and Brunswick astir last summer. The
story has a great deal of romance con-
nected with it, and will create a sensa-
ton when its final result is read here.
Miss Cassils was the petted daughter of
the venerable clergyman, and last summer
was a student of the Gainesville Semi
nary. She had met Williams at Cumber-
land Island and a mutuel love AFFAIR re-
suited About this time Williams ard a
party of friends were out in a boat that
did not get back TO the island on time,
and after a night spent in searching for
the supposed wreck by the guests of Ho-
tel Cumberland, the party returned to the
island and reported they had been blown
out to sea and kept there by strong winds
for thirty hours.
The thrilling story was wired from
Brunswick, and relatives of some of the
parties who lived in Atlanta came down
on the first train to look out for them
Subsequent developments were such that
Ven Cassils forbade Sidney the privilege
of his daughters company, and later she
was entered at the Gainesville
Seminary. The love affair. how
ever burned with Increasing vigor at the
enforced parting and Williams followed
the young lady to Gainesville. and one
day SCI the seminary girls and faculty

cent of his intentions and the faculty
president gave Williams to understand
that Miss Cassls would not go with him.
Subsequently, the faculty fully exonerated
Miss Cassils from all blame, and when
school closed she returned TO Brunswick,
and was the guest of her patents here,
and attracted many by her beauty and
sweetness of manner.
Ven Cassils refused, however, to con-
sent to Williams attentions to his daugh-
ter, and he did noJ make his appearance
in pub ic here. When the summer session
opened Ven Cassils and family went
North, and the last reports from them,
a few DAYS ago. were to the effect that
all were in the East. 1t Sc ms that Cupl--
however, had not ceased his play, and
the correspondence between Miss Cassils
and Williams must have kept up, as the
news now reaches Brunswick from Dali
las. Tex. that Miss Cassls and Mr. Will
liams were married, and were then on
their bridal tour.
The marriage was a quiet one, the bride
simrly donning dainty white dress. En-
tsring a carriage with her sweetheart and
his best man, they were driyet to the
minister's and married.

COTTON HAS BLACK ROOT.
The Outlook for Crops Is Distress
insIy Gloomy.

Atlanta, June 28-According to Commits
sioner of Agriculture o. B. Stevens,
"black root" destructive disease, has
been discovered in South Georgia and
is doing great damage. In speaking of
it he said, black root is a terrible thing
for cotton. Il always destroys it, and If
the reports / have been getting for the
last two days are true, the cotton crop
in this state has been greatly damaged,
and the loss will amount to thousands of
dollars.
1T is not the first time the disease has
appeared. l remember it in 1895, when l
had 800 acres of cotton planted. A portion
of my crop was affected, and Is acres
were completely destroyed. The disease Is
a peculiar ore, caused entirely by wet
weather and little sunshine. 1t first af-

which turns black. The plant takes on
sickly co,or and gradually dies. l regret
very much to hear of the disease appear
ing in Georgia, as it will make much
trouble for the farmer. II the weather
continues wei, ] have no doubt all the
crop will he affected.
so far the black root has been reported
only in South Georgia. There is no remedy
for it, but think If there should be
few days OF sunshine, a large portion of
the crop would be saved At present the
outlook for a crop is the most glolmly l
have ever known. The cotton Is no good,
the corn has lost all its color, being alb o.
lutely drowned out, and even The trees are
taking on second growth. The peach
crop has been injured more than was at
first thought. AT present it is impossible
