THE SHORT CORN CROP.

Albany Herald: 1t seems practical
" certain. as far as can be judged
ct this stage. that the cotton crop of
1902 will be one of the best made by
the farmers of this section in several
years. It is a matter Of serious con-
Germ. however, that the yield of corn
has been small, this crop proving one
of the most unsatisfactory ever pro-
duced in Southwest Georgia. An oc-
casional field in which the stalks are
tall the foliage luxuriant and the
fruitage abundant is rare sight.
Many farmers have planted for a late
crop which gives promise of a better
yield AT best. however, corn in South
west Georgia will not be any too plen-
tIful during the coming fall and win
ter. and we will have to buy from the
West. where, fortunately. a phenome-
nally large crop has been made. Con-
ditions in this section this year serve
tc empha size the tremendous import
ance of planting for abundant food
crops. Overproduction OF cotton is not
an uncommon misfortune. but there is
no danger of the Southern farmer rails
ing more corn. oats. peas, potatoes
and hay than he can find a market
for, provided his crops are larger than
he can consume on his own farm.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE market to-
day was fractionally lower in the
dealings as a result of hesitation de-
veloped among, traders by adverse
features of the bank statement. The
market, however, developed no weak
ness in the morning hours. and in the
early afternoon there were several
spiritd movements including an adj
vance in ST. Louis and Southwestern
preferred of nearly per cent. Colo
RADIO Southern was especially strong
on anticipation of the increase in pre-
ferred dividend which was announced
late in the day. Norfolk was strong
and active on persistent rumors that
the dividend was likely to be increased.
Cincinnati and Ohio was higher. ap-
parently in sympathy. Frisco issues
were strong and there were sharp ad-
vances Gin Terre- Haute and S. o. pre-
ferred. In the industrial list, the
strong features We're Ice preferred.
Copper and c. F. l. Twin City and
Detroit Union Railway were bullish
features of the traction group. In the
afternoon speculation was somewhat
distributed by an advance in call mon
ey rate to 4 per cent. A general selling
movement set in, which in many in
stances caused setbacks of one to two
per cent Hooking Valley lost

Rock Island was weak from
the start and lost over per

Washington. Aug. 1O.-The bureau of
insular affairs of the War Department
has prepared a statement showing
what the United States accomplished
during the occupation Of Cuba from
the time the military government was
established July IS. 1898. until May

At the close of hostilities in Cuba
it is stated the country was in a state
of devastation and ruin, both as to its
political organiza ton as we'll as it's in
dustrial condition. Without precedent

previous experience in state affairs,
the officers of the United States army
at once undertook to set up a form Of
government which would provide suf-
fcient revenues for the immediate
needs. and which might be developed
into stable and lasting system.
Sixteen custom houses were estab-
lished. Postofiices were opened
throughout the island and native post
masters were appointed. More than
800 p0stohices were established.
Thousands Of brood cattle and horses
were purchased and sold 10 the natives

There was constructed a telegraph

the construction and repair of bridges,

inha bitants. AS a sanitary measure.
the streets of many of the cities were
paved, and extensive systems of sew

The harbors of the island were
greatly improved; an admirable Sys-

docks were repaired and constructed,
and regulations conforming to those
in vogue in this country governing the
harbors OF the island were established.

That the administration Of the de-
partment of sanitation was judicious
and thorough in its results. is apparent
in the large decrease of the death rate
in the island since modern sanitary
measures have prevailed. The death
rate prior to this time had been as
high as so and 90 in the thousand, but
decreased to less than % in 1000.
The marine quarantine conducted by
