Two Bureaus Of Information Wide
Apart on Their Estimates,

The State Department Of Agriculture
Confident That the Crop VIII Not
be in Excess of That of Last Year.
The Top Crop Again Very Small.
Nearly all the Crop to be Gathered
This Month.
Atlanta, Ga. Sept. 29.-The department
of agriculture has taken issue with the
United States weather bureau crop re-
ports on the cotton crop. Commissioner
Nesbit will say in the monthly report Of
the department, issued tomorrow: I'm
the August report the estimate Of this de
partment on cotton was that it would not
exceed that of last year The reports re
ceived from our large number of CORE
spOndents for the present month verify
this forecast, and we are satisfied that,
Notwithstanding the small increase in
acreage and the large increase in the use
of commercial fertilizers, that the
prospect is such that the yield
will accord with our estimate.
The estimate of the weather bureau
has been COMPOUNDED with that of this de-
partment and through the press many re-
rts have been circulated that the esti-
mate Of the department was that the crop
would exceed that of last year 100000
bales. We regret this exceedingly, as
we are anxious that no confusion should
arise as TO the future or present reports
of the department. Last year the almost
total absence of a top or second crop had
the effect Of greatly reducing the yield.
This year we are confronted with the
same condition in even a more marked de-
gree. and Notwithstanding the lateness Of
the crop it will be practically all gathered
during the month Of October. For this
reason large receipts may be expected
during this month, with a rapid decrease
Immediately after. The late maturity
and absence Of a top crop are due to the
changeable character of the weather.
From our tabulated statement it is shown
that the condition and prospect since the
September report has fallen on % per
Gems To the figures of correspondents
we are able to add the personal Observa-
ton and inquiry Of the commissioner, who
has visited a large number of counties
since the last report, and these observa-
tiOns and inquiries CorrobOrate the re
ports of correspondents.
The weather conditions mentioned in
previous reports of unequal distribution
of sunshine and rain have continued
during the month of September. So
marked has this feature of the season
been that in rainfall we have presented,
as shown by the weather bureau reports
for the month, fall of 1851 inches at
Mount Vernon, while at Marietta the fall
was only Los. a difference so great must
necessarily result in a wide difference in
the crops in various parts Of the state.
The general tendency, however, of this
unequal distribution has been to lower the
average condition of all crops"
Following is the estimate of the depart
ment for the state: Total yield as com
pared to an average: Cotton "a per cent,
corn -, sugarcane 81 %, sweet potatoes
% and tobacco IS.

AN ACTOR BREAKS LEG.

In Leaping in a Swimming Pool He
Has Narrow Escape from Drown
ing.
Jacksonville, Fla, Sept. 29.-Th1s af-
ternoon w. J, Cummings, who plays the
part of Raymond Page, the man of bust
ness, or villain" in the play Alabama"
broke a leg. He was in bathing at the
Zoo pool at the time Mr.. Cummings,
who is an athlete, had several times
leaped from a high spring board. That
not being daring enough he drew a step
ladder TO the edge of the pool and made
one successful leap, but the second time
the ladder gave way and the actor fell,
struck against the sharp edge of the pool
wall, rolled into the water, sunk once, rose,
and sunk again, waving his hands in
mute appeal for rescue. The OnlOOBer S
suddenly realized that their com
panion was drowning and jumped in and
pulled him out unconscious. He was
revived, and his limb set and he is now
in the hospital for two months. Tonight
the play, which is partly for the benefit
of Brunswick, was not up to the stan
dard, but a fair sum was realized.

Marketed Rapidly.

marketed hapldly.
Statesboro, Sept. 20. - Farmers are
rapidly paying up their debts before they
are due, and will come out of debt and be
in better shape than in many years. One
farmer told your correspondent the other
day that they could abuse Cleveland and
the Democratic party as much as they
pleased, but he had three bales of cotton
on his wagon then that would buy seven
ty-five barrels of finest -four and had sew
eral more TO follow, besides plenty of
corn, potatoes, rice, sugar-Cane and lots
of good fat hogs He said that he raised
these articles with very little expense.
Quite an amusing spectacle on our
streets this morning was an old negro who
had Overtaken two of his runaway sons
here. He had tied their hands behind
them and was marching them over town
for the amusement of the crowd He took
them to the jail and let them take a look
at it. After the most solemn promises
from the Youngsters that if he wouldn't
whip them this time they would never
leave home again, the old negro started
them off in the direction of Savannah.
Their home is in the lower part of the
county, a distance of about twenty-five
miles
1t is believed that the cotton crop will
all be marketed within the next thirty
days, as it is nearly all open and is being
gathered and sold as fast as possible
Several farmers in this county have
already finished picking and turned theil
stock in the fields

A SAD SUICIDE.
A wel-to-do Farmer Complains of
Hard Times and Cut Hi sThroat.

L
Waycross. Ga, Sept 29-Elias Howell,
a conductor on the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad, who has Just re-
turned from Mitchell county, says
that Mr.. WI Moore, prosperous farmer,
and the most popular citi zen of Mitchell
county. committed suicide at his home
ten miles east of Camilla, Wednes ay
night, by cutting his throat with pocket
knife Mr. Moore had lost a great many
hogs by the cholera and he complained
greatly of hard times. He had fine
crop and owed only 500. Wednesday he cut
a small patch of rice and looked after
the interests Of the farm faithfully. He
said that his hogs were all dying, times
were very hard and he did not know what
would become of everybody. At sun
down he started apparently to feed his
stock, but went around the kitchen into
the corn field He stayed away from the
house so long that the family became
alarmed. They remembered that he had
looked for his pistol that morning and
his actions were strange. a negro ar
rived shortly and made a
search. Within two hundred yards
of the house, lying across
a corn row, with his left jugular vein cut,
was the lifeless body of Mr.. Moore. The
knife was still held tight in his hand and
the little blade was open. The family
went with torches to the scene. The in
terment took place yesterday at Shady
Grove church Mr.. Howell was present,
and said that the crowd which at
tended the funeral was the largest
ever known in the county. The people
all over the county were excited over the
sad death. Bette Moore, the 13-year-Old
daughter of the deceased is said to be dy-
ing at this hour from excitement caused
by her fathers death. A wife and five
grown daughters are left to mourn his
daath

and DIR. Emery Visitor.
Atlanta, Ga, Sept 29.-Dr. A. G. EN-
cry, the physician who figured in the
scandal at Opelika in company with Mrs
Gussie Turner of Macon several weeks
ago, which resulted in their leaving the
city together and subsequently joining
one another at various intervals when
ever they could elude their fami-
lies, has again come before
the public This time their
visiting place was one of the most public
Institutions of Atlanta, the Grady hOspi-
tai Recently a closed hack drove up to
the hospital on Butler street, and a small
gray-haired man dismounted and assisted
a young woman to the sidewalk. They
entered the superintendent Office
together She was stated to Me the
patient. The name was that Of Mrs.
Gussie Turner.
BECAME a PAY PATIENT.
Mrs. Turner was assigned to a room as
a private pay patient There is no denial
as TO who footed the bill. She remained
there until early this week, when she
left, not discharged as cured but she
merely quit the place as soon as she
chose to. During Mrs. Turner's stay at
the institution her sole and frequent
caller was DR.. Emory, the infat-
uated man who brought her there. The
hospital rules govern the time for visit
ing the charity patients confined in the
wards. 1t is different with those who
pay and have quarters to themselves.
They can have visitors when they please.
AFAMuIAR FIGURE.
In this way the face and figure of
the little doctor became a familiar one
about the hospital while Mrs. Turner was
there. She was accompanied as at all
times by the physician. The hospital
management is not supposed to have
known that the institution was being used
as a trysting place by the pair to evade
their families who have persistently fol
lowed them up wherever they have gone
since the exposure at Opelika, but since
the facts have come out the affair has as

FIRED BY AN INCENDIARY.
An Attempt Made to Burn a Black
smith Shop at Quitman.


Quitman, Ga, Sept. 29.-Last night
about 10 o'clock fire was discovered in c.
w. Burke's blacksmith and Woodworking
shop. Fortunately the fire was discov-
cred in time and bucket of water put it
out. An investigation showed that de-
iberate attempt had been made to set the
building on fire. The fire was started in
a corner away from the street and the
ends of the splinters with which it was
started were indisputable evil
deuce of the inCendiary's
work Coming as this did upon the heel
of Sunday nights disastrous fire, the peo-
pie are wrought up and justly enraged at
this diabolical attempt to burn the town.
The building set on fire is a very large and
old frame one and high wind was blow
ing at the time. Had it burned other
buildings and probably a business block
would have gone with it.
