and a printed copy was returned to the
Legislature, when the point was promptly
raised against putting the question
of its passage over the veto upon any
other than an original copy. The state
ment is now made that the original
Tewksbury Aims House appropriation
bill has been lost or stolen from the Gov
ernor's room. The bill would otherwise
have become a law because of the

CROPS IN GEORGIA.
All Varieties Backward, but the Pros
pect Not Gloomy.


ATLANTA, June 6.-To-day Commits
siOner of Agriculture Henderson con-
cluded consolidation of crop reports for
June l. The condition of corn, as COM
pared with the same time last year, is 80
per cent. The heavy rains in the early
spring and an unprecedented cool and
dry May greatly retarded the growth and
encouraged the attack of the cut worm.
The yield of oats will be about SS per
cent. of an average. This falling off is due
almost entirely to the fact that spring
sown oats have been caught by the May
drought.
There being no rust of consequence, the
yield of wheat will be 90 per cent of the
average. The quality is excellent, the
crop being almost free from rust.
The stand of cotton is "a per cent. of an
average, and the condition is "a per cent.
The plant is backward and smaller than
usual. The general prospect, while not
very encouraging, is by no means gloomy.
