Peruvians having failed to heed the
ultimatum sent by Brazil that her
soldiers evacuate the territory Of Acre

AND CROP REPORT.
Favorable Conditions Follow Fair
Rains Throughout the State.

The week ending s a. m., May 9th,
had a mean temperature OF 50 degrees,
which is slightly less than one degree
below normal, due to cool weather dur
ing the first and warm during the last
portion. There were no exceptionally
low minima, nor high naxima, the ex-
treme range having been between so
and 81. The winds were easterly dur
ing the opening days and shifted to
southerly during the last Of the week.
There Was more than the normal
amount of cloudiness, and the def
cheney in sunshine was harmful to rice
and cotton.
The rainfall was below normal and
ranged from a mere trace to over an
inch and half. The western and the
second tier from the coast Of eastern
counties had the largest amounts and
the north central cneS the smallest.
The showers were local in character
and largely insufficient, but it is safe
to assume that in one-third Of the
State the drought has been relieved,
OF nearly so, although more rain would
prove beneficial in all sections. Hail
occurred at few placvs, doing no
damage.
The week was favorable for the
rapid progress Of farmwork, and all
staple crops have been planted with
the exception OF bottom lands and late
rice. AS rule, cultivation has kept
pace with the growth OF crops, and
fields are free from grass and weeds.
Cut worms, bud worms and birds con-
tinue to damage stands OF corn on bot
toms, and Colorado beetles have ap-
peared on white patatoes.
There is a general improvement
noted in corn, where showers occurred,
in stands, growth and color, but where
the rainfall was light, or where none
fell, it remains small and yellow. Most
Of it has received it's first cultivation
and some it's second. Considerable re-
planting is being done.
Cotton is coming up better, and
stands have improved materially dur
ing the last week, and, generally, the
plants have a healthier look, but on
red and clay lands termination and
growth continue slow and unsatisfac.
tory. Early cotton is being replanteo
in many sections, while later plant
ings are coming up to good stands on
sandy lands. Some has received its
first cultivation and has been chopped
in the Southern counties. Sea-island
cotton was greatly benefited By the
showers and humid, warm weather.
Tobacco transplarting is finished,
but growth has been slow. The acre
age is only from one fifth to one-half
that cf last year.
Oats are poor, and are heading low
in all sections, except on moist bot
toms.
Wheat is more promising, and al
though low is heading well and is in
bloom.
White potatoes are poor in the coast
districts and promising in the interior
Shipments have begun from the for
rne1 sections; also Of beans.
Truck is late except strawberries,
that are bearing exceptionally well.
Excessive dropping cf peaches is
noted in all save the ridge" sections
where from three-fourthS to a full
crop is indicated.
Early peaches and plums are ripen-
ing along the coast.
Apples and cherries are promising
in the western counties.
Sweet potato sprouts are scarce.
Minor crops are in a normal condl-
tion.

tor.
No two men ever give exactly the
same account Of a fight, but persons
who have been coming to Atlanta
from Marietta in the last day or two,
give interesting details OF the after
math Of the judgeship race. Feeling
is intensely bitter with no prospect
that it will soften much.
TIE JUDGE AND TIE BRIC6.
The Gcber-Hendrix trouble is des-
cribed as follows: Several days ago
man named Hendrix, who lives at
Ball Ground, was passing through
Marietta on his way home from
Atlanta. He knew contractor named
Black, who was building some brick
houses for Judge Gober. and called by
to see his friend. Soon afterward,
Judge Gober came up and took Hend-
rix severely to task for having stated
that Gober had settled with bis en-
ployes on a basis Of thirty three and a
third cents on the dollar. 1t is said
Judge Gober began:
Hendrix, you have done me dirt" "
Judge Gober, I don't understand
you," said Hendrix.
You circulated the report during
the judyeship race, that l had paid
ny hands in Cherokee thirty-three
and a third cents on the dollar"
Il didn't do it,, said Hendrix, l
made this statement, that you were
president of the Marble company that
failed and that the Marble company
settled with its hands at thirty-three
and third cents on the dollar. Is
not that true?
,''I had no interest in the business, .
said the judge. I was merely presi-
dent, and l want to tell you that
wien you circulated the report that !
had settled with my hands at thirty
three and a third cents on the dollar,
you circulated lie."
It was at this point that the judge
seized brick and prepared for war.
Black interferred and stopped the
row.
THE SENATOR AND THE KNIFE.
United States Senator Steve Clay
was in a barber-shop, in Marietta, a
few days ago, and when the election
came up for discussion, the senator
said:
The man who drew the affidavit
that George Philips signed is a."
The rest OF the remark was in re-
gard to the ancestry Of the person re-
ferred to. The affidavit had charged
Senator Clay with some improper use
Of the coin Of the realm as a campaign
argument.
In another chair was Fred Morris, a
cousin Of Speaker Morris, and it was
be who had procured the affidavit. He
rose up instantly with a ashining blade
in his grasp, which some say was a
knife and others say was razor. TO
turn a barber shop into rough house
is no joke, and when Morris started
for the senator tue bystanders were
prompt to pile in between and prevent
bloodshed. Later in the day the
trouble was adjusted.
It is said there is movement to
bring the Blue Ridge row before the
state convention.
A friend of Judge Gober said to The
Chronicle correspondent Tuesday.
Judge Gooer conducted a clean
cam paign, and great injustice has
been done him by failure to try the
case"
Yet it was Judge Gober's lawyer
who argued that the committee had
no right to 60 behind the returns.

incident Of the coin to the control.
There are two Of them, I said. Now,
George can you tell me which OF the
Two is the right one?' Without hesita-
tion be answered: The black one.' l
was certain that the lighter one was
the correct coin, as that was the one
We had used in the dictionary. I asked
him whether be was sure it was the
black one. His reply was instant:
Certainly -
The control further explained that
the coin should go to some place in
Connecticut and said that Dr.. Funk
had received it from friend Of DR..
Beecher, who had been connected with
q large wonen'S school on Brooklyn
Heights.
''This information about the owner
Of the Widows Mite " says DR..
Funk, was all correct as far as it
went, for the gentleman from whom
I got it was Prof. Charles E. West,
who had been for years at the head OF
a ladies' seminary on Brooklyn
Heights. But the curious thing was
that so much could be told Of the de-
tails and yet the name Of the owner
CT the coin could not be given, nor
where it should be sent"
All the answer DR.. Funk could get
to questions on these two points was
For some reason Mr.. Beacher does
not tell
It turned out that the control was
right in designating the larger and
darker coin as the genuine Widows
Mite" aud that a mistake bad been
made in the dictionary.
To the statement Of the incident CT
"The Widows Mite" Dr.. Funk adds
this:

CUSTOMS OF AFRICAN TRIBE.
Traveller Tells C. People Low in the
Scale of Humanity.

Herr Eberhard Won Schkopp. who
has explored the interior of the Kan
eruns district in western Africa. gives
an interesting account of the native
tribe called the Bakoko. They are,
he believes, of Semitic origin, and.
having lived in the Kameruns district
only about 200 years. are called
strangers by other natives. They gov
ern by means Of council of elders"
whose duty it is to judge offenders
guilty or guiltless. If guiltless they
are set free; if guilty they are put
to death, this being the only form of
punishment known there.
According to the gravity of the
crime, the manner of execution varies.
and may be simple" or "complicat-
ed" Simple" execution means be-
ing thrown to the crocodiles. Com
plicated" execution consists OF being
fastened to tree and left to be eaten
by casual visitors, such as lions and
tigers, or being tortured until death
comes.
Cannibalism is practiced by the Ba-
kokos, not because they especially
care for the flavor of the meat, but
because they feel that by eating every
particle of an enemy they are subject
ing him to the greatest indignity con-
ceiYable.

EASY TO CATCH SNAKES.
But the Catcher Must Be Absolutely
Without Fear.

How do we catch live snakes?"
echoed the dealer in response to the
query. oh. it's easy enough when
you know how. In the first place, you
have to be absolutely fearless of
snakes. A person who is without fear
can handle even deadly reptiles with
out danger. Most snakes, you know.
attempt to escape when approached
by human being. That's where the
catcher gets his work in. He will
make detour and head off the fleeing
reptile. which then comes to a stop
and retreats in another direction. An
other detour again starts the snake on
a different course. and these tactics
are followed until the reptile comes
to a bewildered pause. Then the
catcher will take out his handker-
chief. This he waves at arms length
to attract the snakes attention, and
all the time he is edging up closer
until he is right over the snake. which
is concentrating all its attention en-
the tapping handkerchief. A quick
movement enables the catcher to
grasp the reptile back of the head.
and an expert will have 1t subdued and
under his control with a few gentle
strollings. Black snakes. bill snakes,
pine snakes and other less venomous
varieties are captured that way with
out difficulty. y."-Philadelphia Record.

Hats of Chenille.

Chenille finds considerable favor for
hats and shapes made entirely or par.
TALLY of chenille are on show in very
great variety. Some of the novelties
in this line are checkered with a
broad. simple design in clustered
beads. rather large cut jet beads and
also white and colored pearls being
used for the purpose. Others have
similar designs carried in small plum
age gummed to the foundation. In
the latter the effect is marked. for
whereas the beads stand out in relief
from the chenille ground. the plumage
forms what looks like an impressed
design. These chenille shapes need
little trimming, and are very effective.
They are of a moderate size.

Remedial Value of Light.

Prof. Finsen's death recalls curl
Gus fact about his discovery of the
remedial value of light. In one re-
spect it was a striking example of the
scientific return to superstitious
practice. His researches led to his
theoretical conclusion that red light
would reduce suffering in smallpox
and prevent permanent marking of
the skin. Experiment has confirmed
his theory. But the curious thing
is that medieval doctors prescribed
for smallpox and fever patients Sc
clusion in rooms hung with scarlet
cloths and in books little more than a
decade old this treatment is ridiculed
as an example of the quackery from
which modern medicine has delivered
mankind.
