The crops in Lee county at
the time the rains of the past
ten days set III were in fine con-
dition and there was every ev-
cry evidence of an abundant har-
vest. Old corn was not good,
but has improved a great deal.
The large crop OF young corn
was never more promising and
unless the rains continne too long
the yield from the young crop
will be most gratifying. Cotton
was doing as we'll as could be
expected and continues in fire
condition. Too much rain in
sections of the county has caused
shedding, but other sections have
not had too much. The crop of
this year has been cultivated
better than any previous crop,
and the condition of the soil is
such that it will carry an excess
of moisture without much dam
age to the plant.

tone are much better than a

resumed operations and some of
the mills are running over time

are on the eve of an era of pros

One Hour a Day.

One hour a day withdrawn

WILL FIGHT INCREASED RATES

There seems to be a general
disposition to resist the advance
of freight rates as proposed by
the general managers and traffic
officials of the railroads south of
the Ohio and west of the Missis-
sippi rivers. The railroad COM
missions of the various states
and many of the commercial DO.
dies of the towns and cities in the
territory to be effected by the
increase of rates, have spoken
out against the advance and in a
number of instances already
steps have been taken to enjoin
the roads. In some sections of
the country the railroads have
found it almost impossible to Sc
cure funds with which to meet
interest as it falls due. This
condition was brought about by
a too liberal use of the roads
credit when times were flush, and
the issuance of bonds on over
capitalization. With the cutting
off of receipts the roads found
that their obligations could not
be met from the business they
were doing at the rates in force.
With the approach of the fall
business the roads in the south
should be able to operate without
an increase of the rates. There
is a prospect of a very large cot
ton crop which will briug many
millions of dollars to the roads
between this and the first of
January. Along all lines there
is evidence of marked improve
ment in business, and the roads
will be the first to profit by this
improvement. There should be
no increase until it is found that
the roads cannot operate with
out it.

Forgot Bryan's Specially.
Governor Sheldon. of Nebr

Governor Sheldon, of Nebras-
ka, tells the following story
about his famous fellowstates-
man, William ]. Bryan, says the
Philadelphia Ledger. Early in
his career Bryan made a tour of
Nebraska, speaking for the
Democratic candidate. He at
tackled the Republican candidate
with a bitterness and vigor sell
dom equaled. The Republican
won. After the Election there
was a great harvest home festi-
val in Lincoln, at which the Gov
ernor. elect presided and at
which Mr.. Bryan was asked to
speak. He sat on the stage hot
and uncomfortable, facing the
man he had called every name
in the calendar. It was one of
those functions where someone
sang, then someone spoke, then
someone read the Declaration of
independence, and then someone
played a solo on a cornet, and
again someone sang.
When it came Bryan's turn
the presiding officer stepped to
the front of the platform and
said:
Now, | wish to introduce to
you your brilliant young fellow
townsman, William j. Bryan,
who will"
Here he stopped, leaned over
and whispered to Bryan in a
stage whisper that none could
fail to hear:
DO you speak or sing?"

NEW YORK, September 5.-From out
of the west comes a report that Joe
Cans has consumption. There is never
any surety that a great athlete is per-
fectly sound in his internal economy.
Jack Dempsey was supposed to have died
Of a broken heart. but consumption had
more to do with handing him a pass

1t may be another of the cunning coon S

Bat beat Cans, and many continue to
hold that the negro is still the master OF
all the lightweights.
With Cans conSumptive and having
been beaten by Bat before. Nelson, would
look a pipe in the coming battle And
the wise ones would get down their
money, Cans himself being one of the
Solomons. Cans has had to resort to
tricks before to pull off the thing that
cases down the coin. He had to pre-
tend to be all in and let Willie Lewis
and Jack Blackburn stand him off for
the purpose of getting on a match with
Nelson And yet in their last fight there
was nothing TO indicate that all was not
strictly on the kvel. Nelson beat him.
and beat him allthe way. If Cars comes
back and wins all traditions of the ring
will have been broken.

A WILDCAT FROM ARIZONA.
Employees of Registry Division, City
Post Office Have Strange Pet.

Washington is richer by one wildcat
than it was Thursday although the cat
may not be SO very wild and the brass
tag attached to it's collar with the in
scription That's What Makes Him
Wild may unjustly raise the presump-
ton that the cat is other than an inof-
fensive kitten.
William NJ. Wagner and William G..
Sherwood. clerks in the registry division
of the city post office, who were trans
ferred to the post office at Tucson, Ariz.,
last May returned to the city last night
bringing with them genuine wildcat of
a tender age and apparently as tame as
the average domestic kitten. 1t is some
what larger than a gOod-siZed house cat
and marked pretty much in the same way.
although its limbs and paws are large
and powerful.
Supt. Granville Hunt said that hereto
fore the office has lavished its feline af-
lection on good. old. faithful ''Muggins,
cat whose position and disposition have
been well established in the Office for a
long time. Tuesday, however the letter
which Mr. Wagner sent in advance of
his coming to tell that he was bringing a
wildcat as playmate for "Muggins was
left on Mr.. Hunts desk When he re-
turned he found ''Muggins" apparently
porting it over. That night Muggins dis
appeared and has not been heard of
since.
The ladies in the division want to keep
the newcomer. whose name is Bob, -
probably suggested by his short tail,
which seems to be in a perpetual culver
of nervous excitement, but Supt. Hunt is
afraid his presence will distract them
from their work, and Bob may have to
go. Much curiosity has been excited as
to what makes a cat so apparently tame
as this a wildcat and the brass
tag with its curious inscription does not
seem to throw much light upon the sub
