Sand Painting.

One of the most curious native customs
of India is that of making sand pictures,
or "sand painting" us it is often called.
1t is generally done on festal days in fronJ
of both houses and temples, and it has u
religious significance The sand, which H.
prepared and sold by natives of the Dcccan,
is white, red, black, blue, orange and pur.
pie.
A woman, who has observed certain rrc.
liminary ceremonies, takes the sand in her
hand, and allowing it to tricllc out as sh0
moves her arm forms upon the prepared
ground in front of the door curious cOlorcd
designs, incloscd with border and repre-.
senting human figures, crosses, scmicirclGi
or birds.
One explanation of the purpose of these
pictures, according to Mr.. j. W. Fewkcs,
is that they are believed to attract good
spirits To step on sand painting brings
bad luck.
This strange custom assumes u scientific
importance when it is known that it pre-
walls in almost exactly the same form
among the Tusayan Indians in the south
western part Of the United States. The
Pucblos, like the Hindoos, ascribe to thu
pictures lnc pOMCr vi uJuFdCllnB lrienull
spirits, and they also use them in cerc-
monials intended to cure the sick. 1t has
been suggested that, as far as it goes, this
fact is an indication that our Indians arc
related in origin GO the native races of In
dia.
The first European discoveries Of Amer
lea thought they had hit upon the eastern
extremity of Asia, whence the name of In
dian given to the red skinned inhabitants
whom they found here. Would it not be a
singular coincidence if further evidence of
community of origin should finally cstab
fish the fact that the Indians are really In
dams?

Iennille, Washington County, Georgia,
June 29--There is but little additional in
formation that can be given this week Of
the cotton crop. The last ten days has,
been favorable to sts growth. both as 10
moisture and temperature. and yet the
plant IS small. The tillage has received
especial attention The small grain crop
mas not drawn on the cotton field for labor
to harvest Il as usual. and the seasons
have been par excellent for the working
OF the crop. There Is need of rain again.
but as practical showers are falling in diff
ferent sections of the country, IL is OK
pected this section will get some In time.
Elberton, Ebert County. Georgia, June
3S--The cotton crop OF this county is more
backward than Il has been in several years;
the rains have been only partial and in
some sections the crop IS suffering. In
many places the stand Is bad, and unless
there Is a decided change for the better.
no more than half a crop Will be harvest
ed Corn and other crops are in good con-
dition.
Paschal. Talbot County Georgia, June

THE GROWING CROPS.
Cotton Continuing in a Good Condi-
ton,

Lumpkin, Stewart County, Georgia, June
29.-The county has been visited by rains
during the week, except a few places
where it is dry. Crops of corn were never
more promising. A large area is planted
too, and unless injured by drought here
after there will be surplus. The cotton
crop as ii advances looks better but the
weed is small and stand not good. The
outlook is not so favorable by 80 per cent.
as last year. There are several causes for
this: First, not more than so per cent of
guano was used; second, the, crop has
suffered from excessive rain and grass, and
these have caused the stand to be poor.
Midwife. Burke County, Georgia. June 49,
Since the recent rains of past few days
both long and short cotton staple has i'm
proved and is doing well. 1t is limbing
and fruiting nicely, and bids fair to give
a good yield The crop has been well titled
and is clean.
Americus, Sumter County. Georgia June
29-The weather for the past wo weeks
has been very favorable to growing cotton.
Rains the present week have fallen in
many places, but even in localities not fav-
ored, where complaints are heard of injury
to growing corn. cotton has not suffered.
A fair crop may be expected wherever
crops have been well cultivated.
brownsville, Thomas County, Georgia,
June 29.-The condition of growing cotton
continues good. The last week has been
very favorable and the crop has about
overcome all backsets.
Albany, Dougherty County, Georgia,
June 29.-Cotton is looking well, but is not
as large as usual at this season of the
year.
Davisboro, Washington County, Geor-
gia. June 29-The crop outlook has not i'm
proved recently as was expected, and al
though the cotton has not materially suf-
fered for moisture. yet the plant is small
for the time, and planters say that 1t APP
pears lifeless. The rains are still partial
and in the dry districts corn has commenc-
ed to fail good crop could hardly be
counted upon unless rain should come soon.
Douglas, Coffee County, Georgia. June 80.
Sea island cotton in this county is yet
backward and small. although it took a
squirt of growth from the past weeks good
weather. We are now having too much
rain for the good of this crop, while II is
the making of corn, cane, peas and pota-
toes.
bonneville, Clinch County, Georgia, June
29.-Cotton has greatly improved in the last
week. Rain has fallen in most all sections
of the county From the present outlook
the Weld will exceed that of last year.
other crops are good
Hazlehurst Appling County, Georgia,
June 29-The past week has been very
bad one for cotton as great deal OF rain
has fallen The farmers had their cotton
worked out before the rain began.

Murderous Outrages on Little Girls Causes
Great Excitement at Walth smstow. Eng.

London. July IA series of outrages
and murders of little girls of ages ranging
from four to seven years has created great
excitement among the working classes in
the district of Walthamstow, seven miles
northeast of London
Within two months five little ones have
been decoycd from near their homes and
have completely vanished Searching
parties have subsequently found their
dead bodies lying In the fields stripped Of
all clothing and giving evidence Of the
most outrageous treatment.
In every case the victims have been of
the same type of children, who have been
playing along the roads ide or on their
way In discharge of short errands. The
Immediate cause Of death in every in
stance has been strangulation. The police
inquiry points to well dressed man of
thirty. but here the clew stops
Only one Of tho many victims of this
monster, whoever no may be, has sue
c,eded in escaping death She is "a little
girl four years of age. After having
been subjected to most horrible treatment
