Attention, Subscribers.

The Atlanta Constitution has
notified the LEAF. CHRONICLE that
the clubbing arrangements be-
tween the two papers, whereby both
can be had for $2,0Oper year, will
expire June l.
Those who wish to take advantage
of this unparalleled offer should do
so at once or the chance will be lost.
A great many have taken advantage
of the proposition all over the
GAINESVILLE Tobacco District. There
are many more no doubt who have
decided to avail themselves of the
offer who have not yet found it con
venient to do so. This notice, there
fore, is intended for them, and they
are hereby given warning. The
LEAF CHRONICLE alone is worth the
price of both papers, and no one can
afford to let the chance slip, by
which two good papers can be had
for the price of one. Remember the
date, June i, and send your subscrip-
lions before 1t Is too late. d2t,sw3t

BUFFALO, Wy, May 16.-The rustlers'
round-ups were abandoned, and a regular
state roundup was started Tuesday from
Crazy Woman. From the best informa-
ton obtainable, the rustlers have been
making hay quite industriously and have
taken advantage of the entangled condi-
ton of affairs to work their branding
iron pretty hard for the past few weeks.
1t is believed here that there is likely
TO be some sensational developments in
connection with the recent murder of
George Wellman. This belief is based
upon the fact that United States Mar
shall Rankin left very suddenly for Chey-
enne Sunday morning, after making
several engagements for Friday. Well
man was commissioned as United States
deputy marshal only few days pre-
vious to his death, and has friends here
who expect Marshal Rankin TO institute
a close Investigation into the details Of
the murder.
This he has done, but his movements
have been so closely guarded and the
coroners inquest has been SO secret and
mysterious that It has been impossible
TO say what was the result of his inquiry.
Inference Is that his discoveries were of
so serious nature and the affairs 80
thoroughly under control of the rustler
element that he has gone to consult the
state authorities before taking action in
the matter. 1t Is generally understood
that the authorities are doing all in their
power to conceal the facts concerning
the Wellman murder from the public
and they have the entire community so
thoroughly oowed that no one dare en-
ter protest.

UNCLE SANS RESPONSIBILITY.
Director General Davis Addresses the
House Worlds Fair COMMITTEES,

House Worlds Fair Committee.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Mr. Davis,
director general of the worlds fair, ad-
dressed the house worlds fair commit
tee Tuesday regarding the responsibility
of the government in connection with
the exposition. General Davis opened
by referring to the act of congress au-
thoriZing the exposition, and its pur-
pose. He reviewed the appropriation
made by each state, their resources, the
exhibits which might be expected from
them, and oomplimented each for its ef-
forts.
He brought the ac ton of thestates be-
fore congress, he said, to show members
how mnch their constituents were in
terested.
General Davis next took up and dis
cussed the interest of foreign govern
ments in the exposition; of their prepar-
atoms for exhibits and the large amounts
of money they had appropriated.
No limitation, he said, was placed on
the president in inviting foreign govern
ments TO the exposition, and this gov
eminent would be held responsible for
the exposition and to seeing that for
eign governments were properly provid-
ed for. Foreign governments and the
several states had appropriated over
$25, 900, 900 in connection with the fair,
and he asked If the United States could
with honor transfer the exhibition to a
corporation of any kind.
Foreign governments were asking for
space for exhibits and already applica-
ton had been made for more space than
the commission had to allot. General
Davis, in closing, urged that an appro-
priation to aid the exhibition be made
by congress.
Mr. McCreary called the attention of
Mr.. Davis to the question of closing the
fair on Sunday and asked him what eff
feet Sunday closing would have,
Mr.. Davis replied that he was not au-
thorized to speak ON this subject for
those connected with the exposition as
it had not been discussed by them, but
said that if the exposition was closed on
Sunday it would largely decrease the re-
ceipts.
Commissioner Walker stated that
Messrs. Field, Armour, Palmer and
other wealthy gentlemen of Chicago has
signed an agreement to furnish any
money found necessary to run the fair
after a government had appropriated the
five million dollars asked for. These
agreements he said would be presented
to the committee.
The committee adjourned subject to
the call of the chair.

ADJOURNMENT.
congressman Have Widely DIFF
ferent Opinions
AS to When the Grind In Wash
ington viii Cease.

Speaker Crisp Says Work Ought to BE
Completed by the Middle of July.
Members Give the Date All the Way
From July 10 to as Late rs Sept, IA
Remarkably Long Session.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-There appears
to be decided difference of opinion
among congressman as to the time when
the work Of the present session will be
concluded Some Democratic represen-
tatives express the belief that the ad-
tournament will be early. Speaker Crisp
says that the work ought to be COM
pieted by the middle of July.
Mr. Holmaa, Democrat, Of Indiana,
thinks that Aug. / is the latest date
that ought to be fixed upon. He be-
heves that all the important measures
viii have been considered by that tina.
Mr.. McMillin. Democrat, Of Tennessee.
says that the house should adjourn
July 10.
In the senate the idea of an early ad-
tournament does not appear to have much
support even among the Democrats.
Mr.. Cockrell, Democrat, of Missouri,
said that he did not believe that the
work could be completed in time to en-
able the members TO get away before
Aug. l. Mr.. Allison, Republican, of
Iowa, chairman of the appropriation
committee, said the time would be near
or Sept !.
There Is number Of important bills
yet to be considered by the senate" he
said, land do not sec how they can be
disposed of In this short time allotted
by some of the Democratic representa-
tives. The senate has not yet received
the sundry civil, the legislative, the ag-
ricultur1. the postoffice. or the fortifi-
cations appropriation bif1s. Each of
these measures will require considerable
time In discussion. Then there are con-
ferences between the two houses
on important bills which have
not been begun. Other conferences
will undoubtedly have to be held ON
bills which the senate has not yet taken
up. The Republicans are just as anx-
tous as the Democrats to adjourn early,
but they can not do 80 until the work Is
completed, and 1t must be admitted that
there remains good deal Of work to do.
Ii we get away by Sept. / we will be
doing very we'll"
Mr.. Henderson, Republican, of Ne
braska, thought Aug. would be the
date. Mr.. Frye, Republican, of Maine,
comes the nearest the Democratic idea
II don't see why we should stay here
later than tho middle of july he said.
Other Republicans who were told #
his opinion, said that he was entirely
out Of his reckoning. Those Republican
senators who do net believe that the ad
tournament will be veay early say that
politics will cut no figure in the matter
at all

A HEAVY RICE CROP.
Many Planters Have Substituted 1t in

Part for Cotton.
New York, May 1S.-The rice crop
Of the United States for 1892, as esti-
mated in Bulletin No. of Dan Tai
IMAGES Sons, just issued, will be so per
cent. in advance over any previous year.
The crop will scarcely fall short of
5000, 900 bushels, The cause of the in
crease is attributed to a substitution of
rice for cotton on some of the planta-
tons for experimental purposes.
About half of the crop was
seeded in March and April. OPP
erations were suspended this month
to be resumed early in June, con-
tinuing In the south and southwest until
the middle of July. In North Carolina
the rice acreage has been enlarged; the
season is backward, but favorable.
There is one-third more acreage in South
Carolina than last year; cool, dry
weather has retarded growth; late
harvest is predicted. In Georgia the
acreage Is shorter than last year; cold
snap IN April retarded growth pros
poets fair A larger acreage than ever
before has been planted in Louisiana,
with purpose to beat the states previ-
GUS record. Fair progress in expert
mental rice raising is noticed in Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi and Texas.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The court of
claims Monday gave most remarkable
finding in the celebrated Lee case of
damages for timber cut off the Ravens
wood va estates during the war. The
claim is an old one, and has excited
much comment because it was the heirs
of Robert E. Lee who were trying to get
damages from government that Robert
E. Lee fought against. The heirs claim
$275, 900 damages for the loss of the tim
Der when 1t is acknowledged that the
whole estate of Ravenswood Is worth
but 1875, 900. The government lawyers sur
veyed the place and place the damage,
if any. at $4,000, but the court Of
claims gave finding of s217,000. The
money, IL the claim cases conquer, will
go the heirs of the late Robert e. Lee.
