TaR GIRL BOUND TO RUN HIM TO

She Lived in Florida and Has Already

ives Thinks be is Man Well
Known in the Sporting Circles of
the Country.
ATLANTA, GA, July 22.-Yates Bowles,
a slender girl of II. arrived in Atlanta this
morning from Savannah searching for
faithless lover. She had Travelled for more
than 500 miles, stopping at point after point
in hopes Of securing some trace Of his where
aoouts. Yesterday the girl learned that he
had relatives in Louisville, and, pawning
few extra clothes in Savannah, bought
ticket for Atlanta. Reaching Atlanta her
money gave out, and she sought the assist
ance of the city detectives. The girls home
is near Lady Lake, Fla. There she has
lived with her parents, who are well-to-do
people.
Several months ago Theodore c. Newler,
young man with pleasing address and
smooth, easy manners, met Yates Bowles.
They became engaged. IL was the old, old
story. With every confidence in her lover
she fell. A day later Newler disappeared
and nothing more was heard Of him.
The broken-hearted girl awaited his re-
turn hopeful bur In vain, aud few weeks
ago left her home in search Of him. She
learned that Newler had been In Atlanta
but a short while ago and Immediately
came here. The girl declares that she will
not return home until she finds her faithless
lover and that she will travel TO the end
of the world. Newler In the opinion of
the detectives, is a young man we'll known
In sporting circles throughout the country.

al District.
GAINESVILLE, FLA, July PA CORE
spondent from Ocala under date Of July IS,
in your paper of July 10, speaking of the
congressional race in this the Second con-
gressional district, says: 1.-THE friends of Gen.
Bullock are confident OF his denomination
and according to their arithmetical code
make the result read in this wise. y
The test vote will read something like this:
Cooper II, Bullock 81, Sanchez Is votes,
when the latter will withdraw and his
strength and following will go to Bullock
which will nominate him. Now the corre-
spondent is not posted. for even If the votes
should be as he says, the fifteen votes going
to Bullock would not nominate him.
There are 2l3 delegates 10 the conven ton.
What is to become Of the sixty votes not
accounted forf We DO not know what
other candidates confidently expect, but we
do know that the twenty -one delegates
Sanchez's political and personal friends,
and they will give to him their loyal sup
port. We do not waut TO count chickens
before they are Matched, but are satisfied
that Mr.. Sanchez will have a strong follow
ing in the convention, amounting to the
sixty votes (aot accounted for in the above
calculation), added to the correspondent
fifteen, making Mr.. Ssnchez's vote in the
convention seventv-five, which is about the
correct estimate. and which was probably
what the Ocala correspondent intended.

COTTON HURT BY RAIN,
The Plant Made Tender and Sappy By
Its Rapid Growth.


HALCYoNDALE, GA, July 22.-Since the
heavy rains have passed there is a notice.
able injury 70 cotton. The plant has be-
come sappy and tender from the rapid
growth attained and is now shedding. Corn
comes OUT of the wet season In better condi-
tion. A good harvest OF grain of all kinds
will be obtained. The potato crop is good.
We are sabout out of the watermelon dis
trict, though some few plant in this section,
but the production is poor. There is
considerable more truck farming
being done here this season than
formerly. The attention OF the farmers
seems to be given to tomatoes more than TO
any other vegetable. With them it is prov
ing fairly remunerative, and with another
season we will see quite a diversilication OF
our farming. The idea seems to be TO aban-
don cotton culture where anything else will,
in the opinion of the planters, pay better,
or even as we'll. The preference is given
against the cotton. The excitement belong
ing to active politics is not drawing any OF
the energy of the people from their mission
TO improve their own and the material con-
dition Of the county. The weather to-day
is fair. and there is a gladness Of hearts In
consequence, and the hope that we are
passing from an ugly and depressing inter-
val to a more cheerful season.

The Groom the Principal Sufferer, But
Several Others Disabled.
From the Pittsburg DisDatch.
A wedding occurred on the South Side
last night which ended in a riot in which
three persons were badly cut. The bride
figured as the principal rioter, and her hus-
band as the chief victim Sadie Mahue and
Grant Sherring were married at the house
of William Gelbreath, on the old Tenth
street road above Welsh row. There was
large crowd present TO celebrate aud con-
siderable drinking.
Robert Galbreath, brother of William,
lives in house on the hillside almost ad-
joining. and his family was at the wedding
About IL O'Clock the crowd became hilari-
Gus and divided into two factions. The
trouble arose over question OF relation
ship. In an instant about a dozen knives
were drawn and a battle began. The Ma
hue woman seized a large butcher knife
and started for the crowd. She first as
saulted an unknown, cutting him on the
arm. The she darted toward her husband
and lashed him across the stomach, cutting
a cash about eight inches in length. She
was seized by three men and dragged out to
the street, disarmed and thrown over the
embankment leading down to Welsh row
She scrambled up again, ran into the house
by rear door, got another knife and
made a wild dash at the crowd again.
This time she cut Eli Galbreath on the head
twice and amputated thumb for young
man named Story.
In the meantime the crowd was largely
increased by wild mob from the surround
ing neighborhood, and every one had
hand in the melee. Men were thrown over
the rear porch, distance OF six or eight
feet, faces and hands were cut and scratched
women we're knocked down and trampled
upon, and there was every indication of a
general riot for q full half hour.
Word was sent to the Twenty ghth ward
station by Officer Clinton, who then guarded
the place until assista nee came. Inspector
Kelly and Officers Smith, Cochran, Diebold
and Beers went to the scene Of the trouble
and arrested William, Robert and Eli Gal
breith, John and William Fleming, and
Beckie Gslbreath. The Mahue woman and
