 of making an official canvass of the

 sheriff by only 31 votes.
 Seldom, If ever, within the history of Calhoun county has shrievalty race evoked such interest as is being man. lifested now in the run-on between MT. Goodlett and c. T. Brooks, who led the
 ticket last Monday for the democratic nomination at the second primary,
 which will be held on May ?. Anniston is the chief battleground3 as 1t Is pe- lieved that if Goodlett can materially tear down the Brooks stronghold in this city he will capture the nomina- ton, as he feels confident of secur- | ing the big end of the vote in the northern part of the county.

MORE GRAIN
Than EXPECTED

Devils Lake, N. D., Aug. 16.-Col.
Jos. M. Kelly returned from a trip
up the Farmers line yesterday. The
colonel has spent much of the time
during the past week in driving
through the country, and he is much
pleased with conditions as he finds
them.
There is going to be more grain
in the country than was estimated
earlier in the season." said Colonel
Kelly. "Co1ditions were discounted
six weeks ago, and business has been
adjusting itself to conditions which
would have to be met. The worst is
over, and from now on there will be
an improvement. The yield is going
to be larger than was anticipated, and
that is going to help a great deal.
Another thing which is going to have
an important bearing is the fact that
nearly all the farmers are doing their
own Work-they are not paying out
large sums for expensive harvest help.
l have heard some talk about there
being a scarcity of help, and there
may be in some places, but notice

work. Wherever I have been the far
mers, with very few exceptions, are
doing their own work and in SO doing
they will save a lot of money and
lot of money will be kept in the state
which otherwise would be taken away
by transients down east or sent to
Europe, where we would never see it
again. All the farmers make this
year will be their own. Besides hav-
ing more of a crop than was anticipat-
ed six weeks ago, there is more old
grain sticking around in grain bins
and elevators than one would mag
inc. Taking everything into consid.
Grafton, there is no real reason why
times should be very much different
this fall than in other years. Prices
will be good, and those who have grain
to sell will receive as much for one
bushel of grain as they would for q
bushel and a half in ordinary years,
and perhaps more"

of course, for time remain a matter

Senator w. Murray Crane of Massa-

Crane submitted complete verbal re.

WHEAT FIELDS
OF 100 ACRES

Washington, Aug. 16.-Although the
wheat fields of the far west are gen.
orally supposed to be of extended
acreage, the bureau of statistics has
issued estimates showing that in the
states where these fields are largest
their size averages a little more than
100 acrs.
California alone is an exception to
this rule, as in that state the average
acreage reaches 1863 acres. In North
Dakota the average is lis acres, in
Washington 10 acres, and Oregon
los acres.
New England has the smallest
wheat field, the average acreage of
such fields in Vermont being only
three acres.
