CONDITION OF CROPS.
Report Es Made by the weather
Bureau,

Bureau.
Washington, April 21.-The Weather
Bureaus weekly crop bulletin says
Very slow progress has been made
with corn planting throughout the
corn belt and the Middle and South
Atlantic states, owing to cold, wet
weather, while dry weather had i'm
paired stands in the Central and West
Gulf states.
The previously reported excellent
condition of winter wheat in the prin-
cIpal winter wheat states continues
unimpaired, excepting &c a slight ex-
tent in portions of the upper Ohio val
ley, where in some localities it is turn
ing yellow. Less favorable reports
are also received from the Middle and
South Atlantic states and portions of
Texas.
Rains in portions of the eastern dis
tricts and dry weather in the central
and western portions OF the cotton belt
have, to some extent, interfered with
cotton planting; this work has, how
ever, been vigorously pushed and has
made fair progress. Warmth is gen.
orally needed throughout the cotton
belt with general rains in the central
and western districts, and dry weather
in the eastern portion.
Tobacco plants are plentiful and
generally well grown, except in Ken
lucky, where they are late. Trans
planting continues in the Carolinas
and has begun in Florida.

REPORTS ON GEORGIA CROPS.

Atlanta, April 21.-The following is
the summary of the crop report for
the state, for the week ending yester-
day:
Low temperatures and brisk winds
prevailed during the greater portion
of the week. These conditions were
injurious TO early corn, cotton and
melons, the latter being given a de-
cided setback in some southern coun-
ties.
The latter. part of the week was sea-
sonable, and plowing and planting
were resumed. Cotton planting is well
under way in the middle nearing COM
pletion in a few southern counties, but
very backward in the northern Sec
ton, where much land is still unpre-
pared. Some early paintings are be-
ing cultivated in the SOUTH Higher
temperature and more sunshine are
needed for termination and growth.
Corn seeding has begun to limited
extent in the northern counties, and
is practically completed in the lower
half of the state. Much replanting is
being done in southern counties.
Wheat and oats are failing over
large areas, owing to rust, caused by
wet and cool weather
The outlook for peaches continues
generally discouraging, except in ia
vored localities in the extreme south,
and in some middle sections, where
partial crop is anticipated.

APPLICATION FOR BAIL

She Is in Jail at EatOntOn Charged

She IL in Jail at EatOntOn Charged
with Murder of Her Husband.
Eatonton, Ga, April 21.-The applica-
tion made by the counsel of Mrs. Lizzie
Griffin to have her released from Jail
on bail will be heard by Judge Gray
Lewis at Clinton one day this week
during the session of Jones county Su-
perior Court. Counsel for both state
and defendant are preparing to attend
the hearing and argue the petition.
Any attempt to divine the result of this
hearing would be only guess work.
While Judge Lewis has had the evil
dence under review several days, no
one knows the impression it may have
had on his mind, neither has the public
been informed as to the nature of the
argument Mrs. Grifins counsel will
make before his honor.
Mrs. Griffin and Sam Knowles are
still confined in the county jail Her
constant companion is her little g.
months-old baby. For q while lately
the elder child, a little boy, has been
allowed to visit his mother within the
prison walls, together with Miss Maud
D. Knowles, the sister of the prisoner.
The latter took the children out to
play about the Jail yard in the sun
shine and fresh air.
Sam Knowles is allowed to have his
banjo, and between this and the con-
stand demands of the children the two
prisoners manage to while away the
time more pleasantly than otherwise
would be possible. At almost any hour
during the day the notes of the banjo
and the voice of singing can be heard.
