THAT 1919 HARVEST.

The wheat harvest has been
practically completed and the
harvesting of oats, rye and barley
is well under way. Early reports
on threshing are showing wheat
yields considerably below the
federal and state estimates made
at the beginning Of the harvest.
Rust and blight, with excessive
heat causing a too quick ripening,
are said to be responsible in many
sections for reduced yields, In
parts of the Missouri valley states
considerable trouble was caused
by falling wheat, but in all but a
few cases the wheat was harvest
ed without any great loss from
this cause.
While no new estimates have
been made public upon which to
base new calculations as to the
extent of the 1919 wheat yield,
the reports which have come i'll
from any sections would indi-
cate that the high estimates OF
June which placed the probable
yield of the district at 100000,
600 to 3S2,000,000 bushels, will
not be realized. However, it is
safe to reserve a definite conclu-
sion as to the yield Of 1919 wheat
until more of the wheat has been
threshed and results are definite
ly known.
The condition of oats at the be-
ginning of the harvest was gem
orally excellent, with indications
pointing to a greatly increased
yield over last year record. The
July weather is regarded as very
favorable to the maturing of the
grain. Rye and barley are also
i'll good condition for the harvest.
The new wheat is now flowing
into the market channels with re-
ceipts at terminal points mount
ing daily. On account of the gov
ernment's guarantee, together
with a transportation shortage, il
is believed there will be more
even distribution Of the 1915
crop and less probability of a
grain blockade, as with fixed
minimum price assured many
growers will be disposed to hold
their wheat in the hope OF getting
a good premium.
Milling operations were con
Quoted at about % per cent of
capacity in the first half of this
month, as compared with about
40 per cent of capacity in same
period last year. Millers are buy
ing rather freely Of red wheat
which is practically on the gov
ernment minimum basis. The red
wheat thus faE is of fair to good
quality and the flour is fine.

Several years ago, after their
daughter, Mrs. T. @. Maxwell, had
been left a widow, Mr.. and Mrs. T.

to reside in Brookhaven and made
their home with Mrs. Maxwell.
Mr.. McInnis was a genial gentle
man of the old school. He was a
member Of the Sylvester Gwin Camp,
Confederate Veterans, and was an
elder Of the Presbyterian Church.
One of his sons is a minister of that
denomination. He died Friday night

his lifelong friend and spiritual
guide, DR.. c. w. Grafton, Of Union

Shortly after rumor reached
Brookhaven last Friday, of the pro-
bable death in the tropical storm the
previous Sunday at Corpus Christi, of
Mrs. Nola White, her eldest daugh-
ter, Mrs. Stockton, the latter's hus-
band and their two children, the re-
port was confirmed by Mr.. L. B.
White, nephew of the bereaved
husband and father.
Mr.. L. B. White had come in from
Nola and informed The Leader that
the first message from his stricken
uncle was written Tuesday last at
500 p. m. At that time he was
searching for the missing members Of
his sfamily-the I'VE of them later
found buried with numbers of the
unidentified slain after two days Of
agonizing suspense that eliminated
in the fearful reality of violent
death to all. Mr.. White used every
means available to find his dead and
to identify them and with the sue
cess sought.
Mr.. White with three young sons,
aged about 10, IL and II years, was
out on his ranch at the time of the
death-dealing blow. His other mar
ried daughter, Mrs. Prentiss Ivy, for
merly Ruth White, was also with
him and they all escaped with their
lives being away from the point of
contact that brought death to other
loved ones.
When he went over to the Stock
ton ranch, after the storm, he found
everything swept away and the

Stockton car 300 feet away from the
dwelling.
After identifying his dead Mr..
White had the bodies prepared for
burial and interment was made north
of Corpus Christi Bay where they
now sleep in eternal peace and quiet
ude after the rude and violent death
that came so suddenly and awfully
'in the midst of life."
Mrs. Arthur White, of jackson, in
formed Mr.. L. B. White late Satur-
day that the report of the deaths had
been amply confirmed in letter she
had received. Mr.. L. BIS. brother,
A. H. who is also at Corpus Christi,
was uninjured.
Mrs. Nola White was about 81
years Of age and was the mother Of
thirteen children family circle
unbroken until the death message
came at Corpus Christi. She was
an admirable woman from every
standpoint as wife, mother, friend
and neighbor and was greatly be-
loved. The daughter, having gone
with her parents to Texas, several
years ago, was wooed and won by the
wealthy ranchman, Mr.. Stockton, and
to them had come two little ones,
the whole family perishing in the
storm as stated, Sept. 13.
To the stricken husband and faith
er, Mr.. Nola White, and all those
who mourn the awful visitation Of
sorrow and loss, abundant sympathy
goes out from very numerous friends
in Brookhaven and vicinity.

CLYDE THAMES AC-
QUILTED BY JURY
End of One of Most Sensational
Trials Ever Held in Lin
coin County.

The jury in the case Of State VS..
Clyde Thames, charged with the
murder of his wife, Mrs. Ida Herring
Thames, returned a verdict about
400 o'clock Saturday afternoon of
mot guilty and the defendant was
Immediately discharged from custo-
dy.
This ends one of the most sensa-
tional murder trials ever held in
Lincoln County that has held the
attention of the people Of the county
for three days. The prominence of
the parties and the extraordinary ma
ture and character of the evidence
was sufficient to create widespread
interest in the hearing of the case
and many ladies were present during
the long, hot, trying two days con-
sumed in the trial of the cause.
The interest among the relatives
and friends of the parties was in
tense. Judge Miller stated that in
all of his experience he had never
known case in which so much inter-
est was manifested; that he realized
this and for this reason did not at
tempt to require the spectators to
keep their seats in the courtroom ALI
that he requested of them was that
they keep as quiet as possible so that
they would not disturb the attorneys
conducting the trial. The state made
out good case Of purely circumstan-
tial evidence, but evidently it was
not strong enough in the eyes of the
jury to outweigh the presumption of
innocence with which every defend
ant upon trial for a crime is sur
rounded, or to warrant them to re-
turn a verdict Of guilty. There was
no middle ground upon which they
could settle.
The defendant was either guilty OF
murder, the penalty of which is
death, or he was innocent of the
crime charged, and entitled to go
free. The state was ably repre-
sented throughout the trial and the
eloquent pleas made by counsel for
the state in their arguments was
closely followed.
The defendant was also ably rep
resented, and the pleas of his counsel
in their argument for the life and
liberty of their client were logical
and ably presented. Neither the
state nor the defendant have any
reason to complain of the manner in
which the prosecution and defense
was conducted. 1t was a hard fought
battle between able attorneys, who
presented their different views of the
evidence to the twelve men who COM
posed the jury.
