6,C00 BUSHELS OF WHEAT.
Farmer Sol Barrett of Jones Coun-
ty Raises That nuch.

DR.. John Hardeman of Jones county
came in yesterday to see Mr.. Thee
Ellis, secretary of the Georgia Wheat
Growers Association. He reports the
yield of wheat fine on fertilized lands
in his section, averaging from twenty
to thirty bushels per acre. He says
the city man will bersurprised at the
large fields planted as a moneJ crop,
and not simply for home consumption
For instance, he says Mr.. Sam Evans
has leo acres that have made ten
bushels to the acre, which equals 1,Oh
bushels this season without fertilizers.
Mr.. Sol Barrett of Baldwin county
has 600 acres that will yield this sea-
son 6,0t bushels without fertilizers.
Both of these planters have smaller
tracts of fortified land that viii aver
age thirty bushels TO the acre.

COUITRY'S CROP CONDITION.
COTTON HAS SUFFERED Sc
RIOUSLY FROM RAINS.
Protracted Drought Throughout
the Wheat Region, and Portions
of Texas and New England.

The weekly summary of crop condi-
tions by the weather bureau at Wash
ington is as follows
The protracted drought over the
northern portion of the spring wheat
region continues, and rain is needed
in portions of New England and Texas
and generally throughout the Rocky
mountain districts. Abundant rains
have occurred in the Middle Atlantic
states, while excessively heavy pre-
cipitation has interrupted farm work
and caused damage to crops in the
South Atlantic and East Gulf states,
lower Ohio and central and lower Mis-
sissippi valleys. Corn needs cultlva-
ton in the East Gulf states. In the
Middle and South Atlantic states corn
has made decided advancement. but it
is needing rain in portions of Texas
and Louisiana.
Heavy rains in the central Missis-
sippi valley have ret"rded the harvest
ing of winter wheat.
Very unfavorable reports respecting
spring wheat continue from the north
ern portion of the spring wheat region
for lack of rain. Ia South Dakota a
general improvement is expected. Oats
generally continue promising.
In Arkansas ana eastward of the
Mississippi river, except in portions OF
the Carolinas, cotton has suffered Sc
riously in consequence of excessive
rains, lack of cultivation and lice. In
Texas continued dry weather, except
scattered showers, was exceptionally
favorable for cleaning the crop, which,
however. is of irregular size oyer the
southern portion of the state, and not
withstanding the favorable weather
for cultivation many fields are still
foul. Ia Louisiana the weather condi-
tions were very favorable for cultiva-
tiOn.
The week has been exceptionally ia
vorable for transplanting tobacco and
for that already set. Nearly all re
ports indicate a promising outlook, al
though the crop is badly in need of
cultivation in Tennessee.

FATALITIES FROM LIGHTNING.
Only About One Hundred People Are Killed
by II Annually.

At this time of the year when thun-
der showers are frequent nervous per-
sons suffer much from the dread of
lightning.
This apprehension is not felt only by
those who are easily affected by other
dangers, real or fancied. Many ANA n
who has charged "a battery, or stood
unterrifed before an assault in battle,
is alarmed when lightning flashes and
t under rolls. Still more women and
children are frightened whenever the
lightning begins to play and its de-
t)nation to roll.
Scientists endeavor comfort US by
telling us on the best authority that
there is little danger to life from light.
ming. The Electrical Review in its last
issue says; THE fact Of the matter
seems to be that lightning is very
nearly harmless. Somewhere about
one hundred people are killed by it
annually in the United STATES, out of a
population Of nearly eight million; more
are killed by the nails in their shoes
or by falling Of chimneys. The real
trouble seems II be that thousands up
on thousands of peopleare badly scared
several times every summer by the
lightning, or rather by the thunder
which accompanies it. Far be it from
us to shake the faith of any timorous
soul who believes the feather bed to be
a haven of safety during thunder
storm. The time-honOred rules about
sitting in drafts or near open windows
or standing under trees are we'll worth
observing, especially if they give the
individual any additional sense of Sc
curity and alleviate his mortal dread
and distress. We cannot see that any
of the discussion has proved that the
lightning rod has been of the least
use. At best this would be negative
proof were it possible to produce it.
AS it stands, however, rural districts
are the home of the lightning rod and
the place where lightning does nearly
ali its damage. We do not see many
lightning rods in cities, nor do we
hear much about the evil effects of
lightning in them"
The assurances which The Electrical
Review gives are probably based on
scientific principles and sustained by
but they will have little eff
feet upon those who feel uneasy when
a thunderstorm comes up. The fear OF
is perhaps as general as it
ever was, and no amount of reasoning
or scientific demonstration win drive
it away from the average human ne-
ing.

Frost by this time knew that il must

tears and protestations she loved young

fish was hooked, did not greatly exert
herself TO soothe or reassure him.
That he could ever use violence to one
so sweet and fragile as Nita she would
not believe for an instant Then the
nurse, still retained, heard bitter words
from the colonel as one morning she
came TO the door with Mrs. Frost's
breakfast, and while she paused, uncer-
tain about entering at such time, he
rushed angrily forth and nearly col

sears when the nurse finally entered,

And that she lived in terror was true,
some women were quick to see. Never
would she go anywhere, even along the
corridor, alone. If the colonel could
not come to luncheon she was served
in their rooms. If she had to go calling
or shopping it was in carriage and
always with some army woman whom
she could persuade to go with her.
One day, just before their intended
departure, she drove out paying part
ing calls. 1t was quite late when the
carriage drew up at the Market street
entrance, the nearest to their elevator.
The door boy sprang across the side
walk to open the carriage, and as she
stepped wearily out a tall young man,
erect and slender, dressed in dark
travelling stht, fairly confronted her,
raised his derby and said: You can
give me ten minutes now, Mrs. Frost.

Bowing her head she strove to dodge
by, but it was useless. Again he con
fronted her. Piteously she looked up
in his pale, stern face and clasped her
hands. "Oh, Rollin," she cried, give
me my letters. | dare not-see you.
Have mercy" and down again she
went in senseless heap upon the stone.
Col. and Mrs. Frost did not sail with the
Empress of India. Brain fever set in

be assembled there in sufficient force
to occupy the city, and that his clerks
