GOVERNMENT REPORT
ON COTTON ACREAGE
Condition Report is Also
Coming

New Orleans, June 30.-This will be
a short week in the cotton market, as
both New Orleans and New York will
close Thursday night for triple holt
days in observance of independence
day. Because of this and the fact that
the July condition report and the an
nual government report on acreage
will he issued at IL o'clock New Or
leans time Thursday, the week VIII
probably be rather tame and devoted
to liquidation on both sides. Few
traders will care to increase their
lines over two important reports that
are followed by three days of mac
tivity.
So far as the acreage report is con-
cerned, the trade is not much interest
ed 1t has been quite generally set
tied that a moderate increase in the
area planted has come about and no
recent private estimates have been put
out to shake this belief. Should the
figures show any good departure from
what is expected a wild market might
result, for as matter of fact, the
entire cotton world has paid less at
tention to this important factor than
usual.
1t is also generally, or almost gen.
orally, conceded that the condition
figures will show moderate rise over
, last months percentage of 1911. Prob
ably the average of expectation points
! to an increase of about points which
would make the figures from 50 to go
II. some quarters it is thought that
| last months figures were altogether
|
too low, and that for that reason, a
higher percentage this month than is
really justified by crop conditions may
be expected. A year ago the condition
was put at S04 per cent, two years
ago at $50, and three years ago at
SO.7.
The weather will be watched close
! ly, although, of course, weather con-
ditions this week will have nothing to
do with the condition figures, which
will carry the crop down to June %.
Continued dry weather will increase
bullish sentiment, while rains will
help the bear side. Developments IN
the July position will be waited for
and that month is likely to continue
to dominate the entire market.

RAINS HELPED BREAK
DROUTH In COUNTY
They We're Not Heavy But
Well Distributed

Relief has come to the farmers OF
Sumter and to suffering humanity IL
the city in the rains that have fallen
during the past two days. In several
localities there were fine rains Sunday
while additional showers yesterday
were reported.
From Smithville to Plains, covering
fine agricultural section, there was
good rain Sunday and another yester-
day morning, the water standing in
burrows in the field in some places.
About Plains the rain was very greatly
needed, as there had been none in more
than a month, and crops had suffered
in consequence.
There was also a heavy rain yester-
day about DeSoto and other sections
of the Fifteenth district, while to-
wards Friendship and south of Ameri-
Gus towards the Lee county line, rain
was reported. These showers will give
a wonderful impetus to the growing
crops, particularly corn, which needed
it greatly.

MANY PRESIDENTS FOR
-.zasx --.~--77--srs
ERRORS IN NEWSPAPERS
Even Associated Press Makes
Mistakes

Atlanta, June 30.-The newspapers
which printed that many young Ia
dies participated in the Americas
iynching, when the kilograms should
have read many young lads" hal
distinguished precedent for their I'M
intentional error. Some of the big
gest bulls" in the history of world
journalism have occurred in that
way.
About a year and a half ago every
big newspaper in the United States
and Europe issued extras announcing
in flaming letters that the pope was
dead. The Associated Press handled
the item under Madrid, Spain date
line. Subsequent cables from the vati-
can direct announced that there was
absolutely no ground in the report,
which had gone around the whole
world and had been handled by every
reputable news service in the world
1t was later learned that the way it
happened was this: An under secre-
tary at the vatican who had a cousin
at the papal legation in Madrid, sent
him APP rivate telegram reading in
italian milo papa morte," meaning
my father is dead" and referring TO
his own father.
The telegram was pulled" in transit
and when it arrived it read, I'll papa .
morte," meaning the pope is dead"
And SO the tiny error of some obscure
telegraph operator caused the message
to be flashed through Christendom that
the pope of Rome was dead

FREEZE CREAM WITH
HAIL STONES IN GRADY
Window Glass Said to Have Been BrOk.
en- and Chickens Killed by
The Storm.

Thomasville, Ca, June 30-Wonder-
full tales come from over in Grady
county of hail which fell in certain Sc :
tons and lasted without melting for
five days and that the mercury played
around the hundred mark during thai
period. Some of the hail was gathere1
up and carried to the homes where
ice cream was frozen with it. Crops
in the immediate section where this
hail fell are reported as having been
badly damaged, chickens were killed
and window glass broken.
The hail is said to have fallen in a
section about three miles wide and tie
in length. There are traditions OF
similar hail storms in Thomas, but they
are rather beyond the memory OF the
oldest inhabitant," so the palm must
perforce be yielded to Grady .or the
hail story of the season up-to-date.
