Huntsville, June T.-(SpeciaD.-R from all parts of Madison county are to the effect that all crops are much inn proved in appearance as compared with a week ago. All cotton that is to be planted this year is already planted and most of it has been chopped over once. The acreage is estimated at about 90 per cent of last year. Some of the bot tom lands are yet to be planted to corn. The farmers of this county are being urged to plant as much corn as possible and it is believed that the corn crop is slightly increased.

 COX-PALMER CONTEST
 While the question of issues is boil ing, little change is apparent in the lineup of strength of the various can didates. Cox and Palmer are expected to go in for a test of strength on the first ballots, much after the fashion of the Wood and Lowden race at the re- publican convention. In the back ground, waiting to appear at what they consider the psychological moment are the invisible and intangible, but admit tedly formidable forces working for McAdoo.
 The Cox people profess to have enough strength to eliminate Palmer oa the preliminary ballots, and then plan to pit their candidate against the field, which by nature of McAdoos po- sition includes him. The Palmer forces pointing to the Anti-Saloon League dec iarations of war on Cox and Bryans expressed views on the same subject, predict that any accessions to another candidate will not be made from their strength.
 Meanwhile both the Cox and Pal rner managers are borrowing delegates

MRS. DEMPSEY TO TESTIFY
Former Wife to Be Gov

San Francisco. June 10.--Early close
of the prosecution in the trial of Will
liam Harrison (Tack) Dempsey. heavy
weight champion of the world. on n
charge of evading the splcctive draft act

porting her. Dempsoy's attorneys con
tended she was his wife. and. as such.
could not testify against him.

Mills in Wilmington Play

ley with the same energy and ac-
curacy as the trim little BOSTON star.
Miss Sigourney, Miss Xinderstein's
partner, Is far above the average player,
but she does not appear to be SO good
as she is because Miss Tinderstein is
such a marvel Of speed and sound ten
mis- judgment, to say nothing Of almost
perfect execution. And speaking of
execution, the Boston pair laid low the
tennis heads of two good teams yes
tcrday in short order, beating Mrs
Harvey and Mrs. Huff, G.1. Ga, and
Miss Walsh and Mrs. J. s. Taylor,
Wilmington, two sets Of 6-1 each.
Other Matches
Besides the championship singles and
doubles today there will be- matches in
the consolation singles and consolation
doubles. The latter event could not
be started until today because the
drawings were not completed until late
yesterday afternoon.
The condition of the courts here is n
matter for continuous praise from the
players. The club can boast of courts
that are just as good as the best any
where, for they are as perfect as turf
can be. They are absolutely level and
laid out in such a way that neither
player gets more than her share of the
sun.
Another feature of this tournament
which was lacking at Haverford last
week, is the officiating. All Of the i'm
portant matches here have. as they
should, linesman and an umpire. In
tournament play no one cares to call
close ones in their own favor, neither
does player wish to give an opponent
point just because it is close. The
only thing, therefore, is to have officials,
and Mr.. Wright has seen to it that this
is done. Other clubs should emulate
this example in women's tournament
play.
