CROPS IN BAD SHAPE.
Most Discouraging Report OF the Year Has
just Been Issued,

Most Discouraging Report OF the Year Has
just Been Issued.
The weekly review Of the crop condi~
tons in Georgia has been issued. 1t de-
clares that the cotton crop is too far ad-
vanced to be benefited by rains, even if
they should come in proper abundance
and fall in every section of the cotton
ueEf where needed.
More than half the crop has opened
and many of the correspondents express
the belief that the yield this year will
not be very much more than half what
was expected at the opening of the sea-
son.
1t has been unusually dry during the
past week, which, coupled with the four
weeks of oppressively hot weather in
July and August, has caused the water
in many of the streams of the state to
dry up considerably, leaving the streams
very low.
The forecaster sends out the most dis
couraging report of the year.

the campaign in Texas today, and mill
ions of plutocrats cover in apprehen-
sion. Today he is expected TO make the
greatest effort of his life except two or
three dozen. Big as the state is, he
counts up2n filling it, and he is sure to
give the atmosphere hard days work

SPANS POOR SOLDIERS.
They Get Only One Meal in Twenty-fOur
Hours.

News from along the Spanish trocha
in Cuba is of most dismal character,
from the Spanish point of view. 1t is
said the soldiers along the line are dy-
ing of disease in as great numbers as
was the case during July and August,
The heat has not moderated, and the
rains continue to be tnrrential. The
men who are not i'll or dying seem to
have lost all human ways, according to a
letter from Havana. They are limited
to one-third rations, which means one
meal in twenty-four hours, and are not
always sure of that. The result is that
sGeeg are extremely brutal, even towards
one aG0ther.

Cboi Aan Clay May Make Black LIST
Those Who Offer Their Services
Z and Then Fail to Keep Appoint
ments. Said Living
StOn Would Head
The List.

An Atlanta special to the Savannah
News says: The most serious aspect of
the state campaign just now is the lack
of speakers to cover the state properly
Chairman Clay of the state democratic
committee, upon whom the burden of
supplying speakers falls, is put almost to
his wits ends every day by the difficulty
he experiences in supplying speakers to
fill all the demands that are made upon
him. The party leaders appear to think
there is no use tC make hard fight, be-
cause the early indications were that the
democratic state ticket, as we'll as TIE
national ticket, would sweep the field by
one of the old time majorities.
While there has not been in the mind
of Chairman Clay and the others who are
taking an active part in the manage
ment of the campaign anything lately to
disturb this confidence, yet the fact that
speakers are slow to take the stump is
| becoming a serious matter.
The populists are holding Weetings
every day in every part of the state,
which is in strange contrast with the
democratic campaign. Chairman Clay
wants to stir up the democratic speakers,
so that they will realize the necessity Of
getting down to business and keeping the
populists on the run. At the outset
it seemed that there would be no trouble
about getting all the speakers that could
be Accommodated. In fact, it looked as If
there was going to be regular cyclone
of democratic eloquence turned loose
upon the state, from the number OF
prominent men who sent in letters to the
chairman rendering their services on the
stump. But strange as it may seem,
only few of these haze come up to the
rack when engagements were gwen to
them by the cbaifman, and not few of
them have failed to keep appointments
which had been made for them.
This feature of the campaign has be-
come so annoying that the chairman is
considering the advlsabi!ty of establish
inc black list of those who break their
engagements. If he should do this Con-
gresham Livingston would probably
head the list.
1t was stated at populist headquarters
today that Rev. Sam Jones would take
the stump for the populist state ticket
When Seaborn Wright spoke at Carriers
Vile he was coached by the Rev. Mr.
Jones. who sat upon the platform and
rendered fervent amen every time he
made lunge at Gov. Atkinson's admin
istratiOn.
Chairman Cunningham of the popu-
list committee has issued a manifesto di
recting the populists to circulate petit
lions, copies of which he enclosed, de-
/ manding division of managers next
month. He wants the pOpulsts to get
the democrats to sign these documents
also, if possible, and have them present
ed to the ordinary or county commits
sioners on September 22nd. 1t is then
agreed to publish the names Of the coun-
ty authorities who agree to grant di-
vision.

Rig Victory for Ir6nwood.

1ronwood has been saved $500, 900 by
n decision Of the L. \. court of appeals
at Cincinnati. In August, 1898, the
city sold $1,000 of public improve
ment bonds to Caffin & Stanton, of
New York, who paid So, 900 down and
agreed to pay the remainder in INSTALL
ments, but soon became financially
embarrassed. Ironwood got only the
first installment. The bonds passed
into hands of other men, who de-
manded the payment of interest. IRON
wood refused, holding that the bonds
were illegal, for the reason that, be-
tween the time of the voting on the
question of issuing bonds and their
sale to Cafiin & Stanton, territory was
added to the city, and the new citizens
were given no opportunity to vote on
on the bonds. The district court of
Marquette decided against the bond
holders and its decision has been af-
frmed by the court of appeals.

tory of the organization, The address
Of President Geo. L. VANITY, of Grand
} Rapids, was in the nature of a review
of the work done the past year and
favoring the proposed revision of the
rules of practice. He spoke for the re-
lief of the overcrowded condition of
the appellate courts; stricter discipline
and adherence to the precise issue in
all trials; for better class of men on
iuries; more simple transfer of land,
and other matters of interest to the
members of the association. The COM
mittee on examination of candidates
for admission the bar reported that the
law enacted by the last legislature was
found TO be very satisfactory in its
operations, and conducive to higher
qualifications for practice. The com
mittee on legislation and revision of
court rules submitted volumnious re-
port and a new set of rules throughout
for the supreme and circuit courts.
The present rules were adopted in 1853
and are in many respects antiquated.
Newton Fiero, of Albany, delivered an
