BLACKsAND WHITES FIGHT
A Pitched Battle in Georgia Between
Two Armed Factions.

ATLANTA Ga, Aug "A pitched bat
tie between Marietta and Atlanta took
place about two miles east in Cobb coun-
ty. The opposing forces were a posse of
white men on one side, searching for d
negro assaulter, and on the other side five
or SIX negroes. Friends and relatives of
the woman were on foot and armed with
Winchesters, rifles and shotguns, while
the Legroes were in wagons and on
mules, all fully armed.
Saturday night last Jesse Hardeman, a
negro farm hand 20 years of age, at
tempted to assault in a most brutal man
ner the wife of J. FL. Robinson, who lives
two miles from Marietta. The cries of
the woman brought her husband to the
house but before she could acQuaint him

A posse was Immediately organized

Estimated Yield is Two and q
Half Billion Bushels.
WORTH ssOO,OOO,OOO.
Iowa Alone Has Five Bushels to
Every Person in U. S.
Largest Previous Crop Was
2,1OO,OOO,OOO Bushels.

CHICAGO, Ill, Aug. "A local paper
says: The crop of corn this year will be
the largest that has ever been known. It
is estimated at the present time that the
yield will exceed by 200000,000 bushels
the record of any previous year This
condition did not exist month ago. At
that time continued drought in nearly
all the corn states made the outlook du
bious for an average yield. But the
rains came. copiOus, heavy, continued
showers; just at the time most needed
and today prosperity hOvers closer over
millions of home, than for many year.
How mucn depends upon the corn
crop is realized by few. The corn crop
will bring more money, if marketed,
than all other grain products com bined.
The estimated yield of corn for this year
is from 2,250,OOO,000 to 5O0.050.O00
bushels. At the present price, which is
thirty-five cents for December or May
delivery, the crop would be worth $780,
100000. a decline of five cents a
bushei would mean difference Of $118,
100000 in the value of the crop
To emphasize the immensely of this
production it may be said that the stare
of Iowa alone viii raise enough corn
this year to supply more than five bushels
to every man, woman and child IN the
UniEed States. Illinois, Iowa. Minnesota,
3tissouri, Nebraska and Kansas COM
prise what mas been termed the corn
belt. This section furnishes nearly, if
no. quite two-thirds, of the entire corn
product.
So favorable have the reports become
of an enormous yield that the managers
OF the various railroads that traverse the
valleys of the Mississippi and Missouri
rivers are already making arrangements
and perlecting their equipment for hand
ling he crop. The force of workmen
has been increased in a number of the
shops, and al rolling stock is being re-
paired and made available for use in
addition to new freight cars that are be-
ing hurried rapidly in construction.
The government report of July 10th
indicated that there would be an unusual
ly large yield of corn, but since that
report was issued the conditions have
vastly improved. Secretary Morton has
called for a special report upon corn
from all weather stations, which will be
furnished next Tuesday. The previous
greatest yield of any year was in 1899,
when the acreage WAS 7S,319.65 and the
yield 2, 112, ,892 600 bushels.
