PREPARE TO CUT
RED CLOVER CROP

The second cutting of red clover
in Madison county will soon begin,
and indications, farmers state, are
good for an abundant crop. This was
not expected when the first cutting,
which was for feed, took place some
time ago, but subsequent rains have
developed the second crop, which is
for seed, to wonderful extent, and
that there will be much of the val
liable seed in Richmond within a short
time there is no question. Charles
Skearer, living west of the city, stat
ed the farmers of his vicinity We're
preparing to double the acreage for
this character of feed another year,
some stating they would leave the
ground to clover for several years,
since it gives the ground a rest and
admits of good hay and seed crops
being grown; then can be turned back
to tobacco an dthe weed can be very
successfully grown.

LAW IS NO JOKE
IN MADISON COUNTY

Reports at the attendance meeting
at Lexington are to the effect thai
the new school law. is being treated
IN some localities as joke, and sor7c
of the county school superintendent
are said to give it little attention
This is not the case in Madison coun-
ty where it is being enforced to the
letter, with the result that all schools
are overlooking and preparations arc
being made for more room for the
scholars. The laws, as they have beer
construed here, are believed to have
been meant as an earnest movement
and are being enforced accordingly
with the result that there is a great
increase in the general attendance
There is fine of ont less than So
for the first violation after fair warn
ing has been given, and another may
be punishable by fine reaching 500
hence the earnestness of the PROPOSE
ton.
The reports came as a surprise tC
local officers and are determined tc
follow out the policy of persistine
in obedience to the law in every re-
spect. Indications are that the fail and
winter months will record the great
est attendance in years in Madison
county schools. The parents of those
investigated by Truant Officer Paris
b: Akin show a willingness to con-
form to the law in all regards, and q
noticeable fact is that at the AVERAGE
school there are many students mast
the age of Is years. One teacher in
a Madison county school stated re-
Gently that one-half the students in
her care were bigger" than she was
but all are interested, it is said, in the
question of learning, and unusual
progress made last year promises to
be repeated this year. The county
schools will not be closed until juss
before Christmas, and indications arc
there will be rapid strides made in
various channels, including the con
tinuance of the Improvement of build
ings and the increase in attendance.

FREAK RAINS
BEING REPORTED

There was a deluge Thursday after
noon at / o'clock in the western part
of the city, which, according to a
number of residents, was a "freak,'
since in the vicinity of North street
the rain fell in torrents on the west
side, while on the east the ground
remained dry. The "streak,' as pedes-
TRANS called it, could be evaded by
merely crossing the street. County
Judge w. X. Price and number of
friends We're coming to the. city from
the west. They drove through a
binding rainstorm for a few blocks,
receiving soaked clothing, but when
North street was reached they found
themselves in the open, and yet the
rain was falling heavily behind them.
A number of citizens watched the
freak storm for some time, the inn
mense sweeps of water being plainly
while the sun shone bright through
the rain in other localities, presenting
most beautiful scene, according to
some. This has been the case in ma
ny instances recently, the frequent
rains said to have been very scatter
ing. A man driving in from the Dun
cannon district Thursday afternoon
stated that on one side of the road
the water fell in torrents, while on
the other side the thoroughfare was
dry.
