' The G 0 % EL SATUf ATS ? ?????? Crops Damaged by Frost?Some Fat Steers?Municipal Election Takes Place?Other Locals of Interest. Jonesville, April 7th. The * cold winds and repeated frosts have destroyed most of the peach and plum crops. Early vegetable plants have also suffered from the cold. But little planting has been done in this section, but most farmers are about ready to begin the planting of cotton and will plant their corn crops after the cotton from the fact that late corn as a rule makes the best crops. Mr. C. O. Allen of Greenville, has on his stock farm near Jonesville Bixty one fat slick steers that will weigh at least twelve hundred i ounds each. Mr. Allen has counted off twenty head that he has about closed out to a purchaser at 4? cents. The contractor will finish the steel bridge at Grindall in a few days. Work on the approaches is not so well advanced and the grading of the road on the Cherokee side is not done yet, but all thi? will be done in the near future and the new road will be ODened to the nublic. The municipal election came off here today and the largest vote was cast that was ever polled here. J. F. Alman was elected mayor over II. J. Hames by three votes. The wardens elected are A. L. Bassett, J. L. McWhirter, J. J. Littlejohn, and R. J. Kirby. Mr. II. F. Floyd had a fine mule to die this morning.

Levees Holding Out Well. Memphis, April 12.?Tho Mississippi river at this point after coming to a standstill shows a slight declino today, the guage marking a sijfall fraction bcknv the 39-foot stage. The* Arkansas levees are holding out well. Chief Engineer Pharr, of the St. Francis loveo board, Is still concerned about the situation or the levee in the vicinity of Bradleys. The water at that point is close to the tc"? of the dikes and tho levees are becoming saturated, and therefore less able to resist the pressure of tho flood with every hour that the high water stands against them. The levee people, however, are very optimistic and claim that with favorable weather tho levees will come off safe. On the Mississippi side the levees are practically Intact. The cave-in reported at Balsshed has been repaired and no leak or crevasse is apprehended. The track of the Yazoo and Mississippi railroad at Ensley, 5 miles south of this city, is under water for a distance ol about 4 miles, but thus l'ar no disturbing consequences have resulted. The water in some places is 2 feet above the rails. Passenger trains are running over the submerged tracks at a slow rate of speed. Trouble with Natives. Now York. April 12.?Difficulty is being experienced by the government with the Buriats, the aboriginal inhabitants of Transbaibalia, nccording to The Times' dispatches from Russian correspondents. The Buriats, who are Buddhists, are accustomed to a nomadic life and object to being organized into settled communities. Many have expressed a desire to emigrate to Mongolia, but the government has refused permission. Death Sentence Commuted. Boise. Idaio, April 12.?The state board of pardons last night commuted the sentence of George Levy to life imprisonment. He was to have been hanged on Friday for the murder ot Davis Levy, in October, 15)01. Tho feature of tho application for clemency was a showing indicating that another man may have committed the deed. Bob Taylor on Candidates. Every honest man who runs for office is a candidate for trouble, for the fruits of political victory turn to ashes on his lips. To me there is nothing so pathetic as a candidate. He is like u mariner without a compass, of uncertainty "between the smUing^mttTofKope'and tho frowning crags of fear. He is ti tilking petition and a living prayer He is a pack-horse of public sentiment. He is tho dromedary of politics; and even if he reaches the goal of his ambition, lie will soou feel the beak of the vulture in his heart and the fang of the serpent in his soul,.? Bob Taylor. m ??
