Georgia Farms.

The oat and wheat crops in Terrell
couty are turning OUt much better than
was anticipated.
Adalrsville farmers have about har-
vested their wheat crop. The clover
crop has been damaged greatly by the
rains. other crOns are doing well.
Peaches are beginning 10 ripen. Berries
are plentiful on the market.
Stephen Daniel will hereafter be known
as the Garter" oat grower OF Pulaski
county. In May be cut a crop OF the
Burt oats, and now the same patch Is
nearly ready for the scytbe again, another
crop having sprung up from the roots OF
the original or first sowing.
The continual rain for the past three
or four weeks has materially interiered
with the farming interests IN Rabun
county. The majority Of the farmers are
considerably bchiHd with their work. A
large part OF the corn planted ia tue bot

FRAUDS ON THE PENSIONS.
Investigation of the Bogus Manned
Soldier Swindle.

Atlanta Oor. Macon tGa,) Telegraph.
The report OF alleged frauds perpe-
trated on the fund appropriated to supply
MANNED Confederates with artificial
limbs is being carefully aud thoroughly
Investigated. The evidence ON tile in the
Comptroller Generals office and in the
Executive Department as to the David
Gam case is conflicting. Examined the
original application for allowance filed in
the Executive Department this morning.
The allegations therein are that David
Gam enlisted as private in Company l.,
First Georgia Regulars, and on sept. 3.
1884, was detailed as railroad engineer;
that he lost leg by an engine running
over his heel, and that the leg was ampu-
tated below the knee.
An affidavit from w. w. Paine, Quar-
termaster of the FIRST Georgia Regulars,
cOrrOhOrates that.
q. w. Anderson and f. b. Palmer, who
was Adjutant of the regiment, make afii-
davit that Gam lost his leg in the war,
while detailed as railroad engineer.
Dan P1ttman, then Ordinary OF Fulton
county, made affidavit that he knew Gam
and the parties vouching for him, and was
satisfied that the facts stated were true.
This morning | made further Investi-
cation of the facts connected with the
amputation of Gann's leg. The operation
was performed in this city by DIR. Roach
and DR.. Crawford. DIR. Roach said this
morning that according to his recollection
the operation was performed IN 1866.
There had been a previous operation on
the foot and gangrene had set in. Al the
time the second operation was per-
formed the foot was bleeding freely from
hemOrrhage and the impression was that
the wound was comparatively recent.
DR.. Crawford, the other physician, hap
pened to be in the city to-day, and your
correspondent found him at the Hotel
Brunswick. He remembered having per-
formed the operation. He was certain 1t
occurred after the war, and thinks it was
in 1866. Speaking from memory he thought
the wound then was of recent date, but
could not speak positively on that point.
He was somewhat amused at the idea OF
Gann's drawing an allowance for the loss
of a leg in the Confederate service.
1t is stated tnat Gam. instead of being
an engineer at the time of the accident,
was a fireman. When engaged at the
capitol he was frequently twitted by other
employees about claiming to have lost his
leg in the service. He would reply that
he lost his leg at the rock mill in Macon,
on the Southwestern road. am informed
that the rock mill was built some years
later, about 1870.
The physician in Macon who performed
the first operation on Gann's foot, if liv-
ing, could probably throw some further
light on the facts of the case.
The bottom facts in the case will proba-
bly, be reached III a day or two.
