From 65 to 85 Per Cent of the Bolls Open, Which Appears to Be a Record. Memphis, Tenn. - The most striking feature of the cotton crop is the larg" amount of cotton that is open. In all states east of the Mississippi river from 65 to 85 per cent of the bolls are open. This appears to be a record for any re cent year. Rains in the western districts have retarded opening to some extent and parts of Texas are making a top crop. Temperatures were very high during the week and picking was retarded. With seasonable weather and no rain, great advancement will be made in this work. As yet no withholding from mar ket is noted and the ginning has been heavy, but the temper of the farmers is to expect higher prices. In this, the last weekly report of the present growing season, correspondents' opinions summarize about as follows: North and South Carolina--Crop no better and possibly slightly less than last years'. Georgia-A large outturn in southern and central counties with possibly a lit tle smaller crop than last year in the north. Alabama--Owing to a good crop in the southern district the yield may exceed last year, but only moderately. Very heavy damage by worms. Mississippi-Indications point to a smaller crop than last year. Tennessee and Missouri-Expectations are for a good crop, but not the record breaker once predicted. Louisiana-Estimates run 30 to 50 per cent over 1910. Arkansas-Much confusion exists as to the likely outcome. Oklahoma-Indications point to a smaller crop than last year. Texas-The crop will be larger than last season. Where ideas are expressed they run 10 to 25 per cent greater. GOOD ROADS ARE BOOMED International Congress Opens in Chicago for Thirteen Days.

SPANISH SOLDIERS SHOOT STRIKERS MARTIAL LAW PREVAILS~-SIIUA TION IS GRAVE. Constitutional Guarantees Suspended. Rioters Murder a Judge and Wound Officers of Court. Bilbao.--Troops fired on a crowd that was endeavoring to free prisoners, includ ing strike leaders, who were being taken through the streets. Twenty-six per sons were wounded. The situation is grave. Madrid,,Spain.-Spain is face to face with a crisis equal in gravity to that following the riots in Barcelona in 1909. The agitation and the power of the agi tators on the masses have increased in proportion to the rigor of the repressive measures undertaken by the government. What at its origin was apparently purely a labor movement has now developed into a revolutionary conflict, a com mune having actually been proclaimed at two towns near Valencia. At these places the authorities were driven out of the districts. The affiliated trade unions have de eided to call a general strike through out Spain and the government, aban doning the tone of optimism heretofore maintained, decided upon the drastic steps of "suspending the constitutional guarantees" throughout the country. It was explained, however, that in so doing Jhe government did not seek to persecute the trades unions, but it was made clear that any attempts to stir up a rebellion would be. rigorously dealt with. All meetings have been forbid den. The rioters murdered a judge and wounded other officers of the court, which had been engaged in the trial of those who had been arrested earlier in the day. The mob was finally dispersed. ATTACK HARVESTER TRUST Willing to Reorganize Without Court Mandate. Chicago.-The International Harvester Company will be the next great trust to be legally attacked by the United States government. Steps were taken Tuesday-which will probably result in the reorganization of the Harvester Company, a $120,000,000 eorporation. If the government has its way the company will travel the road of the Standard Oil trust and the tobacco trust to dissolution via the United States supreme court. The Harvester people, however, met the government half-way, instead of de fying it and standing suit. They have embarrassed Attorney General Wicker sham by demanding a definition of a "lawful" trust, expressing a willingness to reorganize without a court mandate. MURDERER HYDE MUST HANG Xakei Statement That the Sentence Is Just. Anderson, S. C.--amuel N.

Combination of Foreign Buyer red Responsible for Proposals From LiverpooL New Orleans, La.-Denouncing the Liverpool cotton bills of lading valida tion and central securing plan as an extraordinary and unique insurance against the results of the negligence of the European cotton buyers in deal ing with irresponsible firms, and declar ing it a reflection upon the honesty and integrity of the Southern cotton export ers, the conference of Southern bankers, exporters and cotton men held at the cotton exchange Monday adopted resolu tions placing themselves on record as be ing unalterably opposed to the scheme and refusing absolutely to have anything to do with it. The plan was branded as being re pugnant to sound business principles and offensive to reputable and honorable business men in that it assumes all cot ton shippers are dishonest until the New York validating bureau has pronounced them otherwise. A militant resistance through a thor ough organization of interests was sug gested to fight the Liverpool scheme. Resolutions were adopted declaring that the foreign buyers in combination with certain New York banking inter ests, had "undertaken to dictate to the Southern cotton shippers and bankers over the earnest protest of the latter, the method of billing export cotton," and branding it a plan of "unique in surance." PREMIER STOLYPIN IS DEAD Utmost Excitement Prevails in Govern ment Centers. Kieff.-Premier Stolypin died Monday afternoon from the bullet wounds in flicted on him at the Municipal Opera by Dimitri Bogroff, a Jewish lawyer, and with the passing of Russia's "Iron Man" the emperor faces a situation which all the bewildering underground resources of the zear are at work to combat. Jews, fearing a massacre more violent than any recorded in Russia's black his tory, are fleeing from the country in hordes. Hundreds left the province of Kieff immediately upon hearing of the premier's death, and as the news reached the outlying provinces thousands of the persecuted people are crossing the bor ders for safety. The utmost excitement prevails in the government centers, where diligent search is being made for others of the revolutionary band of which Bogroff is believed to be i mem ber. HAVE TO KISS AT HOMiE Kansas City Couples Cannot Indulge in Public Osculation. Kansas City, Mo.--Kissing oe's wife or husband in public places in Kansas Cify, Kansas, is illegal, according to a decree issued by Judge Carlisle. Judge Carlisle fined Ben Spannos and his wife $100 each, for kissing each other in Shawnee Park. 'I always thought a woman could kiss her husband whenever she pleased," Mrs. Spannos said.

Cruiser Hawke's Bows Crippled by Im pact and Her Plates Were Torn to Water Line. Southampton, England.-The great steamship Olympic of the White Star Line, which left Southampton Wednes day with a large crowd of returning American tourists, lies off Calshot Castle at the entrance to Southampton water with a gaping hole in her side as the result of a collision with the British protected cruiser Hawke. No lives were lost and of the 2,000 or more passengers and crew of the vessels, not one was even injured. There was no panic. The accident occurred a few miles from the spot where the American liner St. Paul and the British cruiser Glad iator collided nearly four years ago. The Olympic left her dock promptly at 11:35 o'clock steaming at a moderate speed eastward on her way to Cherbourg to pick up the continental passengers. She already had on board nearly 1,700 persons, excluding the crew. The warship, moving at great speed, followed the liner, but apparently was quite clear of her. Suddenly she swerved in and before the passengers could real ize what was happening, struck the liner on the starboard quarter near the stern, tearing through a section about forty feet in extent. The miracle is that the Olympic was not sunk, as the Hawke is fitted with a ram especially designed to sink a vessel. The liner's frame stood the shock well, and the water-tight doors, which auto matically closed, held the compartments hermetically sealed. BIG COTTON COMPANY FORMED Georgia Concern With $4,000,000 Capital Organized. Macon, Ga.-An organization of a four-million-dollar concern, known as the Southern Cotton Corporation, for the purpose of marketing cotton, was an nounced here by George Dole Wadley, of Bowling Brooke, one of the wealth iest men in Georgia, and controlling financial interests of great extent. The concern will work in connection with a string of banks operated by the National Bank Audit Company, of which William Barrett Ridgeley, former comp troller of the currency, is president. The Southern Cotton Corporation will advance farmers money up to 74 per egnt of the normal price of cotton deposited in warehouses. This cotton, it is claimed, will be held and when the time arrives each year when a correct estimate of the crop can be made, a price will be fixed and the cotton held until such price is paid. REFORM FOR ODD FELLOWS Grand Sire Given Control of Patriarch Mihitary. Indianapolis, Ind.--Cntrol of the pa triarchs militant was given to the grand sire of the sovereign grand lodge of Odd Fellows when the sovereign lodge voted that the commander of the military branch should be appointed by the grand sire instead of elected by the rank and file, as at present.

Raney, of Iowa, command er of the patriarchs militant, and his friends had vigorously opposed the re form, and he will retire on January 1, next, to be succeeded by a commander to be named by Grand Sire John E.
