Orangeburg, June 24.-Norman HI.
Boliver, white married man 26 years
old, was convicted here late today of
attempted criminal assault and SEN
fenced to die in the electric chair at
the State penitentiary July S.
The crime was committed May 13,
the victim being a little girl, nine
years Old. She and her siser were
on their way to school that morning
when they were picked up by Boliver
and driven in an automobile to a
nearby patch of woods. The younger
sister, who was just seven years old
the day the crime was committed,
was made to stay in the automobile
while the older of the two children
was taken by Boliver to the clump Of
bushes under the pretext of gathering
plums.
Boliver was unmoved by the SEN
tence and made no reply when Judge
Robert w. Memminger asked the
prisoner if there were any reasons why
the death sentence should not be inn
posed. Throughout the day he MAIN

able features giving no indication Of
perturbation.
No motion was made by attorneys
for new trial, but an appeal can be
made to the supreme court within ten

COTTON CROP CONDITION.

Early Arrival of Boil Weevil in

(Memphis Commercial-Appeal June

(Memphis Commercial-Appeal June
24.)
The condition of the cotton crop in
the 10 principal producing States, as
of date June %. was S4.9 per cent,
according to information sent in by
Commercial Appeal correspondents.
This, compared with the govern
ments report as of May 25. which was
1878 per cent, shows improvement 1t
compares with an official condition
of 1913 as of June rs last year and a
10-year average Of 1913.
The weather during the past 80 days
has been almost ideal, but scarcity OF
labor has interfered with timely cul-
tivation to great extent, although
fields generally are clean.
Many correspondents report that
the crop has made fair progress, but
no Improvement; others that it has
simply held it's own, while some say
the crops in their sections are less
promising than they were a month
ago.
There has been some abandonment
of acreage in Georgia due to fear Of
the boil weevil, and in other sections
for other causes.
Dry weather is said to have some-
what checked growth in some parts OF
Texas, but generally high tempera-
lures which prevailed throughout the
belt were considered beneficial. Lack
Of rainfall was not serious enough in
any section to cause much damage,
and was also regarded as beneficial
because the scarcity of labor was
thereby somewhat offset.
Farmers say they expect to prolong
field work this year in an effort to
preserve moisture and as a means OF
combating the boil weevil.
Blooms are reported from practical
ly all sections of the belt, although
some planting was still going on in
Northwest Texas
Insects have caused no great dam
age, although boil weevil has reap
peared in large numbers in Georgia
and is also becoming active in Ala
oama, Mississippi. Louisiana and Tex

Secretary Baker estimated today
that between SIS and 20 per cent of the
men already shipped are combating
troops In the strictest sense of the
word. The first division has now been
expanded to a fighting force OF $780,
600 men. backed by an organization
OF the supply and transport lines that
Il takes 100000 men to make effec-
tive.
On this basis, II is clear that Gener-
nj Pershing now has under his COM
mand the substance OF the first field
army. comprised Of IS infantry divis-
ions. with all necessary auxiliary
troops. So far as known there has
been no opportunity yet for the actual
formation OF this army as a military

probably Is not distant when 1t will be

There never has been an Official
statement OF the vast schemes OF

but the scope OF the plans now begins
to become apparent
The location OF the strictly Ameri-

whole project rests on the assignment

holding the right flank. as British
armies hold the left leading to the
channel ports. leaving France free t.

In addition 20 5000 miles of sea be-

Americans have had to prepare NOR
