CREENBRIER OUT
 FOR BIG REVIVAL

\ crowd estimated at 2,o0o people was out last n ght to attend the re- vival services being held at Green brier by Rev. J. E. Claunch and Rev. E. F. Simmons, evangelists for the Greenbrier Baptist Association. To date, the revival has gained IS con- versions and has been in duration only one week. Rev. Simmons, who is in Conway today, said that inter- est in the services is so great that the revival will be continued indefi- nitely.
 To accommodate the big audiences which are attending every service, the revival tent has been arranged to seat the largest possible number. Other benches have been placed around the tent, and all this space was fill ed last night as well as an overflow which stood back of the last seats, probably for 40 feet or more, Rev. Simmons said. Residents from sec tions distant from Greenbrier were in the audience last night, he said.

AIRPLANE BREAKS UP
 FUNERAL FOR NEGRO
fPv Tinted prarel


 Carthage, Miss, Aug. 28.-When negro attendants at funeral near here saw the approach of an airplane Tn the heavens yesterday afternoon, iparson, pallbearers, spectators and all scurried to the woods and left the corpse in state of complete lone someness. It was some time before the parson and his flock returned to the dead to perform the last sad rites.
 The airplane is the first ever seen m Leake county. It was brought here as an attraction for the fair. The parson was exhorting his flock on the second coming of Christ and when one of the negro pallbearers got glimpse .of the air man tail spinning and loop ing the loop in the heavens, he cried: "Lawdy, dare comes de Lord now" and the negroes dropped the coffin and fled.
 beake county is the only county in Mississippi that is not traversed by a railroad and there are old-timers here 50 and 70 years of age who have never seen train.
 The people in this section will al ways remember the first airplane that came to Leake county, especially the ''nlggers."

Others of the church clergy probably will be here to assist before the service is ended, the pastor said
 The 40 hours of prayer is really a series of services, Rev Zell said and would have been held in March except for unavoidable causes. Each of the separate meetings is arranged for certain members of the congregation, This morning, the children were at the church, and this afternoon separate hours were set aside for English speaking boys and girls, older people who speak French or German, and on in this manner until every element of the congregation is reached. Audi ences at the church all day Sunday completely filled the auditorium, and another large audience is expected to- night.

FROST 10 DECIDE
 COTTON CROP SIZE
EQUALS YEAR AVERAGE
Has Declined Since First Week of Aug gust, Due to Moisture-State's
 Crop Badly Spotted.

l Memphis, Aug. 30.-Slightly more than normal deterioration during the
 past 80 days is indicated by correspon-
 dents Of the Commercial Appeal re-
 porting the condition of the cotton
 crop.
 The crop reached about the peak
 of its improvement during the first
 week in August, and from that t.me
 onward to August p, the date of
 which this report Is made, deteriorated
 rather rapidly.
 i Deterioration was due primarily to
 excessive moisture, unseasonably low
 temperatures and deficient sunshine
 which made boil weevil and other in- ! sect enemies more active, caused shed ding and sappy growth of the weed
 at expense of fruItage.
 Deterioration was greater in Lou isiana. In the Carolinas the condition is not far from, but somewhat above, the 10-year average, neither very low nor extremely high conditions being presented. Georgia is suffering more from boil weevil damage than at any time this year before the middle of August, but still hopes to make a much better crop than last year. Ala bama is perhaps suffering more from boll weevil damage than any other state, and acre for acre, has but little better promise than last year. Mis- sissippi shows about normal deterior- ation, where substantial progress would have been possible under favor able conditions.
 The Texas crop is very spotted, with condition figures ranging from p per cent to about normal or better, with low condition in about every case traceable to boil weevil activity The extremely spotted condition Is confined to no particular division of the state, but relatively highest aver age prospects are to be found in the west, the southwest and central di- visions, in the order named. Okla homa never had a better prospect, ex- cept that 1t is late. In Arkansas the crop is unusually spotted, but, on the whole, offers a rather brilliant prom ising, but late.
 About half of the crop is late every where. The other half was planted about on time and is beginning to mature. Picking has begun in Georgia Alabama and Mississippi, and will probably be completed 30 days from now in southwest Texas. Owing to so much of the crop being late, the date of killing frost will be one of the most important factors in determining the size of the crop. This applies par ticularly to Oklahoma.
 The crop throughout the belt needs warm, dry weather more than any thing else.
 The summary for Arkansas is as follows:
 The Arkansas cotton crop is un- usually spotted. The general aver age is somewhat above the average for 10 years, but is held up by brilliant prospects in some favor ed sections, while the promise in others is gloomy. Too much rain oc- cured over group of counties in central parts of the state north of Little Rock and along the Mississip- pie river from Chicot county to the Missouri state line.

DO SOLDIERS WANT A SOLDIERS

Do the men who served In the
United States army and navy in the
world war want military man for
president? Inasmuch as 100000
Americans went overseas, and as hun
dreds OF thousands more were getting
ready TO go. the question remains Of
practical interest TO the politicians. IL
has now become generally agreed that
pcrshing "will not do" But will any
soldier by virtue of the feet that he Is
a soldier, he specially commended to
the men who had experience in the
army?
To such question no sweeping, gen.
eral answer can be given, but IL may
be possible 10 determine whether or not
there is marked drift OF sentiment
In one way or another. Seeking to
throw light on the situation. the
weekly paper, the Home Sector, pub
lished In New York, and edited by men
who we're on the staff OF the Stars and
Stripes at Paris during the war, has
collected opinions from 30 service men
in all sections OF the country, repre-
senting various trades and occupations
These answers establish their own au-
thenticity by their variety. But there
is little positive demand for n military
candidate, and there are emphatic ex-
pressions OF opinion against one.
Several think that the country as n
whole needs military discipline, on ac-
count Of "bolshevism" and other forms
of unrest, and that for this reason,
soldier should be chosen. But many ex-
press the feeling that they have seen
enough of army Officers already. One
man, writing from Hartford. favors
Wood, but on the ground that he Is
more like a civilian" than Pershing
This man, who thinks Wood would be
good president. is distinctly against
"army methods for civilian administri-
tion," and says, Its the West Point
spirit that we don't like" Others
would like to see soldier elected
president, but not a high army officer
Most general officers were disliked
by their men," writes an ex-soldier In
Providence, and from Detroit comes the
following view, written by a manual
training instructor. "These high Off
GERS like Wood and Pershing are not
In our class" Army officers are held
by one to be not good. sound business
men," but another favors Wood on the
ground that he has little In common
with the old-line politicians.
The strongest expressions against nm
army president come from the West
where the sentiment seems TO be both
against military men and against war
"a soldier-president might lead us into
another war, says a Kansas City man,
who was gassed in the Argonne. eve

LORDsBURG HAS NO vANDALs

When the boosters Of Demlng get dis

They evidently would rather make

why destroy hoary institution ON that
account? Lordsburg refuses point
