in my profession"

pie crop of the country was 69,O70,O0O

generally because of pests. Orchards

A Pearl Randeau.

Seed pearls are ranked among the
beautiful adornments of the winter
couture. They are incrusted in lines
or huge flowerlike forms on a band
of tulle or gauze, and the whole is a
lovely ornament for the swfrling lines
of hair.
The bandeau passes quite around
the head low on the forehead, and is
fastened under large pearl cabochon
at the right side, where, by the way,
the important motif must appear this
season.

the H.use Saturday following its passage
by the Senate Friday. 1t will now go
to the governor for his signature. The

In the courts.
1t Is not proposed to attempt to prevent
negroes voting at congressional or presi'
dental elections, the restriction applying
only to state and municipal balloting,
The original draft OF the plan WAS
amended BY the insertion of a clause by
which negroes owning property assessed
at $500 may vote provided they we're
possessed of property thus valued two
years in advance Of their registration. 1t
is proposed to repeal the present gis-

negroes and to abolish spring elections

elections until the state election in the
November following. Registration3being
refused, the negro will not be able to
vote on the measures when they come
before the electors in November, 1911,
