THE WEATHER.
CORN IS BADLY DAMAGED
July Opened Very Promising For All
Crops—Valuable Pointers to
Planters by Commissioner.
June has been a very remarkable
month, both for the number of its rainy
days, and for the excessive quantity of
its rainfall, which averaged something
ever ten inches. It is true that in June,
188-1, rain fell in about the same quanti
ty, but not every day. The continuous
downpour of last month caused the far
mers to lose most of the corn planted in
the bottom lands of the rivers and creeks
This area represents in many counties
from one-fourth to one-third of the corn
crop. In some sections, too, a consider
able portion of the upland corn has been
damaged by grass and weeds and the
unavoidable lack of cultivation. Hence
the present outlook points to a corn crop
reduced considerably below our first ex
pectation.
The cotton reports are far from en
couraging. In the first place, the cold
and backward spring retarded the early
growth of the plant to such a degree that
in some sections the cotton had not been
Worked out before the June rains set in.
July opened up with a promise of con
tinued rain, but has, fortunately, chang
ed to clear and warm weather. But
June had left the cotton fields green with
grass and weeds that must be cleared
out within the next ten days, if we would
make a fair drop. Judgment and energy
must now be brought into play. Both
man and beast have had a long rest, en
forced though it was. Now every mo
ment must be utilized to the best advan
tage. If you cannot clean out all your
crop, work your best lauds first. With
ten days of sunshine and judicious work,
from early dawn till late at night, a
mighty change may be wrought, and,
notwithstanding the gloomy outlook, a
-fair) good crop of cotton may be made
in Georgia.
Consider well the plow best suited to
do the most harm to the grass and weeds,
with the least chance of injuring the
roots of the cotton. Consider whether
it is best to work toward the center of
the middles and cover everything up
there, or work toward the drill. Under
present conditions the former is the
better plan. List on the water furrow,
keeping the bar next to the row all the
time, llun carefully and as shallow as
possible. You can cover up most of the
grass, which will thou, after a few days,
die. Then work hack toward the drills.
The grass that is left among the plants
must be pulled out to the middle with
a hoe.
Use the above method only when the
necessities of the situation demands it,
as we prefer the shallow plowing during
this month.
Extra work must be done now to make
up for the time, lost in June. Though
the month of July in ordinary years sees
the growing crops laid by, the farmers
must this year work mast of their crops
until the middle of August.
Forage can now be planted. Peas and
millet can be sown. Prepare the land
well. It is conceded that the value of
the pea crop, as an improver of the soil,
is not lost when the vines are cut off for
hay. Much plant food may be evolved
by turning under the stubble. Plant
now second crop of Irish potatoes.
THE FRUIT CROP.
Though the magnificent promise of
the fruit crop was somewhat discounted
by the June rains, farmers can do much
to utilize eveu the damaged portion of
the crop. Feed to the hogs all fallen or
partly rotten and otherwise decayed
fruit. Market as far as possible the
fresh, ripe fruit and utilize the surplus
by drying or evaporating. Remember
that evaporated fruit commands higher
prices than the sun-dried. For sun
drying the best cheap dryer is made by
using a frame of light strips of plank 1
inch thick by 2 inches wide. Let the
frames be 6 feet by 3 feet, covered with
white cloth. These frames will cost but
a trifle and are much better every way
than boards or plank.
Sweet potato slips set out by the mid
dle of the month make good potatoes for
winter and spring use. They also keep
well, and perhaps better than those
planted earlier. Open hole, insert slip,
and place just enough dirt to cover the
roots, pour iu a teacup of water aud fill
hole with loose dirt, but don’t press it to
the plant. Then draw the earth up around
thorn to retain moisture and keep heat
of sun from the roots.
You can get ice now at one-cent
a oound from F. F. Hammond.
Approaching Nuptials.
Cards are out announcing the ap
proaching nuptial ceremonies of Mr.
Frank M. Appleby and Miss Cassie
Belle Harris, at the Baptist Church
at Knoxville, Ga., on August Ist, 1900.
The young people has our congratula
tions in advance, and Miss Tattler
says she didn't think Frank would do
her that way, but if the lady can make
anything out of him she has her best
wishes.
Full Pardon Granted.
Capt. McP. Farr, of the Waycross
Rifies was up last Sunday, and we ex
pect him here again to-day, because
Mrs. Farr is here and of-course he is
allowed the freedom of the city on her
account.
The captain has a forgiving spirit,
and having seen the Breeze’s retrac
tion of .he hog killing, in behalf of the
Rides, said the Breeze was forgiven
in full and totd up to date. This gra
cious amnesty was doubtless attribu
table to the fact that Mrs. Farr was
present, however, the bull dogs- of war
are mszzled and the blood has all been
wiped off the moon.
Good Carpenters Nice work.
Since the children up at our palatial
mansion have gotten the fool idea in
their heads that they must marry to
be happy, and some of them have, our
land-lady who darns our sorrows and
patches our joys, has been wanting to
"visit, visit, move around you know.”
Our house was small, and she couldn’t
move much, but we caught an {idea,.
She has lived in the south-east corner
room all the time, so we tore down a
little .Bxl4 room on the north-west
corner and built a 14x17 room, airy,
nicely finished and one of the pret
tiest, best constructed in the whole
city. Now, when she wants to "visit
or move around some,” we invite her
to take a trip from the south-east to
to north-west corue/'.
We are one peg a/iead of the old girl
yet. and she’ll have to sit down and
study up some other excuse to g-et
away from home.
Messrs. W. B. Owens, Ira T. Smith
and J. W. Marshall are the carpenters
that did the work, and it is as good as
any men can do, mater'al Considered.
The Bicycle Nuisance.
The Breeze has called the attention
of the mayor and council to the dan
gers attending bicycle racing and
the reckless riding on the main streets
of the town, but no prohibitory meas
ures have been adopted to abate the
nuisance save the direction for bicy
clists to regard the rights of pedes
trians, which amounts to nothing at
all.
Ladies contemplating a trip down
townjdo so with dread because of the
reckless bicycles, and we know of one
or two instances where parties have
had narrow escapes from being struck
bv wheels while on such trips.
We also know of an instance where
a merchant, who pays his taxes to
run his business, has been struck
twice or three times during the past
ten days, while sitting under his own
awning in front of his door.
Now. the fact of the business is
this, bicycles were invented for exer
cise and to curtail the uses and ex
penses of a horse, and the place for
a horse is on the street, not on side
walks. Side walks are made for pe
destrians. not vehicles and animals.
If not. why not have streets graded to
the doors and do away with the extra
expense of throwing up side walks.
There are a number of men and
young boys who use these wheels on
the side walks that are careful and
respectful —not dangerous, but then
there are others that, mounted on a
cheap wheel imagine they are mina
ture locomotives, with right-of-way
over all obstacles, and everything
must clear the track.
If bicyclists must ride, and are so
disposed, a contribution of a few dol
lars each will make a four foot path,
on the outside of the side walk down
the main streets, and then there will
be no danger.
We have nothing against the use of
the bicycle or those who use them, but
the facts set forth cannot be denied.
JEWELkY A STABLE.
Look at the next ten people you meet
and see how much is worn of the now
called jewelry. From a $500.00 watch
chain to a five cent stick pin. Yes,
jewelry has come to be a staple article
of dress. You will buy more or less of
it; see that you get what you pay for
when you buy. You can be sure of
this if you will buy of Young A Har

The 25th day of July woof will
be looked upon in retrospective
glances as the day that marked an
era in social intermingling of
friends, neighbors and relatives in
a “day off” by the people of this
entire section.
It is not often that a grand suc
cess can be brought about in'so
short a time for preparation, only
five days, but when Coffee county
undertakes anything it must suc
ceed. The promoters, Knights of
Pythias of Broxton and Douglas,
and their lady friends, wives,
mothers and daughters vied with
each other in their attempts at suc
cess, and the consequence was
natural, as is always the case when
“tender hands, bright eyes and
loving hearts,” are moving with a
common impulse.
The Knights of Broxton and
Douglas Picnic was a grand success,
and an occasion of which they
need be proud, and so is the Breeze.
Free hacks were moving frm
early in the morning until late at
bight, carrying ami bringing peo
ple to and from the pavilion and
Spring. Some eanve in on the
train Tuesday evening and otbets
came through the country in ve
hicles from our neighboring towns,
ali bent on a day of pleasure, and
they had it; so did the Breeze.
The Carter Sisters, Cornet and
String Ochestra, of Willacoochee,
opened their musicale with that
stirring strain that causes men to
shout and women’s hearts to palpi
tate, “Dixie,” and from then un
til night they tilled the air with
sweet strains that- tickled.the ear
and caused the foot to become un
ruly. It was so with the Breeze.
Broxton came up on the north
east side of the Spring and poured
a solid stream of baskets filled with
grub and goodies across Seventeen
mile creek until near i o’clock,
while Douglas from the south west
rolled boxes, baskets, barrels and
packages across Twenty-mile creek
until we had to mount couriers on
horses and send them like a streak
of lightning back over the country
and town to “let up, let up. for
mercy sake and save something at
heme for the next time, and the
Breeze!”
Col. C. A. Ward opened tlie
trouble about ii o’clock, by a
speech, in which he declared lie
had been selected to extend a wei
come to the people because he was
the best looking man in the crowd.
It was not disputed for the sake of
harmony, but every one knew hel
ler for the Breeze man was present.
Shortly after i o’clock two ta
llies leading from away oil out in
the yard, some distance apart,
coining together near the steps on
east side of pavilion were groaning
under the weight o& good things,
sweet things, sour things, and other
things were uncovered and the
crowd became uneasy, and Tom
Young, Levi Osteen, C. A. Ward,
Jr., W. A. J. Smith and some
others prepared to lead an attack
on the whole busine’ss, and the
Breeze was there. ,
As our space is limited it will be
impossible to give aj lull list oi
casualities, hut the onslaught was
terrific, llie clusli of cutting instru
ments, the occasional pop of bot
tled artillery soon had the table
strewn from one "end to the other
with torn, slashed and tent members
of the cptpbatoutables. it is c-ti
mafed that over four hundred dined
at the tables, while more than a
hundred and fifty ate from private
! baskets.
Our spac.e is full, and vve shall
•publish “MKs Tattler's Notes on
i the Picnic” next week. Site was
; there, and said she would be laid
!up for repairs for a week after
i such a conflict with so much grub
j and the boys who wanted her to

In this age the illiterate man is
at a greater disadvantage than ever

that the man or woman who has
not: had intellectual training finds
it difficult to accomplish much.
'Fhecitizens of Douglas will have

Letter From Commissioner Lott.
Just as we went to press last
week a letter from Com. J. S. Lott
was received, which will be found
in another place to-day. It is in
reply to an article published in is
sue of the Ljth, and is very inter
esting. it tells us a number of
facts not bef ore known, and which,
we rather expect will be news to
our readers. We are quite certain,
as we said before, that the commis
sioners have acted in this matter
with an eye to the interest of the
people, and we only feared that
in a matter of economy the jail
was to be too small for the county’s
needs in future, and the cells insuf
ficient for the present.
The letter referred to explains
everything completely, and as our
article caused it to be >vrote, and
we made no strictures upon any
one, we are glad the subject lias
been ventilated. From Com. Lott’s
letter we are inclined to think the
building will be a very creditable
one, if the contract is carried out
to the letter.
