Poor Crops in
Las Cruces

A Las Cruces dispatch says: The
wheat crop of the valley is the poorest
ever known. The ears have very
little grain and are what the MeXicans
call vano empty. The probable
cause is over-irrigation in the spring
when there was already plenty of
moisture, accompanied by unusually
cold nights and dull, chilly days.
The second cutting of alfalfa has
been harvested In good condition, and
will be worth money If there should
be no third cutting.
SO far the alfalfa fields have re-
ceived no water since the second cut.
ting, as the head Of the Las Cruces
and Mesilla bitches was washed out,
The people expect to have a new
head constructed within the next
eight days, but in the meantime the
river Is falling and it may be impos'
sible to get any more water this year
Considerable shipments CT peaches
apples, pears, plums and apricots are
being made daily. A few homegrown
c~antaloupes are already on the home
market and there will be green chill
in three or four days. !.

EMINENT DOMAIN BILL SIGNED.
Telephone Companies Given the Right
on Certain Conditions.

Governor Terrell has approved the
bill passed at the recent session of the
Legislature which gives telephone
companies the right of eminent do
main on condition that they subject
themselves to the supervision of the
railroad commission.
Before action was taken attorneys
appeared before the governor and a
hearing was had. T. w. Rucker and
J. w. Fitzpatrick opposed the bill, urg-
ing that it be vetoed on the ground
that 1t was unconstitutional. They
stated they represented parties whose
interests were opposed to the bill The
strongest opponents to the bill were
the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, because the measures gives the
Postal equal rights with it, and GER
tain railroads which object to poles
being placed along their lines.
Hunt Chipley, general counsel for
the Southern Bell Telephone Company,
urged that the bill was constitutional
and asked the governor to approve it,
which he did.
AS matter of fact, however, the
bill does not put telephone companies
under the supervision of the railroad
commission. 1t merely makes their
submission to the supervision of the
commission a condition precedent to
the enjoyment of the privileges grant
ed in the bill, No telephone company
has to accept these privileges unless it
so desires.

struck Atlanta Wednesday at noon.
The state capitol was struck twice by
lightning. Many window panes in the
building were shattered and the corri-

came in through the broken skylights.
officials and visitors were badly
frightened. Water did more damage
than the lightning, however.
The Kimball house was struck by

Many persons in the streets were

SONGS THAT REACH THE HEART
"Suwanee River and Dixie" Cheer
ed in Germany.

'Suwanee River and Dixie" Cheer
ed in Germany.
"Sitting in an auditorium in Ger
many an orchestra of sixty musicians
were giving a concert to a cultured au-
dience," says Al G. Field, the min
strel. "Classics were applauded and
the more popular music of the day
familiar to German audiences was rec
ognized by general applause. Near
the end of the program selection
was made termed American Echoes.
The first air was Way Down Upon
the Suwanee River. Immediately the
melody seemed to thrill the assem-
blage. AS melody succeeded melody, a
cakewalk following a plantation song,
the feet of the hundreds there gather
ed were beating time to the music.
When the selection concluded with
Dixie the greatest applause of the
evening went up from the audience,
not ten of whom knew anything of the
sentiment or the inspiration OF the
music. They just listened. The tuneful
melodies found their way into their
hearts. When the glamOr of the years
has thrown its veil over the tunes OF
the times some DAY in the future they
will be recorded as classic and re-
vared accOr6inUlV -
