WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.

Below is U. S. Department of
Agriculture's crop bulletin for
week ending July IA:
Wheat is more than half thresh-
ed the former estimates of a light
yield are verified. Corn has made
a very rapid growth and shows
considerable improvement. The
tobacco is doing very we'll; some is
being topped Oats are being har-
vested; the yield will be short,
though winter oats are generally
good. Hay cutting has progressed
we'll. In the western portion of
tho State the crop is good, but it
is generally light elsewhere. Clio
yer has yielded fairly well. Past
ures are in fair condition, but need
more rain. Irish potatoes are very
good. Gardens are in need of
rain. Apples have been affected
by the hot weather and are drop
ping badly in some localities.
There is an immense crop OF
blackberries. Hemp is doing fairly
we'll, but needs more rain.

THE WORLDS GRANARY.
The inspiring vet almos

The inspiring yet almost in
conceivable figures given out by
the Department of Agriculture in
estimating the grain crops of the
present year show that this coun-
try is still the worlds bread
basket The official report sug-
gests the several crops as follows:
1903. 1902.
Bushels. Bushels.
Winter-Wheat 456, 100000 411,7S8, $50
Spring Wheat. 235,ooo,ooo 25S,274, 342
Corn -. .....2, 233, 100000 2,523, 62S,ooo
Oats .........- 49,, 100000 9S7,S42,7I2
The falling off in the prospec-
tive yield of winter wheat is almost
made good by the increase in the
spring wheat, while the corn crop,
it is estimated, will be nearly three
hundred million bushels less than
last year. The weather since July
1, however, has been very favorable
to all grain crops and particularly
to corn. America will still be
ready to feed the world-at price.

THE GOVERNORS QUICK PARDON.

Pine Buff, May 5.-Ulysses

heimer, was tonight released
from the Jefferson county Jail,
after serving a portion of a twen-
tv-four hours sentence assessed
on him by Judge A. B. Grace Of
the Eleventh judicial circuit for
contempt. He was released on
? pardon from Governor Davis.
Young AItheimer was a wit
ness for the defense yesterday in
a gambling case which was on
trial before Judge A, B. Grace.
and one Of the questions asked
bv counsel for the state was
.wheGner he was not a gambler.
He refused to answer the Ques-
ton ana the prosecuting attorney
appealed to the court, who or
dered him to answer. At first
Altheimer still refused to comply,
but finally he said, addressing
the Judge, that he did not con-
slider himself a gambler, but Wis
tied gambling house the same as
the judge did.
Altheimer then left the stand
and the courtroom. Before he
had gone far he Was Overtaken
by an officer, who served on him
a warrant for contempt. He was
taken before Judge Grace this
morning and sentenced to serve
twenty-four hours in jail, and
was irmediateIy senr to the
county jail.
This afternoon he telephOnQd
Governor Davis and a pardon
was granted.
Louis Altheimer was a witness
before the committee Of the leg
islaturo which investigated the
controversy between Governor
Davis and the other members Of
the penitentiary board over the
purchase Of the Cummins- place.
His testimony was favorable to
Governor Davis.
Judge Grace and Gov. Davis
are bitter enemies.
There are those who say Gov
ernor Davis has no right to par
don a person sentenced for con-
tempt Of court.
