GEORGIA CROPS NEED RAIN.
Estimated Corn and Cotton Will BE
OF 30 Per Cent.

Atlanta, July 25-Assistant Commission
er of Agriculture Wright said to-day
that both the corn and cotton crops
would be about 80 per cent short The
monthly bulletin issued by the agricul
tursl department viii give the status of
the crops in the various counties. He
said:
I'VE have not received our reports from
all the counties, but those which have
come are not at all favorable.
Il expect the corn and cotton crops
both will be about 80 per cent. short. The
seasons have been very unfavorabe and
the farmers have suffered. Cotton acre
age is about the same as last year, but
the seasons have been so bad that the
yield of all plants will be cut down con-
siderably. In some portions of the state
the crops are all right but these are few
There have been some local rains, but
very few places have been benefited. The
state needs rain now more than any
thing else, and good showers all over
Georgia would be a great boon to the
farmers"

COLLISION IN CHARLESTON.
Two Trolley Cars Come Together
with Serious Results


Charleston. s. C. July ga serious
head-end collision between two trolley cars
took place at Mt Pleasant shortly before
o'clock this morning. Motorman Hop
kins had his leg broken and Motorman
Coleman's head was badly bruised and cut.
The ends of both cars were wrecked and
a number of passengers were badly fright
ened and shaken up.
Pending a thorough investigation by the
Seashore roads officials il is impossible
to say who is to blame for the accident
The car coming towards the city was filled
with passengers and was making its regu-
lar trip, though not on schedule time The
special was empty and was running on
verbal orders from the master of trains
1t is fortunate that the cars were able
to slow down before they struck, or
number of people would surely have been
killed. The Seashore Company is making
vigorous investigation and officials heads
may fall as a consequence.

Struck The Vein.

w. R. Wilcox who, together
with j. B-.Crane, Ross and Bert
Kaler, made the rich copper dis
covery in Elk mountain, was in
town this week bringing very rich
specimens of ore which were taken
from the tunnel. They were in
Is # and had just struck the ore.
Mr.. Wilcox says they have three
stringers which all unite in one
vein and it is expected when they
come to the contact that they will
find a large body of ore. The ore
being taken out is very rich and,
as the formation on one side is
quartzite and lime on the other,
they are confident of striking a
large body of very rich ore.

Bright Sayings of Children.

Some one was threatening to
have a policeman put little Russell
Robinson in the lookup recently
when the little fellow retorted:
ats George Sisson's place to put
a man in the lookup. That man
migth run Nebra'ka, but he can't
run this town-its 'corporated."
Another small boy was sitting
in front of The Sun Office talking
to a little girl friend who had her
back turned to him. Evidently
the talk was not to her liking, for
she whirled suddenly with: "Oh,
shut your mouth" MY mouth
isn't Iun by shutters; it goes with
hot air and steam," was the quick
retort of the small boy, and then
there was a silence so deep that
it could almost be heard.
