WOLF of Greene county, who was
given a seat in the house Of repre-
sentatives in place Of Il republican,
appears to have been overlooked in
the distribution Of clerks, which
gave rise to a clerical force row in
that body a short time ago.
A resolution to give him q clerk
was sent to the proper committee
she chairman of which reported for
the majority that no more clerks
were needed. A minority report
favored giving him Il clerk because
he was democrat and had been
missed in the first distribution. In
opposing the minority rep"rt Mr..
Welker SAID, IF the business of the
house needs more clerks, then | am
willing to vote for them, but the
idea of bestowlng a clerkShrp be-
cause a member rs Il democrat is
absurd" Mr.. Orchard the chair
man of the clerical force committee,
insisted that the house chad clerks
10 burn" and had no use for more
aud was sustained by the house.
1t appears from Mr. Orchards
statement that the house has already
bestowed too many clerkships and
if that is the case there is no reason
why more should be employed.
We are pleased to note that our
representative, Mr.. Welkcr, raises
his voice and casts his vote in the
interest of economy, and believe he
will make clean record.

WEATHER BAD IN SOUTH.
Heavy Rains Have Been Bnd for the

Heavy Rains Have Been Bad for the
Crops.
Washington. Aug. H.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly summary of crop con-
ditions is. as follows:
The weather conditions of the week
ending Aug. 26, 1901, have been gener-
ally favorable, except in the Middle and
South Atlantic and East Gulf states,
and Tennessee, where in nearly all
these sections heavy rains have dam
aged crops and interfered with work,
and in some districts washed lands and
caused foundations. Drought condi-
tions still prevail in portions of Iowa,
Oklahoma and Texas, in the last named
state becoming serious in localities.
Continued Improvement in the con-
dition of late corn is generally report
ed from the principal corn growing
states. In the states of the Ohio val
ley the prospects for late corn are
much improved; in some sections fields
previously reported beyond recovery
will be reclaimed, and the indications
are that the prospective yield will be
largely increased.
The weather of the week has been
generally unfavorable for cotton. Com
plants of shedding and rusting are

belt, except in Missouri and Oklahoma,
but in Oklahoma the crop has been
somewhat damaged by hot, dry wealth
err; some favorable reports are received
from Tennessee, Arkansas and Louisi-
ana. Cotton is backward and in poor
condition in Texas, although the late
crop has improved where rain fell; II
is opening quite rapidly in portions of
Georgia and Alabama. and picking is
in progress in those states as well as
in many localities in the western por-
ton of the cotton region.
Tobacco is in good condition in the
Ohio valley and Tennessee. and the
prospects for this crop are generally
favorable in these states as we'll as in
New York. Rains were unfavorable in

IMAGINATION TOO VIVID.
Physician Ascribes wOman's Death
to This Cause.


Atlanta: Aug. 27.-Dr. ]. j. Knott,
who attended Mrs. Harry Boyd, the
woman supposed to have died from n.y.
drophobia a few days ago, now states
that her death was caused purely by
imagination. Speaking of the case, he
said in part: THE dog that bit Mrs.
Boyd was, in my opinion, in good
health except for his injuries. over
a week before his attack on Mrs. Boyd,
the animal bit a negro woman and she
is now in good spirits and on account
of her placid nerves, will, in all proba-
bilities, withstand hydrophobia.
People read the newspaper and then
imagine that they have all sorts OF
things.
"A good many years ago, both hydro
phobia and appendicitis were very rare,
and now they are very common. Sui
cides are apt to set examples TO other
people, and those who are most impress
sionable by all these things are more
apt to be affected.
The nervous organization of a wo-
man is much more easily played upon
than that of man, and consequently
they are more subject to hydrophobia.
Psychology and physiology go hand
in hand, and the former is one of the
greatest branches of medicine"

er of the week was characterized by
temperature decidedly below the nor
NAL and a surplus of rainfall. In many
sections the entire week was rainy or
showery, and excessive amounts OF
rain, ranging from to inches, were
numerously reported. These conditions
gave the cotton crop a positive set
back and reports of rust, shedding, rot
ting of bolls and damage by boil worms
are general throughout the state.
Sunshine and warm weather are
crop. Picking is actively in progress in
several of the southern and middle
counties and a slight movement of the

Atlanta, Ga, Aug. 27.-At a meeting
of the Cotton Growers Protective AS
ISOLATION, held in the Kimball House,
here, to-day, it was decided that cot
ton men should hold their cotton until

members were present, as well as Har-
vie Jordon of Monticello, president of

pound was a fair price for the staple,
and a full meeting of the association
will be called within a few days, at
which all the cotton growers will be
asked to pledge themselves to hold
their cotton for that price. Every ef-
fort will be made to organize the cot
ton growers to the same end through

ATTACKED BY MASKED MOB.
Students at Athens Beaten in the
Woods.


Athens, Ga, Aug. 26.-Hunnaly Alb
bott, the 20-year-old son of Prof. D. @.
| Abbott, professor of mathematics at
the State Normal School. and Bayard
Starnes, a son of Prof. H. N. Starnes
of the Agriculture Department of the
University of Georgia, were waylaid
and beaten by a masked mob on Sat
urday night while returning from
visit to a young lady in the country.
The two young men were returning
to the city when a mob of twelve or
fifteen men ran from the woods and
attacked them. The boys began to
run, but were overtaken. At least
twenty shots were fired. They were
both gagged and blindfolded, and aft
er being severely thrashed were told
to run. Young Aabbot was so badly
beaten that he could not comply. His
trousers were taken off and he was
made to return to the city in that
plight. Starnes was a member of the
Freshman class last year at the Uni
versity. Abbott has recently moved
here from Macon. He has been in at
tendance at Emory College and win
enter the Senior class here next year.
It is not known what melted the
attack. The matter is being sifted.
Many believe that the attack was made
by Normal School students, while 9TH
ers think that IL was the work of the
anti-fresh club of the University,
which kidnapped young Johnson last
spring.
Jumped From the Car.
Tom Grove, a negro desperate. for
whom a large reward had been Of
fered, was caught near this city last
night by Deputy Sheriff Hancock. The
deputy. with his prisoner, was return
ing on the Northeastern train to Jack
son county, near Harmony Grove, the
negro, under a pretense of obtaining
a drink of water. went to the car
door and jumped out. AS soon as the
train could be stopped the sheriff gave
chase Grove was found in a swamp
about three miles distant. He had in
some way broken his handouts. The
sheriff had lost his pistol in the chase,
and had the negro known this it is
doubtful if he would have been so cas-
lily captured.
Returned From Germany.
Prof. John Morris, Professor of Eng
lish Language and Teutonic Philology,
at the university, has returned from
Germany and England, where he has
been perfecting himself in the branches
named. Prof. Morris says that he has
many suggestions to make to the mem
bers of the faculty at their next meet
ing, and says that his trip has been of
vast benefit to him.
