CHILD DELIGHTED
 TO SEE ITS MAMA End of a Celebrated Case In- t vOIving the Custody
 of a Child

Cardon Hill. May 4-(Special.) )-J. Guss Pearce today delivered his 2-year-old son, Clovis, to his mother May E. Pearce, in pursuance to decree of Chancellor Car michael some days ago.
 This case has attracted graet deal of attention in this section owing to the prominence of the persons. A separation took place between MT. and Mrs. Pearce last June and during Mrs. Pearce's ab- sence on a pleasure trip, J. Guss Pearce removed the child Clovis to his father s, James Pearce at Pearce's Mills.
 A few months ago May E. Pearce filed a petition in the chancery court of Walk CT County for the custody of her child and Chancellor Carmichael rendered de- cree granting her the custody of the child and directed that 1t be delivered to her within five days. This J. Guss Pearce fail ed to do and a writ of attachment was issued against him by the Chancellor, the case being heard by the Chancellor few days ago in Birmingham. decree was rendered by the Chancellor last Fri day directing that J. Guss Pearce be placed in jail until he caused the child to be delivered to it's mother.
 Sheriff Moore arrested him last Satur- day and yesterday he sent to Pearce's s Mills for the child, delivering it today and was released from custody. Although the child had not seen it's mother for six months the little fellow began to clap his hands and exclaim mama" at sight of her. The case will probably be appealed.

CROP REPORT ISSUED.
Over Great Part of South Drought Has
 Hurt Crop.

Washington, May A.-The following Is the weather bureaus weekly summary of crop conditions:
 While the week has been abnormally cool in the upper Mississippi and Mis- souri valleys with frosts more or less damaging in the Missouri valley, the temperature conditions as a whole have been favorable, but the area needing rain Is much greater than in the previous serious, especially in the Gulf states. In the Southern states the corn crop is very uneven, has made slow growth and is generally in need of rain although show CTS have afforded some relief. Over the greater part of the Southern states the crops have suffered much from drought and is now needing rain in the liver Mis- souri valley.
 In the Western and Central portions and over a considerable area in the East ern part of the cotton belt rain is much needed for cotton. That planted since the cold of the latter part of April has germinated poorly. the stands being very irregular and unsatisfactory generally throughout the Central and Western dis tricts. In the Carolinas fair to good stands and greatly improved conditions are reported. Tobacco is doing we'll in Florida. Transplanting is about finished in South Carolina and has made rapid progress in North Carolina and prepara- tion for this work Is well advanced in Maryland, Virginia and Tennessee. Plants are generally plentiful and al- though small in some sections have gen. orally made rapid growth.

HARD FIGHT.
Wenia Was Too Tough for ScanIon and
 Put Him Out.

Hot Springs, Ark, May H-One of the hardest-fought battles ever witnessed in the local arena took place tonight at Wilmington Park between Al Wenig, the ex-bicycle rider, and Jim Scanlan. From the sound of the gong In the first round until near the end of the seventh 1t was a slugging match on both sides. The first four rounds ended with honors about even, the advantage being slightly in Scanlans favor. Wenig played on Scan- lan's jaw and chin when not in clinches, and when the latter occurred he pounded him unmercifully on the ribs. Scanlan fought well and administered a severe beating to Wenig, but the latter was too tough for him, having the advantage of weight and height. In the sixth round the men remained clinched throughout, punching each other in the ribs and kid neys. In the seventh round two or three blows in rapid succession on Scanlan's 8 chin and jaw made him punching bag for Wenig, placing him completely at his mercy, and the referee declared the Buff falo boy the winner.

proving, offers of itself a strong argu- ment in favor of the cross-saddle."
 She also says: "In order to lose flesh in riding it is necessary to maintain a steady trot, which is impossible on the side-saddle." This may all be true; but we boldly assert and propose to maintain at all hazards, that no 25O pound woman, or of lesser weight, for that matter, will ever be seen churning herself up and down astride of a trotting horse except those that first saw the light beyond that historic line that is said to separate Dixie from Yankee Doodle.

Charley Herr.
BY A. E. CAFFEE

Here. indeed, is a noble, brave horse. His owner, MT. Cahill, however, has over tasked the faithful, feet-footed Charley in his ambition to defeat the champions, The Abbott and Cresceus. "Hawley" writes that he saw Charley Herr a few days ago and he was looking wonderfully well for horse that had raced so much Truly this has been a remarkable trotter, and seems to grow better each year. It is doubtful if any horse from the Blue Grass ever more endeared himself to the trotting public thareN this stout-hearted stallion. Even Nancy Hanks herself seems to have been supplanted in the af- fections of the race going public. Charley Herr is one of the few trotters we know of who has been honestly driven to win every heat in which he started, and he seemed at an early age to have caught the sentiment and imbibed the principle of honesty from his owner, for he all ways tries, and is always on a trot, two characteristics most valuable in a trotting race horse, and such that make him a very hard horse to beat; in fact, when fit, Charley Herr Is never beaten until the race is over. It is to be hoped that he trains on this season. for the plucky lit- tie Irishman who owns him has mapped out some very difficult tasks for him, and from the time he makes his first start until the end of the year he will have to race from 'eend to eend," as ''Old John Harper" would put it. He has raced so much in good company and frequently against adverse circumstances that his gameness cannot be questioned nor his speed doubted, and while 1t would seem that the task before him Is an herculean one, that of defeating the two champions, he may accomplish the feat, and if the hopes and good wishes of all lovers of an honest, courageous horse can avail anything his success Is assured.
 Charley Herr was not bred by his pres- ent owner, David Cahill, as believed by many, but the credit of having bred the famous trotter belongs to D. D. Herr.

Two New. Cases of smalIpox-FertiI-
 izer Factory.

Florence, May 14. - Especially - The health officer reports two new cases of smallpox which came from Mt. Pleasant, Tenn. One negro was found in an ex- hausted condition on the Louisville and Nashville tracks near the city and taken to the pesthouse. The other case came from Mt. Pleasant a week ago and devel- oped today. No cases have developed ex- cept those exposed to the Boyd family, and the situation is very much improved Ten cases have died out of the thirty-four to date. Of these cases, six have come from Mt Pleasant and Sheffield. pr. s. N. Gonzales, late smallpox expert for the United States army in the province of Pinar del Rio, Cuba, writing to Mayor Weakley. states that there are but two things to do for smallpox-isolate the pa- tents and vaccinate the people," The ex- citement in the city has begun to wane and conditions will be normal again in few days. ....as
 The Tennessee Valley Fertilizer Com pany held Its annual meeting the last of the week and decided to increase their present capacity one-third for next sea- son. Work will begin at once on the ad- ditional buildings and new machinery will be ordered The factory has only been in operation three years and has made a phenomenal success. The company Is now opening phosphate mine near Law renceburg, Tenn, and will mine and use their own phosphate rock next season.
 Capt. A. J. Walker, one of the best known cotton planters in north Alabama and government reporter for the Agricul- tural Department. says that the cotton acreage is per cent greater than that of last year but the crop is at least 10 per cent off compared with last year at this time. All the lowland cotton had to be planted over again after the cold spell of last month, and much seed now in the ground Is rotting and will have to be planted over again. As it is late and seed scarce 1t, Is thought that a good deal of cotton land will be planted in corn. The rains of yesterday have been very bene- ficial to crops.
