ries will be very great. In fact
the berry crop does not seem to
have suffered a great deal, although
in some counties the black and rasp-
berry have suffered some, while
plums, cherries, and other small
fruits are generally reported in good
condition.
COTTON.
1t will be observed that the re-
ports from the cotton counties point
to a decrease in acreage this year
over last year of 90 per cent. This
is doubtless due to the low price of
cotton, which has reached the point
where the price of 1898 cotton has
been below the cost of production.
In my opinion this is healthy sign,
as the people who have heretofore
grown cotton as their only crop will
now diversity their crops and only
grow cotton as a money crop.
The condition in Hardeman Coun-
ty is as follows:
Wheat-Acreage compared with
1898, &C per cent; damage by freeze
and flood 35 per cent.
Winter Oats-Damage by freeze
and food 40 per cent.
Cotton-Acreage compared with
1898, 80 per cent; prospect for 80
crop, 100 per cent.
Fruit Crop-Peaches damaged by
freeze, 90 per cent; apples, 10 per
cent; fruit trees, 10 per cent.
Berries Condition, 100 per cent;
damaged by freeze, 20 per cent.

The Mcclure Case Reversed

Special to The Commercial Appeal
HOLLY SPRINGS, Miss, April 10.
"A telegram from Jackson, Miss,
this afternoon states that the Su-
preme Court reversed the decision
of the lower court here in the case
of DR.. Mcclure, the dentist, who
was under sentence of death for
killing a man over thirty years ago.
DIR. Mcclure received the SEN
tence of the supreme penalty of the
law because of the laundering of
the jury. After the jury had
been discharged, at the Au-
gust term, 1898, and began to
miugle with the crowd, they were
eagerly questioned as to how they
reached such a verdict, when a
much lighter sentence was expected.
They explained that they thought
the Judge could fix a mild punish
ment of a few years and just return
ed the verdict of guilty. Although
the courts charge had deliberately
set forth the result of the different
verdiets they. might find, they did
not understand it, and were horri-
fed TO find that their verdict carried
the highest penalty. Judge Steph-
ems himself expressed surprise from
the bench at the verdict, but said
that he, of course, could only 60
by their findings.
At McGuire's first trial, Februa-
ry term, 1898, the result was hung

New York, Nov 27.-William F.
Miller supposed head of the Franklin
syndicate of Brooklyn, is badly want
ed by the police on the charge of con-
spiracy to defraud. Cecil Leslie, an

The Franklin syndicate by plausi-
BILE advertising accepted deposits for
investment of $1,000 and less, and
promised to pay 10 per cent. week on
these sums. 1t is estimated that hun

warned through the press, vast

There Is a Sure Way If You Will Only
Make Yourself Think So.

There Is a Sure Way If You Will Only
Make Yourself Think So.
1.-THE usual way people set about
stopping worry is q wrong one, - writes
Mary Boardman Page in The Ladies
Home Journal ''That is why it is so
unsuccessful. If doctor tells patient
he must stop worrying, the patient is
likely to say impatiently: oh, doctor,
don't I wish that I could! But can t.
If could have stopped worrying a year
ago, I would not be i'll now!' All Of
which is probably perfectly true. And
the doctor does not always know how
to help him. because both doctor and
patient have an idea that it is possible
to repress worry through an effort Of
the will. This is a mistake. 1t is not
possible to repress worry. You have got
to replace it with something else.
''Let me illustrate this by figure.
Suppose you were to go into a COM
pletely dark room, wishing it to be
light. How would you set about the
work? Would you try to scoop the
darkness up in buckets and carry it out
at the door? Not at all. You would
just open the windows and shutters
and let in the blessed sunlight. You
would replace the darkness with light.
So it is with worry. The only possible
way to get rid of it is to replace the
worry attitude Of mind with the non
worry attitude. And this can always
be done when the person is sincere and
patient in his desire to bring it about.
All he has to do is to be passive and let
nature have her own perfect way With
him.
