no one was in reach Of the flying missiles.
A small shanty containing a negro wo-
man is said by the police to have been
washed from its foundations.
The weather men report the rain to have
been general all over the cotton country,
and predict an Improvement in the crops

likely to suffer. More rain is looked for.

No Female inmates Escaped.

NIilledgeville, Ga, July 17.-Editor Morn
ing News, Savannah, Ca: Permit me to
correct an article appearing in your issue
on the 18th inst, headed Insane Asylum
Scandal" and dated Macon, Ga, July Is.
The article states that "three male in
mates of the asylum have come to this
city recently, and been under police sur
Velllance, as each brought with him one
of the female inmates"
The statement is wrong in reference to
the escape of the female inmates, as there
has been no escape among the female pa
tents. 1t is true that three male patients
have made their escape from the asylum
in the last month or two, and / under
stand spent some time in Macon. Two of
them were not returned, from the fact that
l did not regard them as insane at the
time of their escape and so notified the
authorities when advised of their presence
in that city. The third patient was kept
at home at the request of his family.

been aroused, arrived with the chee.ing
news The boy will probably try life
again.
He was exceedingly violent when arous-
ed and for a while the doctors thought
he was mad. He had in his pocket large
bottle containing an antidote with which
the doctors and druggists are well ac-
quainted for the poison, but IL he thought
of using it and only making a feint at
suicide, he waited too long
A second attempted suicide came to
light tonight. Eula Collins swallowed
large dose Of morphine, and was carried
TO the hospital. When she found that
she was safely alive she fought like a
