COTTON CONDITION
IS ESTIMATED So. 7

Columbia, Sept. 29.-The American
Cotton Associations crop report gives
the condition of cotton as of Septem-
Der 25, for the entire belt, as 52.7 per
cent. The indicated yield with frosts
of average date is given at 9,7G7,O0O
bales, not including lnters.
Early frosts will curtail this Weld,
the report says, while late frosts will
not increase, it, as the top crop is de-
clared to be extremely poor, being only
10 per cent subjects to injury by early
frosts.
The acreage abandonment is placed
by the report at 8 per cent. The re-
port says: "On account of diseased
root system caused by poor prcpara-
tion and cultivation from shortage Of
labor, also adverse seasons and due
to four continuous years of nonuse of
potash in South Atlantic States, the
bolls opening are undcvefoped.

NEGROES LYNCHED
BY ALABAMA MOB
Two Men Taken From Officers Riddled
With Bullets
CHARGED WITH FOUL CRIME
One of the Negroes Lynched Said to
Have Been Returned Soldier.

Montgomery, Ala, Sept. 29.-Two
negroes, Miles Phifer and Robert
Croskey, the latter returned soldier,
were taken from Montgomery County
officials about five miles from this
city and lynched this afternoon. The
negroes were being carried to the
State prison at Wetumpka for safe
keeping when masked mob Of about
twenty-five men held up the automo
bile in which they were travelling
forced the officers to lay down their
arms, and then led the negroes about
100 yards into the woods and opened
fire nthem with shotguns and pistols.
Roth negroes were charged with Grim
inal assault on white woman.
Trial Dates Set.
Earlier in the day the two negroes
had been granted preliminary heac-
ing behind closed doors and their
trials had been set for next Friday.
After the action of the trial judge had
been known, it was said that fornla-
lion of the mob was undertaken,
and with tip that the negroes would
be held in Montgomery, but probably
would be carried t some other Jail
nearby, the leaders surmised that the
W etumpka prison would be the one
selected. The party, numbering twen-
ty-five men all masked, made it's vay
to point on the Wetumpka road
al five miles east of the city ard
there awaited the arrival of the
sheritf's car carrying the prisoners.
Riddled With Bullets.
When the car carrying the two ne
groes, which was accompanied by
three deputy shcrffs, rolled up to the
spot selected by the leaders of the
mob, the latter blocked the road and
demanded custody Of the prisoners.
Resistance was useless in the face of

er hay, cabbage, and manglcd bcets
should be supplied hens confined in
small yards and also to all hens during
the winter season when no green feed
is available. Cabbages may be hung

usually split and stuck on nails on
the side wall Of the pen about / foot
above the floor. Frozen vegetables
can be thawed out and fed to fowls,
but usually do not keep we'll after

bought nthe form of meal.

age due to premature opening. The
crop is two to four weeks late. The
insect damage is the most serious
ever known the boil wecvil and boil
worm being especially disastrous. The
boil weevil is invading the largest area
ever recorded in any previous year.
Under the present unsatisfactory
labor conditions, it will be impossible
to gather the crop without serious
damage to grades caused by cotton be-
ing permitted to stand in the fields
this resulting in d-breakine
shortage in good grade cotton AS a
result this crop will show probably
the lowest average grade on record.
The American Cotton Association
probably has the advantage of the
largest, most thorough and completes
crop reporting department in the belt
today. The corrections are being
startlingly verified today as to ac-
curacy.

shotguns and pistols, Deputy Sheriff
Frizzle, one Of the guards declared.
They were disarmed, a guard left with
them and the negroes rushed out of
the car about 100 PAGES off the road,
where they were loosed and told to
run. Thoroughly frightened and real
izing the fate that was upon them,
the negroes made little or no effort
to get away, and the men opened fire
on them with pistols and shotguns.
Phifer was almost instantly killed,
being riddled from head to foot, while
Croskey was likewise shot up, but
survived for five hours.
