His condition yesterday evening was said to have shown little if any change. The cool weather of the last three days is said to have been anything but helpful to the cotton crop in this section, and it is feared that if the cool spell continues for a short while longer that much of the cotton will die. In this connection it was said that should the cotton die, many farmers would find it necessary to plant other crops than cotton on account of a scarcity of seed of the latter. Mayor A. R. McElhaney sev eral days ago placed an order | with the Studebaker Company, of Louisville, Ky., for one of their standard size, single-horse street sprinklers, and the machine is expected to arrive here in a short time.
