HEAVY RAINS HURT CROPS.
Cotton and Fodder Badly Damage

Cotton and Fodder Badly Damaged.
Irwinville, Ga, Aug. 17.-One of the
heaviest rains of the year fell in r.
winville to-day. For nearly three
hours the water fell in torrents, creeks
are overlooking their banks, and the
damage to cotton crops will be great.
Thousands of pounds of fodder had
been pulled and was hanging on the
stalk to cure; most of it will be ruined.
An active prohibition campaign is
being waged in Irwin county at pres
emit. The anti-liquor forces are thor
oughly organized, and are working.
The sentiment of the county seems to
be largely in favor of open saloons, and
the liquor men are working also. Both
sides will very likely use plenty of
money later on. and the outlook is that
Irwin county will have an exceedingly
hot fall of it.
William Brantly, who killed DR.. J..
C. Russell, in this county Monday, is
still at large. A posse is in pursuit
of him, and hopes to capture him with
in the next day or two. Brantly is
thoroughly armed, and a desperate
man. 1t is feared that there will be
bloodshed before he is captured.

TRYING TO LEARN TO SWIM.
Her First Experience With the
Breakers on Tybee Island.

Her First Experience With the
Breakers on Tybee Island.
Editor of the Morning News: send
you an account of my first experience
in trying to learn to swim at Tybee:
liked it immensely, but 1 was timid.
Il never was afraid of anything.) lay
around among the "breakers" and
longed to go out and battle with the
proud waves. If dare, but 1 dasn't.
man who measured six feet six,
and fashioned after the bean-pole mod
ell, used all his powers of logic, which
were not much, to persuade me that it
was not only beneficial, but inele-
CANT to walloW in the mud. (Those
were not his exact words.) After he
left me, and the bowling surf prevented
me from calling him, I saw how he
lowered above the other bathers, and
was sorry l did not accept his gallant
offer to take me out. For 1 reasoned
that this man could wade the At
lantic ocean.
Just then I had another temptation
presented by another of our party. He
was the opposite in every respect of
the first. He must have weighed
something like three hundred, and as
L was QUILT somewhat on the same gem
erous proportions, 1 reasoned that we
could not possibly sink. My faith was,
afterward abundantly rewarded.
With this balloon-shaped man we
put boldly out to sea. He began at
once to tell me how very important it
was for women to learn to swim, and
how easy it was. BY the time the wa
ter was up to my shoulders / was all
enthusiasm to learn to swim. So took
my first lesson-and my last. He said
for me to throw my heels up and let
myself go. That was all. 1 did so.
And presto! 1 discovered that 1 could
not bring my heels down again. Every
time tried to call for help the hateful
spray filled my mouth. There stood my
companion, going gay little jumps,
when the surf came and treated me with
perfect indifference. 1 was desperate,
and opened my mouth to yell at the
top of my voice. He reached for me
and / was glad to see a look of real
terror on his face. "My!" he said, as
soon as he had set me on my feet. II
thought you were going to swallow the
whole thing" I told him it was not
very gentlemanly to tell a lady she
had a big mouth, but he was stupid
enough to think it was a fine joke.

wALTHOUR WINS AGAIN.
Gains Victory over Harry EIkes at
Manhattan Beach.

Manhattan Beach.
New York, Aug. 17.-Bobby Walthour
of Atlanta scored a signal victory over
Harry Fixes of Glens Falls, N. Y, on
the Manhattan Beach cycle track this
afternoon. They met in a one-hour
motor paced race, and Walthour won
by lap and a quarter, after travers-
ing thirty-six miles and two and three
quarters laps on the lap to mile track.
While the distance covered in the allot-
ted time is away behind the record,
the race in itself for more than half
the journey was the closest ever con-
tested on the seaside track. Walthour
having the pole, was slightly behind
as they got the word, but he forged to
the front before the first turn was
reached and soon made up gap of
ten yards, which he held to the end
of the first mile. At the conclusion of
the second mile Elkes got into the lead
and held 1t until the end of the nine
tenth, but the Glens Falls rider fell
back after he had changed his pacing
machine, after the conclusion of the
nineteenth mile. Walthour, without
change of pace, crept up steadily on
the leader and shot by his opponent
when the twentieth mile had been
reached. From this to the end of the
contest the issue was never in doubt.

HIS BODY CRUSHED IN TWO.
John Hardin Killed by Train Near
VaIdOsta.

Valdosta, Ga, Aug. fan east
bound freight train on the Plant Sys-
tenn ran over white man named John
Hardin this morning, near Ousley sta
ton, crushing the body in two. Hardin
was the keeper of the railroad bridge
at Little river and there are grounds
for believing he was a victim of foul
play. The engineer of the train saw
Hardin lying across the track as the
train approached and made every eff
fort to stop. This could not be done,
however, until the engine and three
cars had passed over the body. Life
was extinct when the body was reach
ed by the crew of the train.
A spike maui was found near the
body, creating the impression that he
might have been knocked down and
laid across the track. 1t is understood
that Hardin was in this city last night,
but there is nothing to show that he
was drinking, so the theory that he
was drunk is not accepted. The de-
ceased was an aged man and leaves a
wife and several children,

A BAND OF BURGLARS.
Operated Extensively Among Mer-

Eatonton, Ga, Aug. 17.-For some
time the merchants of this place have
been missing articles of merchandise,
but the disappearance Of which they
could not satisfactorily account. On
yesterday strong circumstantial evil
dence pointed to certain parties, all
colored, and the gang was arrested ana
locked up. Their names are Aaron
Jefferson, John Jefferson, viii Jeffer-
son, Mike jefferson. and Jake CLANCY.
Warrants were sworn out by j. P. Will
son, a merchant.
Others probably will be apprehended,
but their names are suppressed for the
present. A search by the officers
brought to light quantities of goods,
such as clothing, hats, shoes, suspen-
ders, cigars, and other stuff the most
of which has been identified by local
merchants. However. some of the
goods are still unclaimed, indicating
possibly, other fields Of operation.
Aaron operated small negro res

Anaconda, with 2:O1& Makes Pacing
Record for GeIdings.
New York, Aug. 1.-THE seaside
meeting at Brighton Beach closed to-
day, the feature race of the day being
the free-for-all for PAGERS. The field
had dwindled down to two starters,
Anaconda and Prince Alert, and before
the start both drivers consented that
the distance should be waived. The
first heat was won handily by Amazon
da in 2:051s, but there was fast going
from the start, when the PAGERS took
the word for the second heat. They
sailed around to the first quarter in
thirty seconds, and at the half they
were head and head In 100, and this
clip was maintained to the three-quar-
ters, which they flashed by in 1880.
Down the stretch they kept up this
marvellous gait until the distance flag
had been passed, where the Prince
slackened and Anaconda passed under
the wire in 2:61%, with the Prince q
couple of lengths behind. This is the
fastest race of the year, and is also
a champion record, as it is the greatest
time ever made in a race by gelding.
