Atlanta, September 8.-The advance
sheets oi the crop report for the month of
September, showing the areas planted, the
condition of growing crops the first of
September, and other matters relating to
agriculture in Georgia, were this morning
obtained from Commissioner Henderson
The report is as follows:
The condition and prospect of the cotton
crop, in the average for the state, shows
an improvement of 6 points since the first,
of August. The reports of correspondents
show' a very decided improvement in the
sections of north, middle and southeast
Georgia, with but little change in south
west and east Georgia.
Among the casualities affecting tlie crop
rust has been mentioned by many of the’
correspondents in all of the sections ex
cept southeast Georgia, but no considerable
injury appears to have resulted from this
cause. Caterpillars and boll worms have
been observed in a few localities only.
In north Georgia the condition and
prospect is, in comparison with the aver
age of five years, 83; in middle Georgia, Bi-
in southwest Georgia, 78; in east Georgia,
74: in southeast Georgia, 87; and, in the
whole state, 81.
The prospect in the state, in comparison
with an average corn crop, is reported at
90. This indicates an improvement of 2
points since August 1. The averages for
the sections are as follows: North Geor
gia, 88; middle Georgia, 89; southwest
Georgia, 94: east Georgia, 97, and southeast
Georgia; 106.
The yield, in comparison with an aver
age melon crop, is, in north Georgia, 53;
in middle Georgia, 69; in southwest Geor
gia, 83: in east Georgia, 78; in southeast
Georgia, 86; and, in the whole state, 74.
. This has become an important market
crop in portions of middle southern Geor
gia that are conveniently provided with
transportation for the crop. The average
net profits of this crop when grown for the
market is, according to the reports of cor
respondents, f29.64 per acre.
MISCELLANEOUS CROPS.
The reports of correspondents for the
present month show an improvement in
the condition of nenrly all the crops since
the publication of the last crop report. The
prospect as shown by the averages of the
sections for some of the miscellaneous crops
is as follows:
Sugar Cane—Middle Georgia, 92; south
west Georgia, 95; east Georgia, 98; south
east Georgia, 88; and the whole state, 96.
Sorghum—North Georgia, 89; middle
Georgia, 97; southwest Georgia, 92; east
Georgia, 95; southeast Georgia, 100; and
the average for the state, 95.
Sweet Potatoes—North Georgia, 96; mid
dle Georgia, 93; southwest Georgia, 91 ;
east Georgia and southeast Georgia, 95;
and the average for the state, 94.

Atlanta, September 8.—The still hunt
for senator from the thirty-fifth district
has blossomed outlto-dayand ,it seems that
the following ticket, which has been spread
•broadcast over the town to-day, has got the
bulge in the race : For senator thirty-
fifth senatorial district, Hon. Frank P.
Bice; delegates, James W. Harle, W. L.
Peel, Green C. Adair, Henry Hillyer, W.
K. Booth, E. P. Chamberlain. I. S. Mitch
ell, Zach H. Smith, L. E. Gwmn, Hooper
Alexander, J. W. Goldsmith, A. F. Lee.
There is considerable opposition in the
way of discontented mutterings, but
whether it will be focalized into any or
ganized effort is doubtful. Rice was a
prominent prohibitionist, and it is thought
the passage of the resolution by the execu
tive committee declaring that only regis
tered voters can take part in the primary
election insures the election of the prohi
bition candidate.
lMssiitlNfiii-tion at Ku*(-‘n Citinlhhn-y.
Atlanta, September 8.—The Enqirer-
Sun has already published the action of
the democratic executive committee of
Fulton county in declaring that only reg
istered voters could take part in to-mor
row’s primary election for delegates to the
senatorial convention of the thirty-fifth
district; also that this disfranchised two-
thirds of the democrats of Fulton county,
as only about 2000 are registered.
This evening a called meeting
of the democratic executive committee
was held, and a resolution was introduced
reconsidering the notion of the committee.
Albert Cox spoke in favor of a reconsidera
tion, and several members of the commit
tee opposed it. The vote stood thirteen to
thirteen, and Chairman Collier east the
deciding vote in favor of a reconsideration.
The resolution was then adopted
allowing all democrats to vote.
To-night a mass meeting at the
opera house was addressed by
Messrs. Hoke Smith and Reuben Arnold
.in opposition to the ticket headed by
Frank Rice, and favoring the ticket which
■was not pledged to support any given man,
but simply to do tne best for Fulton
county’s good. They said that some such
well-known man as Dr. R. D. Spalding or
Tom Glenn would be urged for the place
if the latter ticket was elected. The speak
ers weraa both exceedingly severe upon
Frank Rice, pronouncing him a traitor and
entirely unworthy of the trust. The speech
of Col. Arnold was particularly bitter, and
he declared that Rice would sell his soul
for a mess of pottage: that he would sell
out to the prohibitionists one day and the
antis the next; that he had either sold
out to Colonel English, who was ad
vocating his candidacy in the interest of
his convict lease, or else he had sold out
to the Knights of Labor, and that he was
not fit to represent anything, and it would
be a disgrace to the people of Fulton to
elect such a man. The speech was the
bitterest excoriation 1 ever beard on the
stump.
HUGHES RELEASED.
The case against James Hughes for
keeping a blind tiger was dismissed by
Recorder Anderson to-day.
Killed B) The Cars.
Atlanta, Ga., September 8.—Ted Nash
was run over to-niglit at 11:30 o’clock at
the Forsyth street crossing while making
up a freight train. In coupling cars “ ,s
foot was caught in the guard rail, and the
wheel passed over him, mangling him ter
ribly. He will die. He was a train hand
in the employ of the Central road.

occupants. The first was the supposed

has established a most
nrobable theory in regard to these strange
and sudden visitations, and tout is that the
recent earthquake is tlie cause.
A gentleman who has made a special
study of rats says a rat by nature is com
pelled to gnaw; if lie does not his teeth
grow so rapidly that his jaws become
locked. He is one of the most nervous,
cunning and sensitive of creatures, and
when cornered is very vicious. They are
easily alarmed by rumbling or jarring
sounds.
This gentleman has no doubt but that
the tremor or reverberations caused by the
shocks of the earthquake Tuesday night so
alarmed the rats in the sewers, cellars and
subterranean passages that they left in
swarms. He remembers at the siege of
Paris, during the cannonading by the
armies, that the concussion frightened
thousands of rats from the sewers and cata
combs to the streets and houses.

Hamilton, Ga., September 8.—Judge
Allen, of Chipley, spent the day on yester
day in Hamilton.
Messrs. Russell, Murrali and White, of
Chipley, paid us a flying visit on yesterday.
Yesterday was public sales day, but the
only property advertised was stopped by a
claim.
There were a good many people in town
yesterday.
Hamilton received her first bale of cot
ton on the 7th and it classed middling, and
was bought by W. N. Haines for eight and
a half cents. It was ginned within the in
corporate limits, but brought iu by Bussey
Brothers. Later in the day three other
bales came in, but were not sold. We now
look for a better feeling to pervade our en
tire community. Cotton proves the power
that puts our business machinery in mo
tion.
Mobley Bothers have a complete ginnery
just opposite the depot. It already has all
the conveniences of any other ginnery in
the county for the rapid and efficient
handling of cotton, but now they intend
adding another—that of a “Dixie seed cot
ton elevator.” When a man drives his
wagon beside the gin house a suction
pipe is placed in the wagon and by means of
a fan the load is rapidly placed in the gin
house, without any manual labor at all.
There is nothing like pluck and vim to get
the patronage of the public, and from tlie
present outlook these young men are
about to get the control of the ginning of
all the neighboring crops.

margins of the pool itself and lowered the
surface of the water about twelve feet to
the level of the lowest point of the outlet.
The basin has now a diameter of two hun

General Sheridan was fortunate enough,
to see it twice or thrice in eruption while
on tours of military inspection through the
region. It always attracted his most
wondei-mg admiration, and some of his
friends called it the Sheridan Geyser.
In the winter of 1883 it ceased its erup
tions, and since that time and until its
recent outbreak, ns announced in tlie brief
despatch from Cinnabar, had remained
quiescent.
