 ''Ths crops are in worse condition at this season of the year than at any time since 1S73." said the Commission er. T say this without any uualifi- cation and after careful investigation. Conditions are worse than they were in 1873. because of the present scarcity of labor. and the increase of Johnson grass.
 ''rhousands of acres in West Ala bama have not been touched with hoe or blow. The ground is water-sogged and farmers cannot get into their fields. Labor is scarce everywhere and the farmers are depressed and gloomy"

RABBIT HUNTING
A Word Concerning the Way to Deal With the
 Cotton Tails.

at his fastest gait, the hunter that shoots him has good reason to be ssatis- fled with his marksmanship. I once actually poked one up and he escaped unhurt. tho four loads of shot were sent after him.
 Tn the main, however, dogs must be relied upon for the real enjoyment ana success of rabbit hunting. The fastest dogs are not the best, because they arc apt to chase the rabbit so swiftly and closely that he quickly betakes him. self to hole or other safe shelter. in- stead of relying upon his running ability. The paying of three or four good dogs steadily following a little cotton-tail should be as exhiiarating and as pleasant to ears attuned to the music as if the chase were for bigger game. As the music is heard more dis tinctly, the hunter is allowed to fat ter himself that his acute judgment can determine the route of the ap- preaching game and the precise point from which an advantageous shot can be secured. The self-satisfled conceit aroused by fortunate guess concern ing this important detail. especially if supplemented by a fatal shot, should permit the lucky gunner to enjoy as fully the complacent pleasurahle per- suasion that the entire achievement Is due to his sagacity. keenness and skill as tho the animal circumvented were a larger beast. Tn either case the hunter experiences the delight born of a well-fed sense of superiority and self-pride; and this. notwithstanding all attempts to keep 1t in the back ground. is the mosa gratifying factor in every sporting indulgence.
 Some people speak sllghtingiy of the rabbits eating qualities. This must be an abject surrender to fad or fashion. At any rate it is exceedingly unjust to the cotton-tail and one who can relish tender chicken and refuse to eat nicely cooked rabbit is, believe, victim of unfounded prejudices
 Why, then, should not rabbit hunt ing, when honorably pursued. be given a respectable place among gunnIng acc tivitiesf It certainly has every ele- ment of rational outdoor recreation. Ig ministers to the most exhilarating anG healthful exercise; 1t furnishes sav- ing relief from care and overworx: it is free from wantonness and inexcus- able destruction of animal life. and. if luck favors. 1t gives play to innocent but gratifying self-conceit
 Let us remember. however, that iK rabbit hunting is to be a manly out door recreation, entirely free from meanness. and a sport in which a true hunter can indulge without shame, the little cotton tail must in all circum- stances be given fair chance for his life.

 The rain began at 1O:o5 o'clock m., as a mere drizzle. accompanying thunderstorm which moved over heavy by 10:3S a. m.. and by 10:40 fa was falling fin veritable torrents. Over three inches fell in an hour. The rainfall was mostly local. though it extended some distance southeast and east of here

 During the rainstorm the water fell so rapidly as to overtax the drainage and the sidewalks and streets were flooded in some downtown districts. Very little wind accompanied the storm, but the lightning was quite sharp and near.
 The maximum temperature in Mont- Romery yesterday was 89. the average being 7s. Tho minimum temperature during the day was 6S and the normal temperature was 75. The temperature at ' a. m, was IT, and at ! p. m. 1t was "A.

Grover Cleveland, ex-President of the United States. in The Independent. Because rabbit shooting is seasonabie only in late fall or winter weather the mention of 1t Is calculated to suggest
 shivering chiils, cold feet numb fingers and all sorts of heavy clothing. At first blush. therefore. it may not seem to be exactly an appropriate topic to be given a place in a magazine de- signed for midsummer reading. On
 second thought. however, hope 1t will not be deemed amiss that the torridity
 of such a magazine should be tempered by a cooling admixture limiting of rec
 reation free from dog-day swelter. and
 reminding the reader that season Is on it's way which brings with 1t out door sport exempt from summer heat and unvexed ''by the stings and arrows of outrageous" gnats. flies or mosqui- toes. It is quite within reason to sup pose that the addition of rabbit hunt ing to the ingredients that simmer in summer recreative reading might De as refreshing as the addition Of ice to an otherwise tepid summer tipple

WILLIAMS TRIAL.
Arguments in Ghe Murder Case al
 CulIman.

Arguments in the Murder Case at
 Cullman.
 Cullman, May S0.--(Special. )-The argument began late yesterday after noon and was opened by Solicitor D. c. Almon for the State, who briefly reviewed the testimony. showing the falsity and ridiculousness the defen- dant's statement, the weakness of the testimony of defendants witnesses and the coolness and delibieration with which he carried out his murderous designs.
 Earl Pettus. attorney for the de- fense. began his argument this morn ing. For three hours he held the court and audience in rapt attention. deliv- ering a strong and forcible plea un- der trying circumstances. Ills argu- ment was etsed largely upon the plea set forth by tbe defense that there was a possibility of the fatal ball coming from Deputy DunIap's gun that killed Senator Hipp. The essence of his speech, however. was to draw sympa- thy from the jury and save his clients neck.
 The closing argument for the State will begin this afternoon by John A '. Lusk. of GuntersvilIe, when the case will go to the jury
