DIR. aud Mrs. W. j. Rhymes
returned last Saturday from their
trip to San Francisco. They spent
about one month on their trip,
and retired home highly pleased
with their outing in the Western
States.
"A heavy rain and wind storm
visited this section Monday eve-
ming. The rain was heavy enough
to satisfy the want Of the planters.
The wind lasted just about one
minute and did not do any great
damage. We do not believe that
the wind could do any damage to
the crops because they are all
small with the exception Of the
corn crop. But. altogether the
rain came in good time as all the
planters were in need of it.

Ram Keeps Steadily Growing.

were alive and had taken root and
were growing and that In their up

barn. Last spring the barn was on
stills nine feet high, and he put in a
new floor and surrounded the posts
with siding, thereby making a two

of twelve inches between the new

the owners for the nugget. There is cas-

victory for Nardaman the Democrats made nomina-
tons tor candidates for the Legislature and in doing
so they assured the election of Legislature pledged
to maintain the present system of public schools for
white and black. Thus the Legislative vote cancels
or at least contradicts the vote for Governor and
outsiders are left to decipher best they the
true status OF the political sentiment.
good many Southern papers declare that the
vote Tor Vardaman was designed as a rebuke to the
President because of his alleged revival OF the
issue in politics. Such declarations hardly worth
noting except as evidence of the desire OF even
the Bourbon Southerners to find an excuse for the
election OF such such platform as Gov
ernor of a Southern State
The negroes of Mississippi are reported to be
much alarmed over the situation as the more credu
ous among them are circulating that it is the
intention of Vardaman TO deprive them not only of
their schools, but of their property. A good many
OF them have arranged to leave the State and wide
spread spirit of dscontent and uneasiness exists
among them. Such feeling will of course disturb
the relations between the two races and the whites in
the end may suffer much as the blacks Evidently
the Democrats Of Mississippi have made mistake
and no amount of explaining will wholly undo its i'll
effects.

MIssIssIPPI POLITICS.

TOR an understanding of Mississippi politics
r. there is needed carefully drawn diagram with
an elaborate array of explanations on the mar
gin. The diagram has not yet been forthcoming,
but there are plenty OF explanations In fact the
press of the Southern States is full of them, and
everything would be satisfactory were it for the
fact that the explanations themselves about as
confusing as the facts they undertake to explain.
1t is agreed that Vardaman sought the Democratic
nomination for Governor as an avowed representa-
tive of the "anti-nigger' element in the State. In
the of his he not only advocated clos
ing all schools for negroes except those that could
be maintained by school taxes paid by negroes, but
he declared himself opponent of negro education
altogether On that platform he defeated conser-
vative candidate of high character, receiving the
nomination, which is equivalent to election and ac-
cordinglyvill be Governor of Mississippi
On that showing might safely conclude that
majority of the Democratic voters in Mississippi
are OF the reactionay type and would like TO reduce
the negro to the old slavery if they could There
appears to be other way of understanding the Sc
lection OF such a man as Vardaman to be the STAN
dard bearer OF the party and Governor Of the State
However, there remains another phase of the story

SAN JoAQUIN's CROP
OF POTATOES SMALLER
Acreage of Onions About the Same as
Last Season and Prices
Good

STOCKTON. Sept. There is but an
acreage of 1900 of potatoes in San Jo-
quin County this season, against 2s,O0O
last year. Not only is the acreage small
but the yield per acre is from 20 to 25 per
cent less They are now selling at from
S5 to 90 cents a sack, as against 80 to 40
cents last season at the opening. AS to
onions, the prices range from 60 to 20
cents sack which is trihe higher than
the previous season. and the prices are
better sustained. The acreage this year
Is about the same as last year, or per-
haps trifie less. There is an unusual
condition in the fact that the onions are
rather small. From fifteen to twenty
carloads of potatoes and onions are daily
shipped from Stockton to Arizona, Texas
and New Mexico.
Against $4,000 acres of beans last year
there are 5000 this season. Prices are
considerably higher than last season.
when beans were from 81 to 81 10 per
Genital; this year they bring from 81 so
to 81 60. The yield is poor. Vegetables in
San Joaquin County are having an off
year.
