The several weeks drouth was
broken last week with occasional
local showers and by the last Of the
week the rains seemed 30 be pretty
general. The late cotton seems to be
coming up and everything seems to
be growing beautifully, and broad
smiles have taken the place Of the
long distressed frowns on the farm
ers' faces. A good many have COM
menced sowing peas for hay. Early
cotton is pretty well all worked over.
A few have begun cutting their clover
hay, and early oats are coming IN
this week. The Oat crop generally is
light this year.
Mrs. S. G. McCluney, Of near
Atoka, had the sad misfortune to
fall one day last week and is seri-
ously crippled in her hip. We under
stand that it is thought no bones are
broken. Mrs. Mckinney will have
the sincere sympathy of her many
friends in her afflietion, who regret
to hear of her misfortune.
Mr.. Moffatt Greer Boyce, who has
been attending Erskine College, Due
West, S. c., returned home last
Thursday; also Miss Eleoease Strong,
who has been in the Woman's Col-
lege, at the same place, returned

WEALTHY NEGRO PLANTER
BEHEADED NEAR MEMPHIS

Two theories were advanced Fri
day as to motives for the murder Of
Alex Butler, wealthy negro planter,
whose headless body was found
Thursday in a pigsty on his farm,
six miles north of the city limits of
Memphis, opposite Island 49,
His neighbors think revenge was
the motive, as Butler in the fall gave
assistance to Bert Bates, prohibition
officer, in locating stills, which were
numerous in the bottom lands in that
section Of Shelby county. Several of
them were raided, although Buffers
aid was not entirely voluntary.
Others think that Butler was killed
in order that thieves could steal his
livestock, four horses and one mule
being reported as missing from the
farm.
The man had been dead several
days when found.
