"A Fine Horse.

Uncle Dick Skinner returned Sat.
urday from the State Fair with his
fine Morgan stallion.
He was awarded three prizes, the
first for a stallion with three of his
colts. One of the colts then went
out and took first prize.
These were in the American Car
riage Horse class.
The horse also took two sweep
stakes prizes including medal.
Meade county can justly feel
proud that we have a horse of this
class. Very few realized it either
until these prizes were awarded.
Uncle Dick is very proud of his
horse and has right to be.

II n says that Third Officer Hawse

whose sworn report of the disaster
fled with the federal Inspector.
charged Captain Hansen OF the San
Pedro with refusing to aid in the
rescue OF the stricken passengers, is
now charged by survivors who occu-
pied the same boat with him with
conduct more cruel than that specified
by him in his formal report. The
charges made against Hawse are:
l. Refusing To give his coat to an
unconscious woman rescued from the
water in freezing condition. his re-
mark being: my coat is my own"
2. Ordering a sailor to strike .
crippled man whom he believed occu-
ried too much space in the life boat
3. Sitting calmly In the stern sheets
OF the boat and refusing to assist in
dragging men and women from the

ments. The passengers arriving here

Affairs In the little village Of Kerisova,
near Lugos. which at the last census
had a population OF $500 souls. One
BY one the male residents OF KerIsova
heard the call across the water, and
they emigrated In patches until such
time as the mayor was the only adult
male to remain by the village. Finally
he also succumbed to the reports OF
eovd wsres and golden chances in
America sent back by his fellow towns
men and. packing his trunk. he made
his way to the emigrant ship at Fiume.
As a result OF this exodus OF males.
- women OF Kerisova have just elect
ed n young woman to the position OF
mayor and other female residents have
been elected to fill the remainder Of
the municipal Offices. The statutes in
Hungary provide that no female shall
hold public Office. and according 10
the letter OF the law. the presence of
the women In Office is Illegal

CLASH WITH FRENCH TROOPS.
Riot Follows Attack by Soldiers and
Fresh Outbreak Is Feared.

Perpignan. France.-Many civilians
were injured when the police pre-
vented a riot here Thursday. II
Is feared that fight between clti-
zens and the Twenty fourth Colonial
regiment may take place at any time.
The soldiers OF the regiment were
forced 10 remain in their barracks as
result Of a recent fight. The civil
ians surrounded the barracks where
the soldiers were confined Just as
the mob crowded close to the walls
the soldiers rushed To the windows
and hurled down stones and beams
that they had torn from the partitions
of the structure within. Many were
hurt and. great excitement followed.
The police had anticipated trouble and
rushed into the square. driving out the
citizens. after the wounded had been
carried away. and practically holding
the imprisoned soldiers in state OF
siege. The trouble Is said to have de-
veloped from III feeling engendered at
the time of the wine growers strike.

HEAT AGGRAVATED CONDITION
Cotton, However, Suffered Very
Little Damage.

Memphis, Tenn. 49, Throughout the
central and eastern cotton belt the
crops progress was less rapid during
the week than for several weeks pre-
ceding. This was due To excessively
high temperature.
The best report still comes from Geor-
gia and the Carolinas, where expecta-
tions approximate those of last year.
Elsewhere over the belt, while corre-
spondents note general improvements,
expectations for the yield are still
much below what is termed a good
crop.
Arkansas.-The high temperature
over this State has not been accomps-
MED by showers. The older cotton is
fruiting we'll and all the cotton looks
healthy.
Alabama-The hot weather improved
the cotton plant, which shows improve
ment for the week. Southern and parts
OF eastern Alabama have an excellent
crop. In the central and northern
portions of the State conditions are ir-
regular.
Mississippi.-The crop stood the heat
Of the week without damage. The
plant is in much the same condition as
last week and many very favorable re-
ports are received.
Tennessee.-The plant has done well
during the week. No damage has re-
suited from the heat so far and the
plant is fruiting in an excellent manner.
Many correspondents state that condi-
tions are the best Of the season so far.
Texas. weeks weather was uni
versally favorable to cotton through
out the State. The heat was in nowise
damaging and the crop made rapid
growth. Less activity is reported
among the boil weevil, owing to the
heat and dry weather.

A Prophecy as TO Wheat.

unquestionably those now living
may see the time when in some years
the United States will import wheat
II surplus can be found anywhere.
As a rule, however. we may expect
TO continue to export grain forever.
The Oldest and most densely popu-
lated countries OF the world continue
TO export grain. and while the world
endurcs there will always be ex.
changes OF surpluses. As 10 our pro.
ductton we are probably nearing our
maximum under present methods of
cultivation. IL is. however. easily pos.
sible to double our output by better
methods OF agriculture which we shall
gradually adopt as increasing prices
caused by the pressure Of population
warrant the increased outlay in pro-
ductiou.
