Mississippi Farmers Are Trying To Down The Grass--Working in Fields With Rain Beating on
 Hacks

Columbus, Miss. June 22-(Special) After a week of sunshine, indictment weather has returned, and rain has fallen thirty-six hours without cessa- tion. The farmers took advantage of the sunshine last week, and got in some work in the fields. many of them having practically freed their crops from grass. They realize the fact that the time has come when the crops must be either cultivated or abandoned, and during the past few days have been working regardless of the weather, 1t being no uncommon sight to see men chopping cotton and hoeing corn with the rain pouring down upon their heads,
 The indictment weather has not only retarded the cultivation of crops. but has practically prohibited all work on public roads. Two years ago the people of Lowndes County voted a special tax for the purpose of keeping up their public thoroughfares,f and competent men are employed to look after the work. Last year the roads throughout the county were kept in good shape. but there has been little opportunity for work this spring on &C., count of the incessant rains, and in many places the roads are in a worse condition than usually prevails during the fall and winter months.

Six month ago, the wholesale fish dealers had a round with the Southern Express Company. over the latter reducing charges on ship ments of fish to Alabama points, and this case is now pending before the In- terstate Commerce Commission. as 1t is not expected that the Louisville and Nashville will lower it's rates in order to meet those. ordered by the Alabama Commission, especially as it Is consid- cred here that such are very unreas- enable.

 At a recent session of the Legislature A special road law was passed for Ma renKo County. which provided that all male residents of the county from IS to 60 years of age, were liable to ten days road duty or pay the sum of $7.5o. At the time the law went into effect. it was plain that those residing in the corporate limits of city must pay the road tax and also the street taxes of the city. After the adoption of the new municipal code. 1t was plainly seen that the county authorities were un- able to collect road funds from those residing in a municipality. Therefore. quite a large number of negroes have also been arrested and arraisned be- fore Mayor Winn for having failed to pay their street taxes.

PRINCESS IS BORN
QUEEN VICTORIA OF SPAIN GIVES
 BIRTH TO DAUGHTER.
Great Rejoicing Among King AIfonso's Subjects As Daughter Had Been Particularly
 Desired.


 La Granja, Spain, June 22-Queen Victoria gave birth to a daughter at s:25 a. m. today.
 ~ When 1t was seen last night that the accouchment was imminent, the members of the royal family, the premier and a number of high court personages were hastily summoned to the palace.
 The birth of princess is particular ly pleasing to both the king and queen, as they had hoped that this child. the third, would be girl. The first two children are boys, Prince Alfonso. born May 10. 1907 and Prince Jaime, born June 23, 1908. The eldest. the heir to the throne. is fair like his mother. but he has the protruding lip of his father. a pronounced characteris- tic of the Spanish Hapsburgs. The second son, on the other hand. has dark complexion and looks the real Spaniard. He was named after Jaime, the conqueror; King of Aragon, as a compliment to the province of Catalonia, which formed a part of the ancient kingdom.
 The accouchment was in every re- spect successful. The dowager Queen Christina. the mother of King Alfonso. and Princess Beatrice, mother of Queen Victoria. were at the bedside of her majesty.
 The booming of fifteen. guns an- nounced the birth of girl and the re- 5oicing thereafter was general Half an hour later the king, accompanied by the mistress of the robes, his face beaning with joy at the happy deliver ance of the queen and the fuIfillment of their wish for a daughter. proudly presented the infant to the iignitaries assembled in the ante chamber.
 The king has been showered with congratulations and in commemoration of the event. he signed the pardon of several prisoners and reduced the pun ishments for a number of others.
