Weather and the Crops.
The weekly crop bulletin of the
Weather Bureau summarizes crop
conditions as follow's:
Florida and portions of the Central
Gulf districts suffered injury from ex
cessive rains. The Middle and the
South Atlantic states and Southern
Texas are in need of Tain. Highly fa
vorable weather prevailed through
out the principal corn states. An ex
ceptionally large and fine yield of
corn is now assured over nruch the
greater part of the corn belt, and only
a very small part of the crop in the
North Central portion, estimated at
“from 2 to 5 per cent, of the* total, re
mains exposed to injury from the
frost, and this is maturing rapidly.
The reports Indicate no decided
change in the condition of cotton, as

The crop has suffered from the rav

caused slight damage in Georgia, Al-j

Louisiana and seriously injured the;

With the exception of heavy rains
in Louisiana .Southern Mississippi
and Florida, and showers in portions
of Alabama and Georgia, the went her
conditions have been favorable* for
picking. In the Carollnas, Georgia.
Florida and Alabama, it is estimated
that from 60 to 75 per cent, of the
crop has been gathered; in Texas,

pi, Louisiana and Oklahoma and In
dian Territories, from 25 to 50 per
cent., and in Arkansas and Tennessee
from 15 to 33 per cent.
Owing to blight and rot a crop of
potatoes of inferior quality Is gener

Southern states dry soil conditions
have not been favorable for plowing
and seeding.

LANDS IN PORTO RICO.
Cane Fields Twenty Miles Long and
Ten Miles Wide.
Gainesville, Fla., Oct. 4.—Among
the visitors to this city Saturday was
Oliver Shaw, formerly of Alachua,
but for the past few years a resident
of Porto Rico., where he holds a lu
crative and responsible goverment
position.
Mr. Shaw, who was born and rear
ed near Alachua, this county, Is now
on a visit to his parents, Mr. and
Mrs. J. M. Shaw, at that place. In
1898, during the Spanish-Amerlcan
war, he joined the brigadier quarter
master's department and went to Por-j
to Rico. He became Infatuated wfth
the .country and at the close of the
war decided to remain there. Hav
ing won distinction In his duties with
the United States army, and showing
proficiency, he was given a situation
with the civil government, education
al department, with headquarters at
San Juan, the capital.
“Porto Rico is a fine country,” re
marked Mr. Shaw, who is very en
thusiastic over the prospects of the
newly-developed island. “There Is no
soil in the world superior for the cul
tivation of sugar cane, tobacco and
coffee, and all are Important crops,
with probably a little favor to sugar
cane. I recently visited a cane field
twenty miles In length, and from ten
to twelve miles wide, with the plant
growing from eight to twelve feet
high. The coffee plant also grows
and hears proliflcally, while tobacco
thrives well, and hundreds of thous
ands of pounds are harvested every
year."
Mr. Shaw states that the sea Island
cotton industry is becoming Import
ant on the Island now, and many
planters are turning their attention
to this plant, several thousand bales
having been ginned this season.

Ed was arraigned immediately in
the mayor’s court. It is said there
were several witnesses, but only one
was introduced. This witness was

session arraigned upon a charge of
being drunk and disorderly and fined
$2.5n ;uid costs. Davis testified that

Fun of Tragic Meaning
Are these lines from J. H. Simmons,
of Casey, Ia. Think what might have
resulted from his terrible cough if
he nad not taken the medicine about
hich he writes: “I had a fearful
cough, that disturbed my night’s
rest. I tried everything, but nothing
would relieve it, until I took
King’s New Discovery for consump
tion, coughs and colds, which com
pletely cured me. Instantly relieves
and permanently cures all throat and
lung diseases; prevents grip -and
pneumonia. At W. D. Dunaway and
E. Dimmock’s drug stores; price
50 cents and $1.00. Trial bottle free.
Ed, the defendant, one pint of
rye whisky, for which he paid lawful
money of the United States. He
stated to the court that this pint was
what got him into trouble, as he be
came intoxicated from the effect of
the contents of the bottle.
Without further proceeding in this
case, Mayor Thomas uwessed n fine
of $500 and costs, and In default of
payment he was remanded to Jail.
It lias been several days since an a
rest of this nature occurred. The
blind tigers are either few and far
between in Gainesville or the officers
find it difficult to capture them.
Those who do fall Into the clutches
of the law, however, are severely
dealt with.
