COTTON YIELD 12,OOO,OOO BALES
Cotton Condition Reported By United
 States as 69.2 Per cent.

Washington, Aug. 30.-Drouth fol- , lowed by excessive rains in the cotton , belt during August caused deteriorat- ion slightly more than the August av- craze to the growing cotton crop. The department of agriculture today an- 1 nounced the condition as 692 per cent of a normal. That is 61 per cent be- low the July condition.
 Unofficial calculations based on government averages for yield, condi- | tion and acreage place the crop at Ill., S17,235, equivalent 5O0-pound bales against 16,134,93O bales last year. While no official statement explana- tory of the cotton figures was fcrth- coming from the department of agri- culture. Leon M. Estobrook, chief of the bureau of crop estimates, an- nounced unofficially that the report indicated yield this season of ap- proximately 11,SOO,0OO bales of cotton, as compared with an actual product ion of 16,135,93O bales last season.  The condition of 69.2 estimated tc.- day, as compared with 75.3 on July 25, month ago, MT. Estabrook ex- plained, is trifie more of a decline than normal If the f1gures had been the same in todays estimate as on July 25 there would be an actual in- crease. There is always decline be- tween the July and August estimates. The figures today indicate today in- dicate yield of approximately 11,SOO,- 900 bales which is slightly less than the forecast of last month. The ac- tual cutturn for the 1914 season, as shown by the census figures, was 16,- 135.290 bales.
 There is an estimated decrease in acreage of Is per cent, due to the collapse of the market in the abnor- nal condition respecting cotton dur ing the past year. The drop in con dition percentage from 75 per cent in July to 69 in August is due to the un- favorable weather during the last month. and the reduction of about 40 per cent in the amount of fertilizer us- ed in the cotton fields.

ISLAND g YERITABLE FORTS
Residents Planned to Resist Attack
 Say Witnesses in UceO!a Court.

Osceola, Aug 28.-Testimony that the houses on Island 37 were veritable forts and that cnly a company of mili- tia could have raided the island ex- cept by taking it by su. .-ise, as did Sheriff Sam D. Mauldin, when he lost his life July 31, former an interesting feature of the trials of Bob and T. F. KentCa and Dave Hearne, charged with complicity in the murder of tine sheriff.
 The prosecution introduced its most important witnesses in the trial in cir cult court today. It attempted to prove that there was conspiracy be- tween Hearne, Sam Moore and Andy Crum, who was lynched in Jail here, and that the object of the conspir- acy was to kill Sheriff Mauldin. Buch- anan, the negro also under indictment as an accomplice, was the star wit ness. He said he had heard of three defendants and other residents of the
 
 and had heard them declare that they would never be taken alive. He said all went heavily armed and that when Hearne slept, he (Buchanan) was kept on guard with a pump gun and with instructions to shoot to kill if the off cers appeared.
 The defense presented only two Wit nesses. J. A. Osborne, Crum's step father, an islander, who is under sen- tence to pay $10,000 fine and spend 600 days in jail as result of his con- victicn on 20 charges of running blind tiger, testified that he paid taxes | in Tennessee.
 John Lovewell, former Mississippi county sheriff, testified that he had never attempted to exercise authority over Island 37 and had collected no taxes there.
