was tried and convicted six months later.
He was sentenced to be hanged in the
following November. but a reprieve
was granted, in order that
the supreme court could pass upon
the case. That tribunal at
frmed the decision of the lower court
and Rockmore was again sentenced to be
hanged in February of last year. The
day before the intended execution some
important new evidence was discovered.
In consequence a new trial was granted
by Judge Clark upon an extraordinary
motion, and another reprieve allowed
In August the prisoner was once more
convicted.
The case was carried to the supreme
court and a new trial denied. RockmOre
was then sentenced to expiate his crime
on April 20. The day before, with
no prospects of interpostion by
Gov. Northen. that executive, act

Clark, extended the mans lease of life

CROPS IN THE STATE.
The Reports From Every Section of a
Favorable Character.

Atlanta, Ga, May THE weather crop
bulletin, for the week ending today,
says: "A trip over any section of North
west Georgia will show green fields grow
ing everywhere. The planting of cotton
and corn has been pushed with vigor, but
considerable cotton remains yet to be
planted, but of corn there is little to be
planted, and that mostly on bottom lands.
Moderate rains now would much benefit
both cotton and corn.
"A deficiency in rainfall in the north
ern counties has caused the soil to crust
and bake, retarding the rapid growth of
vegetables. Planters have been busy
planting cotton, and the entire crop will
soon be in, while some Of the staple is
already above ground.
From every county of northeast Geor-
gia the cry is for rain. On many cotton
fields the soil has crusted so that the late
planting cannot come up. About half the
early planted cotton is up and so far good
stands have been reported.
The farmers in Western Georgia have
taken advantage of the favorable weather
during the past week, and cOtton-plant-
ing is about finished Cotton is coming
up with good stand on favorable land,
and chopping is the order of the day.
Rain is needed badly.
Crops look well in Central Georgia.
Cotton-planting is nearly finished, and
and some of the cotton is up high enough
to be chopped out. The stands are gen.
orally good
with the warm weather of the latter
part of the week, cotton has improved
in Eastern Georgia. Chopping is we'll
begun, and in some localities half the
crop is chopped out
The weather in the southwestern Sec
ton has, as rule, been favorable. Cot
ton is well up, with good stands, and
many are chopping.
In the southern section good stands of
cotton have appeared, and choppiug and
blowing are now being done But the
chief complaint of the South Georgia
farmer during the past week has been of
the cut worms in the corn fields.
Dry weather and cool nights have
somewhat retarded the growth of all
crops in the southeastern counties Cot
ton, although slow in coming up, is gen
orally looking well Sugar cane and rice
appear to be in better condition than any
other crops in this part of the state"
