Heat showers" have been some.
what general over q good portion Of
the state during the past few days.
The rainfall has been very scattered,
however, and in no instance has ex.
ceeded three-Quarters Of an inch dur
ing 24-hour period.
Many communities are still com.
planning of drouth conditions. having
been without rainfall for several
weeks. In the delta communities.
where there has been no rain, both
cotton and corn are holding up fairly
well, but in the hill counties both Of
those crops are beginning to show the
serious effects Of the drouth.
Cotton blooms have been reported
from several sections during the past
week. The cotton crop, as a. rule, is
clean and well worked. and the picking
of weevils from the young plant is
quite general. There is much diversity
of opinion as to the effect the heat
wave is having on this insect pest.
Some claim that many thousands of
weevils are being killed each day by
the high temperature, while others are
of the opinion that the weevils are
standing the heat much better than
human beings, and have not been ef-
flicted with a heavy mortality by the
bubbling mercury.
The cotton crop is undoubtedly
standing the hot weather much better
than the corn crop. A series of heavy
showers would be of vast benefit to
the later staple, and add many thou
sands of bushels to the yield in each
community. The corn stands are now
at critical period of their growth
where plenty of moisture is needed
for filling out the ears.
Farmers are making the picking of
weevils by negro tenants compulsory,
and frequent reports are received of
negroes being ordered to move out
who have failed or refused to pick the
wesvils from their cotton.

1t is said that while Judge Henry's

to carry him through the court term
with an ordinarily light docket with

he is not able, in the opinion of ply

the work will be unusually strenuous

Has No Opponent.

Judge w. H. Potter of Jackson en-
joys the distinction of being the only
aspirant in Mississippi's judicial cam
paign who has no opponent.
This is singular, in view of the fact
that the three counties composing the
Seventh district contain more lawyers
than any other district in the state,
and the judgeship of this district is
regarded as the most important in the
commonwealth, because of the many
notable cases that are tried here each
year.
However, Judge Potter isn't banker
ing for opposition. He would just as
soon make the race unpaved, and
wants it distinctly understood that he
is not urging anybody to run against
him, even though, with all proper mod
estly, he is confident of ability to win
against any old field of entries. But
it's too hot to engage in real scrap,
even when a judgeship is involved, so
it will be quite satisfactory if mem
bers of the bar will keep hands off,
and allow Judge Potter to take the
plum without any sort of scramble.
