CROPS IN BRYAN.
The Unseasonablv Cool Weather Has
Retarded the Growth Of Cotton.

Pembroke. Ga, June 13-The large
amount of rainfall for the past few weeks,
Notwithstanding the dryness of the soil
before and the continued cool weather,
is causing crops of all kinds to thrive and
put forth rapidly. At present they would
do well without any more rain especially
in this vicinity, where lands are not
sandy. The temperature at this date is
the most remarkable known to the pres
ent generation and the growth OF all
crops has been retarded.
Cotton in Bryan county, while a little
increased in acreage over last year, does
not generally contain the amount OF stalks
per the same land Cold weather lmme-
diately after the cotton had been chopped
considera bly, thinned it out and has, even
from the time seed was planted, impeded
the growth. Bud worms have been so
numerous in quantity and so regular in
destruction as to threaten great damage
everywhere to cotton crops, as well as to
all others. A few planters have cotton
blossoming. others have just planted, and
in general the size at different places is
greatly diversified.
In many parts of Bulloch county less
cotton has been planted than last year
and corn and other crops substituted.
Some corn crops are very fine. consider
ing the circumstances, but like cotton the
growth varies A few farmers have laid
by their corn while others have only re-
Gently planted.
In this county as wellas in Bulloch, more
fertilizer has been used under corn than
ever before, and this year will be noted
exception, as larger yield is justly ex-
pected.
Oats have been housed, the crop of
which was large. The stalks We're shorter
than last year, probably on account of the
cold, but the heads are fuller and more
solid. Most farmers have oats for sale
and turpentine operators and others are
buying oats instead of hay for their stock.
The crop of sugar cane is fine and in
many places is jointing.
The great decline in the price of peas
and rice has caused farmers to be care
less in sowing and another crop will be
smaller than the last
The sweet potato crop will be large.
Irish potatoes and beans have all been
shipped off and the only thing now in
view by truckers is okra and tomatoes
which they intend to can for sale. Gar
dens are well filed with a variety of veg
etables. The fruit crop will be larger
than last year
The cold weather has not been favora-
BILE for peaches especially the early sorts,
which are rotting as fast as they ripen.
The pear crop will be fully as large as
last years except in case of young trees

HOT AFTER HARRIS HEAD.
The President of the Southern League
Apt to Be Decapitated.

Atlanta, Ga, June 13.-It is freely pre-
dicted here among base ball men that
President Hart of the Southern League
will tender his resignation at the meet
ing in Macon tomorrow. Several of the
Atlanta directors are quoted as being in
favor of retiring Mr., Hart, and if ne does
not resign it is likely that fight will be
made on him. There is a general row on
because of the fact that President Hart
lett the state some days ago
and placed his brother in charge of the
league during his absence, when Vice
President Altmayer of Macon should
have had control Some contend, how
ever, that Ted Hart only looked after
routine work and promptly placed the
league in the hands of Vice President
Altmayer as soon as any question of adj
ministration came up, notably that of
the Birmingham club, but this is denied
from Macon, and the result is likely to be
a hot wrangle.
