There have been no developments
in the smallpox situation
in Fort Mill since the last issue

has been pretty general in the
town and vicinity and as a resuit
it is expected that the disease
will wear itself out within a short
time.
Night straw-rides have become
very popular with the youngsters
of the town, and, judging from
the frequency of the rides and
the manner in which the participants

with rapture. The citizens ol
the town, however, find little
pleasure in beirg awakened along
about midnight or later by the

return to their homes.
Orders Folp Verdict Set Aside.
Governor Blease does not approve
of the verdict of the court
which recently tried and convicted
Capt. Jas. D. Fulp, of
Winnsboro, of failure to turn in
certain reports at the required
time. The verdict was that
Capt. Fulp be reprimanded by the
colonel of the regiment. On account
of certain preceedings of
the court the following letter has
been issued by Governor Blease:
"After reading carefully the
proceedings herein, I am of the
opinion that under the testimony,
particularly of Capt. Fulp (to be
found on page 10), that the courtmartial
committed error in rendering
the verdict herein, and
that they should h#ve dismissed
the charges.
"I, therefore, disapprove of
their findings, and order that the
sentence of the court be set aside
and that Capt. Fulp be released?
believing as I do, his statement
in regards to his failure to comply
technically with the law.
"The adjutant general is to be
commended for his endeavor to
uphold the military law and its
regulations, but the officers of
the court should not condemn a
fellow officer on mere technicalities?particularly
when, in the i
language of Capt. Fulp, 'the
military, generally, is a separate
institution entirely from other
business; it is kind of a charity i
business when it is a command-1
ing officer.'
"Feeling this way, I think
much latitude should be given.
"Cole L. Blease."

Predicts Bumper Cotton Crop. (
Official estimates as sent out jj
Monday from Washington say' (
that the cotton crop of 1911 in- (
- ? i _ .1.. i?i A
dicates tnat it win oe ine largest ^
in the history of the country, approximating,
according to the
present figures, 14,425,000 bales 1
of 500 pounds each, exceeding
by almost a million bales the
record crop of 1904.
Dr. N. A. Murray, acting chief
of the crop reporting board of
the Department of Agriculture,
Monday made the following statement
subsequent to the issuance
of the cotton crop report:
"The report shows the condition
of the crop to be higher
than on any corresponding date
in the last ten years. A month
ago the general condition was
8.5 per cent, above the ten-year
average. Today it is 10.3 per
cent, above the ten-year average.
"The acreage of cotton this
year is about 35,000,000. Alowing
for the average of aband- .
onment?about 1,000,000 acres?
the indications are that approximately
34,000,000 acres of cotton
will be harvestsd.
"The condition indicates a
L l-'~ Ofl9 8 tvninrls
prouauie .vjciu ui
per acre, which on 34,000,000
acres would mean 6,895,000,000
pounds, or about 14,425,000 bales.
"This calculat on allows for
average depreciation. The critical
period in cotton growth is in
August and September, so that
any estimate at this time must be
taken with some allowance.
"The largest previous production
of cotton in this country was
in 1904 when it aggregated 13,679,950
bales of 500 pounds
each."
The condition of the cotton
crop June 35 was 88.2 per cent,
of a normal, compared with 87.7
per cent, on May 25, 1911: 80.8
per cent, on June 25, 1910, 74.6
percent, in 1909 and 80 per cent.,
the average condition on June
25 during the past ten years.
