FOOTBALL. IN GEORGIA.
Gov. Atkinson Has Decided to Veto the
B'll Recently Passed

Atlanta, Ga, Dec Ex-Governor A,kin
son has decided to veto the now famous
anti-football hill, and. isss preparing a
statement to he sent to the Georgia legis-
lature explaining why he has decided to
withhold his approval The fact that the
measure passed the Legislature with only
handful of opposing votes makes its fu
ture somewhat predetermined, but il
seems safe to predict that the governor s
veto will be sustained The bill was
passed in the heat of prejudice against
football, caused by the killing of young
Cannon, of the Georgia team, on the
local gridiron last month, and the legisla
tors felt that they were avenging his
death by so promptly making future ac-
cidents of II similar nature impossible
But it turns ont that Cannon comes
from Spartan family. and that neither
his relatives nor his friends are seeking
that sort of vrngence 1t is his own
mother chat has induced the governor to
veto the bill.

The Present TRrin Rate Good One for
This Valley.

The tobacco schedule in the new tariff is
of a character to entirely satisfy the tobac.
CO growers of the Connecticut valley. The
rate OF Sl.SJ a pound on leaf tobacco is
calculated to be even better than that of 3
a pound in the Mckinley bill, because OF
the administrative provision in the bill
which requires that duty to be paid on the
weight OF the tobacco at the time of its ar
rival in this country instead of at its
weight when withdrawn from warehouse.
As the loss OF weight from shrinkage and
the removal of samples often amounts 10
10 pounds in a bale of 100 pounds, it can
be seen that the duty is actually more re-
strictive than the Mckinley one. For in
stance, bale weighing 100 pounds on ar
rival, weighs about 145 when withdrawn.
Under the Mckinley bill, duty was paid on
the latter weight and at - a pound the
duty on such bale was $500. Under the
present law, duty would be paid on 100
pounds, the original weight, and aggregate
S29d. That is clear increase of about So
per bale under the new rate. The admins
tratiye provision will also have the effect
of causing the duty on tobacco to be paid
on its arrival in many instances instead of
later for by the natural shrinkage of the
bale the importer formerly secured a saw
ing of a considerable sum in duty, but now
as he must pay on the original weight he
will find it Improbable to let it remain and
shrink

THE LOCAL CROPS.
Prospects of an Abundant Harvest. Al
though Haying has Been Delayed by
the Rains.

Like other parts of New England and of
the country generally we have the prospect
of AL abundant harvest. The season has
seldom, or never been more favorable for
grass, our most valuable crop. The pas
lures have been in excellent condition
since early spring, and, with the thoroughly
saturated condition OF the soil in the be-
ginning of August, are likely to be good
through the remainder of the season. The
hay crop is the greatest known for many
years. but, owing TO the wet weather, there
is considerable vet to cut, and much OF
that which has been cut has been damaged
by exposure to the rains after cutting. \
large second crop, however, promises TO
compensate for this loss.
Corn generally looks well, but some
pieces on wet ground are al exception.
Oats show a rank growth, but, in some
cases, the crop has been badly damaged in
harvesting, by the rains, and some fields
have suffered from rust. Potatoes look
well though it is too early to predict what
the crop may be. There will be plenty OF
apples. Grape vines are loaded with green
fruit. There has been an unusually good
yield OF small fruits and wild berries.
Blackberry bushes are weighed down With
the weight OF green fruit
