Their Condition Greatly Improved
During the Past Week.
Atlanta. Ca, June 26.-The weekly
crop report of the weather bureau out to-
day, says: "The condition of crops has
undergone great improvement during the
past week. In the first place the tenn
perature has been up to the norrnal, and
has supplied the needed heat to cotton
Then, at least, partial relief from the
drought has been furnished by local
showers and thunder storms. This relief
is only partial, as the amount of
rain has nowhere been sufficient to wet
the ground very deep, and the rainfall
has varied greatly in different localities.
There are even some points where, prac-
tically, no rain has yet fallen. and nine
weeks drought is still unbroken.
There has been little rain in the south
ern sections, and crops are badly wilted.
Cotton is in fair condition; corn is badly
damaged
In Southeast Georgia the drought con-
tinues, and corn and cotton is in poor
shape. Melons are small"

The Victim Of the Murray County
Whiteoaps Now at Atlanta.
Atlanta, Ca, June 26.-Will Roper, of
Murray county, after being shot four
times and then thrown into a mining
shaft sixty feet deep, where he remained
five days, was brought to Atlanta this
morning and placed in St Joseph's in
frmary for surgical treatment Roper's
experience was one of the most outrageous
and remarkable in the annals of white
Gaping. He was suspected of being an
informer, and last Saturday night, two
week ago, a band of Murray county white
cappers went 20 the house where Roper
outside, tied him with a halter.
They then carried him on the back of
mule to the edge of
an old copper shaft on the side of the
Cohutta mountains. From the surface to
the bottom of the shaft is sixty feet.
After being shot four times, one ball lodg-
ing in his skull and another
in his body, Roper was pushed over the
the edge of the shaft for dead
Physically Roper is a giant He
measures s feet 3 inches in hight and
weighs 200 pounds. Thanks to this
strength of constitution, he was able to
fight death for five days and nights, lying
at the bottom of the 60-foot shaft,
and finally win the victory
He was accidently discovered by a
farmer looking for stray cattle. Roper
says he did not lose consciousness during
the five days, Notwithstanding his terri
BILE condition, with death from starvation
staring him in the face if not from his
wounds. His skull was fractured by one
of the bullets, but no bones were broken
by the fail into the pit. The surgeons at
the hospital are confident of his final re-
covery. Roper was brought to Atlanta
by United States Marshal Dunlap and
the doctor who has been attending him
since his rescue.

RAIN IN COFFEE COUNTY.
Sea Island Cotton Stood the Drought
Well

Pearson, Ca, June 26.-For the first
time in about two months a rain fell here
yesterday. The Methodist quarterly
meeting commenced a week ago to-day,
and prayers were offered for rain, but
were unavailing While at Antioch the
people met at noon and prayed con-
tinuously for rain till night and were re-
warded by heavy showers Immediately
Crops have suffered terribly, especially
corn, while sea island cotton, taking all
things into consideration, has done fairly
well, much better than many expected.
Peas have not been sown, or very few
IL any, on account of the drought, and will,
therefore, be late. But the farmers say
they will have time to mature during
what is left of the season. They will be
extensively planted on account of such
big per cent. of corn being ruined by the
long dry spell.
Very few potatoes have been put out,
but now, as the rain has commenced, they
will be rushed as fast as possible. While
the farmers were very blue as they day
after day saw their crops drying up, they
are now smiling again.
