CROPS MUCH DAMAGED.
Around Eatonton Excessive Rains
Bring Pests.

Eatonton, Ga, Aug. 31.-Reports
from every portion of the county tell
of much damage to the growing cotton
on account of excessive rains. Various
pests are reported as preying upon the
plant with more or less serious re-
suits.
Among them can be mentioned rust,
rot. boil worm, and the disease just
named by the State chronological
Department, anthracnose. At present
there seems to be but little inclination
on the part of the rains to hold up,
and If they continue for many days
more there is no telling to what extent
the crop will be damaged
The recently discovered pest, an
thracnose, is absolutely new to the av-
erage citizen and is looked upon with
suspicion and closely watched. Fortu-
nately it is not very prevalent fin this
county so far, but the localities report
ing it seem to be badly affected.
If the rains cease and the pests be.
come no more malignant, and the fall
is favorable, a good crop Of cotton may
be expected in this county. The corn
crop is almost failure.

RICH FATHER OBJECTS.
Doesn't Want NObleman TO Wed His
Pretty Daughter.
From the New York Journal.

From the New York Journal.
Cincinnati, Aug. 29.-The society Of
Hartwell a suburb. is lionizing sup
posed nobleman. He is Edward Drex-
ell Castleton of Washington c. H., who
prefixes Sir" to his name. claiming
to have been knighted by the late
Queen Victoria. He also says he is a
relative of Miss Helen Gould and OF
the Drexels of Philadelphia.
Castleton has lived in bachelor ele-
gance in Mr.. Bert Williamson's home,
which he rented furnished for the
month of July, and he has said he
would return to the village in rev
weeks. His object has been to win in
marriage the hand OF popular Hart
well BELLE whose father Is a wealtny
Cincinnati merchant. For some time
he has been seeking her, but parental
objections have prevailed, and he Is
still only her sutton. Their engage
ment has been rumored, and some
have even circulated the report OF a
secret marriage, but the girls family
stoutly deny these, and say that his
lordship is not a welcome visitor at
their house.
Castleton has had two matrimonial
ventures. He first married MISS Gola-
berry a belle of Washington G. II.
They were divorced. Afterward he
married Miss Oakalla Hanna of Chi
cago. The wedding took place at st.
Paups Protestant Cathedral, in Gin
cinnau. The hour was set for in the
Afternoon. The expectant bride awaited
him at the Grand Hotel. After some
delay he went to Miss Hanna with a
tale of a wrecked train, and hurried
off for the license and ring. Then the
little bridal party drove through the
rain and storm to the church and were
made one. He took his bride to an
humble home at Washington G. H.,
and there she learned. to her dismay,
that there was no foundation for the
fabulous tales of his wealth. He also
learned that his idealized heiress was
far from rich. The honeymoon lasted
but two weeks, and they separated. A
sensational divorce suit followed.
Ten years ago Mr.. Castleton dropped
into Washington c. II. like a meteor
He once Travelled with a circus, and at
present is managing theatrical
troupe.
In Hartwell he has been fiourishing

money like a prince, while the young
ladies Of the suburb smile on him

A year ago Sir" Edward was re-
ported engaged to the daughter of a
Cleveland capitalist but her father

LARGE CROP NOT LIKELY.
New Orleans Expert Says Indicatio
Arc Less Favorable Than n Month

New Orleans Expert Says Indica tons
Arc Less Favorable Than n Month
Ago.
New Orleans, Aug. S1.-In connection
with it's regular review of the move
ment and conditions in the cotton trade
the New Orleans Index tomorrow will
say concerning the crop of the COM
mercial year just opening:
The new crop is commencing to
move in the Western districts, and first
bales have been numerous in all sec
tions. The prospects of the crop are,
upon the whole, less favorable to a
large yield than was generally accept
ed a month ago. Some improvement
in condition was made during the first
few days of August but latterly com.
plants of damage by continued drought
in Central and North Central Texas
have been frequent. In view of the
facts shown in the rain table, compiled
from government records, it may be
questioned whether these complaints
are, in all cases, we'll founded. That
some points have suffered is plain, but
the moisture recorded, while not heavy,
has been too generally distributed to
make an absolute failure probable.
In the East the complaint has been
the reverse cause. Too much rain,
causing rust, and shedding, reducing, it
is said, a previously fair prospect to a
very Indifferent promise. The section
tributary to New Orleans has apparent
ly Jared better than other portions OF
the belt. Its crop is in good condi-
ton"

WILKES COUNTY SUFFERS; TOO.
Cotton Crop Likely to Be Reduced
20 Per Cent.

Washington, Ga, Aug. Silt has
been raining continually in Wilkes for
the past four weeks and reports from
different sections of the country are
to the effect that the crop has been in
jured fully twenty per cent.
While cotton has suffered much in
jury from the heavy precipitation great
damage has been caused by boil worms
and other insects. A prominent farmer
of the country informed the Morning
News correspondent to-day that he
would lose twenty of twenty five bales
as a result of the damage wrought by
these ravaging pests. Twenty-Five
thousand bales is a conservative esti-
mate of the probable yield in Wilkes
county though this will be reduced if
the unfavorable conditions of the past
few weeks continue much longer. Corn
has also suffered much from the wet
weather, though the stand in many sec
tons of the county is very good. If
farmers will be in better condition
the crop is gathered Wilkes county
the weather is favorable from now until
than they have been in years.
Washington public schools will open
next Monday and the prospect was
never brighter for a successful year.
