Heavy Rains UnfavOrRble in South

Heavy Rains UnfnvOrRbIe in South
Atlantic and East Gulf States.
Washington. Aug. 30.-The weather bu-
reau, in it's review of crop conditions for
the week ending Aug 29 says: Continued
heavy rains have proved unfavorable in
the South Atlantic and East Gulf states,
while drought prevails in portions of
Texas, Arkansas and Missouri, and gen
orally throughout the states of the Eastern
Rocky mountain slope. The week has
proved very favorable in the New England
and Middle Atlantic states, the lake re-
gion, and generally throughout The central
valleys, the high temperatures favoring
the rapid maturing of crops.
With the exception of portions of Kan
sas, Nebraska, Missouri and South De
kota, where the late crop has been injured
by drought and excessive heat, the week
has been very favorable for corn, which
Is maturing rapidly under favorable con-
ditions throughout the central and north
ern portions of the country. In the south
ern counties of Nebraska corn has ripened
too rapidly under the high temperatures
OF this and the preceding week, and as
result a considerable proportion of the crop
in that section of the state viii be chaffy.
Some cutting has been done in nearly all
of the principal corn states.
Harvesting and threshing of spring
wheat continue in Oregon and Washing
ton In Washington threshing shows good
yields, which, however, have been some

the eastern portion of the cotton belt,
where it has suffered from heavy rains,
which have been continuous for the past
month, causing rust, shedding, and too ra-
pid GROWTH of fsIalk. In portions of North
Carolina, and over the central part of the
cotton regions, conditions of the past week
have been somewhat more favorable for
the crop is improved In Tennessee, Mis-
souri, and portions of Mississippi and Ar
kansas. Cotton has also improved in Cen
trail and Northern Texas, but insects are
causing damage in many localities, and
premature opening and shedding are re-
ported from the central and southern por-
tons of the state. Picking is becoming
general in the northern portion.
Except in New England, where warm
dry weather is needed to mature the crop,
the week has been favorable for tobacco,
a general Improvement being reported
from an tobacco producing states. Cutting
is general in Kentucky, Virginia, and
Maryland, and large part of the early
crop has been housed.
"Over the greater part of the country the
month of August has been generally ia
vorable for ploughing, for fail seeding,
which is pretty well advanced, and In
Ohio, Indiana and Illinois is practically
finished, while some seeding has been done
in Iowa In portions of Kansas, Iowa and
Nebraska, however, the condition of the
soil has been less favorable.

marriage took place. Col. Jordan said that
the hoy was hunting Leftwich with a pis-
tol, intent upon killing him when, he dis
covered the true state Of affairs but was
dissuaded, and induced to leave the state.
The case has been widely discussed in ar
circles OF society. To-day sympathy is gem
orally expressed for Mrs. Leftwich, while
the husband is severely criticised, especial
iy among members Of his profession. His
statement is regarded adrot effort TO
attract sympathy to himself and possibly
advance his interests in securing divorce
for himself and marry the woman named
as correspondent by his wife.
