The Dat Crop.

Probably the largest oat crop by tire
fold has been gathered in the county i
the past ten days, Gus Mcleod ha
probably the largest crop, somethirf
over 200 acres, counting what his ter
ants have. John Wooten has $50 acres
Gurler & Minor 1870 acres. The weath
er for saving it has been ideal anC
many threshers are at work threshine
it out. Contrary to the usual custom
good portion of the oat crop has beer
planted on good land and we expect t.
report larger yields per acre than evel
before.
The finest oat crop in this section il
reported from around Dancy, and it i,
said that a Mr., Henders of that plac,
has a 50-acre field that he has brough
up wonderfully by a system of rota
ton. The first year he planted corr
followed by fall oats; second year oat
and mellilotus spring sown; the thir
year mellilotus for honey, hay an
seed.
An acre in mellilotus, says Prof. Hol
kins, of the Illinois Agricultural co
lege is equal to 30 loads of manure. MI
Henders is making a profitable Gro
and enriching his land.

The Weather.

The present record-breaking weather
is an other demonstration of the fact
that there is no telling what the wealth
er, a woman or a jury will do. The
18th of June, 1913, or exactly one year
ago today was the coolest or coolest
June day ever recorded by the weather
bureau in the south. At Mobile, 200
miles south of this point, the thermom.
eter got as low as 40. 1t must have
been at least four degrees lower acre.
The governments thermometer has
been lowering around the 100 mark sew
eral days this week. According to
Weather Clerk Carleton, it reached its
highest on Wednesday, when the Their
mometor blew up after crossing the TO-
mark. On Thursday it reached 80 OF.
There is much comfort in the though,
that while it ia tough on the humans, il
is almost death to the weevils, and thu
cotton itself is not hurting a bit, Tn,
weather bureau at Washington does
not predict any relief for several days
but it is to be hoped that we will n
least get a shower or two, for which
the whole country is suffering.

Preston Chappen'S Luck

With the exception Of Happy Hooli-
igan, Of comic picture fame, there is
no man in the world who has he'd quite
as much bad luck as Preston Chappell-
and with Just as good intentions.
To begin the story, Preston. who IS
one of the finest fellows in the world,
barring none, was one of the first in the
prairie section to buy an anto. Having
unbounded and almost fanatlcal faith
in the name, he ch~ristened the machine
Vardaman, but if there was any kun
ger" to il, it didn't work. After ne
had made two or three trips to towns
it is said that the mothers and house
wives along the road formed a pact
and as soon as Preston started from
home the phones would begin the ring
and all the children and chickens would
be called in a house until he started
back. One trip while he was in Macon
the machine, Vardaman, acted especial
ly bad. 1t leaped a ditch, tore down a
fence and climbed the front steps OF
Mr.. Warren Stewards residence, after
knocking down several young shade
trees.
His latest stunt was Wednesday
night when he brought a number of
young ladies to Macon, and while TAX
ing a run out on the Columbus road
smashed into II tree near the Richmond
place three miles from town. The la
dies were C mpelled to walk back to
Macon. where they procured a machine
from Windham & Oliver, and they got
back home about 2 a. m.
Mrs. Frank Skinner, mother of one
of the young ladies' end hostess to
others in the car, was in town Thursday
and said she exacted a promise from
Preston to run slowly and avoid danger,
but when she heard the honk, honk of
a new machine coming back next norm
ing she knew the usual thing had hap
pened.
But he didn't mean to do it; truly he
didn't.

The Men Who Succeed.

Far, far back in the centuries
a certain Joseph, business mana
ger of Egypt, applied with emil
nent success the wise, economic
policy of preparing in fat years
for the demands Of lem years,
not merely making hay while the
sun shines, but making sufficient
hay TO last through the next
shortage. That policy has been
pursued eyer since by every man
of gumption who also has in
slack times trimmed his eXpendi-
lures, wherever possible, to meet
decrease in his income. Circum-
stances beyond ones control will
sometimes nullify the best in.
tents of such economists, but, as
a general rule, they are the ones
who in fair weather or III fou
have the least anxiety about the
future. Complimentary to the
policy of providing in fullness
against dullness is that of pre-
pairing in slackness for activity

Philadelphia, Miss, June l, 1914.
To the Voters of the Sixth Chancery
Court District:
l most respectfully ask you for your
support and influence in the coming
August primary for the Office of Chan
Gerry Judge. | have practiced my pro-
fession for ten years with reasonable
success. If elected / shall endeavor to
make a fair ard impartial chancellor.
| promise exact, even-handed justice
and speedy trials for all. If necessary,
every hour allowed by law for holding
court will be utilized or the docket
cleaned up. My duty will never be neg
lected. All men in court shall look
alike to me. l will not see nor try to
see anything but the right under law
and the facts. If elected | shall not be
guilty of neglecting my official duty by
adjourning court long before the time is
up for holding court and leaving law
yers and litigants standing around anx
ious to try their cases.
At the expiration of this term Judge
M Cool will have been Chancellor for
twelve years by appointments and will
have drawn a salary aggregating $33.
900. He now says he desires to hole
the office one more term. But be il
mistaken-he means until he dies.
1t is my purpose to make an aggres'
sive campaign between now and the
election. A little later | shall make
some speeches and l invite Judge Nc
Cool to be present every time and de
fend any charge | may make against
him. | shall make more charges dur
ing the campaign. | shall have some
interesting things to say that every
voter should hear. When | am schel
uled to speak, be sure and come if vol
live lear enough the place.
If you believe an old officer and ricl
politician should hold Office without be
ginning of days or ending of time ant
continue to grow richer and richer, VIII,
then | can understand how you cal
vote for Judge McCool.
But on the other hand, if you believ'
that a young man full of vim, aspira
tion and a consuming ambition, VIII
has to some extent equipped himsel
for the office until he at least known
that an enrolled judgment is a lieI
against property not claimed as ex
empt and that he should have a chanc
sometime in life, then | cannot Sc,
how you can fail to make a cross oppo
site my name on election day.
l have never been a candidate befor
and am now thirt J-seven years of age
| am running because | want the office
!, | am running to win and | believe
shall. Please investigate my merit
and help me to win this fight. ANY
thing and everything done for me wi
be highly appreciated and never forgot
, ten.
Yours for a clean, fair and business
, like administration.

IN. After listening 10 Mr., Austin's

lille hopping his brow as he came

Ut for Cool" The fact that the
leather was close to 100 in the shade
I'D nothing to dorwith the remark.
Then Mr.. Harrison told one on Uncle

about the time Uncle Charley went

out a gun. Pretty soon a rabbit got w
from under his feet when Uncle Char

The Crop Prospect.

From all reports the cotton prospects
for this county, barring the weevil, is
the best ever known. The state, con
trary to its usual condition, stands
highest in prospects to all the southern
states. It's per centage is lO8 90; the
next highest is Alabama with lO4 9
Texas is lowest with sc 5. A week or
two more with the present hot, dry
weather it is believed that the weeyiI
will be conquered that IL for those
who have put up a fight. 1t is report
ed that the tenants on Num- & Co.'S
plantations in the past two weeks have
caught TO- 600 weevils. Those on Mr..
G.. S. Fields places last Saturday
brought in Is, 900. These two are men
toned because they are the largest cot
ton planters in the county and their
lands are in the section where the wee.
wills are the most numerous II tire
fight they are putting up wins, it is /
clear demonstration the entire count,
can win out and that the large, AZ wei
as the small planter, can continue t.
raise cotton.
The unusual dry, hot weather for The
past week has been detrimental to til
corn crop, but bottom lands are sti'
holding out, and if there is a rain j.
the next week or ten days, a good con
crop will be assured.
