SMALLER CROPS OF STAPLES.
COTTON AND CORN IN MIDDLE
GEORGIA HURT BY DROUGHT.

Mr.. Otis Ashmore Says the Crops VIII
Not Exceed This Year IA Per Cent.
of the Maximum-s4 Per Cent. Was
Reached Last Year-Mr. Ashmore
Has Just Returned From His Old
Home I'm Macon County, Where He
Enjoyed Exceptional Facilities for
Estimating the Extent of the
CrOps-Much of the Cotton Has Al
ready Been Picked.
THE crops of cotton and corn in Mid
die Georgia" said Mr. Otis Ashmore yes
friday, will not be as heavy as those
produced iast year. Until very recently
there has been little or no rain in that
section, and the continued dry weather
has resulted in very considerable de-
crease in the amount of the proba bic
yield of the two staples of production"
Mr.. Ashmore returned on Sunday from
his Old home in Macon county, which he
is accustomed to revisit at about this sea-
son of every year. On his way to and
from Macon county, he passes through
the section, the crops of which he has
made it his practice to investigate, and
he is thrown during his stay in his old
home into close contact with the farmers
OF the neighborhood. Both from observa-
zion, therefore and from the opinions of
those well qualified to form them, Mr..
Ashmore is enabled to estimate very close
ly the probable amount of the crops.
What I saw and heard while / was in
Middle Georgia. Mr.. Ashmere said
leads me to coincide with the views ex-
pressed in recent bulletin of the state
department of agriculture, that the crops
would amount to about "A per cent of the
maximum. Last year the crops were said
to have reached in amount 81 per cent
or the maximum. so that the decrease of
this year is very mate rial indeed
1t is due to the lack of rain. Forced
to maturity by the continued heat, cot
ton has already opened to a very large
extent Some of the fields were white and
from some others the staple had already
been picked, wheP l saw them. In this
stage of maturity the recent rains cannot
be expected to advantage the crops, but
where they are less matured the rains
may perhaps help them greatly and in
some instances materially increase the
yield.
However" Mr.. Ashmore continued
the crops are not failures by any means
and the price which cotton is now bring
leg in the market serves doubtless to con-
sole the farmers for some decrease in
amount. Even with the amount of cotton
they are likely to sell this year, the
financial result. considering the price,
ought 10 be satisfactory

STRUCK HIS WIFE THREE TIMES.
Marital InfeIicities eliminated in
Assault on the street.

Considerable excitement was caused in
the neighborhood of Broughton and Bar
nard streets last night by the rapid de-
scent of staircase made by a woman.
who was followed by man making equal
ly quick time. He caught the woman a
few yards away and before he could be
prevented had struck her in the face. The
parties were said to be man and wife and
employed at one of the local music halls.
1t is understood that the scene on the
street was but the termination of a con-
nubial quarrel that had taken place up
stairs, whence the wife had fed from the
wrath to come. The husband seemed to
consider the personal chastisement of his
wife amply within the marital rights and
for wonder none of the men who wit
messed his brutality undertook to disa buse
his mind of this impression

SANITARY INSPECTORS WORK.
Health officer Drummer Says No Com
pInint Has Been Made TO Him.

pInint Has Been Made TO Him.
Health officer Drummer was asked yes
terday about the complaint of citizen
made through the Morning News, that the
garbage wagon had moi, been at his house
since last Friday, and that a sanitary
Inspector had been on his premises but
once in year.
DR.. Drummer replied that no such com
plant had been made to the health office,
and without any knowledge of the local
ity complained of. he could say nothing.
The collection of garbage is under the
director of public works control. As
10 the sanitary inspectors, the health Off
Ger said that any complaint against them,
with the proper information, will be in
vestiga ted.
Chief Inspector Melvin, when notified
of the name and residence of the COM
plainant through the Morning News, said
that the citizen must have been mistaken,
as he himself had seen an inspector on
the premises, and he was satisfied that
it was not the only time during the year
that the place had been inspected.
The fact that the inspectors are not
seen by members of families on their
rounds of inspection, is no evidence that

1t is probably generally believed that
the collection of garbage is controlled by
the health department. Such, however,
is not the case. the scavenger department
being under the department. of public

DIR. TRAIN Or SAVANNAH.
His Testimony Played an Important
Part in Scharn Murder Case.


Many Savannahians who have followed
the story of the yet unsoved mystery sur
rounding the murder of the New York
shop girl, Katie Scharn, have,~not con-
nected DR.. Train, the young Bellevue sur
eeon, who answered the ambulance call
and whose expert testimony has played
an important part in the police and coro-
ner's Investigations, with DIR. John X.
Train of Savannah.
DR.. Train is son of

for several hours before, the whereabouts
of Fred Scharn, the murdered girls
brother, had been fully accounted for. thus
relieving him of any connection with the
murder.

The average daily excess OF TEN.

Eve to eight degrees. The drouth
was quite effeetually broken by re-
freshing showers, fairly well dis
tributed, on the 18th and 18TH, which
viii be very beneficial to late corn
and unmatured crops. The hot wea-
Their eaused some damage to pastures,
potatoes and late corn planted on
sandy or thin soil; but the great bulk
OF the corn crop of this state, which
is planted on rich and well drained
lands, has been greatly benefited by
this period OF ripening weather, fol-
lowing as it did the unusually heavy
rains Of July.
Reports from all sections indicate
that the bulk of the corn crop is now
well advanced toward maturity, and
with seasonable weather the early
planted portion will be safe from
harm by frost from the LIST to the 10th
of September. Practically the whole
crop will be in condition TO with
stand anything short of hard freez-
ing weather by September 18th to
10th. Much of it will be in condition
to cut by September let.
Reports are not encouraging az to
the apple crop in the southern Sec
