This caused liquidation by recent buyers and the decline was accelerated by a drop in stocks and weakness in the foreign markets coupled with a decline of sterling and other forms of foreign exchange. The downward trend of values kept up practically to the close of the week, causing values to ease off 77 to 78 points from the weekly highs. The market received some support at times from indications of too much rain in the belt which gave rise to fears that the boll weevils would be given a chance to spread and damage the crop, the progress of which up to the present time has been rather favorable. The following shows the high, low and closing sales in the New Orleans futures market during the past week compared with a year ago. Last ing Pine, Clay Clark, J.

OcM Fit F. Brick Now Wonders If Bilbo 'Pulled9 Wrong Man (Continued from Page One) has hit this state sens the shell game started with the circus is the straw vote. One of these little fel lows gets around and huddles up the folks fer his man, and then he-pretends he is havin a straw vote, and rushes it over to his candyaates' headquarters. Mr. Tom, have you ever notised that the candydate who has the most straw votes took for him.

gets the fewest votes on elecshun day. Check on this and see if I'm tellin you the truth. I notis the govnor says Sure Mike cant have no Conner clnes on Ford cars, fer ever time they baclc fire the sines fall off. what does he mean by that Mr. Tom? You reckon that has refrence to his war record? And so Lester Is out of the race, Mr.

Tom. Well, who ever sed he was in it. Lester's trouble has come about by keepin the wrong kird of company, Mr. Tom, and he now has a chanst to redeem hisself It remains to be seen what course he will follow, but when they is good in a man it will always come to the top if given a chanst and them that know Lester says there is a lot of good in him. Do you reckon, Mr.

Tom. Forget ful George will get the Franklin vote? Well, he certaiiy needs it, fer I aint heard nowhere where they was goto ter vote fer him in any large numbers. -A drummer was in our town Friday and he said he had been up in northeast Mississippi, ana tne ioifcs up there say the gov nor pulled the wrong man, he should er pulled George and left Lester in if he wanted to keep the strongest man. It reminds me, Mr. Tom, of the old farmer what went to the dentls with the tooth ache.

Well. the dentis pulled around and bored around, and finally yanked her out. The old farmer ran his hand in his mouth where the old moler had been givin him trouble and bust out in a big laugh. What's the mat ter sed the dentis. The jokes on you sed the farmer, you done pull ed the wrong tooth.

Mr. Tom, the govnor done pulled the wrong man out if he expeks to make any kind oi snowjca er xus canayaaie on August 4. Well, Mr. Tom, I spoke with lots of fdlks from lots of counties while I was over to the Jedge Paul Johnson speakin and if he dont lead in this race by a big majority somebody orter ast for a recount, fer they are show goto ter ut them in the ballot box fer him. With his free school books for the children, and I understand Super-intender Bond is fer free school books, and that Mr.

White, the Millionaire lumberman is agin them, and his fight fer more money fer the farmers for their cottonseed, and his fight agin the labor compensashun ack, which helps the workingman, he wont need many more votes to put him pver. But the funny thing is, Mr. Tom, I was over to Brandon -las week and them business men are arguin that if Jedge Johnson can get the farmer more money fer his seed, he will have more money to put in the bank, and the bank will have more money to- lend to the rich, folks, which will prove the ole Bible sayin that to them that have shall be added more. But that is good sens, come to think about Mr. Tom, and these business men should also be fer Jedge Johnson.

Well, tell Dr. May I didn't get to spen the.nite with him, fer I wanted to be with my boy early nex mornin while he was sellin his watermelons. Jackson folks are mighty good to us country people. My boy parked wrong and we had to go over to that great big bildin where the fire engines are. About ten o'clock, after a long wait a nice looking man come walkin in and they sed that was Mayer Scott, the man what runs the city.

You know, Mr. Tom, he spoke to me jes like I lived in Jackson and this was elecshun year. What can I do fer you, tnd I told him me and my boy were from Puckett, that the boy parked wrong, and that I was a candydate fer mayer of my town and if he ever come over we wouldnt have no rules about him parkin, and he sed pleasant like, thats alright, take the boy and go on home. I may be runnin fer govnor against Mike Connor when this boy gets old enough to vote. Now that was nice, wasnt it, Mr.

Tom? And you know, me and my boy talked with ma about it when we got home and we about decided we will vote fer Mayer Scott fer guvnor after Jedge Johnson's term is out. Well, Jest another week, Mr. Tom and we will have the show down. That Johnson horse is shorely given them the dust off his feet, now, but if you want ter see him run, watch that second primary. He knows every kink in that second primary track as well as the firs.

Yours In the Faith, VTT F. BRICK. P. S. Mr.

Tom I see where Sure Mike made a speech in Meriden and he had the Leake County Revel ers to play When the Roll is Called on August 4 Mike will be there.

Prices, however, fluctuated within a fairly broad range, the spread being 77 to 78 points between the high and low levelsand the end of the period showed a net decline for the week of 40 to 41 points or Just about $2.00 a bale. The dominating Influences have Included the London financial conference the weather developments and the restraining effect of the near approach of th annual statistics. Something of a boll weevil scare appeared to be figuring in the calculations of traders near the end of the period, based upon reports of greater weevil activity in south Texas and in portions of Louisiana and Mississippi as well as in South Carolina.

In the first days of the week the market developed an advancing tendency due to the financial conference in London which was expected to solve the European financial troubles This early advance carried prices up 35 points. The advancing tendency was checked on Wednesday by the Issue Pine Level Nine In Win Over Piave 4-2 LEAKESVILLE, July 26. The Pine Level baseball team defeated the Piave nine in one of the best games played here this season, by the score of 4 to 2. Home runs by Evans, Mclnnis and Ferguson were features of the game. The hurling of Eyans was outstanding for the Pine Level squad.

He allowed five scattered hits and struck out 15 batters, while teammates were hitting the Piave pitcher for nine bing-les. Cooper, for Piave, made some nice catches in the field that looked almost impossible. The same two teams will play Friday on the Pine Level diamond. One of tte biggest political rallies held in Greene county during the post week was that of the Sand Hill community. A large number of county and district candidates presented their claims and gave their platforms.

The Sand Hill rally was one of the scheduled rallies made by all the office-seekers in this county. The next date set for the candidates to speak is Thursday at Byrd. REVIVAL IS SUCCESS FULTON, July 26 Friday night brought to a close the nine-day revival at the Baptist church here. Rev. A.
