CROP NOT AFFECTED
Colton Killed By Cold Wave Will
Soon Be Replanted.
TEXAS ONLY STATE TO ESCAPE
Some Localities Report a Scarcity
of Seed For Replanting--Out
look Not Discouraging.
The Atlanta Constitution in its is
sue of Tuesday morning says: It may
safely bo said that the recent cold
snap, though of unusual severity for
this season of the year, will not mate
rially affect the cotton crop one way
or the other so far as results are con
cerned.
Severe cold, even after a good por
tion of the crop is above ground; may
mean more work for the farmers, but
it does not mean a reduction of the
size of the cotton crop. This is a les
son that history teaches.
In May,lß9B, nearly a mouth later in
the year than the cold spell just pass
ed, the temperature went just as low
as on this occasion, but the cold spell I
was of shorter duration. However,
the cotton had advanced considerably
further than is the case in April, and
far more damage was done.
Notwithstanding this, the cotton
crop of 1898 was the largest in the J
history of the south—ll,2oo,ooo bales.
So far as the ultimate results are
concerned, therefore, it may be said
that this year’s late cold snap, though j
it may have damaged and destroyed
considerable sproutting cotton, will J
not materially affect the result. The j
chances are that as mnetr, if not more, '
cotton than was destroyed will imme
diatoly be replanted.
The only difficulty that can possibly
intervene this year might be the !
scarcity of cotton seed, but it is not
believed there will be any material |
trouble on that score, though in some j
sections the farmers are quite appre- j
hensive.
Reports received Monday night from
all of the cotton growing states, and
the indications from these are that the
young cotton has in many instances .
been killed by the cold. In some sec
tions, however, the damage was slight
and replanting will not be necessary.
The reports from Georgia show that
considerable vouug cotton has been
damaged or killed in the southern part
of the state where that planted early
was above the ground. The majority
of the crop, however, is not yet above
the ground, so it will be seen the dam
age will be comparatively small. Cot
ton planting has been generally late
this spring, and the dumage is far less
thau it would have been had more of
the seed been put in the ground.
Some damage lias been reported
from Alabama, but as a whole it is
slight, because, as in Georgia, so little
of the crop is yet above ground. In
Alabama it is said about one-third of
tho crop Has been planted, and only
about oue-tbird of that is above
ground. Thus in that state only a
part of one-ninth of the young crop
will ueed to be replanted.
Advices from Tenuessee state that
the cold snap will affect early planting
and in u few instances will necessitate
replauting; but it is stated that it is
too early to say that the crop has been
materially damaged.
Mississippi reports somewhat more
serious damage to the young crop
thau the other states. Much of the
young cottou there has been killed
out, while the ground has been so cold
as to prevent proper germination
Consequently much of the seed put
into the grouu 1 is not yet up.
Texas, the greatest of all the cottou
planting states, reports no damage to
the crop. Heavy raius early in the
seasou prevented early planting; con
sequently there was little or no cottou
tip when the cold snap came along.
Reports from that state indicate that
very little if any replanting will bo
necessary.
The same practically holds true of
Arkausas as of Texas. The planting in
that state was late and the cold did
little or no damage.
FRUIT LITTLE DAMAGED.
Reports from all of the fruit grow*
ing sections of Georgia, indicate that
the recent cold snap has not material
ly damaged the fruit crop.
The greatest interest is felt in Geor
gia peaches, a crop that is worth some
thing like a million dollars or more
annually, but up to the present time
the almost universal verdict is that
they are practically unhurt.
Some scattering reports indicate
that there has been damage to the
fruit in a few sections but they may
gTOw out of the fears that the unusual
job! weather naturally created.
State Entomologist W. M. Scott is
at the opiuion that it will be several
days yet before it can be told what the
exact effect on the fruit crop will be.
ft will take the warm sunshine of a
day or two, he says, to develop just
what damage the cold did to the grow
ing fruit.

CAPTAIN RIPLEY GOES EREE.
Jury Was Not Disposed to Impose
Either Life Sentence or the
Death Penalty.
Saturday the jury in the case ol
Captain Garnett Ripley, at Frankfort,
Ky., charged with being in a conspir
acy which resulted in the assassina
tion of William* Goebel, rendered a
verdict of not guilty.
The defendant was immediately sur
rounded by friends and congratulated.
Commonwealth’s Attorney Frank
lin, in discussing the jury’s verdict,
said:
“A sworu officer, I have done what
I considered my full duly. These
jurors are sworn officers and I will
never be found criticising officials
whom I know have acted conscien
, tiously.”
Although the jury was out two
j hours, most of the time was taken up
j in discussing the case in the jury
j room. Only two ballots were taken.
! On the first ballot ten jurors voted
: “not guilty,” aud two voted “guilty.”
The two who voted guilty said they
believed the evidence showed him con
nected with the conspiracy, but when
they learned that either a life im
prisonment sentence or the death pen
alty must be imposed, and that a
shorter seutence would not be im
posed they came over and voted with
the majority for an acquittal.
Csptain Ripley was the fourth one
of the alleged Goebel suspects to be
tried.
The jury was composed of eleven
farmers aud a merchant, all Demo
j erats.
The matter of a requisition for the
return of ex-Governor W. S. Taylor
: from Indiana for trial was again a
I theme of popular speculation, but

MANIFESTO IS ISSUED
Agninaldo Advises His Country,
men to Lay Down Arms.
LONGER RESISTANCE USELESS
The Americans Are Generous and
Filipinos Will Obtain Liberty
By Giving Heed.
_
The following is Aguinaldo’s ad
dress to the Filipino people, made
public at Manila Friday evening -
I believe I am not in error in pro
sumiug that the unhappy fate in which
my adverse fortune has led me i S noj
a surprise to those who have been fa
miliar with the progress of the war
The lessons taught with a full mea&
ing and which have recently come l<
my knowledge, suggest with irresisti
hie force that a complete terminatioi
of hostilities and lasting peace are nc
only desirable, but absolutely esseu'
tial to the welfare of the Philippi n ,
islands.
“The Filipinos have never been dis
mayed at their weakness nor bav
they faltered in following the path
pointed out by their fortitude and
courage. The time has come, how
ever, in which they and their advance
along this path to be impeded by an
irresistible force which, while it re
strains them, yet enlightens their mindi
and opens to them another course
presenting them the cause of peace'
This cause has been joyfully embraced
by the majority of my fellow country,
men, who have already united around
the glorious sovereign banner of thi
United States. In this banner thet
repose tbeir trust and belief that uu
der its protection the Filipino peoplj
will attain all those promised liberties
which they are beginning to enjoy.
“The country has declared unmis
takably in favor of peace. So be it
There has been enough blood, enough
tears and enough desolation. Thi
wish cannot be ignored by the men
still in arms if they are animated by 1
desire to serve onr noble people,which
has thus clearly manifested its will,
So do I respect this will now that it it
known to me.
“After mature deliberation I rest
lately proclaim to the world that lea
not refuse to heed the voice of a peo
pie longing for peace, uor the lamen
tations of thousands of families yearn
ing to see their dear ones enjoying th
liberty and the promised generosity!
the great American nation.
“By acknowledging and accepts
the sovereignty of the United Stati
throughout the Philippine arehipel
go, as I now do, and without any re
ervation whatsoever, 1 believe thatß
am serving thee, my beloved count™
May happiness be thine.” 9
To signalize this important step ■
the pacification of the country, Gen®
al MacArthur orders the release,
swearing allegiance to the Uni™
States, of 1,000 insurgent prisoners, ■
EFFECT WILL BE GOOD. I
It is believed by the administrat IK
that the manifesto of Agninaldo wifl
have a decidedly good effect both J
the Philippines and in this count™
It w - ill take some time for its
•nation among the Filipinos, but it®
expected to he of considerable
and to make more rapid the
ment in the situation which set®
some time ago and has become qai®
marked of late. Especial gratifieati®
is felt at the'unreserved tone ofi®
document, and the full aoceptanci®
indicates of American rule. This,®
is felt, will bring to the support oft™
government many Filipinos, vi™
while wishing for peace, have hi®
tated to assist the Taft commission.®^
In this country it is expected to ®
duce the criticism of the admiuisti®
tion, and to cause less discussion®
the w - ar in the islands, and more ci®
sideration of the important matter H
the best administration to be
for tbeir government. It is to
work that the Taft commission is no®
bending all its energies.
Agninaldo, now that he has accept®
American sovereignty, probably ™g|
be given considerably more libe®
than h# has enjoyed heretofore. W
services will be used as far as
ble in the pacification of the island* I
