Cotton in Gsorgia.

The Atlanta Constitution OF July
4th gave the following item concern,
ing the cotton crop in Georgia:
Conservative estimates rate the
growing cotton crop as damaged by the
excessive rains which prevailed about
the middle of June to the extent OF
from Is to 25 per cent.
"The heavy rainfall at that time
bsat down the young plant, and it is
reported from the middle section OF
Georgia that it has but slightly recov-
cred from the effects of the rains. At
an inter county cotton convention
held last week in Glascock county, it
was reported by growers from ten con-
tlguous counties that the crop was
poorer and the plant smaller than had
been noted Tor years at this season. In
this section of the state the plant has
turned red and yellow, and the stalk
appears to be smaller than it was be
fore the rains set in. The prospects
right now are that the yield will be
less per acre than it has been for years.
"In the southwestern portion of the
state the crop is reported to be heavily
in grass, cultivation of the growing
plant having been checked In the
early and middle part of the month by
excessive rains, and labor Is insufficient
to properly overcome this condition,
the sun and the warm night causing
the grass to grow more rapidly than
does the plant.
In other sections of the state, where
the rains we're unusually heavy and
destructive, 1t is estimated that not
more than half crop will be realized
this year, and the crop is reported to
be late one.

Dent Excuse Your Shortcomings
by Others Faults.

Washington Psst.
The following has an extra Interest
in that 1t comes from Cincinnati.
"Why Men Stay away From Church
as Told by Themselves" was the sub
ject OF an address delivered before q
meeting of ministers of the Presby
tearian church to-day by the Rev.
Charles E. Walker, OF Hartwell.
The Rev. Walker made an extensive
canvass of church absentees by mail
asking why suey stayed awav from ser
vices. Each OF those who answered
he said, gave one or more OF the fol-
lowing excuses:
l. Work six days and reserve Sun
day for recreation.
2. Church members too cold to
make him feel welcome.
3. Church members do not show a
willingness to pay debts.
4. Preachers sermons are ancient
ana undressing.
5. Too many hypocrites in the
church.
The dispatch does not give the sn.
swer made by the Rev. Walker to
these five explanations. AS non-ec-
clesiastlcal publication, however, the
Times ventures the following:
/. Why not try the recreation of a
service at church? There is more rest
in the right kind OF a church than
there is in the best front porch that
ever was built.
2. Why not try setting an example
to the cold church members? That's
what they seem to need most.
3 Why blame the church especial
Iy because some of it's members do not
pay their debts? The church is no
worse in that respect than any other
human institution.
4. Why not suggest subjects to the
preacher IL uc Is llkc tuO uloA WIZ
make newspapers he will welcome
them as so much stock in trade. Few
sermons Will be dry If you suggest the
text.
5. Why not swell the ranks of the
1t cannot possibly
be that this objection is only sub
terfuge.
These answers are not offered with
any thought of meeting all the objec-
tions that can be made to going to
church. They are designed to show
merely how tatuous a thing it Is to
excuse your own shortcomings by the
faults of other people.

Seattle, Wash--George Mitchell,
who recently shot and killed Franz
Edmunds Creffeld, a Holy Roller
Prophet" and was acquitted of the
charge of murder on a plea of in
sanity, was shot and killed by his
sister, Esther, in the Union Station.
Esther Mitchell Joined the Holy
Rollers" at Corvallis, Ore, and was
one Of the most ardent of CreheIdss
followers. When her brother pur-
sued the leader OF the Holy Roll

street, he declared that Creffeld had
deIuded and wronSed his sister.
Mitchell was acquitted Nearly
all the following day he spent search
ing for Esther in Seattle lodging

Poets may sing" he said, "of the

entitled to a tribute for her industry,
her usefulness and her productivity.
The American hen can produce wealth
equal to the capital stock of all the
banks of the New York Clearing
House in three months and have a
week to spare. In less Sthan sixty
days she al equal the total produc-
ton Of all the gold mines of the
United States. The United States
proudly boasts Of its enormous pro-
duction of pig iron by far the great
est of any country in the world, and
yet the American hen produces as
much in six months as all the iron
mines of the country produce in a
year. In one ear and ten months she
could pay OF the interest bearing debt

HANG1NGs AND COVERINGS.

Various causes have led to the
marked Improvement. of the taste
shown in the furniture, decorations
and hangings of our houses during the
last 90 years. but perhaps none have
been stronger or had greater re-
suits then the attitude that has been
taken by various large and infuen-
tial firms in this matter.
These firms, having in stock the
most exclusive designs from the mod
els, have been a great factor in the
education Of the public taste.
Approaching the fact that furniture
of bygOne ages-When the cabinet
makers art was one of very high or
der-has been much sought after and
used by nearly everyone for some
years, said great firms have had
stuffs, linens. chintzes. cretonnes and
so forth reproduced after the fine cid
originals. so that if a room should be
Tudor. ~Jacobean. Queen Anne, Chip
pendaIe, Adam or Sheraton in style,
the ~hangings, chair covers, ETC., can
be perfectly in harmony and of the
same date as that style.
At this time of year most Of US
are thinking Of renewing curtains,
chair and other furniture covers, bed
spreads. etc, and our great desire is
TO find something pretty and that will

coloring ard style. We may have
gone TO great expense to get a room
decorated and furnished according to

spoil everything by a hanging or COW
