Freeze Kills Fruit.
Gordon CEeatham

Practically all Of the early fruit is
believed to have been killed as a result
of the freezing weather. A great deal
of fruit, including practically all
peaches and plums, was killed about
two weeks ago when the mercury
dropped to freezing, although some
that had not bloomed escaped. Truck
gardeners and fruit growers are COM
planning because Of the damage done
to vegetation that was above the
ground. The indications are that the
fruit crop this year will be little short
of total failure.

To the Women Voters of Adair COun-

To the Women Voters of Adair Coun-
ty:
About two months ago, 1 made my
announcement in both of the County
Papers that 1 vas a candidate for
County Attorney Of Adair County,
subject to the Republican primary,
which will be held on Saturday, the
9Th day of August, 1921. did not in
that announcement call on men or
women in an especial way for their
support, but wished and expected
from all alike, but this note is a SEGA
rate call to the women voters of
Adair county, and as this is their first
vote for County officers, 1 feel that ID
is my privilege and duty to in this
way solicit their votes and to promise
them an honest and earnest and faith
full effort to-see that the law is en-
forced impartially to all the people
alike. L intend to try and see as
many Of them, personally, as 1 can
between now and the primary, and
lay my claim before sthem and ask
them to consider it. 1 think they
ought to be treated with due courte-
sy and respect, as they are the honor
ed voters, and perhaps study political
matters and understand them as we'll
and in some cases better than the
men and when they make up their
minds it IS With reason, and they
stick. to their conclusion:
Respectfully,

the effect that he had attacked prohibi-

hibition," he said. II stated in my
speeches that the eighteenth amendment,
being a part Of the Constitution, was
binding on m and everybody else.
stated that l had made no opposition to
the Volstead act because I recognize the
fact that the eighteenth amendment was
the fundamental law Of the land.
THAT is still my position. But the
issue now before Congress is not pro-
hibition or anti-prohibition. The ques-
ton now presented is whether the
fourth amendment to the Constitution,
which guarantees the citizen against un-
reasonable searches and seizures. and
provides that searches and seizures can
only be made pursuant to warrant
issued by a court. shall be nullifed by
statute in so far as a statute can work
that outrageous end. When it comes
