house of a Mrs. Gerald near Kenton
for live hours. Fifty armed
men at once hastened to the sceno.
When they reached the place they
scattered and took possession so
they could watch the house to the
best advantage. The peculiar actions
of Mrs. Gerald convinced
tho men that Tracoy was still in
the house. On tho arrival of Slier

iff Cudihee the posse closed in on
" the houso only to learn f'om Mrs.
Gerald that Tracey had given theiu
the slip. He had left the house
by a rear door ten minutes previously
while iho posse were taking
up pasitioiiR to watch the
place, hi<t for a few minutes in
some of the bushes and then quietly
slipped through the woods toward
Palmer. The wonderful
coolness and daring of the convict
was never more fully exemplified
than in this instance. In
tho backward of the Gerald home,
Anderson, the man whom Tracey
had.kept a prisoner from the time
he left Port Madison, was found
tied to a tree. Tracey had tied
Anderson while tho posse was in
full view of tho hovse. The bloodhounds
wore let loose on his trail
and are reported to he only a jew
minutes behind him. Fully a
thousand armod Dion are now engaged
in the pursuit, including n
posse which lias taken the train
for Palmer to intercept Tracey
in his flight toward Cedar mountain.

of fraraera from vurious sections
of the county are complaining
of the lice pest in their cotton

to create any serious damage

about from two to four
leaves. Now the lice are not

Rain is much needed in the
South Atlantic States, where the
week has been unusually warm,
with showers over limited areas
iml v
J'
Under highly favorable temperatures
there ban beou a general
improvement in the condition of
corn throughout the central valleys
and the outlook for this crop
in the principal corn States is encouraging,
although in the States
of the Missouri valley it has sutl'
ercd considerably from lack of
cultivation, duo to excessive moisture.
In the southern Stales a very
poor crop is indicated and in portions
of tho central Gulf districts
the early planted is injured beyond
recovery.
COTTON.
With showers over local areas
only and very high temperatures
the cotton crop over much the
greater portion of the central and
eastern districts of the cotton belt
has materially deteriorated, < specially
ovei ho southern portion of
the districts named, although considering
the size of the plant, it is
fruiting veil and is generally clean.
In Tennessee, extreme northern
Mississippi, Arkansas, Missouri,
Oklahoma and Indian Territory
the crop continues in promising
condition, although it is needing
cultivation and making too much
weed in portions of Arkansas.
In Texas cotton shows further
improvement and is making health)'
growth, except in the southwestern
and northwestern counties,
where it is at a standstill.
While toe plant is small, it is
spreading nicely and fruiting satisfactorily,
and but few reports of
shedding and boll weevil are received.
The Storm in Florence.
Special to The State.
Florenco, July 8.?A good
deal of damage was done here
jesterdhY afternoon hy lightning.
The storm was of short duration
but severe. The twostory residence
of the county superinteoIdent
of education, John Ileeso McCown,
was wrecked, and it is miraculous
that any in the house escaped.
The front piazzas, both u,p and
down stairs, were demolished and
the north wall of the house was
torn out. Plastering fell in every
i room in the houso and a number
of window panes wore, shattered.
The damage will amount to fcov*
eral hundred dollars.
In west Florence an ox was
killed and the shingles torn from
a small heuse.
