LOWNDES FARMERS
ARE BUSY WITH CROPS
WatermeIons, CantaIoupeS
and Cotton Haye Been
Planted Early

VALDOSTA, Ca, March 13.-The farm
ers have been busily engaged this week
in planting crops of various kinds, most
ly cotton. The weather has been so
dry however, that many of those who
planted hardly hoped for the seed to
come up. A number of farmers stated
this week that they had planted merely
because the season of the year had ar
rived for it, but they felt almost certain
that they will have to plant again after
rain falls. 1t is not believed that there
will be much increase in the acreage
of cotton through this section, though
more fertilizer will be used.
Watermelons and cantaloupes were also
planted this week and the acreage is
about the same that it was last year
except in some of the new territory
where new railroads have been built
lately. A good many watermelons and
cantaloupes will be planted in this terri
tory, making the total acreage larger
than it was last year.
The outlook is that much more atten-
ton will be paid to corn and other grain
crops than in the past. Thousands of
hogs, and many thousands of chickens
and turkeys will be raised in this coun-
ty this year.

DALTON IS EXCITED
BY V0LLEY OF SHOTS
Expected That Wholesale Ar
rests Will Follow Mysterious
Shooting

DALTON, Ca. March y 1S.-serious
trouble was for a time threatened here
Saturday night when officers arrested
Ben Staten. a young white man, charg-
ed with discharging a pistol at Ben
Miller on Hamilton street. A crowd
had surrounded the officers but they got
their prisoner out and took him to jail.
1t is stated that wholesale arrests
will follow the affair, which is now
shrouded in mystery. Miller was run
ming when four shots were fired at him,
one of the bullets passing through his
coat He doesn't know who fired the
shots; but bystanders pointed out Sta
ten to the officers who were Investigate
ing the trouble. According to g. state
ment made by Miller to Policeman jack
son he ran because he noticed suspicious
actions on the parts OF members OF a
crowd around him when he took some
money out of his pocket.
Staten was taken to Jail but was re-
leased by Sheriff Gilbert on a small
bond. He is alleged to have returned
to the crowd looking for trouble. and
was again locked up by the Officers.

TAFT MAY COMMUTE
SENTENCE Of MORSE
TO FIVE YEAR TERM
Although President Has Not
Opened Pardon Application,
Friends Believe He Will Take
This Action in Case

AUGUSTA. Ga, March 1s.-President
Taft was early on the links of the Coun-
try club today. and played the full 49,
hole course. Secretary Norton also got
out his golf clubs this morning and went
over The course with three friends from
Chicago.
Reports reached Augusta today from
New York that President Taft would
today sign a pardon for Charles w.
Morse, the. convicted banker. serving
term of Is years in the federal prison at
Atlanta. They were entirely erroneous.
The president has not so much as
glanced at the papers in the Morse
case.
These papers are exceptionally volum-
nous and the president makes II prac-
tice to go over every detail of the avail
able evidence In all applications for par
dons or Communication of sentence.
There is little likelihood that any ac-
ton will be taken on either the Morse
or Walsh cases until after Mr. Taft re-
turns TO Washington next week. TIL pa
pers were brought along to be gone over
If the president might feel so disposed.
but there was no specific purpose of
takingA action at this time
The most favorable recommendation
the friends of Morse have expected, ac-
eording to reports they have received
from various sources, is a Communication
of sentence to five years Imprisonment.
Thus commuted the bankers term would
not expire for several years,
It is not known as yet whether the
president viii attempt to dispose of the
Morse and Walsh pardon cases. He
brought the voluminous papers In both
NTH i'm hut hac
either set. Mr.. Taft is very thorough
In dealing with all pardon matters and
has made 1t a rule to read and digest
all of THE evidence in each case pre-
sented to him. He devotes as much
time to the cases as would Judge on
the bench. and does not rely entirely
upon the recommendations of the de
partment of justice or the attorney gem
eraI.
MARTIN w. LITTLEToN IN AU-
GUSTA.
It is coincidence in connecuca with
the case of Charles W. Morse that the
convicted bankers attorney, Martin w.
Littleton, of New York is enjoying a
two weeks vacation here prior to go
ing to Washington, where he will as
sumo his new duties as a representa-
tive in congress from the Oyster Bay
district
Two reports regarding the Morse case
were current hsre-last night, Opa was
to the effect that the pardon division OF
the department OF justice had recon-
mended that Morse's sentence of Is years
be reduced to five years and that Attor-
ney General Wickersham had overruled
this Recommendation with an adverse
report on the application.
The second report was Just the re-
verse OF this. 1t being stated that the
pardon division had made an adverse
report and the attorney general had
recommended Communication to five years
President Taft said he had not read any
part of the papers. What recommenda-
tions have been made in the case of
John r. Walsh could not be learned
