THE STORY Is DENIED.

CONFUSION Evident In the Alleged
Disorder of COrpI. Giddings.
Brunswick, Ga, Sept. 6.-The Morning
News regular correspondent here return
ed from Savannah, where he had been I'M
der medical treatment, at a late hour to-
night and was informed that the sensa-
tional episode recited in these dispatches
last night as having occurred at Camp
Gordon, had been denied by Col Burgwyn
The story related to Corpl Giddngs of the
Texas company and his alleged attack on
Maj. Wright, the colored paymaster. The
dispatch was filed by one of the most re-
liable newspaper men in Brunswick An
effort to see him tonight failed on account
of the trains late arrival, as did also eff
forts to push the investigation of Col
Burgwyns denial. The substance of the
same story as sent to the Morning News
was sent to many other newspapers in the
country. Camp Gordon, where the scene
is alleged to have occurred, is on an island
seven miles away. The matter will be
fully investigated tomorrow, and if any
injustice has been done any one 1t was
unintentional and will be corrected.
The Texas soldiers themselves are
known to have been partly the authors
of the report and as far as can be learn
ed tonight if any incorrect statement has
been published the blame rest on them.

GEORGIA CROP CONDITIONS.
Everything Greatly Damaged Except
Rice md Cane.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 6.-The continued
drenching by heavy rains has done consid-
cradle damage to all crops in the state,
especially cotton and corn. This is shown
by the report of the weather bureau in
its weekly crop report, issued to-day.
The report says, in epitomlzing condi-
lions: Another week of almost contin-
uous rains has greatly decreased the dam
age to cotton, corn, hay and most all
crops. Cain seems to be standing the wet
weather better than anything else. A
great deal of hay has been badly injured
in the field Cotton continues to rot shed
and sprout. Cotton that is open has been
badly discolored by wet weather and some
that has been picked is sprouting and rot
ting. Late peaches are rotting before
ripening, and corn has been seriously dam
aged, much of it is rotting and sproutine
in the field, and the ground is too soft
and muddy to allow the corn to be gath
cred. Fodder has been injured very much.
Sweet potatoes and peas are running too
much to vine, and potatoes are rotting in
the ground. All late crops are overrun
with grass and weeds, and cannot be
cleaned. Rice and cane are doing fairly
well. Heavy rains have caused overflows
in many streams and crops along their
banks have been flooded"

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Excessively Heavy Rains DO Damage
In the Southern states.

In the Southern states.
Washington. Sept 6.-The weekly bulle-
tin of the agricultural department is as
follows:
THE abnormaly high temperature
throughout the week have been favorable
for maturing crops, more particularly
over the central and northern portions Of
the country from the Mississippi valley
eastward while in Kansas, Nebraska,
South Dakota and portions of Missouri
hot winds have proved injurious. In the
Central and Western Gulf states the week
has been generally favorable, but in the
South Atlantic and portions of the East
Gulf states excessively heavy rains have
caused much damage
on the Pacific coast the conditions have
been favorable
Corn has made rapid progress toward
maturity under the abnormally high tenn
perature conditions, a large part Of the
crop in states where it is usually exposed
to danger from frosts being now safe,
and the remainder will mature earlier
than usual Late corn has been seriously
injured by hot winds in South Dakota,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri, while
heavy rains have caused sprouting in the
South Atlantic and East Gulf states.
Cotton has suffered seriously from rust,
shedding and insects over the eastern
portion of the cotton belt, from which sec
ton numerous reports of rotting and
sprouting are also received, especially In
the Carolinas and Georgia, where the rain
fall has been exceptionally heavy In
Louisiana and Texas reports of shedding
and damage by insects are less numerous
than in the preceding week In the last
named state rain is needed for late cotton
and the top crop. Cotton is opening rap
Idly in all districts and packing is pro-
crossing favorably over the central and
western portions, but has been retarded
by rains in portions of the eastern sec
ton.
Most of the early tobacco has been cut
and housed under favorable conditions,
and the late crop is generally promising.
The soil conditions over the central and
northern districts of the country east of
the Mississippi river have continued IA
vorable for blowing, but in Missouri, Kan
sas and Nebraska it has been too dry for
this work"

one. This was thought to be the largest
amount ever awarded by a jury in SINH
lar action. Though it is pretty high es-
other estimate which If not in dollars and
cents exactly as high yet in general con-
s;deration of excellence reaches as lofty an
altitude That is the estimate of the pao-
pie in their general verdict as To the eff
cacy of Hostetfer's Stomach Bitters as a
remedy fer consultation. The action of
this gentle. but effective, laxative is never
accompanied by the gripping and other alb
donlipal disturbance which precedes or ac-
company the operation or gripping car
thartic. Moreover. ii is an Incompatible
remedy for ard preventive of malarial
rheumatic and kidney complaints, a never
