Scarcity of Peas.
From the Evergreen Courant.

From the Evergreen Courant.
 There has perhaps not been a time In many years when peas were as scarce as they are in Evergreen this season. Merchants can't get them at any price, and farmers say they will have some difficulty In procuring seed for planting Ordinary COW peas will bring $l per bush- el, and white peas will bring $1.50. Farm CTS should not forget to plant an ample supply of peas this year. Peas are al- ways salable.

Governed Without Consent.

From the Attalla Mirror.
 The seven Florida counties west of the Chattahoochee river. which desire to be annexed to Alabama. are as follows: Calhoun, Escambia, Holmes. Jackson, Santa Rosa, Walton and Washington. If annexation takes place 1t will be neces- sary to change the names of four of them Calhoun, Escambia. Jackson and Washington-for the reason that Ala barna already has counties by those names. By the way. the annexation movement seems to be on in earnest, so far as the Flortdans are concerned, and the inference is that if the rest of their state does not consent to the severancs the annexationists will then be governed without their consent. Here's a point worthy of the attention ef selicitous "anti-imperialists.''

the cheerful information that the Hav-

him for three days, and had then sent
him hcme under friendly escort.
Thereupon Bass returned to Williams,

Blaze in the Basement.

At 1920 o'clock this morning the blaze
broke from the building occupied by
Hunt, Wilkinson & Co. 1t Is said that an
explosion of naphtha or gasoline in the
basement was the cause, but this is de-
MED by Mr. Wilkinson, who says there
never was sufficient quantity of either
explosive about the building to be re-
sponsble for today's disaster. Rumor has
it also that an elevator constructor at
work in the basement permitted the flame
of his lantern to communicate with some
of the gaseous liquids stored in the base
hagration.
