CROP CONDITIONS GOOD.
February Report Shows Winter Wheat
Outlook Promising.


The crop report for February says,
with the excessive precipitation and low
average temperature in the Southern
States the month has not been favora-
BILE for farming operations in that sec
ton, but with lighter precipitation and
only slightly deficient temperature the
Ohio and upper Mississippi valleys ex-
perienced more favorable conditions. In
California the first part of the month
was abnormally cold, but the latter part
was more favorable.
Winter wheat was well protected, with
snow covering during the severe wealth
er from the 18th to the 10Th, and the
reports at the close of the month indi-
cate that the crop is in satisfactory con-
dition. In portions of Missouri, Illinois,
Indiana and Kentucky, however, the
crop has sustained some injury from al
ternate freezing and thawing, while low
lands have suffered 10 some extent from
oyerdows in the lowel Ohio valley.

SHRIEKED IN COURT.
Negro Woman Screamed When Re-
cOrder Sentenced Her.


At yesterdays session of Police
Court Addie Holmes, a negro woman
who had been arrested on the East
Side by Patrolman Sims a short while
before, created considerable excite
ment by shrieking and screaming.
The woman was found with a sailor
in tow and was very much under the
influence of liquor. Besides charging
her with drunkenness the uniformed
man testified that in his opinion she
is a vagrant. When the Recorder an
nounced sentence of thirty days on
the chaingang for drunkenness, and
that she would also have to face
Judge Norwood on a charge of va
grancy, she caused a small-sized SEN
satlon by her conduct An additional
thirty days was given her.
In the opinion of the Recorder the
evidence against NJ. ]. Joyce and H. S.
Lowry, negroes charged by Detective
Bostick and Patrolman r. B. Davis
with the theft of two cedar trees, was
weak, and the prisoners were dis
charged. The officers traced clay from
the roots of the trees from the house
On Tattnall street to the one occupied
by the negroes. The clay was identi-
ned by the prosecutor, but the Re-
corder didn't consider the Foxy Quill
Ter evidence sufficiently strong to war
rant him in remanding the defendants
Toney Albright, a. negro arrested by
Patrolman Shea for drunkenness, and
for being suspicious character, was
remanded for trial in the City Court
for the theft of sailed beef from a yes
sci in port.
Lizzie benson, a negro woman well
known in police circles, charged by
Patrolman Mccarthy with being
drunk and disorderly, was sentenced
to serve thirty days on the chain
gang.
John Farribee, the negro driver who
ran over young Michael Fahey, and
broke his leg, was dismissed. 1t was
shown from the evidence that the boy
ran under the horse driven by the
negro, and that Farribee was in no
manner to blame for the accident

HIGH WINDS PREDICTED.
Southwest Storm Warning Signals
Ordered Up.

Unless advices received at the
Weather Bureau last night are wrong
Savannah will have another touch of
ugly weather to-day. A southwest
storm warning ordered up at 10 O'Clock
last night and high winds are to be ex-
pected.
1t is not thought that the velocity
of the wind will be dangerous, and it is
hardly probable that Sundays weather
will be repeated. The storm signals
were ordered up from Washington, and
are displayed along the Gulf and At
lantic coasts from Mobile to Baltimore.
The disturbance is over Western
Ontario, moving eastward. The pre-
dictions are that the wind will increase
in force, becoming high this morning.
Still it is not thought that the storm
will be severe.

no further steps, and it is probable
that the matter will rest where it is
until the first of next month, when
