MAY GET NO CLEMENCY.
The PardOning Board DisapprOved
Sharpe's Petition.

Atlanta, Ca, Aug. 2I-The Pardoning
Board has refused to recommend clemen-
cy in the case of Herman Sharpe, the De-
Kalb county man, who killed his wife sew
eral months ago. An application for com
mutation of sentence was filed with the
Pardoning Board several days ago. and
yesterday morning Hooper Alexander, at
torney for Sharpe appeared before the
members OF the board and appealed to
them to commute the sentence from
death to life imprisonment
Sharpe did not claim to be insane or of
an unsound mind. but stated that he did
not intend to kill his wife. The papers
in the case stated that Sharpe's mother
in-laW was the only eye witness 10 the
killing, and that Sharpe was convicted
mainly on her testimony. An attack on
the character of the woman was made,
and the attorney stated that there were
many people who would not believe her
on her oath.
This was not sufficient evidence, how
ever, for the commission TO recommend
Communication, and the application was sent
10 Gov. Gambler disapproved. The Gov
ernor has come to no decision about the
matter and says that it is probable ne will
not determine what he will do until to-
morrow.
Sharpe will hang on next Wednesday,
Aug q. unless the Governor decides diff
ferently from the Pardoning Board.

Central Trust Company Again Rep

Atlanta, Aug. 24.-Judge Gambler an
nounced from the Superior Court bench

pany and the bondholders it sought to
protect, has no standing in his court, in
the suit filed recently by the company to
enjoin the condemnation of the Atlanta
Railway and Power Companys tracks of
Peachtree street by the Atlanta Rapid
Transit Company. He said the bonds were
amply secured and were in no danger
from the proposed condemnation.
After Judge Gambler made the announce
ment. attorney John B. Goodwin, for the
Atlanta Railway and Power Company,
filed a cross bill. praying for an order
that the street railway company's name
be stricken in the original bill from the
defendant side and placed alongside of the
plaintiff. the Central Trust Company. The
attorney stated to the court that in the
event the trust company had no power TO
raise the question Of equity in the court
his client did have the right and wished
to exercise il. Attorney Clifford Ander-
son had no objection to the bill, and Judge
Gambler granted the order

MONEY FROM CORPORATIONS.
Asked About the
Taxes in Arrears.

Taxes in Arrears.
Atlanta. Aug. 24-The tax collectors Of
Fulton. Chatham. Richmond and Floyd
counties have been asked by Controller
General Wright to let hims know imme-
diately the probable amount which viii
be collected from corporations, which are
affected by the recent decision of che Su-
preme Court.
1t is the desire of Mr.. Wright to get
the amount of money to be derived from
these sources, so that the tax rate Tor
next year can be fixed. None of the
counties have sent in any money so far,
except Fulton, and only q small amount
has been received from the tax collector
here. 1t is expected that large amount
of money will be sent in from Fulton,
Chatham and Richmond, and the amount
received Will have considerable to do with
lowering the tax rate.
It is believed now that the rate can be
lowered 20 s.. 20 on the thousand whether
any additional money is received or not.
ard if the corporation tax shows up wei,
it may be possible to make the rate still
lower.
Only three counties remain to be heard
from. Telfair, Lee and Barlow. These
are the only counties which have not
YET sent in the tax digests, but every
county will proba bly, have reported BY
tomorrow night.

DISTRESSING CROP REPORTS.
Terrible Effect of Hot and Dry Wea-
Their in the Columbia Region.


Columbia. S c., Aug. 4.-Humanity
where not penned up in great cities. may
endure twenty-five days without rain,
when the official government records
show that the lowest maximum recorded
during that time was 81 and the lowest
minimum Y. but the strain is great and
the loss to an agricultural country APP
proaches disaster.
The records referred to have been re-
corded here and are altogether unpre-
cedented. The strain on the people and
the damage to growing crops can be more
readily realized when il is stated that for
seventeen consecutive days the average
maximum temperature in the shade has
been 10l degrees, the lowest maximum be-
ing IS and the highest 106. And for six
consecutive days the record has been as
follows: lO2 1O2. 100 104. lO1. 102. The
highest mean temperature for twenty-four
hours has been 81, and the average mean
for all points in the state, including the
elevated districts. has been 81. All rec
ords from one day up have been broken.
Until this year only one day in August
in eighteen years recorded temperature
of 102.
The destruction to cotton has been great.
and is estimated all the way from 5000
to 10000 bales. The smallest figures
would represent q loss, a current prices
of S. 10000
Fire would sweep through many hay
fields. the grass is so dry. while late corn
has turned yellow and wilted. Truck gar
dens have persisted. Vegetables that
usually last till frost falls are already
dried up. The combined loss on other
crops is hardly less than on cotton. The
effect of the intense dry heat on cotton
is to stop the poisoning and to cause
haH-matured bolls to burst open. Fields
now have the appearance of those in
normal season at the end of September,
although the crop is two or three weeks
late. Many of the plants are dead and
leaves have fallen off many. There are
no blossoms and SO many unmatured bolis
are open that the fields are white.
General rains would prevent further
disaster, but could not repair damage
already done. There have been few

LEAVING THE COTTON FIELDS.
NEGROES PREFER TO WORK FOR
RAILROADS AND OPERATORS.

south Georgia Farmers and Others
Seem to Have Hard Time in store
in Securing LabOr-Wages OF 10
and 80 Cents "A Hundred Fnii to
Attract Pickers Farmers Have
Poured out Their Woes to Secre-
tarY of state Cook.
Atlanta. Aug. 24-According 90 num-
Der of letters recently received by Sec
rotary of State Cook, the farmers of South
Georgia are in a bad way for the want
of cotton picl;ers. Cotton is opening
rapidly. and few negroes can be found
who will agree TO pick il even at so cents
per hundred pounds.
Mr.. Cook says many people from Lee
county have been in Atlanta this week,
and they report the same state of affairs.
The cotton crop will be much shorter
than has been reported, unless labor can
be found to pick it, as the crop in South
Georgia has been damaged materially re-
Gently. The rust has spread over the big
cotton fields. and is causing many of the
bolls to drop of. The negroes do not
like to work in fields where the cotton
is not thick, and can scarcely be induced
40 do SO at any price.
Mr.. Cook said; LAS I said about two
months ago, all the negroes have left the
farms and gone 10 work for the railroads,
lumber camps and turpentine farms. There
they get better wages than the farmers
are able to pay and nothing will induce
them to return. They are pay
ing 20 and 50 cents per hun
1red pounds 10 cotton pckers, and
although the average negro can pick
from two to three hundred pounds OF cot
ton a day, they will not work"
The farmers in South Georgia are go
ing 10 have trouble this fell, and if the
cotton cannot be picked, there is sure 70
be a bigger shortage than will be caused
by the wea Their conditions.
South Georgia is not the only section
of Georgia thai is reporting a scarcity of
labor. but from all over the state comes
the news that the negroes have left the
farms and gone TO the cities 10 look for
work.

RAIN STORM PUTNAM.
But II Came Too Late to Save the
Cotton Crop.

nut IL came TOO Late TO save the
Cotton Crop.
Eatonton, Ca, Aug. 2L-The drought
was broken in this county by heavy rains
yesterday evening and last night. The
rain was accompanied by a terrific wind
and thunder storm and the streets of the
town were impossible in places by rea-
son Of broken limbs and fallen trees The
street workers are now busy hauling
away the fallen debris. The rain came at
an opportune time. but not before the
cotton crop was materially damaged It
is estimated that the crop was cut off
one-fourth in this county by the drought.
There are some, however. who realize
the tendency TO always overestimate the
damage to crops, and who believe that
the injury will not reach so high a per-
centage a one-fourth. Besides eping
the cotton crop, the rain was the saliva
ton OF the potato and pea crops.
The Putnam Rifles have rented COM
modious armory and will establish read
ing rooms, bath rooms and a gymnasium.
