AND FOUND COW
Sheriff in Doing His Duty Recovered
Cos Which He Lost Early Last
Winter
(From Thursdays Daily

A negro who lives about five miles
below Sdon reported at the Sherilf's
office yesterday afternoon that Judge
Banks, a Greenwood negro, and a pill
lar Of the church has stolen his hog
and brought it to Greenwood. The
country negro had followed his town
brother and located the place where
he left the hog as well as where he
lived, Together with Sheriff Carrot
and Deputy Crippen the negro set out
to show them where his property was
to be found
Passing Banks house they asked for
him and found that he had just left.
Suspicioning that he had gone to
move the hog they FASTENED to the
place where it had been left, about
half mile further, and found that
Banks had preceded them and had
gone with the animal on his shoulder.
While looking around the place for
a clue as to which way Banks went
Sheriff Garrett found a fine fat COW
staked out in an open lot which he
had lost from his place in the city
last November. Questioning the negro
who lived there the Sheriff learned
that the crow "came dere" early last
December He gave the negro five
dollars and sent the COW home.
After a chase which lead through a
swamp and to the scene Of the slaugh-
ter Of the hog and back to town Banks
was captured aud is now in jail. 1t
lis fortunate for Mr.. CARROT that the
negro who lost the hog reported the
theft to him for it lead to his recovery
Of fine COW.

st. Louis, Aug. 2-While July is the
dull season of the year, the manu-
factprers, jobbers and retailers genel-
ally report that business has held up
remarkably we'll The outlook is re-
ported to be entirely favorable and
there is marked feeling of conf
dence.
The steel industry in this district
is working to full capacity, with the
question of delivery rather than price
the main consideration.
The shoe manufacturers, jobbers of
dry goods, hardware and groceries ali

kept pace with sales and credit ilsses
are reported to be considerably small

Stocks in the hands of retailers are
. still reported to be higher than nor.
NAL, but seasonable weather during
the last thirty days has stimulated re-
, tai distribution.
The crop situation in this district
seems very materially improved dur
ing the last thirty days, due to more
favorable climatic conditions. The i'm
provement is perhaps more noticeable
in the northern half of the district
than in the southern half.
The wheat crop has been harvest
ed in all but the northerly section Of
the district and thrashing is under
way in many sections. Reports from
both private and government sources
indicate that material progress mas
been made in the last thirty days and
that the 1917 harvest in three great
wheat producing states Of the district,
Indiana, Illinois and Missouri, while
below the five-year average, will be
considerably above the final estimate
for 1916 and larger than was expected
a month ago. The quality of the berry
is uniformly reported to be excellent
The cotton crop has also made good
progress, particularly in Arkansas
Tennessee and Southeast Missouri. A
good rain about the middle of June
supplied the much needed moisture in
the central portion of the district and
the cotton crop is reported as showing
marked Improvement since that date
Under this influence the plant shows
good growth and is fruiting rapidly
In Mississippi, and in few counties
in Arkansas, the condition is not quite
as favorable, as many complaints Of
boil weevil damage are received from
these sections. The development Of
the crop as whole may be considered
satisfactory, although it is still ter
days or two weeks late.

part, within this district, as eompar-
ed to 1916, and the forecast from the
July lst condition is in excess of both
the 1916 yield and the fiye.year aver
age. The crop is doing well and is in
the tasseling stage as far north as
the Missouri River, while overflow
lands, which were planted. are report
ed to be in good shape. If given suifi-
cient rainfall in the next thirty days,
bumper crop would seem to be as
sured.
Reports on the oats crop are equally
favorable. The harvest is completed
in the southern and central portions
of the district and is reported to be
excellent as regards both quantity and
quality. Reports from private sour
ces are supported by government es-
Inmates and indicate a yield above the
five-year average and the 1916 har-
vest.
Reports from the tobacco producing
sections in Kentucky Indicate ar in

Pastures and truck gardens gener-
ally were benefited by the rain a

Apples, watermelons and other
fruits are reported to be in good con-
dition. The supply Of fruits and fresh
vegetables is ample and has, no doubt,
contributed to the decrease in the in
dex figures of the cost of living, which
has been noted from week to week for
the past month The peach crop,is re-
ported to be shorter than the other
fruits,
There is heavy potato movement
and all indications point to an excep-

Improvement is shown in the car

from eastern points.
Postal receipts for June show little
change as compared to June, 1915.
Building permits, on the other hand,

NN1SobNANoSe 1SobT
Mexico City, August 7--Rafael
Nieto, sub-secretary of finance, re-
Gently issued long statement ex-
planning at length the process. by
which the present advalorem duties
on petroleum and it's derivatives were
arrived at. Mr.. Nieto declares that
the duties are neither burdensome nor
confscatory and that the impression
which apparently obtains among many
in the United States that the the du-
ties render expectation of oil from the
Mexican fields to the United States
practically impossible, is incorrect.
Mr. Nieto points out that in many
cases newspapers in the United States
printed statements to the effect that
the tax on crude oil Of certain prage
was more than eleven pesos ton,
whereas the figures mentioned was
the average price ton in New York
on which the tax for that period was
based, the tax being but ten per cent.
of the price.
As proof that the new taxes are not
prohibitive the statements asserts that
in the months of March and April this
year 816,745 tons of crude oil and ALL
17S tons of fuel oil were exported from
Mexican fields.

New methods Of curing hay fever,

ant subjects for discussion and DEM

II do not believe this is the time

this fight. She has not yet realized it,
The mirute she comes to her senses
| am in favor of negotiating peace
with her and in a general way along
the lires of your memorial with two
exceptions. If you mean by no forcl-
BILE annexation Of territory that the
country Of Schleswig- -Holstein should
not be restored to Denmark; that Al
SAGE and Lorraine should not be re-
stored to France; that the people Of
! Bosnia should not be permitted to
align themselves with the Servians--
people who are co-racial, colingual
co related with them--that oppressed
! Poland should not be taken from Prus-

gallant people Of Bohemia should be
| left to the tender mercies Of the
Hapsburgs and that Turkey should
J still be left in possession Of her terri
tory in Europe and Of the Christian
J Armenians, to oppress and slaughter
and rape them, then ! emphatically
do not agree to your first application,
"Concerning the second proposition,
| Il YOU mean by no punitive indemni-
ties that Germany shall escape scot
free without paying one dollar for the
barbarous and ruthless destruction OF
property and life Of civilians in Belgi-
una neutral country who had com
mitted not even an alleged provoca-
ton. but was simply walked over and
destroyed-then ! do not agree with
YOU about the second proposition.
II would advise, therefore, that you
have your petition presented through
somebody who is in sympathy with
your views, want to fight this fight
to a fnish--to a finish which shall Sc
cure for democracy a place on the
globe, and when we make peace with
Germany, | want the treaty to be
signed by those representing the Ger
man democracy and not member Of

fore cannot be trusted, a house which
has made pride Of breaking its pub,
