Far Itelow Normal.
Washington. October 'J. ? Tin? cuttoii
crop this year will be approximately
11,0*17,000 equivalent WlO-pound* buleH.
The department of agriculture made
this forecast today basing Its estimate
on the condition or the crop on Sep
tember Uf> as rejMirted hy its agents
and correspondenta throughout the
cotton Iwlt. The final out-turn of the
eryp, the department announced, will
probably he larger or smaller thiiu that
amount as conditions hereafter are
iK'tter or worse than average rendi
tions. A rejHirt giving Its tlnal estl
mate of production will Im? made l?y
the department on December 11. .
Cotton condition Is estimated at 50.11
per cent normal. .
Weather and other conditions have
been disastrous to the crop this year.

tions existing July U5 was 1C!,1?10,000
hales, a loss of 1 ,.'130,000 hales duripg
tin* month. . Further damage occurred
<lurin^ the following itionth and the
condition of the crop oil August 25
indicated a production of only 11, SOU, -
000 hales as forecast by the depart
ment of agricultures showing a de
crease of 1,116,000 hales 1n the pros
l?cctlve production.
While the acreage planted this year
was 12.1 i*?r cent larger than last
year, the crop promises to he ahout
the same of hist year's size. The final
output last year was 11. 10 1,820-1 tales,

dinary iieople, who had lx?en neither
completely righteous nor uttrly will
ful was left undecided and the oj>
ftortjudty was given them for re
|MMitan<r; now the Day of Atonement
provides all men with the |M?tslhlllty
of returning to their (Sod and of llnd
I iik reconciliation with lllm through
prayer.
The day la the most solemn of all
days In the Jewish calendar, It In pass
ed lu fasting and prayer. The whole
day Ih s|?eiit lu the synagog. In the
evcpilng there is the service which
coinmnces with the chanting of the
well known Kol Nldre prayer. The
day proper ha* four services. Of these
the Mussaf or additional service con
tains a descriptit# of the atonement
rites as practiced lu the ancient days
lu the Temple at Jerusalem; and the
Nellah service Is understood to |#?
held at the time whcji decision Is
finally made as to man's fate, audi
thus the Nelluh prayers histoid of
having the usual phrase, "Inscribe us
lu the lnH>k of life," uses the expres
sion: "Seal us in the hook of life."
According to Jewish tradition ex
pressed in an ancient law-book, the
Day or Atonement, when si?eut in
prayer and repenting, will bring par
don for sins between mail and (*od)
but as for the sins committed by man
against his fellow man the Day can
not bring pardon until he has appeased
Ills fellow man. This Idea Is he bas
is of the effort always made before the
Day of Atonement to bring peace be
tween such friends who have become'
estranged and are on unfriendly terms
with one another; and in this way, i
the Day will put the worshipper at
|s?ace no! only with his Maker, but
also with hJaTellow man.
There being no synagog In Camden
many of the Hebrews of this city will
go to Columbia. Sumter and BIshAp
