HOUSE.

\ communication from Speaker ka-
ulukou asked for a leave of absence
of one week on account of illness. This
was granted. Vice-Speaker Kaai took
the chair.
Rep. Pogue introduced resolution to
the effect that after May 2Sd, the House
hold evening sessions and that the ap-
preparation bill be made the special
order of business for such evenings.
Rep. Achi introduced an amendment
to the effect that the sessions begin

The committee TO which had been
referred the bill on heiaus reported:
In order that these relics may be
preserved, We would recommend that
the bill pass with slight amendments.
Report laid on the table TO be con-
sidered with the bill
Upon consideration of the appropria-
ton bill, Rep. Kaeo moved for a re-
consideration OF the item Salary of
Minister of Foreign Affairs. This
was objected 10 and, upon being put
TO vote, was lost.
Upon taking up items under the
head of Board of Health" Attorney
General Smith asked if the commit
tees had conferred with the heads of
various departments when items I'M
der their departments were being con-
sidered by them. He had not found
this so in his case. To treat heads of
departments in such a manner was, to
say the least, discourteous. He would
not treat his own cook in such a man
ner.
Rep. Gear spoke for the Finance
Committee, saying that the amount
asked for in the appropriation bill was
more than actually required by the
pay roll which had been received from
the secretary of the Board of Health.
There were but few changes in the
various items and these were made
with due consideration and with a full
knowledge of the facts pertaining
thereto.
Items under the Board of Health
were postponed until the committee
should have time 10 confer with the
President OF the Board of Health, this
upon motion of Rep. Richards.

composed OF the following: Reps.
Isenberg, Pogue and Loebenstein.

place, on Aug. 20. I have the facts from
his brother and from G. r Reddish and
Joseph Wilson. William Lee was on a
spree, and he and his brother were about
go yards from the house of Mr.. Reddish.
His brother was sitting about fifteen or
twenty feet away. William had OUT his
knife and was talking very loudly and
making strokes to and fro with his knife.
BY a mistroke he struck himself just he
low the collar bone on The right side. The
knife ranged downward and entered the
cavity Just below the left lung. He had
no knowledge of the wound until his
brother called attention to the blood. He
then said: Il have cut myself" They
started to Mr.. Reddish's house, and on
meeting Messre. Reddish and Wilson, VIII
liam told than that he had killed himself,
and asked them to try and stop the blood,
which was then flowing very freely. The
wounded man then walked TO the house
and lay on the piazza. where he suffered
terribly for about two hours before his
death came. His brother stated to me
that there had been no dispute at all, as
was stated by the writer at Odum. 1
send you these facts in justice to the rel
atves and friends of the parties in Screven
county, and in justice TO the brother who
is in very great trouble because of the
death of his brother, and because such
version of the affair has been circulated.

An unusual incident attending the arrival
of the Roanoke was the holding and

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Rainy Weather Proving Disastrous
Throughout the State.


Atlanta, Ca, Aug. SO.-The weekly crop
bulletin OF the weather department for
the week ending to-day gives the follow
ing summary Of the conditions in Georgia:
''The weather during the past week,
while not so rainy in some sections of the
state, has not been at all favorable to cot
ton, and has greatly retarded picking as
well as the saving of fodder Cotton con-
tinues to shed and rust badly, and there is
considerable complaint of the boil worm
and rot. Picking is becoming quite gen
eral and will be on the increase from now
until the crop is saved. A good deal of
corn has rotted in the fields. Fruit Is
rotting and melons and cantaloupes are
very inferior on account of too much rain.
Rice, cane and. in some sections, sweet
potatoes are doing we'll Sunshine and
dry weather are now needed to save crops.
The hay crop is very fine and large, hut
cannot be saved during the continued wet
weather.
