DISCOUNT RATE oUT AGAIN.

LONDON, July 11-By The Asso-
ciated Pressl@The Bank u England
today lowered its discount rate to ,
per cent. n reduction Of onelhalf pr
sen. from the figure established On
June Ii.
The reduction Of the official mini.
mum furnished another Of the periodi-
cal surprises which the Bank OF Eng
land has given the money market dur
ing h past year.
1t was anticipated when the federal
reserve bank rate in the United States
was lowered that the lower bank rate
here would follow. hut hope for this
vanished with tho Tightening condi-
tons in the money market and the col
lapse OF mark exchange. as well as
heavy borrowing by the government
ron the Bank OF England.
Tho government a since repaid
virtually all this indebtedness and as
h foreign exchange situation is ad-
mfttediy less strained the bank has
given traders further help by taking
one-half OF ono per sent from the
minimum. The reduction also is ex-
pected to stimulate the buying OF gov
eminent securities on the stock or
change.

THREE DROWN IN
MISSISSIPPI RIVER

Ernest Rast and Marion Gray, both
Is years old, and Thomas Whitby,
aged %, were drowned in the Missis-
sippi river Saturday afternoon near
Cedar Point, Ark.
The two younger boys were in the
river swimming, and it is thought
they ventured too far into the swift
river current, not having enough
strngth to reach safety. Mr.. Whitby,
realizing their amost hopeless pre-
dicament while standing at the edge
of the river, made a heroic attempt
to save them, when he dived into the
stream, but was overcome from ex-
haustion, and was drowned also.
The three bodies were recovered
after drifting down stream. The
bodies of Coy and Rast were found
Saturda, mo.mag, bit it was Sum-
day morning before that Of Whitby
was found.
4 The funeral of all three took place
Sunday morning at II o'clock, Rev.
J. w. Joyner, assisted by Rev. 7. G..
McKelvey, of Millington, and Rev.
Salisbury, of Kerrville, conducting
the services, after which the remains
were inferred in Uriel cemetery.

LOCUST APPEAR IN COUNTY

What is thought to be the seven
teen-year locust has been discovered
in the river bottoms along the Mis-
sissippi in Tennessee. According to
County Agent G. S. Hollingsworth
who personally inspected the cotton
crop of Mr.. w. H. Barton on his bot
tom farm near. Randolph, the insect
has badly damaged several acres of
cotton by boring into the stalk and
completely killing it. The same is
true of several other cotton crops in
that vicinity on overflow lands.
According to the Bureau Of Ento-
mology of the United States Depart
nent Of Agriculture, there are about
30 broods of the seventeen-year To-
Gust scattered over the United States
in different sections and appearing in
different years, A recent bulletin
from that bureau predicted that the
locust would appear this year in Hi
nois and Southern Wisconsin. with
small broods along the Great Lakes.
In Indiana, on the border of Lake
Michigan, the characteristic whirring
noise of the locust will be heard. A
big brood will appear in Eastern
Iowa, according to the observations
Of the Department of Agriculture.
Thus far the locust has not APP
peared in upland sections of the coun-
ty, but is feared that unless some
thing is done to check their progress
there viii be a general infestation Of
locust, spreading from the overflow
lands to the hills and ridges Of the
county.

With the announcement of candi-
dates for Representative and floteriaI
representative from Upton and Laud
erdale counties, the voters, both meT
and women, have begun to show con
siderable interest in politics. Only
a few weeks remain until the August
primary election, in which nominees
will be chosen for governor, Senator
and congressman from this district
These races, combined with loca
fights for seats in the legislature, are
sure to infuse extraordinary Interest
in the election.
Former State Senator w. w. Craig
of Ripley, and Hon Finis j. Garrett
present incumbent and minority leader
in the House, are the contenders fol
the congressional toga. Both candi-
dates have substantial followings in
this county
In the race for governor all factions
in the county are united in their sup
port of Hon. l.. E. Gwinn, a native
son and strong contender for the
Democratic nomination. Thus far his
opponents have failed to visit Coving-
ton, knowing his strength in Tiptor
county is impregnable. Mr.. Gwinn's
candidacy will insure perhaps the
heaviest vote ever cast in a primary
election in Upton county,
Esq. George R. Ellis, Jr, Of Nun
ford, and Capt. D. w. Ruffin, of this
district, are the opposing candidates
for direct representative from this
county, Both of these gentlemen are
known and both of them are running
on a platform favoring a reform in
the tax system.
For floterial representative from
Lauderdale and Upton counties, Esq
Josh j. Miller, a prominent farmer
and merchant Of Gift, is opposed by
Mr.. William McClanahan, of this city,
They are canvassing the county in the
interest of their candidates. and lin
ing up their supporters in every dis
trict. Mr., McClanahan is a young
attorney at the local bar.
The friends of Gem John A. Tip
ton, eager to draw him into the race
for floater, circulated petition quail
flying him as a candidate, but he has
declined to run.
In the race for register, the regu-
lar Democratic nominee, ESQ. J. f.
Wooten, of Munford, is opposed by
three independent candidates. They
are Messrs. John Walton, w. w.
Peeler and John T. Headin. Esq.
Wooten was nominated over a long
ijst iof opponents IN the primary
election last August, Mr.. Walton be-
ing one of his stronger opponents. AT
the present time it can not be accu-
yately estimated just what strength
the three independent candidates will
be able to obtain, as little expression
SO far has been heard concerning the
race.
None of the Democratic nominees
for county object are opponed by
independent candidates except in the
registers race. The nominees are
as follows ]. J. Peeler, trustee;
John H. Upton, county court clerk;
Lucian Cockrill, circuit court clerk,
and G. N. Volz, sheriff,
BY reason of the splendid welcome
accorded Capt. G.. 7. Fitzhugh in Cow
ington Monday afternoon, it seems
that the senatorial race will create
some interest on both sides.
