June 10.—Governor Al len Candler, after a four days’ visit, left Washington last night for Atlanta. He did not call on the president while here, as governors usually do when in the na tion's capital. < ' "I read the president’s Arlington speech, he said, “and I didn’t have time to call on him.” The governor announced that he would step out of public office forever when he turns the state reins over to Governor Ter rell next year. •It is the last office I ever expect to hold.** Is the way he puts it. ”My only efforts in politics hereafter will be to help my friends and to down my enemies. " He smiled when he referred to his “en , Males ’ as if he didn’t have an enemy In the world. “I am going' back to Gainesville and get acquainted with my wife and children when my term as governor expires. There all my Interests lie and there is where my dead are buried. I expect to remain in Gainesville.” He did not say what line of business he would take up, but it Is understood here hs will be connected with an eastern firm as representative for the south. In the corridor of the capitol Governor Candler met Governor McMillin, of Ten nessee, yesterday afternoon. The two had served their states in congress to gether and both were delighted at their meeting as governors of sister states. ‘‘Allen. I am governor of the finest state in the south.” bald Governor McMillin. •*Ben,” replied Governor Candler. “I am .** governor of the finest state in the union.” Then they congratulated each other. Governor Candler dined at Senator Ba eoon’s yesterday, where the other guests were Senator Clay and Representatives Bhrtlett. Maddox. Brantley, Griggs, Lewis and Howard. Before the dinner he had a busy day of It shaking hands with the friends he made while In congress, and he was tired, but the dinner, which was the genuine Georgia article, with cow peas for a feature, restored him. He re gretted the absence of corn bread, how ever, and made Senator Bacon promise to have some next time. CREDIT MEN CONTINUE WORK BEGUN TUESDAY LOU4S VILLE. Ky v June 11.—The second day’s session of the annual convention of the National Association of Credit Men convened at 10 o'clock this morning, and after some routine business an address on ••Commercial Integrity” was delivered by W. B. Roberts, of Portland. Ore. The report of the committee on Im ■rovemqnt of mercantile agancies was pre sented The report caused considerable discus sion. W. T. Rolph. of the R. G. Dun Mer cantile agency, cf Philadelphia, made an elaborate defence of the mercantile agen cies and opposed the resolutions, stating . that certain of the reforms demanded -wpre impracticable. A telegram was also received from President Clark, of the Bradstreet agency, his arguments being similar to these of Mr. Rolph.

June 11—The United States grand jury, which has been inves tigating the beef trust, was today dismiss ed. no indictment having been returned. This is understood to mean that the gov ernment has given up the task as hope less. The local packing house managers had refused to answer questions and al , though Judge Parlange. of the United States district court, decided that they must answer, the witnesses had prepared tn further resist through their attorneys by taking out habeas corpus proceedings. Jt Is believed instructions- from Wash ington have been received to take the ac tion made In dismissing the grand jury. . and that the whole status of the beef trust, so far as the government is con cerned at Washington, will be determined by the proceedings now under way at Chicago an injunction against the trust brought under the provisions of the Sher- * man act. This injunction is a chancery proceeding and was Instituted by the at torney general of that state and the dis trict attorney for Chicago. THREE MORE CANDIDATES FOR THE SUPREME BENCH Warner Hill, of Meriwether, Judge Roger Gamble, of Louisville, and Judge Henry, of Floyd, are the latest mentioned candidates for the supreme court in the •vent that Judge Lewis resigns. . Candidates are coming out in every sec tton of the state, and it is believed that there will be as many as twenty men In the race by the time the convention meets ran July 2. Judge George HUlyer, of At lanta. is being urged by many of his friends to run. but he has not yet made any announcement. If Judge HUlyer should enter the race Atlanta would have four candidates.

CUHOffiEMTES AGMNST HOWELL BECAME ANGRY Ih( SENATORIAL CONVENTION AND REFUSED TO VOTE FOR ATLANTIAN. Hon. Clark Howell, of Atlanta, was to day nominated for state senator by the thirty-fifth senatorial district convention. The nomination, however, was not unan imous, as has been the custom. Instead, the Clayton count}' delegation got mad. put up a candidate from Clayton, James Waldrop, and cast two votes against Clark Howell. The Cobb county and Fulton county del egation. ten in number, cast ten votes for Mr. Howell, which was a majority of the convention and sufficient to nominate him on the first ballot. Mr. Howell will, there fore. ba the next senator from this dis trict. composed of Fulton, Clayton and Cobb counties. When the convention was called to order by President Clarence Moore, the Clayton county delegation wanted to bring up the question of who should have the senator two years from now. The last senatorial convention, held two years ago, had de cided that issue, which decision was that Fulton should have it for the next two years, Cobb should have it for the two years following and then Clayton could come in. The Clayton county people did not relish the idea at the last convention and this morning attempted to have the matter settled again. The convention would not hear to a re newal of the matter, however, and the resolution was voted down. It was then that C. M. Huie placed in nomination James Waldrop for the present senator ship. When the vote was taken the result was 10 to 2 in favor of Mr. Howell and he was declared the next nominee. Those present at the convention this morning as delegates were’ George L. Lemon, W. R. Scott, John A. Lewis and E. P. Dobbs, of Cobb county; T. C. Cannon, C. M. Huie, A. B. Mitcham, J. L. Lewis, H. D. Moore and C. R. Huie, of Clayton county; Clarence E. Moore, W. O. Stamps. R. F. Baker, J. M. Moore. A. A. Meyer and Burton Smith, of Fulton county. * Each county was entitled to twice as many votes In the convention as the coun ty had representation in the house of rep resentatives. Therefore, Fulton had six votes. Cobb four votes and Clayton two votes. The counties that have had senators since the diso-ict was organised tn 19Q are as follows. A. J. Hansell, of Cobb, 1861 to lf«2; h. P. Watkins, of Fulton, 1863 to 1865; J. F. Johnston, of Clayton, 1866 to 1867; W. T. Winn, of Cobb. 1868; J. L.

June 10.—Assistant Corpo ration Counsel Cosby, in charge of the bu reau for the collection of penalties, is pro ceeding against about 40 of the large office buildings in the city under the ordinance forbidding the use of soft coal. The pen alty is SSO for each violation and where the department of health has given notice to stop the use of soft coal, and it is con tinued contrary to order, the penalty is 2250. •’Since the miners' strike, the use of bi tuminous coal has become general in the city,’* said Captain Cosby. "We believe that many people are tak ing advantage of the coal strike as an ex cause for burning soft coal. There are hard coal regions in Canada, England and in the south, and there is no reason why these supplies should not be drawn upon.” SLATES KNOCKED OUT IN MACON SCHOOLS MACON, June 11.—Bibb’s board of edu cation has decided to abolish the use of slates.

June 11.-The weather bureau’s weekly summary of crop con ditions is as follows: Although the week averaged somewhat cooler than usual in portions of the lake region and northern New England, where light frosts occurred, the temperature conditions were generally favorable in the districts east of the Rocky Moun tains and also in the middle and southern Pacific coast regions. The states of the lower Missouri valley have again suffered from excessive rains, which have also in terrupted farm work in the northern por tions in Illinois and Indiana and the southern portions of Wisconsin and Mich igan. Rain is now generally needed along the gulf and Atlantic coasts'from Texas to southern New England and drouth is becoming serious in the Carolinas and in the central and gulf states. With ample moisture and favorable temperatures corn has made good growth throughout the central valley, but is much in need of cultivation in the states of the lower Mississippi and Wisconsin. In the lower Ohio valley and Tennessee the crop is well cultivated and in prom ising condition, but in the central and west gulf states is suffering much from drouth. ihe warm showery weather there for the past week has been favorable to the development of rust in winter wheat in portions of Missouri and Indiana and has caused lodging to some extent in Illinois and Missouri. With these exceptions a general improvement in thq condition of the crop is shown. Harvest has begun as far north as North Carolina. Tennes see and the southern portions of Missou ri an- Kansas, but is progressing under difficulties resulting from heavy rains in the last named state. On the Pacific coast the wheat outlook continues promising although grass-hop pers are causing some damage in the Sac ramento valleys. Spring wheat has made rapid growth and there is a promising condition throughout the spring wheat region ex cept in lowlands, where it has suffered from excessive moisture. In the states of Missouri, and upper Mississippi valleys and lake region oats have made good progress and are in prom ising condition, although too rank growth is reported from portions of Illinois, lowa, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In the upper Ohio valley, middle and south Atlantic and east gulf states the crop is inferior. Rain has been generally needed through out the cotton belt except over the north ern portion of the central districts. The effects of drouth, however, are not yet seriously. Insects are causing injury to portions of Texas, Indiana and Georgia. The crops are generally well cultivated, except over the northern portion of the western districts. In Pennsylvania, Maryland. Virginia, and North Carolina, the conditions have not been favorable for transplanting to bacco, and the condition of early planted in the two last named states has deteri orated. In the Ohio valley and Tennes see, transplanting is nearly finished, the acreage in Kentucky, being reduced on .account of insufficient plants and unfa vorable “seasons.” Cutting 4s in prog ress in South Carolina. On the whole t.he fruit outlook continues unfavorable, the most promising reports being received from the lake region, the northern portion of the middle Atlantic states and New England. Except in the middle Atlantic states and Ohio valley the grass crop has expe rienced a decided improvement. RAIN HAS HELPED TH£GROWING CROPS The weekly crop bulletin issued Tuesday by the weather bureau summarizes the crop conditions as follows: Dry weather continued during the early part of the week, but on Friday, Satur day and Sunday the prevailing drought was partially broken by showers in nu merous sections. The rainfall was of much benefit to growing crops, and the latter were revived in n.any counties where they had been failing from lack of moisture. The drought still remains in force in scattered sections, and it is remarked by many corerspondents that a heavy rain is needed. Field crops are withstanding the dry spell in a favorable manner, generally speaking, but gardens have been mate rially Injured and are regarded as a fail ure in some counties. Corn and cotton continue to do well over the larger portion of the state, and by many are regarded as more promising than usual; both crops have received good cultivation, and stands are almost uniformly excellent. Cotton chopping is practically completed, and much of the early corn has been laid by in southern sections. Cotton blooms are reported in several of the more southern counties, but bloom ing is not yet general. Lice have ap peared in scattered localities, although on the whole the crop is unusually fife from insect pests and disease. Harvesting of wheat and oats has proceeded uninter n ptedly; the yields are indifferent for the most part. Minor crops are in good grow ing condition. Shipping of early peaches h. s continued, and Is at an end in a few counties. The prospect for apples, pears and plums continues poor, and late peach es are shedcing and rotting extensively.

NEW YORK, June 11.—The cotton market opened firm and 3 to 5 points higher on fairly active and general buying led by more or less frightened shorts and commission house Inter ests. Following the call there was a further improvement on continued good support, includ ing foreign demand for the fall and winter op tions. Wall street Interests, however, appear ed to be selling the July and August positions with confidence and these options failed to show the same degree of strength as the later months. July worked up to 8.82. August 8.58 and Octo ber to 841. Then came a movement to secure profits and selling by the room traders for a reaction. Un der which the whole list broke quite sharply to a point or so under last night's final blds. Trading became very quiet on the down-turn and fluctuations were confined to a narrow range. The early strength originated in bullish Liverpool cables, a dry weather chart, a fore cast for continued absence of rain In the belt, and claims from the belt that the drouth was beginning to show its effects Upon young cot ton. Late in the morning the market was stupidly dull and rather heavy, with prices down 6 to 7 points under room selling and sheer absence of speculative support.

Moreover, it was known that the mercury early In the day was hovering around in the 90s at certain points in Texas, and as this state naturally attracts great at tention, the course of the market was shaped by the frequent reports from that state, and while the trade is extremely nervous and are disposed to support the market, there is no wild scramble to buy just yet. On the contrary a very conservative spirit prevails, since it is conceded that rain Is not yet absolutely needed in most statc-s. However, It is also conceded that the crop is not doing so well because of the dry weather and the mere possibility of de terioration has given the bulls control of the market until weather conditions have changed. The market ruled dull and kept within a nar row range after the opening. The short inter est is claimed to be very large, but it is evi dent that they are so far from scared. Bull support was lacking tq the extent expected to day and prices eased oft a trifle after opening, although forecast was for no rain In the south west. Bulk of all theorising there is anxiety to know whence needed cotton Is to come from in 'October, regardless of brilliant crop pros pects. Grain and Provisions. CHICAGO. June 11.—Bullish crop reports issued by the government was the feature of the early wheat market today. The condition reported at 76.1, as against 76.4 May 1, was a surprise, for figures around 80 were con fidently expected. This report indicated a de crease of about 126,000,000 bushels in the wheat yield from that of last year. Cables also were higher and as a conse quence shorts covered. There was some fair commission house buying and July prices opened %®%c to %®%c higher, at 71%e to 71%c. Receipts were still small northwest, but Minneapolis was as weak, comparatively, aa it was strong yesterday. Fair weather continued In the southwest argl as a result the early strength was not well held. ’July wheat slipping back to 71%®71%c.- Local receipts were 24 cars, three cf contract grade; Minne apolis and Duluth reported 185 cars, making a total for the three points of 209 cars, against 153 last week and 359 a year ago. There was no government report on corn but higher ca bles and the strength of the early market together with influential buying brought a strong market. July opened %@%c higher, at 63 to 63%c, and advanced to 6314 c. Receipts were buillshly small at 194 cars, and accept ances were light. . Late trading in wheat was erratic. There was good local trading and July rose, but tumbled back to 71%c on liquidation. The close was flrm with July %®%c up at 71%c. Corn needed the artificial support It got to push July to 63%c. Profit taking brought a dip to 62%c, but the close was firm with July %c up at 63%c. Talk In the oats pit today began to sug gest the possibility of a bull deal in new July stuff. With the cash demand still fairly good at 45045%0 the present July figures seem much too low to the bulls. The crop condition favor.) growth. The government report was bearish, showing a condition of 90.6 with a probable yield of 805.000,000 bushels. 4.1 per cent over last year. There was an easy feel ing early, but July opened 14c up, at 3844 c, and steadied at 38%c. Receipts were small at 93 cars. Hogs were flrm, but provisions acted top heavy for a time. Son.'e scattered outside liquidation brought early dips but the pack ers again absorbed for higher prices. July pork opened 216 c lower to 6c up. at 117.70 to 217.75; dipped to 217.6714 and rallied to 217.7214; July lard steady, a shade qp to a shade down, at 210.35 to 210.3714. and July ribs 5c off, at 217.70, broke to 210-50 and rallied slightly.

June 11.—There was a good bulge In wheat this moring but the market weak ened late in the session and lost nearly all of the gain closing weak about 1 cent from top price, and % to %cent higher than yes terday’s close. July shows the greater gain. There was a decided change in sentiment and bulls were numerous early in the sqpsion. The contraction places on the ogvernment' re port higher cables and bad crop reports from lowa and reports of a big decrease in the Kansas area In the July situation at Minne apolis were bullish influences. Corn was strong with wheat and there was good demand for latter options. July was ’ erratic and the trade was inclined to fight shy of It. The early market was higher and buying very good later when wheat developed weakness there was a decline in com, most of the advance being lost, and the market closed %c higher for July and a fraction high er for other options. Oats were a shade lower at the opening, but later showed strength with other grains and held the advance. It not being affected to any extent by the break in wheat and corn..

June 7, 1902.—Since my letter to the Daily Stockholder of May 31, the country has gone through extremes of wet weather to such a degree that It has brought everything In the growing world to practically a stand still. This condition of things has not been Os a local character, but very general over the most important portions of the winter wheat and corn belts. The winter wheat crop is getting very rank. All now headed out and beginning to fill. This situation, of course, applies to the late sown winter wheat, which Is always the great bulk of the crop, and when we talk about harvest ing the early wheat It means very little as compared with the whole crop. This portion.of the crop has been and is now being harvested. The late winter wheat, particularly in the southwest, has during the last ten days, more particularly the present week, been subjected to very excessive moisture, and on very much of the rich bottom lands It is nearly all laying flat and some of it very badly rusting, so you can see that the winter wheat situation is not as rose-colored at the present time as some would like to make out that It is. In the northern and central portions of the corn belt we have also had very excessive rains, and even in some localities taking on the shape of cloudbursts. This situation of things has generally totally suspended the cultivation of com, and the fields are generally getting quite weedy on account of the farmers not being able to get Into therp and give them that work which at this time of the year Is so essential to their fjiture suc cess. . .. On the other hand the country has got a big acreage of corn this season. It is ten to twelve days earlier than usual and it has made an ex cellent stand. With all these favorable condi tions all We need. pqw. Is a mopth of good dry weather, so that farmers can get into their fields and work their corn. The oat crop i? also getting very rank and the stand Is very heavy. There is every prospect that with these conditions the oat crop this season cannot help bat lodge very badly. Spring wheat conditions have shown consid erable improvement since the date of my last letter and the crop now is making rapid growth and prospects generally are favorable for its fu ture outcome. Pastures and meadows under the conditions which have been against the other crops have been very favorable for grass. Cattle and stock of all kinds are now on full feed. I consider now that the country Is fully launched with its summer campaign for crops, and we have this in Its favor, that the season is early, that the acreage is large and more diversified than usual, and that all we need now during the month of June is a cessation of moisture and a reasonable high temperature to give us generally very fair results.

The party which has the president al ways loses some votes In the house of repreesntatives in the election around the middle of his term. This was true even tn the civil war and early reconstruction period. Sometimes this setback is not se vere enough to revolutionize congress. Thus Cleveland did not lose the house elected in the middle of his first term, but he lost enough votes to reduce his ma jority In that body In the second two years to less than half what it was in his first two. McKinley hung on to the house chosen in 1898, but the cut on his side was so great that he had less than a third of the majority in that branch in the lasi half of his service that he had in the first half. Often the reverse in the mid-term con gressional election is so severe that the house is won by the president’s enemies. This sort of a disaster hit Pierce in 1854, hit Grant In the second half of his second term, hit Arthur, hit Benjamin Harrison in 1890, and hit Cleveland In the middle of his second term in 1894. No party, since the Republicans lost the house in 1874 for the first time since Lincoln’s election in 1800. ever carried the house so many times in succession as the Republicans already have, beginning in 1894. Here are some of the side lights which history throws on the chances of this year’s congressional .canvass.- \ u There are certain other things whidh the Republican leaders should keep In mind. The prosperity which came In with the Republicans as a result of the election cf 1896 has lasted so long and seems so much like the regular condition of things that hundreds of thousands of voters have forgotten that there ever was any adversi ty. For any errors of omission or commis sion chargeable to the president or con gress the Republican party will be held responsible. Many questions of great im portance are before oongress. On one at least of these—that relating to the trade with Cuba—the Republicans are discordant. There have been disappoint ments regarding some of the president's selections for federal offices. The trust question Is embarrassing to the dominant party. And there are Republicans who, wishing to rebuke their party for any cause, may feel that they can do so just now without putting the Democracy in control of affairs; for, no matter what the result of the coming election for thfe house may be. the Republicans will hold the president and the senate at least two years longer. Tne congressional election of 1902 prom ises to be exceedingly interesting for the country. King Charles I in Captivity. The London Chronicle. Mr. E. G. Atkinson, of the public record office, has come across two Interesting rohs throwing frecn light on the treat ment of Charles I as a prisoner almost up to the eime of his execution. These state papers, wirich seem to have escaped the diligent research of Dr. S. B. Gar diner, show that the Roundheads did not ac: in a niggardly way toward their royal captive in the matter of dress and other re uisites. Tlje king’s boots and shoes between May and October, 1647, cost £2B 4s. The tailor's bill for the king and the commissioners attending his majesty came to £333 15s, and the bill for other apparel, including black and colored silk stock ings, scarlet riding coat, trimmed with gol I and silver lace, and lined with plush, and a v iiight bag laced with gold and sliver lace post £235 9s. Among other ar tices ordered for his majesty were* a watch in iwo gold cases and a great silver clock.

STRINGE CASE OF ORVAL HEAD AGED MAN IS CHARGED WITH KIDNAPING-BOY CHANGED HIS NAME AND WAS BAPTIZ ED AS JOHNNY BROWN. In a maze of confilctln< testimony evl-. dence in the case of C. M. Hammond, charged with the kidnaping of 12-year-old Orvai Head, was concluded Monday after noon before Judge John'S. Candler, just before the court took recess for dinner. Hammond is charged with the kidnap ing of this boy July SI, 1901. According to the child’s story, the old man put him in a wagon driven by his son, Hugh Hammond, and told him if he did not sdbmit to be taken at that time he would be caught and carried where he would never see bls mother again. He was then carried in the wagon by Ham mond's son to the home of James Prit chett in Douglas county, where he re mained for five months under the name of Johnny Brown. Hammond and the Pritchetts tell entire-, ly another story. The boy, Hammond says Orvai told him he was running away because his mother beat him so. The Pritchetts say they knew him only as Johnny Brown, and that he worked on their farm and had perfect liberty. He was even baptized into the church in Douglas county under the name of John ny Brown. Mr. Pritchett testified that when he at last discovered the boy’s identity and sought to bring him home* the child did not want to come. As a motive for the alleged kidnaping, the prosecution sets up the theory that old man Hammond wanted Mrs. Lula Head, the boy’s mother, to offer a reward for his return, she having lately received some money from a street car company on account of her husband's death. One witness testified that some time after th* boy disappeared,’ he asked Hammond If he supposed he was .lead and he replied that if the mother would offer a reward the boy would come to light soon enough. The bad feeling between the Hammonds and the Heads, both of whom live near each othet about four miles west of At lanta, seems to have had its beginning some time before the boy’s disappearance. Hammond kept a little store and there was some trouble about trade. The evidence showed without question that the Hammonds, father and son. were well enough aware of the lad’s where abouts, as the son took the boy to Pritch ett’s and the father visited there at least twice while the boy made their place his home. Neither of them, however, accord ing to Pritchett's testimony, ever told him of the boy’s identity. Pritchett fur ther testified that the lad was under no confinement, but went to church and pro tracted meeting and about the country at will. In telling of his alleged kidnaping, the Head child said old man Hammond told his boy to drive away with him and added: “They can’t do anything to you, anyway, for kidnaping, because you are not of agre.” Hammond is an old man* of venerable mien. His face is florid, his hair is iron gray and curls over his neck and temples. His hands and fingers were tremulous as he listened to the evidence, especially to the statement of Mrs. Head, accusing him of decoying away her son. When he took the stand to make his statement he was evidently much affected and spoke dra matically of the way he understood Mrs. Head abused the boy. "I have heard It said,” he declared, "that she beat this same boy until the floor was twp inches deep in blood!" Attorney T. J, Ripley, who represented Hammond, insisted that the boy had run away to escape his mother. "Look at her, gentlemen,” he cried, pointing at Mrs. Head. "You can tell she is a regular spitfire! She beat the boy. He was afraid of her, and he ran away!" "I didn’t!” ejaculated Mrs. Head. HAMMOND WAS CONVICTED OF KIDNAPING ORVAL HEAD C. M. Hammond, the aged man who waz charged with kidnaping, was found guilty in Judge Candler’s court Monday after noon, the jury, however, recommending that the crime be treated as a misde meanor. This was done, and Judge Can dler imposed a fine of SIOO, which Ham mond paid. WILL HOLD SENATORIAL CONVENTION AT FORSYTH MACON, June 11.—The senatorial com mittee met here yesterday and named the 24th as time and Forsyth as the place for holding the senatorial convention for this dietrict. At that convention Mr. W. A. Worsham will be declared the nominee and a new executive committee will be chosen. There was confusion yesterday as to whether the meeting was a convention or a gathering of the senatorial committee. Editor B. F. Holder, of Athens, had call ed the meeting, and some of the dele gates came down from Monroe and Pike, thinking it was the nominating conven tion. When they reached here they found no meeting. They told their troubles to Mr. B. M. Davis, of the old county execu tive committee of Bibb, and Mr. Davis named a couple of delegatee for Bibb to serve in the senatorial convention, and these six delegates proceeded to the court house presumbably to adopt a platform for Mr. Worsham, and to nominate a new committee. The news spread about the streets, how ever, and some of the anti-prohibitionists declared they saw in ft a certainty to have Mr. Worsham placed on a prohibition platform, although he had been elected on a local option platform, and also to have a prohibition executive committee named to succeed the present committee. It was claimed that there were four prohlbitlon ' Ists in the meeting and only two antis. But on the floor when the meeting was called to order In the court bouse, Mr. T. J. Carling, who 'is a member of the executive committee from Bibb, arose and read the call that had been Issuql by Chairman Holder, and explained that it was not a convention, but simply a com mittee meeting, and he asked that his rights as a committeeman be respected. The convention then stepped aside, and one committee from each county was ■present, so the date and place were chosen for the convention, and Nominee Wor sham was invited to name his own dele gates to attend the convention.
