SUMMARY OF CROP CONDITIONS.
Heavy Rains and Low Temperatures Most Ur
favorable Feature of the Week.
(By the Associated Press.

Washington, May 1.-The weekly sum-
mary of crop condition issued By the
Weather Bureau is as follows:
THE most unfavorable features of the
week ending April 30th were the eXc9s-
sive rains in thes Southern States and
the unseasonably low temperatures over
the Central and. Southern plateau ard
Pacific coast regions. A large part of
Texas including the region OF the 6reat
food of June, July, 1899 has received rom
two to more than seven inches q ram,
washing out and inundating crops 10
great extent over the central and south
ern portions of the State.
Eastward of the Mississippi River corn
planting and preparations have pro.
crossed rapidly. In Texas and portions OF
Mississippi, Arkansas and Alabama, much
replanting will be necessary as IT suit
of overfiows
Further improvement is generally re-
ported in the condition of winter wheat.
All reports Indicate that spring wheat IS
coming up finely and making excellent
growth
Except where damaged by excessive
rains in Texas, the general outlook ftr
oats is excellent The crop is heading n
the southern states, Wnlle some VI ne
early sown has been harvested in Flcl-
ida
In the Central and Eastern portions OF
the cotton belt cotton planting has pro-
crossed under more favorable conditions
than in the previous week, and good
stands are quite generally reported.
Planting is we'll advanced over the North
ern portion of the cotton belt, ami the
early planted is being cultivated over the
Southern portions. Great damage has
been caused by the heavy rains in Cen
trail and Southern Texas where much re-
planting vii be necessary. In many por-
tions of Texas the bulk of the crop is
yet to be planted, and seed are reported
scarce. Much replanting also remains to
be done in Arkansas.
"Transplanting of tobacco is in progress
as far north as North Carolina. An abun-
dant supply of vigorous plants is generally
reported. Fruit reports continue gener-
ally favorable

FREIGHT MUST Be
PROMPT SHIPPED
Else the Railroad is Liable
to Damages.
ALSO A HEAVY PENALTY
An Important Case Decided by the
Supreme Court.
SAME RULE HOLDS IN CASE OF TELEGRAMS
Only the Owner of the Property Can Sue For
Damages, But the Penalty May be Sued
For by Anyone. The Law is
Well Established.

A decision was handed down by the Su-
preme court yesterday that will probably
play an important part in the settlement
of the strike now on the Southern Rail
way.
Under it the railroad certainly can no
longer say 1.-The public be d-n' and de-
cline to open its offices for the reception
or delivery of freight, nor can it decline
to transmit or deliver kilograms when
offered.
To do either of these things will sub
ject the road to penalty and damages.
The decision above referred to is that
of State VS.. Carter, written by Judge
Douglas.
In this it is held that under section
1867 of The Code railroad company is
liable to penalty of $25 a day for every
day over five days that it delays in the
shipment of any article of freight offered.
In the Carter decision thirty head of
cattle were offered for shipment and for
delay over FIVE days in shipping them
the plaintiff RECEIVERS $3.50 for each day
each head of cattle being counted as an
article.
This decision follows a number of prece-
dents heretofore established. One Well
known case is that of MCGOWAN VS.. Rail-
road from Goldsboro, decided in 1886. In
that the sum of $2.S75 was collected from
the railroad for delay in shipment of a
few bags of rice.
1t is also fact worthy of note in
this connection that the plaintiff in the
MCGOWAN case was represented by the
present chief justice, Faircloth.
The penalty in these suits goes not
necessarily to the owner of the article Of
fered for shipment, but may be recovered
by any person who may choose to sue for
it.
In case of a telegram not promptly sent
or delivered, the sender or receiver may
sue for damages.
1t can readily be seen what an impor-
tant bearing this decision must have on
the strike which has closed up the offices
of the Southern to such an extent that
the office of the Corporation Commission
is being flooded with complaints and
prayers for relief

The storm burst at o'clock when
the convention of the Fourth Con-
gressional district met in the parlor
at the Park Hotel
In this convention the negro UNI
burdened his heart. He declared in
bold. bald words that he didn't like
the way in which he had been treat

the ticket when it was nominated and
he had a right to say something
about who should be on that ticket
