Chances for berry crop are mighty

other products of the berry family
will be scarce articles this summer.
according to a Keokuk man who has
farmed for number of years himself
and has been studying prospects and
conditions in this section for the past
several weeks.
The reason for the skimp In the
berry crop is the drouth through which
vegetation is now passing and it is
possible that there will not be any
black or raspberries at all this year
There was only about one-third of
the normal strawberry crop this seas
on and no chance to make up what
has been lost.
Cherries were unusually large and
good but cannot be classed under the
berry type OF fruit.

There will be about one half a croo

which has been effectual in stunning
the usual growth of alfalfa and grain
is felt worse in the southern part of
Lee County, the northeast part OF
Clark county, Mo-, and the northeast

these sections have had any rains
to speak of and the farmers are in
quandery and naturally blue" over

The most exciting incident that hap
pened this week, during the strenuous
three days of court was the escape
while under arrest of Johnnie Cavett,
one OF the most persistent sellers of
liquor that the officers have ever had to
deal with. Johnnie, has supposedly,
alwas been the agent of some white
man, who, for a share of the profits in
the business used Johnnie as a buffer
between himself and the law. Less
than two months ago Mr.. Ward then
manager of the Hotel Macon paid fines
for Johnnie to the amount of $3.50, and
up to Saturday night Johnnie had never
seen the inside of Jail. That night he
was arrested and placed in Jail by Night
Policeman Maury. Monday morning he
was taken to the court room by Deputy
Sheriff Ace Lever. In a few minutes
after reaching there Judge Carroll
gave Joe Toles $12O for INDUCING in a

across the Holberg field at a 2:lO gain.
His liberty was of short duration.
That night he came through town dis

Maury arrested him at a house in dar-

He had been arrested under a war

If the senator elect believes
that / won my election dishon-
estly, / would not have legisla-
tive inaction balk his desire for
an investigation, and if he will,
by letter, advise me that any one
of these 81 votes cast for me was
improperly influenced in my be-
half, and he desires an ~investiga-
ton by the United States senate
into my election, as he will not
be able here to speak for himself,
/, in his behalf, will introduce a
resolution requesting such inves-
tigation and urge it favorable
consideration.
There is but one suggestion that
| would make to that legislature,
if it sees fit to request my resig
nation, that is, that while actu-
ated by the patriotic purpose of
securing a clean senator for Mis-
sissippi, it make the request for
investigation broad enough to
cover the fitness of the senator
elect, against whom there is now
pending in the chancery court of
Kinds county, in that state, a bill
filed long after the heat of the
campaign had subsidized, in the
name of the state of Mississippi,
by the encouragement of the
state, neither a partisan nor a
supporter Of mine, charging that
the senator-elect. while governor,
embezzled various trust funds
committed to his custody. If
the allegations of the bill are
subtained, that, under the con-
stitution of Mississippi, disquali-
fes the senator-elect from hold
ing any state office, and should
disqualify him from holding a
seat in the senate.
Mr.. President, if it be thought
that the language used by me
has been harsh, | would plead in
justification that the provocation
has been great. This is the
elimination of a campaign of
SANDER and detraction, prose
cuted with unparalleled bit
terness from the moment of my
election in which it has been
sought to scourge me out of
public life, robbed of good name
and stripped of character. If it
be thought that | am unfair in so
referring to one who has no op-
portunity to answer on the floor
of this senate, | would say that
the opportunity will soon be his,
and further, that for eighteen
months l have been ceaselessly
attacked through the columns of
his paper without having an op-
~portunity to reply, and more than
that, for eighteen months, by in
vitation, challenge and taunt, |
have endeavored to have him
meet me before the people of Mis-
sissippi in joint debate, accord
ing to the custom in that state,
aud make his charges to my face,
so that l could answer them, but
he, ignoring invitation, challenge
and taunt. during that time, |
have seen only the back of my
distinguished opponent.

guage in regard to him is severe,
