guilty of the charge of shooting her hus'

The verdict was reached after two
hours deliberation, during which the ac-

of one in her position. When she was
supported into the court room just before
the entrance of the jury, Mrs, Grace ap-
peared to be bordering on collapse. Trem-

to the chair she had occupied all dur

COTTON ADVANCED
IN MOST SECTIONS
TEXAS DETERIORATED ON AC.
COUNT OF DRY, HOT WEATHER.
FEW INSECT COMPLAINTS
Boil Weevil in Infected Territory, but
Damage Is Small-Crop Has
Reached Limit Of Progress
Without More Moisture.

The cotton crop advanced in all sec
tIons Of the belt save Texas and Georgia
during the last week.
In Texas there was considerable de-
terloratlon on account OF dry weather,
with extraordinarily high temperatures
dung the first half of the week. The
plant shielded many blooms, squares and
young bolls and many Of the older bolIs
were caused to open prematurely.
In Georgia perhaps 50 per cent of the
crop advanced, while the other SO per
cent deteriorated on account of dry, hot
weather, making the condition OF the
state as a whole about a standoif with
last week. In some localities where i'm
provement was noted the limit of ad-
vancement was reached without rains.
In the remainder OF the belt good
progress was made, the advancement
having been most marked in the central
valley and the states west of the Mis-
sissisppi river outside of Texas. The
plant grew well and fruited in a salts
factory manner While the plant will
probably never attain a full growth as
compared with other years, there are in
dications that it will make up for lack
of size by f~ruiting heavily. This is
especially true in Western states. In
Eastern states the plant is large and
fruiting not so good.
Insect damage to the crop to date has
been negligible, although boil weevil are
reported in moderate quantities from
nearly all infected districts. Save for
Louisiana, the West is remarkably free
from this pest and his appearance east
of the river has been mainly confined
TO the central valley.
