COTTON CONDITION
544 SEPTEMBER Is
DECLINE OF 524, 900 BALES SINCE
AUGUST REPORT.
Total is 1O,696,000
During Past Month There Was De-
cline of Seven Points in
Condition.

Washington, Oct. "a drop of
$4,000 bales in the prospective crop
of cotton this year over the forecast
a month ago was indicated today in
the Department of Agriculture's
monthly report which placed the con-
dition of the crop on September % at
54.4 per cent. of normal and the to-
tai production at 10,696,00O bales.
During September there was decline
of Z points in the condition of the
crop compared with an average of
less than 5 points during the last ten
years.
In commenting on conditions the
department said they were generally
favorable in west and northwest Tex
as. Oklahoma. Tennessee and Missou-
ri and cotton made good progress. In
the remain .lg portion of the belt gen.
enrally unfavorable conditions pre-
vailed.
Boil weevils continue their ravages
in eastern Texas, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi, Alabama and Florida, extending
their territory in Georgia and South
eastern South Carolina and material
ly damaging the crop in southern
s Georgia, southern Arkansas and
southeastern Oklahoma.
The cotton caterpillar covered con-
siderable new territory west of Geor-
gia, damaging the crop materially
outside the weevil infested area.
The tropical hurricane caused
heavy loss of cotton in the territory
through which it passed, 100000
bales having been lost in southern
Texas
Picking is progressing rapidly in
some sections being practically COM
pleted. There is little complaint OF
lack of pickers except in western
Texas and Oklahoma High prices de-
manded by pickers is causing some
complaint, agents of the department
reporting that the pickers are more
Independent and less industrious than
in former years.
The indicated yield per acre and
forecast, of production by States fol-
lows:
Virginia 200 pounds and $4,000
. bales; North Carolina, 224 and $751;
000; South Carolina, 211 and 1871
600; Georgia, 14S and 1,547, 900;
Florida, "a and $4,000; Alabama,
1T and $4,000; Mississippi, 157
and $4,000; Louisiana, ia and
$4,000; Texas, 1873 and 2,s50,o0o;
Arkansas, 1T and $4,000; Tennes-
see, 1873 and 100000; Missouri, 277
and 70, 900; Oklahoma, 1913 ands9SS,-
600: California, 333 and 10000;
!, Arizona, 305 and 10000; all other
States 2s2 and 5000.
The picked avreage is estimated
32,390,000 and 4.6 per cent or l.
$4,000 acres less than the area esti-
mated in cultivation on June 25 this
year and is 10 per cent less than the
acreage picked last year.
Today's report included the fore
cast of production by States for the
first time in the history of the cotton
reporting by the Department of Agri-
culture.

said to be strong indications Of such
a relation. Only two whites were in
custody here today following the
weeks disorders.
A man named Fuller was brought
in from Postelle last night and placed
in the county jail. O. S. Bratton, Of
Little Rock, law firm, has been in
custody several days pending investi-
cation.

ing Territory.

ing Territory.
Greenville, Oct. 5. - Constant
search by officers and about 1000
citizens throughout the day failed to
result in the arrest up to an early
hour tonight of Joe Turner, negro,
who early this morning shot and kill
ed Policemen J. l.. Kitchen and A.
M. Blair, of the Greenville city police
force, while the officers were raiding
a gambling game in "Bucknertown"
one of the negro quarters of the city.
The raid was being made by three
officers. Sergt. Cooley, the third Of
ficer, stood at the window while
Kitchen went into the house, where
several negroes were engaged in
gambling. Kitchen was shot as soon
as he entered and died before he
could be taken to hospital. Officer
Blair, breaking into another door,
pursued Joe Turner, the negro who
did the shooting. out into the street.
The negro suddenly turned and shot
the officer, killing him almost instant
ly.
Friends of the dead officers say
that they are sure that the officer at
tempted to shoot the fleeing negro,
but that his revolver failed to work.
The negro made good his escape and
all through the city and county po-
lice Immediately instituted a thor.
ough and systematic search, they have
so far failed to catch him, though it
is believed tonight that his appre-
hension is certain.
Escaped From City.
It now seems definitely esta blished
that after the shooting the negro
made his way out of the city short
distance, where he boarded the first
Piedmont and Northern Railway train
leaving the city about Z O'Clock, pay
ing his fare to the conductor in cash
to Spartanburg.
Learning from the conductor that
he would be unable to make a con-
nection at Spartanbnrg with an early
Southern Railway train, the negro got
off the train at Suber Station, not far
from Greer and made his way toward
Pelham. The conductor notified the
Greenville police Immediately Of the
mans actions and search was COM
menced in that section of the county.
Acting upon the belief that the negro
was hiding in the Pelham vicinity,
hundreds of citizens, including num-
Der of the leading business men OF
Greenville and a large number Of res
idents of that section of the county,
took part in a search which kept up
Throughout the entire day. Virtually
all were armed, carrying all varieties
of weapons. A pair of bloodhounds
were brought into the case during the
early afternoon but without success.
Suspect is Arrested.
Information was received here to-
night that negro had been arrested
by Sheriff White, of Spartanburg, at
Hayne, early this morning and was
being held at Spartanburg as sus-
pect. Neither Greenville nor Spartan
burg authorities, however believe
that this man is the negro wanted.
He gives his name as George Howell
and, says his home is in Charlotte.
Citizens of this section are deeply
stirred over the double tragedy and
there seems to be no doubt that if the
negro is captured, determined effort
will be made to deal with him sum-
marily.

 The resolutions declared that car wing out of the wartime prohibition legislation and the proposed amend ment would destroy the property in- vOlved and would violate every prin- ciple of American justice and of con stitutional guarantees"
 It was further asserted that cOnsti- tutional lawyers of eminence have given their opinions that the proposed amendment "is inherently vicious and destroys the basic rights or local self. government which are the cornerstone upon which our constitution and the whole theory and structure of our gov ernment rests"
 Discussion of the anti-liquOr legis- lation by the distillers brought out their position against the proposed federal amendment as follows:
 First: It violates Article x of the constitution which provides that pow CTS not delegated to the United States nor prohibited to the states are re- served to the states respectively or to the people

 Attorney M. C. Cochems followed for the defense and said that the issue involved made the ease one of his tOrical consequence. He said the de- fendants should be regarded by the jury as officials of a political party who had spread the principles of the party in time of war. He said there was no intention to violate any law.
 He pictured the socialists as pOliti- cal martyrs and made a plea for the protection of free speech and a free press even in time Of war.

 In the event of adoption by congress of the policy of private ownership and operation under government regula- ton, the interstate commerce commis- sion proposed eight subjects for legis- lative consideration:
 Removal of some of the present limitations on united or cooperative activities among rail and water car riers; emancipation of railway opera tiOn from financial dictatiOn; govern melt regulation of security issues {; establishment of new relations be- tween federal and state authorities to eliminate the existing twilight zone' Of jurisdictions; restrictions govern ing the treatment Of competitive as compared with nOn-competitive traf- fife; efficient utilization and pooled purchases of cars and locomotives; more liberal and common use Of ter minal facilities: and limitations with III WHICH COuillOn cdIIitES ldCHitlGS and service may be furnished by ship pers or receivers of freight.
