Greenville, Aug. .124-One fatality ,was recorded yesterday during the .terrifie cloudburst which broke over Greenville shortly after 3 o'clock and continued for more than half an hour. -Emmett Smith,'aged 10 years, son of Hovey Smith, of 305 Manly street, was hurled from a ledge beneath the concrete bridige at the intersection of -Lavinia and East iPark streets, Into ,Richland creek and the swirling tor rent carried the body more than half a mile to the iLaurens road bridge where it was recovered. Lloyd Smith, aged 12, a brother, had a narrow es cape when he was precipitated from the ledge but succeeded in reaching the bank. - The youngsters were playing in the City Park when the downpour .be gan and sought shelter under the bridge. Richland creek, usually an in consequential streaan in which even infants wade and play, quickly became a turbulent young river, which under mined -the ledge on which the two boys were standing and they were hurled into the swift flowing stream. Lloyd was unable to rescue his broth er, the body of the younger boy strik ing the rock bottom of the creek and being swept down stream. It -is be lieved immett Smith was renderedl unconscious by the fall from the ledge, his elder brother stating that he land ed on his head. 'Dr. \Villiam White rushed to the scene and the JRamseur-McAfee am bulance was called. 'The ixhysician worked over the youngster with a pul motor for more than half an hour in an effort to restore heart action but was unsuccessful. The body was not badly bruised in its journey of more than half a mile down the winding torrent, it is said, although death is attributed to a six-inch gash in the top of the head. Screams from Lloyd Smith attract ed a number of younsters to the bank and several unsuccessful efforts .were made to rescue the body of the young boy as it was swirled down the creek. At the Laurens road bridge, Coroner Vaughn and several others succeed ed in pulling the body from the treach erous stream. The body was prepared for burial by 'Ramseur-McAfee com pany. Besides his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Hovey Smith, lEmmett is survived by two sisters, Felicia and Thelma, and three brothers Lloyd, Louls and Dennis. -Fiieral services will be held this afternoon. at 5:30 o'clock from the family home 305 Manly street, by Di. T. W. Sloan, pastor of the First Pres byterian church, following which In terment will be made in Springwood cemetery. Playmates of the youngster .will act as pallbearers. The downpour yesterday registered .87 of an Inch at the United States weather bureau in the city and was by3 far the greatest precipItation for a similar 'period in months.

Crop Reports. kNew Orleans, Aug. 14.-The range of prices in the cotton market last week was unusually narrow, fluctua tions being within limits of 54 to 04 pointa, The highest prices were made in the earlier sessions while the lowe est came just after the middle of the wek. At the highest the trading months were 8 to 15 points over the close of the preceding week and at the lowest they were 39 to 53 points un der. October sold up to 13.13, fell off to 12.49 and closed at 12.73. In the spot department middling lost 12 points, closing at 12.13. Contracts in the net results lost 21 to 29 points. The advances of the early part of the week were due, in great measure, to covering of the short interest. Un favorable crop accounts were at all times a steady influence, but the ab sence of any very 'great spot demand Prevented aggressive trading on the long side with crop damage as its foundation. Trade -figures for July, out during the iweek, were unfavor able, showing small textile exports from Great Britain and small con sumption in this country, and they caused more or less selling. ,Nearly all sections of the belt sent in crop complaints of one kind or another, and general opinion was that August deterioration was more than usually severe. This opinion was re flected b ya private bureau report on the condition of the crop at the mid dle of the mornth -f 57 per cent of normal, a loss for the half month of 9.6 points against the ten-year aver aige deterioration for the whole of August of 7.2 points. Hot and dry weather in the western belt, especially in Texas, with consequent shedding and premature opening of bolls, and ipoor fruitage in the eastern belt, par ticularly in Georgia and South Caro lina, were the main causes of com plaint.
