Yet by far the greater number If reports describe excellent conditions. and even those which note unfavorable condi- tions state that the damage has been scarcely apprecable. In the matter of drouth the fear exists for the future, and ia not founded on facts of the past 4he low temperature checked slightly the growth of cotton in scattered sections, but toward the end of the week gave way to hot days and nights Rainfall dur ing the week was largely local and this left sections untouched which would have been benefited In Arkansas most points received moderate showers, which were of great benefit and as a result reports from that state average we'll Mississippi has sections which report rain as being needed.

Opinion Of Judge Niles.

The full text of the decision of
Judge Niles of the Federal Court
in the famous G. 0. d. liquor in
functions to all the wholesale
liquor dealers appearing as COM
plainants, and upholds their right
to ship liquor into the State.
In part, Judge Niles says:
so long as whisky is recogni,
zed as an article of commerce,
and is in the hands of the express
company. to be delivered by it
on orders made in good faith. and
believed by the shippers to be
such order. the liquors are not
subject to seizure by the State Of
ficers. Under the commerce
clause of the constitution intox-
icating liquors shipped from
one State into another on con-
tract is interstate commerce and
can not be controlled by State
laws"
We don't presume that the de-
cjsion was a surprise to any one
as the law seemed clear. There
will be many devices suggested
to aid prohibition. but the thing
is for the people to get right and
quit giving patroage. we have
too many laws already and too
few enforced.

The Gamblers Dream
BY MAUD GILLIS

dreamed of my mother last night
And the old home DER the hill;
Where bloomed the roses rare and bright
In the garden cool and still.
Over the meadows far and wide,
Was drift of clover pink;
The hllies nodded side by side,
Upon the rivers brink,
saw the orchard where played,
In my happy childhood hours;
The hills, where once strayed.
Il And gathered the wildwood flowers.
saw the dnsky bats awing,
In the azure vault, the stars shown
out;
] heard the call of night bird ring,
And husky voice of laborer shont
As | sit here tonight, it comes again
And the clink of the gold Crews DIM
And soothe the fire of my burning
brain,
With the touch of the goblet's brl'n.
