Earlier in the (lay the twvo negroes had been grantedl a preliminary heat' ink: behind closed dloors andl their trials had beeni set for next Friday. After the action of the trial judlge had been known, it was said that fornia tin of the mob wvas uindertaken, andl with a tip that the negroes we..uld be held in Montgomery, but probably would be carriedl t o some other jail nearby, the leaders surmnisedl that the 'A Ctulmpka prisonl would be the one selectedl.

The indicated yield with frosts of average date is given at 9,767,000 bales, not including linters. Early frosts will curtail this yield, the rep~ort says, wvhile late frosts will not increase, it, as the to1) crop is dec clared to be extremely p~oor, being only 10 per cent subjects to injury lby early frosts. The acreage abandonment is placed by the report at 9 per cent. The re port says: "On account of d1iseasedl root system causedl by poor prepara tion and cultivation from shortage of labor, also adlverne seasons and due to four continuous years of nonuse of potash in South Atlantic States, the bolls opening are undeveloped.

"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 record1-breaking shortage in good grade cotton. As a result this Cr01) will show probably the lowest average grade on record.
