Remarks-The crop as a whole so
far as percentage condition indicates
has made little or no progress since
our last report two weeks ago. In
the eastern section of the belt the
crop has deteriorated in all of the
states except in Florida, Mississippi
and Tennessee In is more pronounc-
ed in Virginia and the Carolinas, and
much less so in Georgia and Alabama.
The crops in all of these states have
suffered from continuous rains, pre-
venting cultivation, and hence the
fields are over-run with grass and
stunted, it has developed rank weed
and sappy condition, with little fruit
and is in no condition 20 Withstand
the hot sun. The same conditions also
apply to Louisiana and some por-
tons of Texas In the southwest, how
ever, the weather conditions have
been much more favorable and the
crop has made very good progress.
But the cultivation Of this crop is
poorest of which we have any rec
ord, and hence the fruitage is light
er, With the exception of 1910 it is
also the grassiest crop. The plant is
freer from disease than ordinarily,
but the boil weevil is more numerous
and more destructive than was ever
before known at this date The per-
centage condition of all states is 68.8
exactly the same as two weeks ago,
and as compared with 1873 one year
ago, and 719 two years ago. Apply
ing the governments method of COM
putation the indicated crop is 11,340,-
90 bales. The cotton area embraced
in GAG counties is embraced in this
report.

ed, and the ranch cowboys. The cow
boys by daring scheme manage to
save Jack as they throw a lariat
across the stream and lassoed a small
tree so that the rope stretches across
the raging stream and Jack is enabled
to grasp it and pull himself to shore.
The cowboys capture Shotwell's
men and take them all to Jail. Jack
Randall now decides to enter politics.
He announces Peter Strong as his
candidate for sheriff and his plan to
end lawlessness and the regime of
Shotwell and his desperadoes and
the sinister Hindu Tiger Worshippers.
Faro Nell recognizes Peter Strong,
Jr., as man wanted for murder but
he manages to convince her that he
is innocent and that the real murderer
is Shorty.
Shorty, who has been going about
with little or no fear of detection,
chances to see Strong, Jr., at ball
and Immediately informs the sheriff
that dangerous criminal is at large.
The sheriff, seeing a chance to col
lect the reward offered for Strong,
Jr., and at the same time remove him
as a political opponent goes to the
ball to arrest him. But in the mean
time Faro Nell, who has developed a
liking for Strong, Jr., decides to clear
him. She engages in a Irritation
with Shorty and while the murderer
is partly intoxicated and entirely in
fatuated with Nell, he boasts of the
murder Nell Immediately tells this
to the authorities and Shorty is ar
rested. The next day Strong, Jr., is
, elected sheriff.
With Strong, Jr., in office, Jack and
Belle, with his assistance, immediate
ly inaugurate their campaign against
, the Hindus, Shotwell and his des-
peradoes. Randolph Gordon is aware
that the Hind1s will be attacked
by the forces If law and order,
and their subterraMean temple il the
mine raided. So he decides to go to
the Hindus and put them on their
! guard, and at the same time try to
learn where they have hidGen the
fragments of the pact OF Three.
He sends Hilda to the temple Of
the Tiger Worshippars to warn them
of the impending raid While she
is waiting to be shown into the pres
ence of-Salonga and Tiger Face, Belle
overhears their conversation and thus
discovers that the "Pact Of Three" is
actually hidden in the tigers cage.
Meantime Strong, Jr., has learned
from one of Shotwell's men in the
jail the location of the suoterranean
temple of the Tiger Worshippers
Strong, Jr., with posse, starts out
to raid the temple and the two girls
Belle and Faro Nell follow as they
want to see the end of the Hindus
While they are following the posse
their horses take fright and run away
and Belle is thrown over the edge oil
cliff and just manages to save her
self by clinging to a tree growing
from a cleft in the rocks far down
the precipice.

Gallia,s Curves Battling.

In each of the four remaining in
inngs the Nationals got men on the
bags, but Gallia's curve ball was more
than they could handle.
The Browns were somewhat lucky
in the eighth. though, as with Foster
on first as a result of a single to left,
with one down, Milan almost knocked
Sisters legs off with a grounder. The
ball ricocheted off Sisters shins into
Bronkie's hands and Sisler covered
the bag in time for Bronkie's throw
to get Milan. Had the ball gone any
where else except into Bronkie's
mitts the Griffmen probably would
have had men on second and third,
with only one down.
Johnson and Gallia pitched good
ball. Both were in superb form, and
if there was any distinction to be
given either man 1t belonged to john
son. However, Gallia had one of
the days when his curve ball works
perfectly. and GaIlia's curve is not
easy to hit
Clyde Milan showed no bad effects
from the lay-off of month due to
his operation for appendicitis. He
hit the ball hard on three occasions.
and il was only because of hard luck
that the ball he knocked through
