Wheat ThreShinu

DICKSON-Wheat threshing Is in full
force in Dickson county, and the crop
which was the best in years both in
quality and quantity. is almost totally
ruined by the excessive weather. 1t will
be difficult so the farmers say. to Sc
cure a sufficiency OF sound grain for the
wet crop. 1t seems cruel when one medi-
tates the narrow escapes this crop made
through the past severe winter and
stormy spring, and after all met destruc-
ton in midsummer. The hay and oat
crops are no less damaged, and the farm
ers are now depending upon late crop
of stock peas, millet, etc. If, however,
the weather should turn out dry, both
these and the corn crop will likely prove
failures.

MANY Cotton Cars

HOUSTON.-Of the % 700 or more cars
owned by state lines handling cotton
through Houston there probably is 45
per cent Of them within the state, while
the deficiency is made up by the pres
ence of foreign cars either in use or idle.
The Trinity and BRACES Valley, with
about 1000 cars, has about 90 per cent
in the state. The Sunset-Central lines,
with 1900 cars, have a large percentage
of their cars available. while on the lines
are a like number OF foreign cars. The
International and Great Northern oper-
ates about 5000 and the 'Gulf, Colorado
and Santa Fe $500. The Missouri, Kansas
and Texas has thousands OF it's own cars
at it's disposal. while at all times a large
number of foreign cars are on it's tracks
or in the wards.
By the time cotton begins to move to
Galveston every line will have it's yards
teeming with cars ready to be rushed to
any critical point at any moment. AS
conditions for handling are different than
several years ago and the railroad men
are all on the lookout for trouble as 1t
occurred three years ago. 1t is profile

is BEER SP|R|TUOUS?
ASKS M00REHEAD, MINI.
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, July BIS beer spir-
ituous liquor? Upon the determination OF
that question will depend whether or not
the beverage can be introduced into
Moorhead, Mimi, which is situated on
ceded Indian lands and Is said to be the
shipping point of brewers for their trade
in North Dakota, a dry state.
The Minnesota State Brewers associa-
ton has telegraphed a protest 70 the
bureau OF Indian affairs against its recent
action in extending prohibition to Moor
head insofar as the order applies to the
importation of beer. The brewers claimed
that beer is not a spirituous liquor and
consequently does not come within the
prohibition contained in the treaties I'M
der which the lands were ceded.
Supervisor Holcombe, of the Indian bu-
reau, has informed the complainants that
he cannot suspend the instructions as
they desired and that they will have until
September 18th to remove such beer as
then may be in Moorhead. IT now de-
wolves upon the brewers to convince the
Indian bureau that beer is not a spiritu-
Gus liquor.
A few days ago the bureau of Indian
affairs promulgated instructions to its
field agents considerably extending the
prohibition territory adjacent to the
White Earth and Leech Lake reserva-
tions in Minnesota, in accordance with
treaty regulations and for the protection
of the Indians from intoxication.

LEXINGTON-The announcement from
Columbia to the effect that. the Dreher
Shoals, lying on Saluda river, about six
miles from Lexington, have been sold to
syndicate, headed by James U. Jack
son, of Augusta, has attracted a great
deal Of interest here. This is consider
ed one Of the most importanS deals ever
consummated here from several points
Of view, so far as beneficial rsu1ts to
Lexington are concerned.
The several enterprises here would
DOUBTLESS use electricity from this source
as soon as 1t is developed. Aside from
this, the greatest interest centers in the
strong probability, Of the electric car
line, the former survey Of which passes
tn rough the borders OF the town, being
ultimately built. The line would tap one
of the richest farming sections of the
county and develop new enterprises all
along the line, it is SAID.
From information gathered, 1t Is as
sured that the promoters would expert
ence no difficulty in the way Of securing
the rights Of way, as the people living
along the line are anxious to cooperate
in every way possible to secure the road.
