A'traeY efsAFeoen. ara rsafs was the
first shower of any consequence that
had visited this section in several
weeks it not only brought respite
from the intense heat, but helped fall
gardens and benefited to limited
extent cotton, corn and other agri-
cultural products.
Cotton and corn, however, are in
such bad shape that enc plants are in
most instances beyond resuscitation.
The flood which visited this section
in July washed up thousands Of
plants, and in addition to damage
from this source cotton has suffered
materially from boil weevil ravages.
The insects are scattered practically
throughout the entire county, and the
damage to the crop resulting from
their ravages and from the flood is
estimated at between 60 and rs per
cent.

Loss or $3.50 PER BALE
HAS BEEN EXPERIENCED
DURING PAST WEEK
ESTIMATE SHOWS
HEAVY GINNING
Total Of 850,032 Bales Had
Been Picked and Packed up
to September I.

A sharp reaction has followed the
buoyancy which permeated the cot
ton market during the closing days
of August, and the past week has
witnessed comparatively steady de-
cline in prices, the total loss having
amounted to about $50 points, which
is tantamount TO something like $3.50
per bale.
A bearisk ginning repor on Friday
had the effect of helping along the
downward trend in prices. II was
generally known that ginnings had
been rather heavy, and report Of
something like 100000 was antiei-
pated, but the government figures
showing that s50,032 bales had been
ginned prior to September / was so
bearish in its nature that heavy sell
ing Immediately followed and the
market took another slump.
A report that the cotton exchange
in Liverpool may soon close its
doors has been another potent fac
tor in weakening the market. There
is general belief in England that pres
ent prices are entirely too high, and it
is contended that these prices have re-
suited largely from the activities on
the part Of the English spinners, who
have been insstent in their demands
for cotton and who for several weeks
have kept the market firm by con-
tinued purchases of the staple.
Yesterdays session brought anoth-
the markst, the total loss on the day
having been between is and 20 points.

DR.. KIMCANMON DEFENDANT
IN A $4,000 DAMAGE SUIT
FORMER PRESIDENT OF INDUS,
TRIAL INSTITUTE AND COL
LECE IS SUED.

The Memphis News-Scimitar of
Thursday publishes an article stating
sht suit he's been Tiled in the circuit
court of Shelby county, Tenn,
against DR.. A. A. Kincannon, superin-
tendent of the public schools of Mem
phis, and j. G. Kincannon. by Melvin
Rice, former assistant secretary of
the city board of education, in which
he asks damages in the sum of $40, 900
for alleged false Imprisonment and i'm
timidation.
DR.. Kincannon was for many years
president of the Industrial Institute
and College in this city, and his
friends here believe that he possesses
too much honor and manhood to in
dulge in such conduct as is charged by
Rice. The story appearing in the
News-Scimitar follows:
Claiming that he was held
prisoner in his own office under
dire threats from Prof. A. A. Kin
cannon, superintendent Of the city
schools, and J. c. Kincannon, Jr.,
Melvin Rice, former assistant secre-
tary to the city board of education,
Thursday filed suit in the circuit
court asking for $4,000 damages
against the defendants.
According to the declaration filed
by Rice, Prof. A. A. Kincannon and
j. c. Kineannon, Jr., on Aug. is,
1916, went to his office, entered the
same in mandatory, menacing man.

and members Of the city board of ed

"The bill recites that the defend
ants said to Rice that he would have
one hour to carry out these demands
or dire punishment would be meted
out to him.
"Rice alleges in his bill that he had
reason to believe that both the Kin

statements Bowen might have made
against Prof. Kincannon was an af-
fair over which he had no personal
control s. L. Cockroft is attorney

ENROLMENT At COLLEGE
To Be UNUSUALLY LARGE
ALL TEACHERS AND SOME STU.
DENTS WILL BE FORCED TO
SEEK HOMES

The thirty-seeond annual session of
the Mississippi Industrial Institute
and College will open on Tuesday
September 10, and the number OF
letters received from prospective stu
dents indicates a record-breaking at.
tendance
Applications for admission have
been so numerous that all members
of the faculty have beer notified
that they will not be permitted to oc-
cupy apartments in the dormitories
Heretofore a limited number Of
teachers have slept in the dormito-
ries and take their meals at the col
lege dining hall, but the demand for
rooms on the part of prospective stu
dents has been so great this year
that all the dormitory space is to be
reserved for them, and instructors
will be forced to secure aceommoda-
tons in the numerous boarding hous-
es which surround the campus.
Not only will members Of the col
lege faculty be compelled to seek
boarding houses as places of dom
age but it is likely that some of the
students will also be forced TO seek
similar quarters. In alloting space
in the dormitories preference will be
given students who are residents Of
Mississippi, and those who come from
other states will be required to Sc
cure lodgings in boarding houses.
