LEE COUNTY RECEIVES
VERY GENERAL RAINS
PrOtFaCtGd Rainy Spell Now
Being Feared

Leesburg, Ca, June 9.-Very general
rains have fallen here recently and
are still falling. These rains have
reached practically every part of the
county and have meant dollars to the
farmers of Lee.
Farmers here yesterday who are n
touch with the agricultural interests
of the county, say that the rains are
not more than are needed yet, though
the deficit in rainfall has nearly been
made up here and throughout this
county.
Some farmers now fear a protracted
rainy spell to follow the unusual
drouth that prevailed here throughout
April and a part of May. Though the
rains have not yet done any damage,
it is feared that they will do damage

The Meeting
OF RAILROAD COMMISSION
In Atlanta Tomorrow Morning
For Extra Train

Americus will be represented tomoc-
row when the state railroad commits
sion meets in Atlanta to take up the
matter of giving an extra train on the
Smithville. This meeting has been an
ticipated for some time by the cities
and towns along the route where the
new train is asked, and it is expected
that a rather large delegation will go
to Atlanta from these various places.
From Americus will go Messrs. ]. E.
Mathis and Fred B. Arthur. These
gentlemen will represent the local
Board of Trade as special commit
tee, and they will hear the presenta-
ton of the plea of the towns to the
members of the railroad commission
through the special attorney retained
Joe Hill Hall, of Macon. 1t is expect
ed that specially effective presenta-
ton of the matter will be made.
For some time the matter has been
discussed by the various towns along
the route which will be served by the
extra train, in case it is granted. The
fact that the train will have whole
some effect in increasing the out-of-
town trade of Americus from th'
places along that branch of the Cen.
trail enlisted the support of people
here.

Scratch Upon Limb Results
Seriously

The friends of Mr.. Thomas J. Wade,
one of Sumter's substantial and
prominent citizens, will regret to learn
that he is still confined to his home at
Leslie by serious illness resulting from
a scratch upon his right limb, inflicted
two weeks ago while alighting from
his buggy. The scratch considered
trivial at the time, became infected
and now the limb from ankle to knee
is involved, and possible blood poison
ing is feared, it was said yesterday.
Mr.. Wade is receiving the best medi-

Since the biological bureau of the de-
partment of agriculture has consented
to raise a crowless chicken requests
have poured in for experiments on
everything from mewless cat to =.
bayless dog. The bureau has not con-
sented to try every freak suggested,
but has promised to try to cross the
chicken with other fowls and dye his
feathers by way of his stomach. Feed
ing the dye was suggested by the fact
that madder and red pepper fed to ca
naries have an effect on their plumage.
In Japan it is said that they raise
roosters with tails twenty feet long
Thus infinite combinations are suggest
ed in the experiment.
Proof that the department of agri-
culture knows more about birds than
it does about women, however, lies in
the fact that the beautiful plumage of
the peacock, which is quite inexpensive
is more often used in feather dusters
than on women's hats.

SHIP AFIRE OFF

OIinda Believed to Be in

New York, June 9.-No further ad-

afire at sea, presumably somewhere

thought here that she was heading

Officers of the line received two

Marine Company, of Havana, by
which she is chartered to the Mum
son line. She is 309 feet long and is of

Olinda might head for Charleston, S.

Wilson's Suspicious Well Founded.

Washington, D. c., June 9.-When

capitol that the report would sub
stantially uphold President Wilson'S }
declaration that powerful influences
have been at work in Washington at
tempting to affect congress on the
tariff bill.
Whether it will be shown that Gins
sidious" methods have been used will
depend upon the evidence of the next
few days, when the committee will
examine score or more of men who
have called on senator's or directed
publicity campaigns.
The committee undoubtedly win

draw clear distinction, however, be-
tween an organized campaign to
change public opinion or influence
senators against their Judgment and

ments and facts by those affected by

twenty-seven votes. One man is mis-
taken. Anderson and Allen are both
anti-prohibitionists. Anderson is not
favorable to the open saloon, where
liquor can be sold, but favors the
sale of beer in the state. Allen is in
favor of local option, and supported
Judge R. B. Russell in the recent
contest for governor on that platform.
Neither one is a state prohibitionist'
both are opposed to the same.
Speaker of the House.
Of the candidates for speaker,
Fullbright and Sheppard are both
full fledged state prohibitionists, ana
both supported the Tippins bill. Bob
Hardeman was against it, and Bur-
well voted for the Tippins bill, but
voted to sustain the governors veto
So he voted both for it and against
it. Burwell, Sheppard and Hardeman
have been consistent and ardent sup
porters of Hon. Hoke Smith, while
Fullbright has been a warm support
er of Governor Brown.
While Hardeman opposed the Tin,
pins bill, the opponents of that
measure are lined up for Burwell, and
while Fullbright has been the never
failing friend of the present and the
next administration, what may be
considered the administration forces
are lined up for Burwell.
Prohibition This Year.
1t is not known whether a fight
| will come on prohibition or not, but
the anti-prohibitionists may organ
ize both branches of the general as
sembly. If, however, a prohibition
fight is made, there will be two pow
erful men for dry state in the
house - Sheppard and Fullbright.
There are no two men in the house
more able, more fearless and more
consistent than these two. Both are
not only great debaters, but skilled
parliamentarians. Against prohibit
ton will be Bob Blackburn, Ed Wahl-
wender and Sam Garliangton, three
able men and splendid debaters.
If the prohibition question is CON
sidered in the next legislature, there
will be no dull times in the capital
