Court at VaIdOsta.

Valdosta, Ca, Sept. 27.-Joe Lee, a Chi
naman who runs little store on Savan-
nah avenue, was in trouble here yester-

accused of selling intoxicants without Ii

him that the Mayor put the fine upon
him. A negro named Wander Griffin was
the main witness. Wander got on a howl
ing drunk Sunday and shot a COW, which
was lettering around his premises, though
not in his yard. He was arrested, and the
excuse he gave for his conduct was that

WEEKLY CROP STATEMENT.
Georgia Weather Has Been FavOra-
BILE to the Farmer.

Atlanta, Ca, Sept. 27.-The crop bulletin
of the weather bureau, for the week end
ing to-day, says: with the exception Of
some rain on the Dist, 22nd and 2Srd, fair
weather has prevailed during the week,
which has been very favorable TO the
farmer, enabling him to save hay and pick
cotton. While badly injured in most sec
tons by the protracted rains of several
weeks, cotton shows some improvement,
and is being saved as rapidly as possible.
The corn crop will be very poor, and dam
aged cotton that was not wholly ruined
has been housed, and a large amount of
fine hay has been saved Most late crops
are doing fairly well. Rice is ready TO
harvest, but owing TO high waters it is
impossible to drain off the fields, and much
of it has been somewhat injured.

where any union man has not been paid
for his labor at the end of the week.
The men employed by the local firm

Saturday. 1t was confidently expected by
all concerned that the remittance from
Camp & Co. with which TO pay the over
due wages would arrive on Monday, and
when II did not il was expected again
Tuesday. But again the men were disap-
pointed. The union would wait no longer
and called every bricklayer out of the
building.
