Following the rain Sunday morning there was a decided drop in the temperatur-* snd the freezing point was reached Monday night. Tuesday morning ice was generally seen in low, exposed places where the rains of the last few days had not run off. With the unseasonable cold all prospect of a full fruit crop this year became a thing of the past and it is now said by those who have orchards that at best few peaches will reach maturity this year. But however disturbing the thought of the scarcity of home grown fruit may prove, there is the more disturbing thought that April 8 is here and not on one farm in half a dozen in this section has a furrow been run toward the preparation of the land for the cotton crop. Rain has fallen in thiH | section on an average of every third day since February 1 and the farmers are consequently farther behind with their work than has been the case in | years. A full cotton crop cannot be expected in this section unless the seed j are in the ground before the last of April. Many farmers are therefore saying that with only three weeks left in which to plant their cotton the best, they can now hope for, even should the 1 rains cease and at once be succeeded by warm spring-like days, is to put two-thirds of a crop in the ground. Hans to Reject Pence Resolatinn? Washington, April 7.?The belief that Germany will not accept the peace resolution of the republican house leaders, thus making it ineffective in restoring normal trade relations, was expressed today by Representative Flood, of Virginia, ranking democrat on the house committee on foreign affairs. In the minority report for the house democrats on the peace resolution, which will he called up tomorrow, Mr. Flood attacked the resolution to declare war ended on these grounds: It will cause the I'nited States to lose her hold on $750,000,000 worth of German property held during the war; it is unconstitutional because it assumed the treaty-making power* of the president; it will cause serious difficulties in the collection from Oermnny of the cost of maintaining the American forces as n '>art of the army of occupation, unless Germany readily accepts the resolution; it will also bring aland "endless international tangles." The cost of maintaining the American army along the Rhine is estimated at $100,000,000. ^ ? t m r les in 1\ jng Men ien are keen for style; >repare for that demar, ?A n i 5 no clothes more sty] than these new ones. > and three-button, sin er; square notched lower. smart double-breasted $25 $35 tisfy yourself how reaj re, though made of tl woolens, we would si 5 before investing in ?
