PREPARING FOR THE FIGHT.
Dallas Is Getting Kea.ly to Handle the
Corbett*! Itz.iinmon. .Will.
ft
Dallas, Juno 2<i —Tho plans for tho
great amphitheater for the seating of
40,000 people who are expected to wit¬
ness the Corbett-Filztimmons fight,
are about complete. The ground chosou
is two miles from the heart of tho city,
in good walking distance from the
yards of tho Texas Pacific and Central
railroads, along the lines of the former.
Tho Pacific will doubtless run an ac¬
commodation of 25 coaches to relievo
the four street car lines which run to
the grounds.
Dallas lias four firsfclass hotels, ouo
boasting of being the finest in the south,
BO of tho second class, and boarding
houses by tho milo.
The suggestion that John Duffy of
New Orleans, roferoo tho fight is well
received at the headquarters. It is con¬
cent d that he is a perfect master of
prize ring rules and that no fairer man
could have been found in the world.
The story that Corbett will train at
Terrell is not credited hero. Tho
weather in Texas up to the beginning
of October is too hot for that work. He
will doubtlessly be the guest of Presi¬
dent Green for three or four weeks be¬
fore the fight or during October. The
odds are still on Corbett, but the bet by
Green of $3,000 to $2,000 ou him is the
only ouo yet reported.

WILL GO TO HAWAII.
A Schooner to Carry Arm. and Aiuinunl
• ion to iho Ifthiiiuift.
Seattle. Wash., Jntio 20. — The
sehoouer G. W. Watson, which cleared
from this port at tho local 'custom*
office with 575,000 feet of lumber for
Honolulu, intends to take on field
pieces, small arms and ammunition off
Cape Flattery. A large shipment of
arms and ammunition has been ftiade
to the sound by rail and is now either
stored or cached at various points along
tho sound in the vicinity of Everett
and Whatcom, After tho Watson
rounds at Capo Flattery it is said that
she will dump her big cargo of lumber
into the sea aud a largo number of
small sloops and schooners will sail sea¬
ward from the nearby ports named,
bringing the cargo.
After the lumber cargo has gono into
tho waves it is said that she will head
for a small island in tho Hawaiian
group, which has been selected aud is
peculiarly adapted to tho landing of the
contraband cargo. If her plans do not
miscarry, an insurrection may bo ex¬
pected to follow.
A bold scheme is said to have been
unearthed by tho government agents
recently. It is said that some San
Francisco shippers and a woman in
Honolulu who is worth $2,500,000, pro
posed fitting up a schooner at this port
with heavy gnus and small arms, and
then go to a small island in the Ha¬
waiian group aud fortify themselves,
etc.
It was calculated that the strength
of the Royalists and the supposod allies
of cx Queen Lililoukalaui in San Fran¬
cisco would greatly help out tho scheme.
It is also said a certain man in this city,
weliknowu for his fighting ability, was
offered command of the expedition at a
salary of $350 per month. If success¬
ful ho was to h ive a high position un¬
der tho royal government.
MYERS IS GUILTY.
For the Srcon 1 Time the Mnrtlcrer of
Torcat Crowley I» Couvictfd.
Atlanta, June 20.—In the case of
the state against Will J. Myers, charg¬
ed with the murder of Forest Crowley,
the jury brought in a verdict of guilty
without recommendation. This is the
second trial of this case and has lasted
more than a week, having been begun
oil Monday of last week.
The judge finished his charge to the
jury at a late"hour Monday night and
adjourned when court to 9 o’clock Tuesday
morning, the jury wore ready
with their verdict.
The crime, which is yet fresh in the
minds of the public, has attracted more
than usual attention on account of the
brutality of the murder aud tho youth
and previous good character of the mar
derer.
Tho case has been stubbornly fought
on both sides, and in the second trial a
largo number of witnesses wero intro¬
duced to establish the existence of one
Brown Allen, unon whom Myers sought
to lay the crime.
The chances for Myers to escape the
gallows are now very slim.

BULLOCH TIMES.

Much Confusion as to the Pros¬
pects of a Conference.
THE ATTITUDE OF GERMANY
A<t voc.it <s of aa International Agreement
i liink That the L*lr«n?e of Administra¬
tion In Engl m I Will lie lu the lni«r«*ft4
of tHe Movement* ami They Are Very
Much Kiiconr.t"o I,
Washington’, Juno 20. —Thoro is ap¬
parently considerable confusion sis to
tho prospects of an iiiteruafioual con
feruuco to consider tho rehabilitation
of silvor to be called on tho initiative
of Germany. This is duo to tho con¬
flicting reports that have boon recoivod
an l also apparently to tho complica¬
tions of toe question as it preiotits itsolf
in Germany.
Those who have given attotition to
the progress of the agitation in Ger¬
many say tint Chancellor von Ilohou
iohe announced in the beginning that
Germany's action iu tho matter would
depend upon two circuit! tattoos. The
first of those was that the Gorman state
legislature bodies should instruct for
tho issuance of tho cab; and the second
that there should b-* a substantial
agreement among the powers as to the
terms of the call.
The latest report makes it appear
that a majority of tho federal govern¬
ments want the conference and desire
that Germany should issue tho call for
it. It is understood now that accept¬
ing this action on tho part of the differ¬
ent states iu the light of an iustruptiou
tho chaucollor will proceed to negotiate
with the other European powers ns to
the terms of the call.
The United States have made known
their wishes in this respect so far as
file legislative branch of the govern¬
ment can act in the resolution appoint
ing congressional delegates. In* this
resolution provision was made that ritp
United States should bo represented
only iu case the conference should bo
called to provide for a restoration of
bimetallism.
When tho question was before tho
Prussian diet, an effort was made by
Chancellor You Hohcnlohe to amend
the resolution so as to leave out the re¬
quirement that tho call should be on
these lines, but it failed. If tho other
federal German states havo taken the
same position as Prussia, the chancel¬
lor, it is said, will be virtually pledged
to vote Germany for a call on a basis of
a return to the' bimetallic system. It
then remains to be determined vffttethcr
the powers will accopt this basis, and
especially what England may do iu the
premises.
The advocates of an international
understanding feel that tho change of
administration in England will bo in
tho interest of the movement, and they
are, upon the whole, considerably en¬
couraged over tho outlook for another
conference.

Washington, Juno 20 —The assign

now plan practically does away with
tho state agencies, as tho states aro
grouped into districts which only one
state agent will supervise. The present
system of county reports will also be
'Unplaced by ouo providing for a ro
porter in every township and tho two
systems will lie used conjointly, each
acting as a check on the other. Thu

Stand and cultivation throughout tho
state on’y fair, the excessive rains and
cool weather during May having work¬
ed some injury to tho plants. Tho stand
is materially injured on tho gray laud
where it was worked before tho recent
cool weather. Let us hope, however,
that a few hot days will bring about a
great improvement in this crop. Con¬
dition, compared to an average, 83 1 2.
COHN.
Corn is small for the sea oti through¬
out tiie state, but the stands aud condi¬
tion aro good. The cool weather during
May has given it a yellow color, but it
only it needs some warm sunshine to give
the proper color aud start it to grow¬
ing. Iff tho state should bo blessed with
seasonable rains for tho next two
months, Georgia will raise the largest
crop of corn iu her history. Condition
compared to an average, 04
POTATOES.
Potatoes, both Irish and sweet, are
promising flno yields. Tho former of
these crops is already maturing and
furnishing for wholcsomo and palatable
food our people. The prospective
yield of Irish potatoes is 95 per cout.
The tjcrcugo in sweet potatoes, com¬
pared to an average, is 05 1-2. _
MELON'S.
The acreage is nearly the same as
last year. The condition Is not r.o

tiiea- growfli by cool weather, aud in
some cases injured by bugs.
peanuts.
A largo crop of those nuts havo boon
planted, the acreage bo.ug above that
of last year.
TOBACCO.
Tho acreage is not quite as largo as
last year. Tho condition, compared to
an averago, is 89 per cent, 40 per cout
transplanted.
IIOOS AND CATTLE.
There is somo reports of diseases
among the stock throughout tho state,
especially cholera among tho hogs, but
as yet it is not general or very fatal.
FRUIT.
The prospect throughout the state is
still very good for a fino fruit crop,
with the exception of pears. The blight
has attacked nearly all the poar or¬
chards in the lower part of tho state,
and to some extent in middle Georgia.
Tho effects havo boon very serious, and
unless tho disease can be checked tho
poar industry is doomed to destruction.
Some blight oil the applo trees also iff
the same section, but not so serious as
with the pears. Soiqo “yellows” oil
the peach trees in all section of the
state, but not many trees affected as
yet.
Question 4 —I have been using in
my compost about 250 pounds of pea
meal. Does it supply any ammonia?
Could it bo supplied by acid, seed or
common salt? If mixed with green seod,
acid or kainit, would it prevont tho
seed from coming up?
Answer 4.—Pea moal supplies all
three of the essential elements of plant
food, potash, phosphoric acid and ni¬
trogen or ammonia; but its use as a
fertilizer is too expensive. You can
supply these elements iu much cheaper
form. Acid phosphate does not supply
ammonia, but phosphoric acid. Com¬
mon salt would only have a mechanical
effect and add nothing in plant food.
By tho use of kainit, you supply a suf¬
ficient quantity of potash. The cotton¬
seed is your source of ammonia and an
additional quantity would increase that
element. If from lack of vigor in tho
plants under which yon have used your
compost, it is apparent that a very largo
amount of ammonia is demanded, in
order not to reduce the other material
too much you might add dried biood or
cottonseed meal, as they supply am¬
monia iu a more concentrated form than
the cottonseed. A compost mado of cot¬
tonseed, stable manure, acid phosphate
aud kainit, properly cut down and fork¬
ed over, would prevent any danger of
germination. In composting care should
be taken that the ammonia by heating
is not allowed to escape. A series of
experiments conducted at the stato sta¬
tion shows that mixing in the furrow
gives as good results as composting
without the expense of handling and
danger of loss.
If I had the pea meal, I would most
certainly nse it for manure, as it con¬
tains all the principal elements of plant
food, but I would not use it in tho
crude form. I would feed it to my
horses, cows, pigs, etc.; let them work
it up iuto land. the right condition to apply
