lieve The crop on the Prairie

JASPER OPPOSES
 BESSEMER COUNTY
j. M. WILLIAMS SAYS HE WILL SEND A 105-POUND WATER MELON TO PRESIDENT BRYAN
 AT WHITE HOUSE NEXT YEAR.

Jasper, July s. (Special.) - Walker county will make a strenuous kick against the proposition to have any part of it ceded to the new county pro- posed for Bessemer. These people claim that the geographical lines are now drawn just as they want them; that the whole people of the county are closely united in an effort for the development of their wonderful resources; that splendid court house is now being erected at cost of $200,O00, for which the people are to pay; that the county Is growing rapidly under the impetus of united effort; and that 1t would be an outrage for the county to be cut up just to gratify the ambition of Besse- mer.
 J. M. Williams, a prosperous farmer who lives near Pocahontas, in this county Is the boss watermelon grower of this section. His melons are simply monstrosities mighty sweet and de- one to the Hon. William Jennings Bryan that weighed 101 pounds. He proposes to send him one to the Whit, House next year that will weight 105 pounds, and boasts that his melons are 16 to 1 larger, better and sweeter than any others produced. Just how he makes them so large Is secret of MT. Williams.

LIGHTNING WRECKS BED BUT
 SLEEPER IS UNINJURED

Decatur, July pecial.)-Elmer Glow CT, a railroad man who resides at Moulton Heights, had an experience which he will not soon forget yesterday afternoon.
 During a thunderstorm lightning struck g metal clothes line and passing over this line ran into the house, tearing an entire corner of the building out and striking the bed in which Elmer Glover slept, and made kindling wood out of the legs. The crash of the lightning aroused MT. Glover from his slumbers, but strange to say he vas not in the least injured, although he vas very badly frightened.
