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.

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 Commonwealth’s Attorney Franklin ; refuses to discuss it. CABTOIUA.

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.

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.
