PATSY.
SEMINOLE.
We are now dry and a good rain
would help late corn and potatoes
; and turnips a great deal, and I be
lieve everybody would feel better.
The public roads are very dusty
and traveling is quite disagreeable
Cotton is being gathered very rap
idly and I think being sold as fast
as gathered. The crop will be very
short but the good price the farm
ers are receiving will help out some.
I think the 1908 crop would have
brought more money to the farmers
at an average of 10 cents than the
crop of 1909 would bring at 15 cents.
The picking will soon be over here.
The dry weather has hurt the top
crop a great deal.
Some farmers are trying to plow
some, fixing to sow wheat and
fall oats. There has been a great
deal of hay saved up to this date
and still more to save and the dry
weather has certainly been fine for
the hay business.
Dr. J. A. Smith is kept pretty busy
now visiting the sick of our commu
nity.
People this year will have to com
mence feeding their corn very saving
to make it last as long as it will,
and sow wheat and fall oats for
early feed for 1910.

ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
f M. L. JOHNSON MAY
ENTER CONGRESS RACE
Rome, Ga. —M. L. Johnson, mem
ber of the legislature from Bartow
’ county, was here from his home at.
Cass Station, Monday, looking into
h the political situation. Mr. Johnson
gave his friends to understand that
in a short time he would make for
i mal announcement of his candidacy
s for congress to succeed Hon. Gordon
Lee.
The formal announcement of Judge
Moses Wright is expected this week,
coupled with his resignation from the
• bench. It is then expected that Mr.
’ Lee will declare whether or not he
will be a candidate, and the cam
paign will be on in earnest.
t site puts another
GUAGER UNDER BOND.
Atlanta, Ga.—Following close upon
his action in the Stegall ease, Judge
A, W. Fite has placed B. P. Thomp
son, Stegall’s successor, under a S3OO
bond to appear at the next term of
Dade county superior court and tes
tify in tiie prosecution of the Cure
ton distillery at Rising Fawn.
Charles E. Stegall was recently
put in jail by Judge Fite, because
i the former, then storekeeper and
guager at the distillery, refused to
answer certain questions asked him
! by the court. On a writ of habeas
corpus issued by Judge William T.
Newman, of the United States dis
trict court for the northern district
of Georgia. Stegall was finally re
leased. His case, involving the ques
tion as to whether or not such a rev
i nue official shall be required to give
information obtained in his official
capacity, is now pending before Judge
( Newman. It. is contended by the
United States attorneys that, such in
formation as Judge Fite desired could
have been obtained through regular
and legalized channels from the de
partment of internal revenue at
Washington, but that a storekeeper
mid guager cannot, lawfully divulge
it.
While this question is yet undecid
ed by the United States court, Judge
Fite has repeated his former policy
in serving Thompson with a subpena
and placing him under an appearance
bond.
Judge Fite himself is now under
subpena to appear in the United
States court Thursday and testify in
the Stegall case.
ANOTHER respite
FOR JOHN HARPER.
Atlanta, Ga.—John Harper the
condemned Murray county prisoner,
will not hang Friday, October 8.
Again he has been saved by a re
spite, Governor Brown Monday morn
ing granting him a reprieve until
October 22. This makes the eight
respite for the celebrated prisoner.
Harper was respited in order that
the prison commission, to which a
new member has Just been appoint
ed to succeed the late Judge Turn
er, might have ample time to make,
a thorough investigation into the
plea for a commutation of the
r death sentence. The governor is
» desirous of giving Harper every
. chance, owing to the statement that
- important new light will he thrown
’ on the case.
The governor also respited J. M. El
1 Hott, of Lagrange from October 8
s to October 22, so that the prison
■ commission can fully Investigate this
case also. z
