 There have been rumors of this kind afoat for some time past. and no definite announcement was made until recently. It is said, however, that MT Good1ett has finally determined to en- ter the field.
 Another new entry, announced today is John Eden, former street tax col lector of the city, who said Saturday morning that he would not only be in the running, but confidently expected to be the winner. MT. Eden reached a conclusion Friday to enter the field.
 But as these new candidates shy their castors into the political arena F. M House, one of the first to an- nounce for the place, steps down and out, according to the statement of his friends.
 But still there is no scarcity of sher- if timber in Calhoun county, for be- sides Messrs. Goodlett and Eden, mem tioned above, there remain in the race the following: w. D. Newman, J. D.

 Wet Weather Hurts Farmers.
 The wet weather of this week has put the farmers badly behind with their work All of the cotton has not been planted and many of the farmers will be compelled to plant over on ac- count of a bad stand. During the pret- ty weather the farmers would plant cotton and then a big packing rain would fall and a bad stand would be the result.
 - In talking to several farmers from different parts of the county they say that the grass Is looking fine in the cotton fields and that the wet wealth CT is keeping them from killing it with harrows and cultivators.
 Corn planting has been delayed to such an extent that very little has been planted in the bottom lands. Upland corn Is looking fine and is needing to be worked out. The oat crop Is look ing and growing fine as the rain just suits the oat crop, but a little later too much rain would do them much dam age
