MUCH DISCOURAGED.
Farm* rs In Flovd Feeling Effacta
Of the Bains,
Farmers are very much out of
heart over the present situation,
says the Rome Tribune.
Crops are in an extremely bad
way, and unless sunshine comes in
a few days the damage in many
insta: c s will be beyond repair.
River bottoms and lowlands
have suffered most, They have
been under water a large part of
the time, and crops on them are
ruined.
Mr. S.J. Whatley of Ridge Val
ley, was in the city yesterday, and
in conversation with a Tribune Re
porter gave a very gloomy view of
the outlook in his section.
He says that for one month and
a half he has been able to plow only
one and a half days, and that such
is the experience of all farmers in
this section.
Corn and cotton are extremely
grassy, and unless the season from
nnvon is very favorable indeed,
little will be made. In many fields
you cannot tell what crop is planted
for the rank growth of weeds and
grass.
C< ndi .ions existing in Ridge
Valley are the same perhaps as
those in all this section of North

Uncle Sam Will No Longer Feed
Indolent Porto Ricans,
Washington, June 20. —The War
Department has received an inter
esting repoit from General Davis,
commanding our forces in Porto
Rico, concerning the great hurri
cane which swept over the island
last August, and the conditions
resulting from the efforts of the
United States to maintain the is
landers through their consequent
poverty and suffering. Referring
to the food issued by this Govern
ment to the natives, General Davis
says:
“The natives have become im
bued with the belief that the Uni
ted States is to supply food, re
build their houses and give them
all the necessities af life for an in
definite period. It seems imposs
ible to make them understand that
the'aid was only intended to tide
them over and enable them to le
cover from the great disaster.
They seem indisposed to replant
their craps and when January 1,
1900, arrived, the date which Gen.
Da"is had fixed for discontinuing
food issues), the eeidenceof suffer
ing was so great that I was forced
to recommend its continuance.
The amount of food issued, how
ever, was reduced as far as was
CuilipilllUlC: W lia av.iuai uvi
$850,000 was appropriated for work
that a large number of laborers
might be thus employed and effect
ive aid extended. An aggregate
of 100,000 rations daily is now be
ing issued, however. Should all
applications be considered favor
ably, the issues would amount to
nearly half a million rations each
day, at a cost of $25,000.
“These issues are paupeiizitig
the people and instilling in their
minds the idea that they have only
to refuse to work to be supported
by the government In the opin
ion of Governor Allen, relief sup
plies should not be sent to Porto
Rico in the future and supplies
should be furnished no longer to
the larger and more prosperous
planters, but should be given only
to the smaller planters and to these
for only a short time longer.”
General Davis recommends act
ion according to these views and
accordingly the Secretary of War
has directed him to cease the dis
tribution of rations in Porto Rico
on July 15 and to give early notice
of this intention, so that all citi
zens may understand the necessity
of making other arrangements
than now exist.
SERMON ON FOOT WASHING.
Should It be Observed as an Ordi
nance In the Church 7
Next Sunday morning at the
Baptist church, Rev. Alex W.
Bealer, the pastor, will preach a
sermon on foot washing. His
theme will lie in the nature of a
question “Is Foot Washing an
Ordinance of the Church?” Mr.
Bealer takes the position that it is
tu,t a church ordinance nor is it a
duty for churches to observe the
practice.
He will present the subject from
the bible and will have nothing
harsh or unkind t*o say about those
who have observed the practice.
He will simply present the teach
ings of the bible on the subject to
show any one open to conviction
that Jesus was not establishing a
church ordinance or duty when he
said, “If I, your Lord and Master,
have washed your feet you ought
to wrsh one another’s feet.”
“The more I study this question,”
said Mr. Bealer, in speaking of it
“the more I am convinced that the
bible gives no endorsement to the
churches observing this practice as
an ordinance. I have given the
subject exhaustive study and feel
that I can convince any one that
this is true, if they are open to ar
gument.
The public, especially strangers
n the city, are invited to attend
this service, as well as the evening
service at 8 o’clock.
NEW EMBALMING LAW.
Went Into Effect on Sunday—lt Cor.
cerns M any.
Macon Telegraph.
The new law requiring every
man who practices embalming hu
man bodies to have a license from
the state board went into effect yes
terday, and a great many under
takers will be affected by it. Less
than a hundred licences have been
issued, and it is estimated that
there are fully as many more en
balmers who have been doing bus
iness in the state.
Only two examinations have
been held by the state board up to
this time, one at Macon and the
other at Savannah; both were he'd
in June. When a sufficient num
ber of applications have been sent
in the board will hold another sit
ting to allow' the applicants to un
dergo the examination required,
and those who prove eligible can
get a certificate of license at once.
Unless there is an urgenj; demand
for extra sessions, however, the
board will hold only tw'O meetings
a year. They will consult the in
terests of the greatest number of
applicants when they go to choose
a place for meeting.
Only a very small percentage of
applicants have failed to stand cre
ditable and satisfactory examinat
ions so far, and as the questions at
ked are not intended to catch or
trip applicants, it is not believed
that those who have thus far failed
to go before the board will have
any trouble when they do so.
STRIKE OF MINERS-
Tan Thousand Operatives In Ala
bama—Want Advance.
Birmingham’ Ala , July s—All5 —All
the union miners in Alabama,
about ten thousand suspended work
today pending a settlement of the
wage dispute between them and
the operators.
The old wage contract expired
yesterdaj aid the miners deman
ded 40 per cent raise and otner con
ceisicns. O x e.ators refused the
demand and offered to renew the
old contract which is an advance
of from forty to seventy per cent,
over the one in effect prior to July
1, 1899. This the miners rejected
and today a referendum is being
held at the various mining camps
for the purpose of further instruct
ing the delegates to the state mi
ner’s convention which body will
meet here again tomorrow to act in
accordance w th the new instruct
ions.
Mass meetings at the miner’s
camps today are considering the
scale proposed by the miner’s con
vention and also the offer of the
operators, but it is impossible yet
to say what the prevailing senti
ment is.
Pending these negtiations work
is suspended and it is expected to
remain in that condition until a
settlement is reached.
If tomorrow’s convention reports
that the rank and file support the
demand’s of the file support the de
mandsof the scale committee, gen
eral strike will follow as the oper
ators say positively that they will
not advance wages in the face of
the falling iron market,

Killed by Lightning-
Sugar Valley, Ga., July 2.—Sat
urday afternoon about 2 o'clock a
white man, Bill Brock, was struck
by lightning and instantly killed
at a place called Sheep Pen, about
four miles from here. He and an
other man were plowing, when the
cloud came up, and were only a
few feet 'apart. Strange to say,
however, the other man received
only a slight shock. The horses
were not hurt.

Superior court will convene uext
Menciay. It is Judge Ftie’s in
tention of holding court one week
for the purpose of clearing the
jail and trying such cases as are
set for the first week, and if the
conditions are such as to jeof ard
the interests of the farmer by
continuance, the court will be ad
journed to a future time, probably
about the third Monday in Octo
ber. The judge, however, would
like to hold court two weeks if the
conditions will permit.
All jurors and others whose
presence are required are expected
to be present at the opening, of the
court, except such as have farm in
terests or pressing business such
as requires their personal attention
and such can and will be excused.
Married in Chattanooga-
A quiet home wedding was that
last night which joined in holy
bonds of matrimony Miss Alma
Mountcastle and Mr. Bruce Plum
mer, two well-known young people
of this city. The nuptials were cel
ebrated at the beautiful home of
the bride's mother on High street
8:30 o’clock in the presence of the
relat-ves and a few invited friends
of the contracting parties. Rev.
J. W. Perry performed the cere
mony in a most unostentatious but
impressive manner. There were
no attendants; it was just one of
those quiet home weddings which
are beautiful in their simplicity.
The bride is the charming daugh
ter of Mrs. Mountcastle, an old re
sident and is one of Chattanooga’s
most beautiful young brides. She
only returned to the city a few
weeks ago from college at Marion,
Ala., where she was graduated
with first honor. Mr. Plummer is
a well known employee of the au
ditingdepartment of the Southern
Express c mpany. He is an en
terprising, trustworthy and capa
ble young man, and enjoys the ful
lest confidence of his employers.
Mr. and Mrs. Plummei have a host
of friends who will rejoice in their
happy union. Immediately after
the ceremony the happy couple left
for Highland Park where they will
reside temporarily.—Chattanooga
Times.
The bride is the daughter of the
late Mr. Ed Mountcastle, who was
reared in this city. She is an am
iable and worthy young woman
whose many friends wish her
much happiness.

THE PEACH CROP IN GEORGIA.
The Fruit in the Southern Part of
th® State Not Hurt.
The peach crop in the southern
part of the state has been injured
but little by the recent excessive
rains, and the crop up as far as
Marshallville and Fort Valley has
not suffered materially, says the
Macon Telegraph.
A gentleman who has been
through several big orchards in the
past few days says that the
only fruit that has rotted during
this rainy season is that which has
been bruised in some way and
this is a very small percentage,
The Lady in Gold variety of
peach now makes up the ship
ments being sent from Georgia.
While not as desirable to ship,
these peaches are the most delici
ous the consumer gets from this
state, and they command good
prices. A grower in southwest
Georgia has shipped about 1,500
crates so far and has averaged $1
per crate net profit.
Several cases of alleged dishon
esiy on the part of brokers have
already been reported, and every
precaution is being taken by the
growers to steer clear of the un
trustworthy.
