CROPS IN SOUTHWEST GEORGIA.
Their Condition Greatly Improved by the
Rains.

Their Condition Greatly Improved by the
Rains.
The Georgia wealth crop bulletin for
last week contained the following con-
corning the condition OF crops in South
west Georgia:
"From the southwestern counties are
received encouraging reports relative to
the general condition Of crops. During
the past week there has been bountiful
supply of rainfall, and vegetation has
f.esbened up wonderfully. Peas and
potatoes have been planted in large
quantities. Cotton is doing fairly well,
but d few correspondents complain of
rust. Fruit is appearing on the stalk.
Rain came too late to save the corn crop;
and at best, there can not be an average
weld. shipments Of melons have been
large, and prospects for the July crop
are excellent. Many fields of both cot
ton and corp are becoming grassy, as
the weather has been cloudy and moist,
rendering the killing of weeds and grass
difficult. Sugar cane is sGlal, but now
has a good color, and s growing rapidly
Rice is growing nicely and appears to be
healthy"

A Webster Farmer Who Is SolidsOn the
Meat Question.
The meat famine that threatened
Americas last week vanished before the
approach of one of Webster's solid and
substantial farmers. Mr.. w. E. Wilson,
the Recorder says, drove into that city
the other day with two,horse wagon
load of the finest cured meat ever
carried to this or any other market.
He had heard of the threatened famine,
brought about by the big strike i'll Chi
cago, and as he had groaning corn-cribs
and well-flled smokehouses at home,
went to the rescue of his Americus
friends
The load consisted Of I 900 pounds of
smoked mddlings and shoulders, which
were indeed most appetizing. Mr.. Wal
son says he has plenty more at home,
and can spare as much more if the block
AIDE is not soon lifted. He sold the entire
load at a good price.

= M,,d Cr.,k a. the White House.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. August 1.-The
immunity from cranks which the White
House officials have enjoyed for few
weeks, was rudely broken to-day by the
appearance al the main doorway OF an
understood man dressed In working
clothes and carving a bag OF stone
masons tools over his shoulder. He
was Thomas Cadogsn and gave his ad-
dress as the Lynn House, on Pennsylva-
MIA avenue. In an excited manner he
told the watchman: ~ want TO see the
President"
What for?" Queried the policeman,
quietly.
They want to put me under ground,
see, and l want 10 tell the President
about it; and you must not stop me, !"
replied Cadogan nervously.
A telephone call brought patrol
wagon In short order and the man was
carried 10 the Third precinct station.
Some crank papers were found on his
person, making il appear that Cadogan
wanted 10 secure the Presidents per-
mission to cline" the Capitol building.
he has called before at the White
House, but was persuaded to so away.
In a note he left for the President, he
complained that the Waterman kept him
from discussing matters OF importance
with Mr.. Cleveland.

Corn Marker Advancing.

New YORK, August There was
big boom In the corn market on the
Produce Exchange to-day which import
ed itself to the other grain markets and
caused q general strong closing all
around. The usually quiet corn ring
was transformed az times into bowling
crowd OF operators with a hubbub which
rivalled the dealings in wheat. Corn
has bsea advanced on dry weather news
for some days, but late yesterday was
weakened considerably by weather
predictions OF rains throughout the corn
belt last night. They failed 10 mater
ialize, and as result the market to-day
was regular fireworks" affair and
closed 8 a2c above last nights, with
range Of ABOUT &C during the day. No
hope is given Of auy rain aud crop des-
patches are growing worse every day.
Already the price Of corn Is within l+c
of the price OF wheat. A month ago it
looked as II this years crop would be q
phenOmenally large one.

SPENCER, w. VA, July 81, 1894.
10 tAs Editor Or ths Rsgts,sr'
SIR: The hills of Roane and the val
leys Of the Little Kauawha are again
schoing with that popular Republican
campaign song entitled "We'll Carry
West Virginia this fall, sure."-always
sung so enthusiastically by the Atkin-
son aud Dovener cohorts just before
every election, but not warbled so feel
lngly justafter lection day. II will be
the same Old story, too, this fall.
Triumphant Democracy will as usual
allow the Republicans TO carry the State
before the election, but after that date
another tune will be sung.
Here in old ROane the old time Demo-
cratic majority will be rolled up in No.
yember, and Democrat will take his
seat in the House OF Delegates next
winter. At the Democratic county con-
yention next week the friends OF Nj. K.
Simmons, Esq. will urge his nomina-
ton as their candidate for the Legisla-
ture, and from present indications Mr..
simmons will receive that honor in q
practically unanimous manner. Mr..
simmons is one Of the faithful, hard
working Democrats OF this county, whose
nomination would strengthen the party
at all points. He would get the farmer
vote of the county regardless Of party
lines. Tuey all ike him. He has had
dealings with nearly every one of them
and has always treated them fairly
and honestly. 10 his large
stock and lumber transactions he
has always been honorable and upright,
and the people OF ROane would delight
iu the opportunity of voting for Fillmore
Simmons for any Office be might aspire
10. Our convention will make no mis-
take in nominating Mr., Simmons for
the House OF Delegates, for he will be
elected by a larger majority than was
ever accorded TO candidate in this
county before. And il the old reliable
REGISTER, a welcome visitor TO hun
dreds of homes in old Roane, will say 3
kind word for him it will be appreciated
by every patron Of that staunch Demo
cratic paper. SrANDiNG STONE

CLARKSBURG, w. VA, July 81.
10 the kGuor Of ne Register
SIR:-Only three weeks remain before
the meeting OF the Democratic Cons
gressIonal Convention to chose canal
date for Congress Already several gem
tlemen nave been mentioned In tnls
connection, but there is large NUM-
Der OF Democrats in this county as well
as throughout the interior counties OF
the district who believe that the most
available candidate for Congress this
year is W. Scott, of Harrison county.
The Democracy this year demand Tor a
candidate an honest and genuine tariH
refOrmer There Is no mistaklng the
public pulse upon this question. Mr..
Scott has always been an earnest and
pronounced advocate Of honest tariff
reform since Samuel j. Tilden made IL
tbs battle cry OF the Democracy OF 1876.
His position upon this question Is thor
Oughly understood, and therefore as
candidate he would inspire confidence
In a host Of Democrats who are now sick
and Disguised with the manner In which
their cause has been betrayed 10 the
household Of It's supposed friends.
Mr.. Scott commenced his political lie
when the Democratic party was hgbt-
ing the battle against registration.
From that day 10 this be has never
wavered in his devotion TO pure Demo-
cratic principles. He has frequently
been mentioned by his friends as Con-
gressional candidate, but has always
been willing 10 sacrifice his political
aspirations for the good OF his party
Mr.. ScOtt's ability as camDalgner is
we'll known throughout the district,
Several years ago be was twice elected
Prosecuting Attorney in Doddrldge
county In the face Of large Republican
majority. In 1892 be was nominated
for the same Office in this county aud
succeeded in reducing the Re
pupublican majority more than one
half. The sincere tariff reform
Democrats OF this aud other
counties would be thoroughly satisfied
with him as a candidate. They have
full confidence in his ability to stand
steadfast to the proiessed principles OF
the party. They know that he stands
sauarely upon the Chicago platform ana
that he has the courage Of his convic-
tions and would demand that every
pledge and promise of the Democracy to
the people be redeemed. Should be be-
come the standard bearer OF the party
this fall confidence will again be inspir-
ed in the Democratic ranks and the First
district would have representative that
would scoru TO make any compromise
with this devil OF protection.

that il she merited the blessing her
eyesight would be returned ID her.
Time and again she visited the

praying there, something, she can

and she bound some Of 10 over her eyes
with a handkerchief, and again fer

be restored, went 10 bed.
When she unbound the cloth In the
morning she was able 10 lift her eye
