 Nine Acres Carrots

Crystal Springs, Miss, June 1S.--
 For number of years Daley Boleware, one of the young farm CTS, has devoted most of his en- elgies so. the growing of carrots, nd this season ne hit it lich. Daly r:.d in nine acres of carrots. From ts:is acreage he so,d on the curb here 5000 hampers of carrots. An average received in dollars and cents for his crop was S1.50 per hamper, so that he received for his crop the splendid sum of $5,350, or about $650 per acre for the crop. Daily is satisfied and has no grouch.
 To Walter Scott belongs the blue ribbon for growing the best car rot crop per acre this season. MT. Scott had three-quarters of an acre planted in carrots, and from this small plot of ground he gathered and sold in the market the enormous amount of $40 hampers of carrots. These carrots averaged him $l.5O per hamper, so that he received in money for his small acreage the handsome sum of $960, and this, it will be remembered, was on less that an acre of Crystal Springs real estate.

As it was the score reverted to the fifth in- ming and only two could count.
 The locals entertained the Marvell aggregation yesterday afternoon and due to the brilliant twirling of FL berfield and in spite of some un- canny plays in one frome they wiggled through one counter to the good. Elberfield was the complete matter of the opposition at all stages of the fraeas and they were lucky to secure the two hits they did get, both of them being rather scratchy. t

M, H. FORD FOR
 COUNTY JUDGE
WELL KNOWN PLANTER AND FORMER SHEFIF MAKES AN NoUNCEMENT FOR IMPORT ANT COUNTY OFFICE.

Confirming reports that have been current for week or ten days to the effect that M. H. Ford had de- cided to enter the race for the democratic nomination for county and probate judge, Mir. Ford yes terday authorized the Courier-In- dex to make formal announcement of his candidacy for this office. In placing his name before the vo- ters for their consideration it is hardly necessary to indulge in any extended comments on MT. Ford's qualifications to fill the office of county and probate judge, so well and favorably is he known and so prominent has he been in the affairs of the county for a number of years. He came to Lee county from Ken lucky in 1866, just after the close. of the Civil War. He was a poor boy and worked on farm for ten and twelve dollars month. By his industry and his savings habit he accumulated nest egg and later invested in lands. Due to his splen- did management and good business judgment he prospered throughout the years and is now one of the most successful planters in the county. MT. Ford's commanding appearance, his close attention to duty, the promptness with which he discharges every obligation, wheth- CT financial or otherwise, his af- liability and courtesy combine to make him man of distinction-- so much so, in fact, that the people of Lee county have repeatedly hon- ored him with public office. Ills first public position was that of city marshal of Marianna. Later he served as county treasurer one term and was then elected sheriff and collector in 1900. For twelve years he most acceptably filled this position and hundreds of people in Lee county point to Mir. Ford's ad- ministration as sheriff with par donable pride, declaring him to have been one of the most capable and efficient public officials Lee county has ever had. Five years sgo when Judge Derrick died, MT.
 2erd was, appointed county judge | to fill the unexpired term. He enters the race for that office now upon the strong solicitation of vo- ters from all sectins of the eoun- | ty. By temperament and training he is peculiarly we'll qualified for the office. He has successfully handled his own business on big scale and no one doubts that he can just as successfully handle the conrty's business. He is mau 0f even poise and bearing, conservative il lis judgment anu safe in Eis de- cisicns.
