The rainy weather has delayed
the harvesting of the rice crop,

result the deliveries Of new-crop
rice have not been as heavy as
might have been expected. Dry,
warm weather IS now needed to
facilitate the curing and threshing
Of the rice and its proper marketing.
A good crop has been grown and all
that is now needed to complete a
successful season is good harvesting

The rains, which have been too

Senator Williams has the repu-

FEvrning Pest. John Sharp VIII
iams Of Mississippi i The eoaink
Democrats leader.
He is described Is the Democs1iic
pilot in the senate. : dangerous
antagonist in debate. ! construc-
tive statesman If abilify and .
thoroughly equipped public officer
Those who know Senator Will
Jams do not have to, be reminded
of these facts. Mississippi i the
birthplace of st .tesmen. Seven
senators now serving in the senate
recognize the state as their mother
state. They are ell cted from
other states: now, but Mississippi
gave them birth. There must be
something in the atmosphere Of
Mississippi. From the early days
of admission to the present time
there have been notable political
figures coming. from the sister
state and there will be others in
the future.
Just now John Sharp WiIIiamsis
attracting more than usual atten-
ton, for the parts is largely
dependent upon him to do the
senate that Champ C arke and
Represent alive Underwood are
doing in the house.
One of the significant features
in all this is the fact that it is the
Southern Democr IS who are do
ing the most conspicuous work
toward Democratic reorganization.
Ollie Jane of Kentucky, John
Sharp Williams of Mississippi,
Champ Clarke of Missouri, Con-
gresham Underwood of Alabama,
are all making distinct names for
Themselves.
John Sharp Williams has been
a member of Congress for many
years, but has been in the senate
a short while. His first service to
his state was in the Fifty-third
congress. In his sixteen years
experience in the house he accom-
p!ished much. In the senate he
will accomplish more. He has
now gained the position of real
leader of the senate, whose titular
head is John Staples Martin of
Virginia. The Post says:
In his sixteen years service in
the house, six years of which time
he was the minority leader, he
was never routed in debate. This
does not mean that in every
debate in which he was engaged
eeasa Waterloo for his ~ntag-
orist. but no member who served
in the house with Mr.. Williams
has preserved as q trophy even q
small piece Of his scalp. In some
encounters he failed to take a
scalp, but in no mix-up did he
ever lose any of his ovid Uranium
covering.
Speaking the other day Of the
sharp tilt in the senate between
MIR. Williams and Mr. Baily,
Representative Mccall Of Mass
achusetts, himself a scholar and
an able speaker, said that John
SHARP Williams was the most
able catch-as-catch-ean debater
the house had had in fifty years,
Elk Senator John C. Sp0oner Of
Wisconsin several years ago
added his testimony to tho ability
of Mr.. Williams in debate by
declaring him to be the greatest
rough-aod-tumbled debater in any
parliamentary body in the world"
This is all very true and Is all
very encouraging for the south, for
Southern statesmen are at last be-
ing recognized. The fact of their
ability was realized LONG
ago, but the Eastern press was
not so frank in its admission as it
is to-day:
A the time draws near for the
Democratic National convention.
Senator Williams will become al
still more conspicuous figure

gun in each hand, green. uncouth
looking country boy held at bay more
than q dozen men in a gambling joint
ON the second floor, rear, Of the Turn
er hotel Saturday night until the POI
lice came upstairs and made the ar
rests
The raid was one OF the most SEN
sational ever made in the city ana
was only accomplished after care
fully laid schem had been carried out
IN every detail
The boy, who had agreed to play
the star role, was fresh from the coun-
try. but with a superb nerve which
made the final consummation of the
plans possible.
An Easy Mark
Sauntering through the hotel lob
by to the rear he passed the lookout
man and going up the steps, he was
admitted without a question and stood
Tor a moment or two until the buzzer
connected with downstairs gave the
signal that officers were on their way
up the stairs 1t was then the real
work was done for as the men made a
break for the door. the boy who at
first sight might have appeared an
easy fish for the gamblers drew from
each pants leg ''forty-hye" threaten
cd to shoot the first to make move.
The next instant the police arrived
and every man in the rooms was plac-
ed under arrest
The place where the gambling was
carried on is a regular Monte Carlo
and consists Of three rooms numbers
23l In which the modern faro bank
was worked, 232 fitted up exclusive
ly fer craps and 'twenty-one Or bust
while 233 was divided into two com
partments, one used as a poker room
and the other for a full fledged bar IN
which liquor of all kinds was kept.
Three big rooms open into one an
other with high archways.
The lookout sits In the hotel lobby
night and day and buzzer is at his
elbow, The wires of the bell run
along the inside hotel walls to the
rooms. The police have made many
attempts to reach the den put nave

Within the past few days big
cleanings' have been reported. One
prominent business man is said TO
have lost $1,000 in one game. An
other dropped $4,000. The piker too,
may play and in some games the
stakes run as low as twenty-five cents.
The police accepted bonds for the
twelve gamblers and took the social
dispenser to the jail and when the
crowd deserted the building they
were about as cheap a looking one as
has been seen in some time. They
are still specializing who the green
un" is and the fellow who presses the
button downstairs doesn't expect to
take any more chances.
The police attempted to suppress
the story, pleading that the motel is
"a pretty respectable place"
