Mr.. Richardson returned to his of

will visit various demonstration pro

cotton growers can certainly feel bet

between here and the A. and Nj. Col
lege that will anywhere near compare
with what we have here, despite the
great loss sustained on account of the
past months rains," said Mr.. Rich
ardson. "As to corn, we are away
ahead of anything / saw, and from
conversations with county agents
from oil over the state / am inclined
to think that the Texas cotton crop
is going to be by far the smallest in
years, with prospects of an exceeding
attractive price if the growers do not
not rush the marketing too much.
- "Our discussions at the meeting
were centered principally around or

CHICAGO, Ill, July 3O.-Bitter
fighting between the whites and ne

the state troops, Of which there are
approximately 5000 now here but the
governor hesitates to order them to
take charge.
Twenty seven persons are now re-
ported dead and nearly a thousand
injured. All during the night, men
slssl,ed each others throsts and shot
others from ambush. The white men
ran down isolated nebries. beat them
to insensibility and. burned and loot

All this time the troops were idle
and while the police we're struggling

side last night they only succeeded
in spreading tn riots In other regions.
On the north side the fighting pro-
ceeded for several hours. On the
west side Italians attacked negroes
and burned the body Of one victim.
The whites again seemed TO be the
aggressors.
Owing to the street ear strike, only
