Discouraging News From the Georgia
Plantations.
ATLANTA, GA, Sept. 4.-The rains since
the 1st of August have made a vast differ
ence in the cotton crop. and the present
outlook Is that. in Georgia, it will be at
least 25 per cent short This information
comes from tho department of agriculture
Of the state, through an interview with Col
John Waddell, commissioner.
A HEAVY FALLING OFF.
He says: "Our report of the condition of
the crop Sept. was 81 per cent. of the
average. That was falling Off of twelve
points during August. This was due to
rust caused by the excessive rain, and the
same cause will depreciate the condition of
the crop at least ten points more by the
time our October report comes in.
STILL FURTHER DAMAGE.
"The rains of the past two weeks
have made the rust much worse,
and there is already additional
damage of ten points since Sept.
l. have been nearly all over the state and
know whereof of speak. The rust is par
ticularly bad In Southwest Georgia. In
North Georgia the condition Of the crop Is
better, but the best reports come from
counties where there is not much cotton

BLOWS OUT HIS BRAINS.
A Row With His Wife Drives a Man
to Suicide


to suicide.
THoMAsvILLE, Ga. Sept IA sensa-
tional suicide occurred at Metcalfe, in this
county, this afternoon. B. B. Doss, who
lives near Tallahassee, put pistol ball
through his head in the rear part of Rube
Manning's store. At last accounts he was
still living, but will die before
morning. He is about 40 years old,
married and the father of several children.
His brother, Capt r. P. Doss, is a
prominent citizen of this county and the
chairman of the county democratic execu-
tive committee. The cause of his rash act
is family troubles. his wife having left him
and taken up her abode with her foster
father. Rube Manning. She had also in
stituted proceedings for divorce. Mr.. Doss
stated to friends in this city on Friday last
that his mind was made up that if
his wife had waited a few days she
would have had no trouble to sue for a
divorce. He also stated, before going to
Metcalfe, that he would either bring away
his wife or kill himself He was a desperate
man, and his tragic end does not greatly
surprise those who knew him.
