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. Friiiik Kiel) for Siiniitoi-. 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. SALAD FROM SEALE.

New York, September 8.—On Tuesday night last a sensation was naturally ex perienced In one of the most- prominent apartment houses up town by the earth quake, and on Friday night two more sen sations occurred, which again alarmed the occupants.

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. lb- llnil to Lie, Ton.

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.

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.

The basin has now a diameter of two hun dred feet. 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.
