular opinion is toward
confidence in about an average outturn
of wheat of excellent quality, with
crops of rye, and especially oats not
quite up to that standard. Spain and
Italy have each announced banner
crops of wheat; the former reports l57
million bushels against 1877 million in
1910 and former record yield of l44
million bushels in 1909; the later estim-
ates the current crop at 1877 million
bushels against 153 million year ago
and 100 million in 1909.
In central Europe cereal yields, ow-
ing to favorable weather, will probably
be better than at one time anticipated.
In Belgium wheat promises better than
last year. In Germany and Austria,
however, neither wheat nor rye prom
Use quite so we'll as in 1910, and in the
first-named country the outlook for oats
is very discouraging; wheat in Hun
gary has greatly improved and prom
Uses to surpass the 1859 million bushel
crop of last year; the barley and oats
crops are also officially rated as super
ior TO year ago, but rye is this season
deficient.
The agricultural situation in Russia
seems during August to have been
greatly modified. Prolonged drought
in western Siberia and in the eastern
provinces of European Russia is report
ed to have resulted in great losses.
The actual extent of the damage, how
ever, must necessarily be in doubt un-
til the issuance of the official figures.

May Have Women on Force.

Trenton, N. j., March 16.-There
will be regular women members of
the police force of every New Jersey
city and town next year, il bill
pending in the legislature is passed.
The executive committee of the
Equal Franchise league has started a
campaign in support of the bill and
every woman's club in the State will
join the movement.
The bill provides for the appoint
ment of women to the police force in
every municipality in the State. 1t
Is not framed with the intention of
having the women police perform all
the functions now performed by the
male officers, but it specifies that they
may be assigned for duty in dance
halls, moving picture theaters, pub
lie parks, recreation centers, etc.
In ~ cities of the United States
the plan of having women policemen
has been tried with excellent results,
according to the supporters Of the
bill.

Brigand in Glad Rags.

Rome, March 15.-Ballo, a noto-
rious Sicilian brigand, has been cap
tured at Palermo as he was leaving
the opera accompanied by gorge
ously bedlzened woman and his "sec-
retary,'' Finezzo. 1t was the habit
of Ballo, who had amassed great
wealth by pillage and blackmail, to
array himself as a society "blood"
and frequent the theaters and cafes
Of Palermo when he felt so inclined.
This time he drove to the opera
house in a magnificent automobile,
but as the party was stepping from
the auto, they were pounced upon by
a party of policemen and carabinieri.
Before he was overpowered Ballo
shot and killed one of the officers.
Ballo's exploits had become pro-
verbal for their audacity. About
10 murders are laid to his charge,
and he had worsted the troops in
several encounters. He is said to
have drawn an income of some $780,
900 a year by levying blackmail on
two Sicilian provinces.

MUST SERVE FIVE YEARS.
Despite Judge Gary's Ridicule of Hip
Pocket Defense.

Judge Ernest Gary, of Columbia,
ridiculed the hip pocket defense"
in his charge to the Lexington coun-
tv grand jury, but because some of
the veniremen, afterwards drawn at
that term as petit jurors in the trial
of W. B. Glenn, for the murder OF
Clinton Rhoden at Batesburg, March
"a last, happened to hear the charge,
Glenn was not necessarily entitled to
new trial. So ruled the supreme
court Thursday, in affirming the SEN
tence of five years Imprisonment in
the penitentiary, which Judge Gary
imposed at Lexington June 18 last.
Hit Glenn's Defense.
Judge Gary did not suspect, at the
time he made his general charge, that
in one of the cases to be passed on at
the same term the very defense he
ridiculed would be offered. The su-
preme court deems it absurd to con-
tend that the courts remarks to the
grand jury prejudiced any of the
legal rights of the defendant Glenn.
Decision below is affirmed and the
Glenn appeal dismissed. Glenn will
now be brought to the penitentiary
to commence service of his sentence,
if no motion for new trial is made on
the ground of after-discovered evi-
dence.
The Old Plea.
Glenn and Rhoden quarreled in
Batesburg and a fist fight ensued,
which terminated when Glenn drew a
pistol and shot Rhoden to death
Glenn is a white man and so was
Rhoden. Glenn's defense was that
Rhoden threw his hand to his hip
pocket, and that he himself then
fired, believing his life to be in i'm
minent danger, because he thought
Rhoden about to produce a pistol.
Glenn was convicted of manslaughter
and sentenced, as stated, to serve
five years at hard labor in the peni-
tentiary

Too Harsh With Him.

Along a country road walked a
man and woman. The latter, a
gaunt, stern-faced female, was bully
ing the little fellow who trudged
just in front of her, with downcast
head.
Suddenly the woman, turning, saw
bull racing down the road behind
them. She quickly took refuge in the
hedge, but her companion, uncon-
scious of aught but his woes, kept on
his way.
The bull caught up to him and sent
him spinning into a muddy ditch,
then continued on it's wild career.
AS the woebegone figure crawled out
of the mire he saw his better half
coming toward him. Plucking up a
little spirit he whimpered:
"M-M-Maria, if you hit me like
that a-g-g-gain you'll really get my
temper up, so I warn ye. e.'-Ideas.

Goes Off with Strangers.

Newberry, March 15.-There IS
some excitement out in the Deadfall
section of the county, about 10 miles
west of Newberry, over the disap-
pearance yesterday morning Of Ber-
tina Taylor, the 14-year-old daughter
of Noah Taylor. The particulars are
very hard to obtain here. This much
is known:
She was on her way to school with
other children when two men drove
up in a buggy. One of them called to
her to come close to the buggy. She
did so and he whispered something
to her. She then handed her books
and satchel to another girl standing
by and got into the buggy with the
men, who drove off and she has not
been seen at home since. Inquiry of
several persons in that section of the
county fails to reveal the identity of
the kidnappers or their purpose. The
girls mother is dead and it is sup
posed that the "kidnappers" were rel
atives of her mother If this is true
their purpose may be to give her a
more congenial home and take care
of her.
Her father is not altogether in his
right mind at times.
It is said that she has been writing
and receiving letters recently, and
the readiness with which she got in
to the buggy and drove off with the
men would indicate that she under
stood the situation and was prepared
to 60.

Ten Probably Killed.

Nashville, March 16.-While the
searchers are busy at the j. H. Fall
building, the walls of which collapsed
yesterday during high wind, killing
IL negroes and one white man and
injuring IA, all hope of taking any
other workmen out alive has been
abandoned.
It is believed that probably eight
or ten bodies will be recovered. 1t
is claimed that half a dozen negro
workmen were observed in the CEN
ter of the building where the debris
is thickest, just few minutes be-
fore the crash came.
It is also understood that probably
several idlers and on-lookers who
usually hang about such places talk
ing to the workmen were caught by
the walls.

OPPOSE A PARDON.
Say Stripping Killed Three Men While
Chief of Police.

Atlanta, Ga, March 16.-That Ed
gar Stripping will not be taken from
the Muscogee county Jail and placed
in a convict camp before his applica-
ton for pardon is heard on April s,
is practically assured.
Attorney T. T. Miller, Of Colum-
bus, consulted with Gov Brown this
morning, and afterwards stated TO
the newspaper men that Gov. Brown,
under advice of the attorney general
had decided not to respite Stripping
until the hearing, owing to the Pc
culiar circumstances under which
Stripping rested.
AS Stripping is theoretically in the
penitentiary, the governor feels that
any respite he might issue would
have a tendency to complicate the
ease, and he is unwilling to assume
that responsibility.
It is now in the province Of the
prison commission to say whether
Stripping shall stay in jail or go to
the penitentiary. But there is very
little probability of an assignment be-
fore the hearing on April 6.
Petitions are being circulated in
Atlanta by interested parties, and it
is understood that very few people
decline to sign them readily. Flynn
Hargett, formerly of Columbus, is
active in behalf of Stripping, and has
had much to do with circulating petit
tions and arousing public interest.
His brother, Rev. G. L. Hargett, of
Harris county, was foreman of the
grand jury that indicted Stripping.
He has written the governor letter
asking him to pardon Stripping. Elev-
en- Of the IL jurors are still living,
and all that have been found signed
a petition for pardon.
Virginia papers are opposing a
pardon for STRIPPING. One of the
Danville papers recently contained a
lengthy editorial assigning reasons
why Stripping should not be pardon
ed. A clipping from the Richmond
Times-Dispatch reached Gov. Brown
to-day. 1t was an editorial written
by Mai. Hemphill, in which vigorous
reasons were given against a pardon
for Stripping. 1t is stated in the edi-
torial that Stripping killed two ne
groes and one white man while serv-
ing as a police officer in Danville, and
while it was done in the discharge of
his official duties, most people believe
all three killings could have been pre-
vented by a less passionate man. At
tention is also called to the fact that
Stripping was known to be man of
most violent temper, and was usually
dangerous in that mood.
Among State papers, the Rome
Tribune-Herald comes out editorially
against pardon for the Harris coun-
u man.

CHARGES AGAINST BAILEY.
Statement Made in Public Meeting in
Illinois.

Denunciation of Lorimer and of
Shelby NJ. Cullom for voting to keep
Lorimer in the senate continue the
order Of the day in Illinois. But at
mass meeting in Elgin a sensation
was sprung by the introduction of the
name of Senator Bailey in such man
ner as to place accusers plainly with
in the grasp of the law unless the
charges of dishonorable conduct by
the Texas senator can be proved. 1t
is almost inconceivable that the
charge is true; SANDER can be no
more cruel.
The Rev. Milton B. Williams, pas
tor of the First Methodist church of
Elgin, spoke to the mass-meeting as
follows:
Before I came to this meeting /
was called up on the telephone by
gilt-edged Elgin business man, man
who has Important connections with
fnanciers of the first magnitude. He
was unable to come here, but he ask
ed me to make a statement for him.
He said he knew for a fact that the
enormous sum of s625,O00 had been
spent at the recent session Of con-
gress to secure the acquittal Of Sena-
tor Lorimer and that this money had
been put up by the Standard Oil
company and other big financial in
terests. OF this money Senator Bailey
got 100000. The man who made
this statement to me said that he
had his information from financiers
who ranked with J. Pierpont Morgan
and who knew exactly what they were
talking about. He said he had not
a doubt as to the truth of the state
ment."
Later in the evening, D. E. Postle,
a member of the firm of architects,
Postle & Maher, said he gave Mr..
Williams the information; but would
go no further in light-shedding.
If this story has no better founda-
ton than most of the senatorial
years reaching newspaper reporters,
a very grave injury has been done
Senator Bailey. The fact that Mr..
Bailey had years ago been associated
in the public mind as Standard Oil
attorney might furnish ground for
the manufacture of a report such as
that published by Mr.. Williams.
The only disquieting circumstance
in this connection, of which we have
knowledge, is that it was asserted to
The States Washington correspond
ent in December, soon after the be-
ginning of the session of congress,
that Senator Bailey would speak in
defense of Lorimer-as he did about
nine weeks later-and that Standard
Oil had issued call to all with whom
it had influence to rally to Lorimer's
support State.

reeled back defeated. During the
four days, almost without moment
for food or sleep, the defenders fought
off the charging horde. It seemed
well nigh impossible that so furious
an onset by so vast an army could be
repelled by a comparatively small
garrison. But the defenders were
fighting for home and religion.
On the fifth day of the assault (Oc-
tober 14) Solyman gave up the at
tempt to crush Vienna. He with
drew sullenly from the scene of his
defeat, leaving $4,000 dead Turks on
the field. The price of conquest was
for once too high for him.
: Vienna was saved. And not only
Vienna, but Europe. Vienna had been
Europe's barrier against the Turks
farther advance. And the barrier
held firm. The northern limit of Eu-
ropes Turkish raids was reached.
Once more, in later years, Vienna
was besieged by the Moslems and she
again beat them off. The high tide
of such invasion had come and re-
ceded Europe at large was now for
ever secure from this long-dreaded
foe.
