MILLION BALES
IN PRESENT COTTON CROP
Government Report Indicates Sudden
Decrease in Prospects Owing to
Damage During July-Condi-
tiOn in South Carolina
Placed at SIS.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Heavy dam
age to the growing cotton crop be-
tween June 25 and July 25 has caused
a reduction of 1,350,0OO bales in the
prospective production. The August
cotton report of the department of
agriculture, announced today, in
dicated production of 12,916,OOO
equivalent 500 pound bales COM
pared with ID 100000 bales forecast
from the condition of the crop June
%. The condition during the month
dropped s.S to 1928 per cent of a
normal.
Reviewing cotton conditions for the
month, the bureau of crop estimates
said: "The month ending July 25 has
been only fair for cotton in most of
the belt west of the Mississippi river
and in Tennessee and unfavorable
east of the river and in Louisiana.
Rains in the drought stricken
southern coastal region of Texas per-
mitted the planting of &. considerable
late acreage. The crop in the West
ern belt is we'll cultivated and mois-
ture conditions have been favorable,
oiIHouSh IilS hSSu lOT rain is no" De-
ginning to be felt
East of the Mississippi a severe
tropical storm through portions of
Florida, Alabama and Mississippi
early in July and an extremely heavy
downpour at mid-July in the Caro-.
linas, together with heavy and almost
constant rains during July throughout
the entire Eastern belt have put the
crop badly in the grass, leached out
much of already deficient amount of
fertilizer and greatly facilitated the
activity Of the boil weevil, where
present, and its continued spread. The
rains at the close of the period in
the Eastern belt were preventing
much needed cultivation"
Condition of the growing cotton
crop on July 25 indicates a total pro-
duction of 12,916,OOO equivalent 500
pound bales. That compares with
l4,266,O0O bales forecast last month
ty the bureau of crop estimates
basing it's calculations on the condi-
ton of the crop on June 25, and with
11,191, 800 bales, last years final pro-
duction, 1914, $50 in 1914, 14.156,-
1876 bales in 191 Sand 1903, ,421 bales
in 1912. The final output, however,
will be larger or smaller than above
forecast according as conditions here
after are better or worse than aver
la"e conditions.

PROPOSED LINE MUST
BE PUSHED TO SUCCESS

to realize that the heartiest coopera-
tion will be needed by the line on
every point; first, on the matter of
free rights of way; second, on the
matter of liberal stock subscriptions;
third, on the matter of free fran
chises; fourth, on the matter of prom
ises of business.
"The line, if it is built, will be an
independent proposition, cooperating
with all other railroad lines which it
touches, with no special support from
any line. Its greatest success and
largest earning capacity will be con-
served adhering to that policy. 1t is
highly probable that the line will be
received in friendly way by all rail-
roads with which it connects, pro-
vided only that it is not dominated
by one of the lines competing in the
Piedmont section. 1t must be s. peo-
ple's railroad, owned, constructed and
operated by the people. If the people
do not give this cooperation, the line
will not be built. If they do give the
vooperation indicated above it GER
:airly will lbe built and built along
lines of which the people will be
proud.
cit is the writer's judbment that it
will be very profitable property, but
the degree of it's success will depend
upon the cooperation of the people. If
they do not own it, it will not be any
think like as great success. This ar
ticle is intended to demonstrate that
the Carolina Rapid Transit company
will live by the favor of the people of
the three counties and will exist by
thier activity and cooperation, and
without it that activity and coopera-
ton will not exist at all."-Spartan-
,urg Journal.

German Submarine
Passes Out to Sea

Norfolk, Va, Aug 2.-The German
merchant submarine Deutschland
passed out the Virginia capes st $3.50
o'clock tonight apparently unobserved
by the allied warships waiting for her
and, so far as known here, is now
safely on her homeward voyage. No
untoward incident marked the de-
parture of the giant submarine. She
was accompanied only by her tug and
a newspaper dispatch boat when she
began an 18 mile dash from lower
Chesapeake bay to the capes. After
proceeding slowly most of the way
down, she increased her speed at $3.50
and reached the capes just after dusk.
None of the allied cruisers was vis-
ible as she passed through.
Whether she submerged before
reaching the three mile limit is un-
known. The two accompanying boats
report that she disappeared unharmed
and apparently had clear field ahead
to point where she could submerge
in safety.
Within half an hour after the last
light of the Deutschland disappeared,
her tug, the Thomas F. Timmins, hove
into sight seeming satisfied with her
work and headed up Chesapeake bay
in the direction of Baltimore, from
which place the Deutschland sailed
yesterday, % days after her sensa-
tional arrival from Bremen.
The Bremen, sister ship of the
deutschland, reported due here with
the Deutschland's departure, thus far
has not appeared.
The Deutschland started for the
capes after arriving early today at a
cove up Chesapeake bay.
For several hours prior to the
Deutschland's final dash for the capes
she was hidden near Tangler island,
so miles above Cape Henry. The
steamer Somerset and the government
buoy tender Ivy reported during the
afternoon that they had passed her at
that point. The press boat then took
a position near the dividing point of
the Old Point and Cape Henry cham
nels and awaited the coming of the
undersea vessel.
Shortly before o'clock the first
sight of the craft was obtained. Ap-
parently she was about five miles
away and was low in the water, only
iser cori..;..tssvv sser.-z11
minis was short distance behind her
and they were running about seven
miles an hour. r..
When near the entrance to Mobjack

bay the Deutschland sighted the press
boat Snd Immediately reversed herself
and appeared to be making for the
bay. After running for about two
miles she again headed south and was
abreast of the Timmins and then both
vessels put on full steam ahead to-
wards the press boat. Suddenly thew
turned off as if to go down the Old
Point channel but when the dispatch
boat made for the same channel they
again changed their course and head
ed directly for Cape Henry.
AAssthe Deutschland came on it was
apparent that she was carrying a
false superstructure, slogly lower
than her coming tower. 1t was straw
colored and blended with the oil skin
coats worn by her crew who crowded
the deck. When about mile from
the press boat the submersible began
to clear away the false superstructure
and take soundings as if preparing to
dive. The Timmins moved ahead of
the undersea liner and signalled that
she intended to pass on the starboard
side. Immediately both vessels in
creased speed and put over to the
starboard.
4 The voyage of the Deutschland
down from Baltimore to Hampton
Roads was uneventful. A press boat
vhifh followed her out of the Balti-
more harbor last night was the only
craft that accompanied the submarine
and the Timmins down the bay and It
became disabled and had to give up
the chase early today.
= The Timmins came to Norfolk to-
night. Capt. Hinson, in a jubilant
mood, told how the submarine sub
merged about mile from shore, and
declared that one of the last acts of
the crew was to give three cheers for
"America and the American people,"
well, she's off and we'll on her
way back to the old country" he ex-
claimed.
The captain also declared that the
spbmersible again will go through the
English channel.
There is no chance of the English
cgui6ers finding the Deutschland" he
