GENERAL NEWS, CONDENSED
FOR THE BUSY READER
Condition of Cotton Crop.
The condition of the growing
cotton crop of the United States
on July 25 was 70.5 per cent of
a normal crop, compared with
80.4 per cent on June 25 this
year, arid 75.5 in .July 11)10. The
area planted in cotton this year
is about 34,097,000 acres, or 93
per cent of the acreage planted
last year, according to Agricul-
tural department preliminary
estimate.
"Rat Killing" Day in New Orleans.
As a part of the campaign in-
stituted by the city health de-
partment of New Orleans against
the introduction into this country
of the bubonic plague, a city rat
killing day has been suggested
by Dr. Oscar Howling, who will
submit his plan to the anti-
plague mass meeting on Aug. 6.
Mexicans Pleased with President
Taft's Statement.
The statement of President
Tal't in his speech of acceptance
Thursday, in regard to the Mex-
ican situation was interpreted by
the inhabitants of Mexico City
to mean that the United States
would not interfere even though
a number of Americans should
be killed. The Americans com-
plain that this announcement
threatens to prove disastrous to
Americans in the Republic.
Slayden Defends President.
Representative Slayden does
not agree with criticisms of
President Tal't for his utterance
in his speech of acceptance on
the peaceful attitude of this
country toward Mexico. The
President understands he says,
the horrors of war, and for this
reason has refused to take ad-
vantage of the political advan-
tage to be accrued from a suc-
cessful war.
Mexicans Shoot Into El Paso.
Fully fifty shots were ex-
changed on the night of Aug. 2,
between the American soldiers
stationed as sentries on the
American side of the river at
Kl Paso and the Mexicans across
the border. The first shots were
fired from the Mexican side, and
were promptly returned by the
American sentries. An Amer-
ican residence was struck three
times.
More Gun Men Held.
"Whitey" Louis and "Dago"
Prank Cirolici, two of the four
gun men who murdered Herman
Rosenthal have been captured
and locked into (he Tombs,
"(iyp th«' blood" and Lilly Louie
the two yet at large are expected
to be captured soon.
Relief for Refugees from Mexico.
Hundreds of American refu-
gees from Mexico have congre-
gated in I'll Paso in the last four
weeks, many of whom are en-
tirely destitute and unable to
get away from the city to their
destinations. A relief fund of
$1(10,000 has been provided by
the United States Senate to be
used to tide over the immediate
need. The measure was present-
ed to the Senate by Senator
Bailey of Texas.
Colquitt's Campaign Cost Him $408.35
According to the figures sent
in by Gov. Cohpiitt, the total
personal expenses of this cam-
paign up to the primary Satur-
day, amounted to $ los.:!5.
Monroe Doctrinc Reaffirmed.
A warning to the nations of
the world against encroach-
ments upon the continents of
North and South America was
issued on Aug 2, bv the United
States Senate in adopting the
resolution framed b\ Senator
Lodge in which the United
States takes the position that
she will not ee without grave
concern ;.ny - .11ab . naval or
military site pass into the control
of a foreign corporation when
such possession might threaten
communications or safety of the
United States. The action was
prompted by a reported attempt
of a Japanese syndicate to get
land about Magdalena bay. On-
ly four votes were cast against |
the measure.
Mrs. Grace Found Not Guilty.
Mrs. Daisy Grace, charged
I with shooting her husband with
I intent to kill, was found not
guilty by the jury in whose
hands was the verdi'ct, at At-
lanta on Aug. 2. Her husband,
who was rendered helpless by
the bullet fired by his wife, is
better, and declares that the
verdict is unjust and that in her
heart the defendant knows she
is guilty.
Rebel Leader Declares War to Con-
tinue.
Orozco denies that he has
asked Madero for peace terms
and declares that the war will
continue. "The fighting is just
beginning," he says. There can
be no peace as long as Madero is
president.

"It didn't kill me, but I think
it would if it had not been for
Hunt's Cure. I was tired, mis-
erable and well nigh used up
when I commenced using it for
an old and severe case of eczema.
One application and box cured
me. I believe Hunt's Cure will
cure any form of itching known
to mankind." Clifton Lawrence,
