PAGE FIVE FARMER HELD FOR CANNON’S MURDER arruza is Obstinate and De- Joseph G. Sullivan of Near termined to Have His Own Way. Washington, June 13.—Following a conference that Charles A. Doug las, the legal representative of the i 'onstitutionalists, had with Secreta ry Bryan today, if was learned at •be department that General. Car- ranra made clear to the administra tion -that under no circumstances would he consent to send delegates to Niagara Falls who would only participate informally in the discus sion# held there.' Carranaa will not send the three envoys named in his note to the me diators received by them in Niag ara Falls today, unless the media tors transmit word to him either directly or indirectly that his rep resentatives would be formally re- reived without the Constitutional ists declaring an armistice as here tofore demanded by the mediators. Neither the administration nor the Constitutionalists-expect the me diators to withdraw from their orig inal stand that cessation of hostili ties on the part of the rebels must be a condition precedent to admit tance to the parley. The only hope for the Carranza representatives to be admitted to the mediation con ferences on their own terms rests with the Huerta envoys. It Is reported that Secretary Bryan is sanguine that federal rep resentatives are so eager to have the Constitutionalists represented at Niagara Falls t he believes they will make overtures to the mediat ors asking them to allow the Car- ranzisfs to come in without the ar mistice condition. It is said at the’-department that Mr. Douglass also informed Mr. Bryan tha^-if the Constitutionalists .re not allowed a voice at Niagara Calls, they will consider themselves in no way hound by any action that may Ire taken and will not abandon •heir war campaign until Mexico ty is taken and Huerta driven rom power.

COTTON OUTLOOK IS ENCOURAGING s > Government Report Indicates a Substantially Better Condition. Laurens, June 15.—Joseph G. Sullivan, a young farmer of this sec tion, was indicted by the grand jury here today charged with the murder of John M. Cannon, a Laur ens attorney and prominent South Carolina Democrat. The killing occurred at the vil lage of Graycourt. S. C.. on May 12. Cannon had been engaged in the prosecution of Sullivan’s brother for alleged disorderly conduct in the vicinity of a county school. While Cannon was awaiting the verdict in his case, Sullivan is said to have ap proached and upbraided him for the manner in which he had conducted ! the prosecution. It Is said that I t’annon resented Sullivan’s remarks) and attacked him with a cane. The shooting followed^ Cannon being in- | stantly killed. It is the claim of the prosecution that two of the four bullets which caused Cannon's death struck him ! in the back as he was trying to es- ' cape. * - • pointment of an active Constitution alist who would take the reins of the government as a successor of Madero and not Huerta. This latter, it was declared, could be brought about by Pedro l^scur- aln, who was secretary of foreign affairs under Madero, resuming his old office, becoming temporary pres ident on the abdication of Huerta and in turn resigning after appoint ing a Carranzaista foreign secretary who would thereupon become pro visional president. The reception of this information by the administration has caused it to lose much of its bouyant uope in regard to the successful outcome of the mediation conference and has resulted in its directing the Amer- nan delegates at Niagara Falls to use * very effort with both the me- diaiors and the Huerta envoys to have them consent to allowing the Constitutionalists envoys to come in without agreeing to an armistice.

Washington. June 15.—President Harrison, of the Soutbern Railwa> Company, speaking of the outlook for this year’s cotton crop', said: “The government report S issued on Juue 1 indicates a substantially better condition in the states tra versed by Southern Railway lines than on the corresponding date last year. This bears out information received from our agents, dome un easiness has been caused by reports of drought in the cotton states east of t he Mississippi r'.ver, but, gen erally speaking weather conditions along our lines have been most fa vorable for giving the cron a good start. Wet weather during the ear,- ly part of the season results in the plant developing a spreading super ficial root system which is incapa ble of drawing a sufficient amount of moisture from the deeper soil during dry periods later in the sea son and, most of the roots being Just below the surface, they are lia ble to be seriously injured in the cultivation of the crop. In tbe oth er hand, a dry May means the de- ! velopment of a good tap root and a deep root system which will in- i sure better growth in the event of j unfavorable conditions later in the season. "The deep breaking of the land and better preparation of the seed bed more generally practiced in accordance with the advice of the 'oufhern Railway department of farm Improvement work are most ! favorable. Deep plowing not only n:ibb s th*- toil to retain more iiipie- fire but makes i ossible the devel opment of the deep root System. Th** l ick of excessive rains has'fa cilitated the cultivation of the ere: 1 and reports from rhe territory along the Southern Railway lines indicate that it is unit tally free from gra.-- ; ncl ueetfs. •'.Reports from the territory into xtiich the cotton boll weevif ha i spread last year indicate tills insect will probably be found in fields in all^that territory this year but the • arsters know more about coinnat- ing the weevil and will generally make a determined fight against it. With reasonably favorable weather conditions for the remainder oT tb.e reason, therefore, a pood yield of cotton may be expected in the states east of the Mississippi.” * o j A v Regular $1.25 and $1.50 Value Your Choice X X See Window Display - \ COHEN A.
