Lincoln County Crop Conditions.


| BY going down III the Arlington
land Montgomery neighborhoods
Saturday and Sunday ID the
southwestern portion Of Lin
coin county. the editor Of The
Leader had an opportunity Of learn
| ing 4 great deal about crop condi-
tions and damage done by the rain
Estorm Of April 18th and the freeze
of the 24th and 25th. The bulk Of
The early corn and the cotton crop
had been plauted when the heavy
rain storm came. Very little cot
ton was up at that time and the
hard rain 50 packed the ground that
cotton that did come up after the
rain was killed down BY the freeze
of April 25th. Practically all Of
the cotton that was up when the
freeze came, whether planted In
March Or April. was killed BY the
freeze or the stand SO badly injur-
Jed, that most Of the farmers have
replanted their whole crop. In
eases where the cotton was planted
during the interval between the
heavy rain storm and the freeze
and had not come up before the
cold struck it. it has since come
up and is looking well. but a com-
parativeIy small percentage Of the
cotton Of his county was planted
during this interval.
Last week was one Of the busiest
ever experienced BY the farmers Of
Lincoln county and it is to their
praise that they acted so promptly
in trying TO recoup their bad luck
caused BY the rain and cold by
getting to work SO promptly.
Up to this writing. The Leader
regrets to say that the total lack Of
rain since the heavy rain storm Of
April 18th has operated seriously
against the coming up Ut replanted
cott8n and will continue to do so
until the drouth is broken.
Corn that was up and especially
the Oldest corn which had been
worked out, was severely nipped by
the freeze and received q backset.
but very little corn was totally
killed
"A great deal depends on how
long the prevailing dry weather
lasts "A good warm rain followed
by rm sunshiny weather during,
the next few days, would be Of in
estimable value to the crop situa-
tion in this and adjoining counties.

Fifty Years Aeo.

Through the courtesy of the
Lanesboro, MIMI Leader. we are
enabled to publish the following
selt-explanatory excerpt, which we
doubt can be equalled anywhere in
the States:
Through SO years of toiling,
Of struggling and of moiling;
Through good and evil Shedding,
They We reached their golden we'd
ding.
They are old their heads are bend-
ing
They are near their journeys end
ing,
Though soon from life they'll wan
der
To Eden over yonder.
Their friends will not forget them
Nor e'er consent to let them
Pass by year so binding,
Without kind reminaing
OF this their Golden Wedding.

ANOTHER BLAST FROM BILBO.
MaIlhalI County 4 Perez. DuIaney Trick
Denounced.

State Senator Bilbo. who became
conspicuous during the last session
Of the legislature BY his exposure
Of bribery, has become involved in
the WaIthall county fight to the
extent that he has considered it
necessary to make a public state
ment.
It will be remembered that the
Marion county people who went
before the Legislature to oppose the
bill authorizing the creation Of the
new county complained that they
were not given opportunity to pre-
sent their claims, and that Senator
Bilbo railroaded the measure
through the senate.
Since the legislature adjourned,
|it is said the leaders in the fight
against WaIthall county have
framed petitions requesting Senia-
tor Biibo,s resignation. and these
are being circulated throughout
the district.
Thursday. Senator Bilbo issued q
statement as to his attitude on the
new county bills before the last
Legislature. and incidentally ascrib-
ed the petitions being circulated to
the activity Of his political
enemies. His statement is as fol
lows:
My attention has been called to
an effort on the part of some
parties at Columbia, Miss. to as
sist the Percy Dulaney faction BY
starting a petition in conformity
with the one adopted by the.
twenty-five immortal l?) senators,
the pretended excuse for this.
petition being my position on the
WaIthall county proposition, but
to a close observer and BY noting
the phraseology Of same. the
smooth Italian hand of a Percy
.dised' lawyer can be seen, and
further, the motive behind the
whole affair is patent even to
way-faring man, though fool
AS / have already predicted. I
the gang is still at it Dulaney
must be saved from the peniten-
tiary at all hazards.
4 have no apology to make as to
my position on the new county
fights. conserved not only the
interests of my district as whole,
but Of all South Mississippi. The
new county of WalthalI may affect
a few members of the Columbia
Commercial Club and some of the
officers and lawyers Of the county
as to their present pecuniary inter-
est, but it will rebound to their
good in the end. My policy as a
Legislator has always been along
Democratic lines submit every
thing to the people and also the
greatest good to the greatest num-
Der. My contention has been that
South Mississippi should stand
together on the creation Of every
new county where the territory
and conditions would justify. SO as
to increase our representation in
the Legislature and thus give to-
our section the just representation
Of which we have been SO long de-
prived. My record has been abso-
.lutely consistent in all Of these
fights.
The opinion expressed by the
author of the said Percy Dulaney
petition strikes me as a little pre-
mature, since the people of Colum-
bla, nor the State, for that matter,
do not know what the evidence adj
duced before the senate was, as the
reports of same are not correct.
I'll admit the Percy. Dulaney
gang is rather rcsourceful, but
they must back off and come again.
for SO long as ] am right they can;
not bluff me-

nation as to the life of Griffin, which
made him speak in the sermon in a
way to cause the widowed mother and
relatives much pain. The facts as gath

Special to Times Republican.
.Grinnell, March 10.-7A: new wrinkle
in the Iowa athletic situation devel
oped here today in the proposal of the
Grinnell College athletic management
to the city Commercial Club to pull off
an invitation meet at Ward field this
spring which shall take the place Of
the old state meet, held at Des Moines
for the last twenty years. The organi-
cation of seven universities, including
Drake, Iowa and Ames, of the Iowa
institutions, into the Missouri valley
conference three years ago sounded the
death-knell Of the old Iowa Intercol-
legiate Athletic Association, and when
that association went to pieces few
months ago it left a large number Of
IoWa's smaller educational institutions
out in the cold, despite the fact that
they boast a vigorous athletic life.
Among these are such reputable coll
leges as Cornell. Coe, Simpson, Des
Moines College and others, while Grin
nell and Morningside, standing really
midway between the two classes, may
head a new league Of the smaller fry
in the competition Of the conference.
State Meet May 81.
Grinnen proposes to accept the for
mer alternative, and if the business
men cooperate, a field meet will be
held probably May 81, a. week before
the Missouri Valley meet at Des
Moines, to which all the educational
institutions Of the state will be in
vited. Every facility including a one
third mile oval cinder track warranted
in all weathers, new $4,000 grand
stand and a central position is offered
for such meet at Grinnell. The sup
port of the smaller schools is assured
and Drake may be counted on to send
a team. In all probability this move
is the solution Of the problem that has
been uppermost in Iowa athletic camps
for the past year, and such a meet will
mark the beginning Of a new epoch in
state athletics 90

Question at DEBORAH.
DEBORAH, March, 1O.-Some time ago
parties were here from Waverly look
ing over the ground to ascertain wheth-
er the people of DEBORAH would en-
courage the movement for a gas plant
or not. Mr.. ]. j. Donelan, superintend-

Waverly, was here this week and went
before the council, which body will
order a special election in the near
future, when the people will have a
chance to say yes Or mo: as to
whether we are to have a gas plant.
These people, who will come here if
it carries, do not ask a cent Of bonus
and agree to pay all expenses Of an
election, so DEBORAH has nothing to
lose and everything to gain.
They will expend about $4,000 to
establish this plant. which will mean
large amount Of work for the labor
ing class. They think it will take
about eight miles of mains to cover
the city thoroughly. -
