ATLANTA. Ga, July 21.-Louise Harrison, who

amounting to something over $12 .OoO to Lewis
Redwino. the Gate City National Bank wrecker.
Six years ago Redwine made away with 910O, 900
OF the banks funds.
Various theories were advanced to account
for tho way in which he had spent tho money,
and they all presupposed the fact that the Har-
rison woman had secured considerable Of
the funds. 1t was even held by some
that she had been indirectly, connected
with the banks failure, and 1t was
fully expected that she would be incrim-
mated by Redwine when he was placed on trial.
He did not mention her name. In some quarters
an effort was made to make her association with
the affair feature of the prosecution. but II fell
through owing to the opposition advanced by
Redwine.
The woman has been at work ever since Red
wines trial, saving this money for his use when
he returned from the penitentiary. His term
will expire In November and an effort Is now on
foot to secure pardon for him. II is announced
here that this money will be used to obtain
start in business.

Robert Bonereid OF Galveston Says Parmsss
Are About 10 Have Good Times.


GALVESTON. Tex, July 2l.-Robert Bono
field, who Is one of the best authorities
in the South on cotton and grain, looks
upon the sharp advance in wheat during the
last ten days legitimate. He sees good
prospects ahead for the farmer and looks hope
fully on the situation. Mr. Bonefcd is an ar
dent Bry anite. too, and earnest advocate OF
free silver. When asked for the reason for the
big advance in wheat. he replied:
The cause is the certainty of a deficiency in
tho crop in France. which will require this
country to import from 10000, 900 TO so .oOo,-
600 bushels in excess OF the amount of
wheat produced there. Added to that
is the unsatisfactory condition OF the
crop in the Danubian States and southern
Russia. 1t Is expected that this shortage In
Europe. together with the known shortage in
the Argentine in Australia. and in India will
more than offset our good crop. Our crop 10 eK-
pected to be 55OOO0.OO0 bushels. or about
100,000,0OO bushels more than last year.
" In the Pan Handle two weeks ago. the farmers
were getting 90 cents II bushcl for their wheat.
To-day they are getting o. cents. This is for
No. red winter. do not think il would be adj
vantageous for the farmers in the region tribu-
tary o Galveston to hold out for stiff prices"
Mr.. Bonefeld was asked il he looked upon the
present year as one in which farmers would get
good prices. He said 1t looked that way.
