SOLICITOR RICHARDS REPLY.
Makes some Warm Statements in
Answering Carter's Counsel.

Washington, April 30.-Solicitor General
Richards to-day filed in the United States
Supreme Court a reply 10 the motion
made by the counsel OF ex-Capt Carter,
to strike from the files of the court as
Irrelevant and scandalous" the solicitor
generals brief IN opposition to Carter's
motion to be admitted TO bail, pending
the decision of his appeal in his habeas
corpus proceedings.
Mr.. Richards denies that he went out
side the record in his case, and asserts
that he always tries to observe strictly
the rules of the court requiring counsel
to contine himself to the facts of record
in the discussion of a case. He sets
forth that Carter's application for bail Is
supported by affidavits of physicians to
the effect that the prisoners health is
impaired and this, Mr., Richards says, is
not only entirely outside the record, but
is false.
Mr.. Richards also says that Carriers S
counsel went outside the record in the
appeal case in averring that Carter is an
innocent man and wants to be released
in order to be tried in the criminal case
in Georgia. He adds that to demonstrate
the falsity of this last statement it was
necessary for the solicitor general to state
Wndt L0e government mas UOle III ptpSc
cutting the indictment against Carter and
others in the Federal courts of Georgia.
THE facts stated" he continues, "ap-
pear in the documentary evidence pre-
sented by the government to the United
States Commissioner in New York upon
the hearing of the application for the re-
moval of Greene and the Gaynors to
Georgia for trial upon the criminal in
dctment. If counsel is unaware of this,
it is because he has not consulted with
the gentlemen who represented Carter on
the former hearings before this court,
and are now representing Carter's CO.
conspirator in the bitter fight they are
making against being removed to Geor-
gia.
Believing from the facts in his pos
session that Carter wants to get out
neither for his health nor in order to be
tried upon the criminal charge in Geor-
gia, the solicitor general has laid before
the court the facts which, in his opinion,
make clear the real object of this appli-
| cation. For this he has no apology to
make 1t is not his belief that convicted
criminal may assail the government he
| has defrauded and assert on oath what
| ever he pleases in support of his applca-
tion to be released from punishment,
while the representative Of the govern
ment before this court must stand mute
| and permit the charges and statements,
however reckless and false, to go un-
| challenged to the court.

of the stockholders of the American To-
bacco Company was held at the office of
the American Cigar Company in Jersey
City to-day. The object of the meeting
was to vote on the following proposed

ny's charter:
ITO indorse or otherwise guarantee a
principal or interest, or both of and on
any bonds debentures or promissory
notes that may be made, issued or utter
ed by any corporation in which this COM

suit from the adoption of the amend
ment.

south fseorgin Crop.

Amerlcus, Ga, April 20.-It is greatly
feared to-day that the entire cotton crop
Of this section of the state is probably

rious problem confronts them. The seed
supply is exhausted. which fact. with
the general scarcity of labor. renders re-
planting extremely difficult

age fifteen thousand bushels of mixed
cotton seed, will hold same at disposal
Of farmers. whose supply is exhausted.
Peaches are believed TO be killed like
wise, and dropping from the trees to-day.

COTTON AND WATERMEL LONS.
Fate of Georgia Crops Depends on
Last Nights weather.

Last Nights weather.
Albany. Ga. April 2o-on the authority
Of the most reliable growers of watermel-
ons and cauteloupes IN this section. your
correspondent makes the statement that
this April cold snap has damaged the
melon crop seriously Just how exten-
sive is the damage will be determined
by to-nisht's weather.
A man who is regarded IN this city and
section az an authority on melon mat
ters, said tonight: Last nights high
wind aud low temperature worked sad
injury to all watermelon and cantaloupe
vines. Even a light frost tonight would
kill outright every vine. and I am not
prepared to state that even now the dam
age is less than 50 per cent. Certain 1t
is that the cold snap has cost melon
growers many thousands of dollars"
The injury to young cotton may be
judged from the fact that parties in AL
bany. who are known to have cottonseed
on hand, have been flooded with rush or
ders to-day. The Georgia Cotton Oil
Company of Albany had orders ranging
from a bushel to carload of seed. Some
farmers report the destruction of cotton
plants just out of the ground and that
all paintings are more or less seriously
damaged.
The fate OF cotton and melons will be
decided tonight.
