An imposing story was printed a
few days ago to the effect that the lit

Mr. Bryan's Madison Square Garden

#“While in New York recently at the
reception of Mr. Bryan I met demo
crats from all over the country, and
have never seen them more determin
ed, earnest and hopeful.
“Mr. Bryan will take part in the
campaign, and will speak where he
can do the most good for the party.”
‘Secretary Edwards also contributes
his quota as follows:
“The alleged interview with me is
incorrect and urauthorized. I knew,
of course, that the literary bureau had
not been closed, but I had no inter
view or conversation with anyone
either upon the subject of Mr. Bryan
or the operations of this committee.”’

A Valiant Contederate Veteran and
Good Man Passes Away.

CITY BUYS HOUSE.
Pays $375 for One in Which to Store
Oil and Waste.
The council committee t 0 wihch was
referred the matter of providing a
place in which to store oil and waste
at the pumping station and light plant
has bought from Mr. C. H. Peddy for
that purpose a house and lot adjoin
ing the city’s property. The price to
be paid is $375.
Alderman H. A. Petty, who is a
member of the committee, opposed the
purchase, saying that a building suit
able for the purpose for which one is
needed can be built on the city’s lot
for $75 or $lOO. He has stated that he
will make a minority report to th
council.
$17,500 for his crop, while many have
marketed their crops at from $l,OOO to
$5,000. One day last weck more than
four hundred loads of leaf tobacco
were delivered to the packing houses
of the Cohn Tobacco Syndicate at
Amsterdam, twelve miles south of
Bainbridge.
PLANTERS ARE PESSIMISTIC
Georgia Cotton Crop Is Very Poor
Worms Are Doing Vast Damage in
Terrell and Other Counties.
801 l worms, which devastate the
bolls of cotton just before they open,
are reported to be wreaking much
damage in the southern part of the
state. Already a large per cent of the
crop which remains from the brown
rot and army worms is reported to
have been ruined.
In Terrell, Lee, Sumter and Worth
counties the injury is said to be un
usually large, and there are no evi
dences of the pest being removed this
seasou. The worms are entirely dif
ferent from the boll weevil, as the in
sects lay their eggs in the cotton bolls,
which are stung and eaten by the
worms when they are hatched from
the deposits.
The planters are quite pessimistic
over . the crop for this season, the
brown rot, army worms and boll
worms producing havoc that will, in
connection with the unfavorable
weather conditions, make the crop a
short one, and in many sections a
scanty one.
In speaking of the crop conditions
State Agricultural Commissioner Hud
son says the crop is deteriorating rap
idly, and that it will be a short crop
this year. It isnot expected that the
average for the state will be over 65
per cent at the most optimistic view.
DIGGING THE BIG DITCH.
Workmen Busy on the Canal That
Will Carry Off City's Sewage.
Charley Carter, to whom the con
tract was let by the city council to dig
the big ditch that will carry off the
city’s sewage, is hard at work with a
force of bands, and is making the dirt
fly in a way to make Uncle Sam’s dig
gers in Panama green with envy
could they see it, The work was be
gun at the Nixon pond south of Daw
son, and the diggers are coming
north to the city.
It will take several months in which
to complete the canal. It will be two
miles long, and will cost the ¢ity about
$4,000.
When two strong men come to blows,
even if they are well matched, it is not
a pleasing sight, but if the man who
gets the worst of it will use DeWitt’s
Witch Hazel Salve, he will look bet
ter and feel better in short order. Be
sure you get DeWitt’'s. Good for
everything a salve is used for, includ
ing piles. Sold by Dawson Drug Co.
