SOME TIME-WAs BORN MARCH
80, 184s.

Rome, July 1s.-Don Carlos of Bourbon,
the pretender to the Spanish throne, died
at Varies in Lombardy, today. He had
been Ill for long time, and the latest re-
ports indicated that he was suffering
from apoplexy with accompanying paral-

legitimate king of Spain by the title OF
Charles VII, was born at Laybach, Aus
tria, March 30. 1S4S.
His father, Don Juan, was the brother
of Don Carlos, Charles vi, known as the
Count de Montemolin, in support OF
whose claims the Carlist risings of 1s4S

CROP CONDITIONS.
Corn Is Not So Promising in Calhoun
County.

Admission, July 1S.-(Special. )-Farmers In
the city and local men who have agri-
cultural interests say that the corn crop
for this year will be the shortest that
Calhoun county has known for years.
There was a slight increase in the acreage
at the beginning of the season, but I'M
favorable weather conditions have cut
this down and stunted the crop that was
standing, weeds having run rampant dur
ing the continuous rains.
The showers within the past few days
have had a beneficial effect upon the
cotton crop. it is said, and prospects In
that line are looking brighter. There was
fair weather during large part of the
past two weeks and the farmers took ad-
vantage Of this condition to weed out the
crop, which is now said to be more
healthy.
