I "Much cloudy weather prevailed in ?the eastern cotton growing states ; with excessive rainfall in some lo i calities but precipitation was most | ly moderate in the central por j tions of the belt, while drought j continued in most of the western J sections. j "Cotton made generally poor j progress in Oklahoma and was shedding badly in the central and : western portions on account of j the continued drought, progress j ranged from poor to very good in j Texas; depending on the local rain ; fall, and the general condition of the crop ranged from poor to very {good but was mostly fair; insects j were less active and had done lit J tie damage but there was some j complaint of shedding and prema I ture opening. "The progress of cotton was j mostly fair in Arkansas, although less satisfactory in some localities, I while there was too much rain, in i Louisiana. The crop made poor j progress in Mississippi and Ala j bama. where it was rather too cool ! and there was considerable com i plaint of shedding. The condition ! wa s reported as very good in Ten j nessee, although there was some \ deterioration on account of rust, i shedding and weevil, j ''Rainfall was mostly moderate j in Georgia, except heavy to ex i cessive near the- coast, but the i damp, cloudy weather was unfa ! vorable and general deterioration I of cotton was reported: bolls were j rotting and shedding, or saturated with the damp weather and were being rapidly punctured by weevil I with serious damage, i "Excessive rains occurred in I many localities of the Carolinas, 1 although plant growth was very j good in South Carolina and fruit I ing was reported as fairly satis j factory, but there was marked in crease in weevil damage in the ; central, eastern and southern por tions, where the weather was fa | vorable for their activities.

LONG AND YOUNG WIN County Agent in Clarendon to Be Retained Manning, Aug. 15.?The county Democratic executive committee met today for the purpose of purg ing and correcting the club rolls and appointing managers for the election. At a former meeting of the ex ecutive committee a resolution was passed placing in the primary the question of the retention of the rural policemen, farm demonstra tion agent, home demonstration agent and the county nurse. Dr. W. W. Long, of Clemson College; Mr. T. B. Young, of Flor ence, district agent, and Mrs. S. O. Plowden, district demonstration agent, appeared before the com mittee and urged the committee to rescind its action, especially with reference to placing the home and farm demonstration agents in the i primary.

During the day Monday several wires were received, all of them indicating a very serious condition, and early Tuesday morning word whs received that his condition was growing worse and that he was sinking rapidly. The members of his congregation, and a host of friends of Father Mahoney all through the state are deeply griev | ed, and while there is little hope of his recovery, all of them are trust ing later news will contain some slight encouragement.
