ICON AND CLAY ARE ON OPPOSITE SIDES
A FREAK OF THE RAIN.
A Flood Has Been Noted in Part
of Sahara Desert.

Since the beginning of October
there has been an extraordinary
drouth in some parts of the United
States. Particularly has the dedcien'
cy of moisture been noticeable in the
valley of the Ohio river. Streams and
wells have gone dry, and cattle and
humans have suffered for the want of
water. During the time the phenom-
enon of food in part of the Sahara
desert has been noted. About the
middle of October, according to cable
dispatches, two sections of the Alger-
ian Sahara was practically overWhelm-
ed with floods, and many lives were
lost. Several villages Cd the edge OF
the desert were almost swept away.

theory that certain amount of Preci-
pitation must occur each year, in one

UJDGF SHEFFIELD TALKS OF
RIjMOR THAT HE WOULD RESIGN

, see that some of the best lawyers In
the circuit would be candidates for
the judgeship in the event OF vacan-
CIV. These lawyers have a fine prac-
tice. Some of them have offered to
me some fees yet to be tried, and also
some good retainers. AS the law does
not allow judges to practice law some
of the lawyers have offered to turn
over to me retainers and fees amount
ing to much more than my salary for
the next two years. But l could not
afford 20 accept either the fees or the
retainers for more reasons than one.
SIN the first place, while there would
be no Improperly in having lawyer
who goes on the bench turn over his
practice to the judge who has just
gone of, yet do not think that the
Judge could afford to go off the bench
with that arrangement in view. 1t
strikes me that it would have the ap-
pearance of a trade; using of the Of
fee as sort of commercial commodity,
so to speak. There are other good
reasons against such course, but this
one seems enough for all purposes"

The Arlington Courier of Friday

with Judge II. C. Sheffield concerning
the rumor that has been current for
some time that he would probably re-

an early date.
Origin of ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Misconstrued

Judge Sheffield said:
"Well, have no objection to max

you refer grew out of talk made to
the grand jury of Randolph county

tent. did state that under certain

lana lie called "the swamp" but the
visitor would not think it a swamp
now. The water has disappeared, and
the land Is dry as bone. We haye
not had a good rain STAGE the 1lth of
August, and only few clOndy'days,
and the crops have been gathered
without drop OF rain. No fall oats
have been planted on account Of the
drouth, and not one farmer in ten has
q turnip patch. The lakes have all
dried up, many wells have gone dry
and had to be dug deeper, aud some
have dug new wells to help out the old
ones.
The crops OF all kinds have been
gathered and we're fine, as they we're
made before the drOuth set in. All
who held their cotton are 'down in
the mouth" and some who at one time
refused 81 cents are now rushing it on
the market at It cents. Others will
hold until spring.
The merchants and other business
men tell me that times are the duIlest
they have seen in many years. A
great many people have no money to
spend, and those who have money are
afraid TO let it 90. The drouth, the
boil weevil and the low price of cotton
have cast a gloom over the country,
and business is at a standstill. Last
year at thie time every man wore q
smile on his face, but now it is just
the reverse.
Labor is still scarce on the farms. It.
was thought that after the timber was
all cut the saw mills would move and
leave the labor, but that is no. the
case. They are still with US, and
seem to be here to stay. They have.
built railroads to the timber, and are
hauling it in some instances as far as
$50 miles to the mills. They run pas
seDger and freight trains in the day
and log trains at night. One of the
latter often consists of from IS TO 40
cars loaded with from ten to twenty
logs to the car. There are five such
mills in this parish, and their average
output is 100, coo feet of lumber a day.
which they sell at from SIS to $50 per
thousand. ]. n. HOFFMAN.
