HEFLIN
Farmers of the Community Are Very Much Discouraged About Crops.

Heflin, August S-(Special.)-There has not been sufficient rain here to wet the ground to the depth of one inch since the 14th of April. Consequently gardens, the oat crop, early planted corn and po- tatoes are a complete failure. The cot ton crop is cut off at least half. Should rain fall within two weeks, the late plant ed bottom lands would yield fairly good crop. Of course farmers are greatly dis heartened. especially those who have bought western corn at $1.10 per bushel and trust bacon at 16 cents per pound.
 There are six saw mills and three char coal companies operating within a radius of five miles of this place. They give em- ployment and sustenance to a large num- Der of persons. It Is not an unusual sight here to sec a half million feet of sawed lumber on the yards, awaiting shipment.

One Hundred Years of Trousers.

From the London Telegraph.
 Most people will be surprised to hear that trousers, as at present worn by the male portion of humanity, have just celebrated their centenary, but. according to Fashion, such is undoubtedly the case They "came in' on account of the high living prevalent hundred years ago. This produced a good deal of gout, whose twinges the tight-fitting costume in use at that period made unbearable. Hence the invention of the wider form of garment which soon became popular and was adopted Among the dandies of the pe- riod, however the new style was regarded with contempt. and when Almack's was at its height as fashionable resort the great Duke of Wellington was once re- fused admission because he presented himself in trousers instead of the (for that time) orthodox neither garments. So far has their sway now extended that they threaten to supplant even the Scot tish kilt.

Russia Has the Most Horses.

From Leisure Hour.
 Recent debates in parliament have not only drawn attention to the ethics of horse dealing, but to the fact that warfare wants more horses than it did, so many, in fact, that the supply may not be equal to the demand. From a survey of the worlds supplies ll is evident that the one power that has profited most by the new order of things is Russia. European Russia alone, with it's ten horses to the square mile, owns a quarter of the horses on the face of the earth. Including Po- land and Finland, the Russian horses west of the Urals number 21,639, ,000, and the army has 577,000 when on a war footing, or more than the armies of Germany, Austria, France and Italy combined. Further, if the European powers decided to mount all the men in their armies, they would not be able to find two horses apiece for them, while Russia could find eight horses for every man. The predomi- nance of Russia in the horse world Is a significant fact that has not re- ceived the attention that it deserves. For some years now the importation of Russian horses into England has been increasing, and at the present time, in the ordinary way of business, Russia sends us about a sixth of our foreign horse supply, and it Is only exceeded in numbers by the United States.
 The horse 1t sends to us is not a Al N1 kx of A<7 judged from it's average import value being only G11, but is as good thing to get about on as any of its more advertised relatives. In the Napole- onic war the native horse lived while the French horse died, and the native horse came across Europe, greeted everywhere with derision, but carry ing It's rider to Paris. In the Crimea we had the same experience with horses as we are now having in South Africa. Those we sent died; they could not stand the climate, but the native horses stood 1t, and the only others that did so were the little Arabs from the islands of the Levant, which 1t is necessary to mention, lest it be supposed that ugliness in horse flesh is indispensable for military op- erations in eastern Europe. Among us, the Russian horse of all sorts, hardy as he unquestionably is, requires acclimatizing. and breaks down in a week if set to work at once, as in- deed would all horses, more or less. It is only in lines of stress that any man of sense puts horse, fresh from sea voyage, on to corn for a day or two, and then draft him to hard labor.
