iCORN IS BADLY DAMAGED
•July Opened Very Promising For Alt
Crops— Valuable Pointers to
Planters by Commissioner.
i"
Juno has hoon a very remark ah'! o
‘Tnouth, both for the number of its rainy
days, and for the excessive quantity o1
'tfts rainfall, which averaged somethin;;
'lover ten inches. It is true that in June,
|lS84, min fell in about tho, same quanti¬
ty, but not every day. Tho continuous
(downpour of last month caused tho far¬
mers to lose most of tho corn planted in
“the bottom lands of the rivers and creelts
'This area represents in many counties
Ifrom one-fourth to one-third of the corn
forop. In some sections, too, a consider¬
able portion of tho upland corn has been
damaged by grass and weeds and the
Unavoidable hick of cultivation. Hence
the present outlook points to a corn crop
Seduced considerably below our first ex-
■jioctation.
The cotton reports are far from en-
teouraging. In the first place, the cold
tend 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 qp with a promise of con¬
tinued rain, but has, fortunately, chang-
ted to clear and warm weather. Bij.1
• June had left the cotton fields green with
grass and weeds that must be cleared
• out within the next ten days, if wo would
snake a fair crop. Judgment and energy
must now he brought into play. Both
man and beast have had a long rest, en¬
forced though it was. Now every mo¬
ment must bo utilized to the best advan¬
tage. If you cannot clean out all youi
crop, work your best lands first. With
ten days of sunshine and judicious work,
from early dawn till late at night, s
mighty change may lie wrought, and,
notwithstanding tho gloomy outlook, a
: fairly good crop of cotton may be made
in Georgia.
Consider well the plow best suited tc
do the most harm to the grass and weeds,
"With tho least chance of injuring the
roots of the eotton. Consider whether
it is best to work toward tho cantor of
the middles and cover everything
therc, or work toward the drill. Under
present conditions the former is the
better plan. List on the water furrows,
keeping the bar next to tho row all the
time. Kan carefully and as shallow as
possible. Yon can cover np most of tho
grass, which will then, after a few days,
die. Then work back toward the drills.
The grass that is left among the plauts
must- be pulled out to tho middle with
-a hoe.
Use the above method only when the
necessities of the situation demands it,
ns we prof or the shallow plowing during
' this month.
Extra work must be done now to make
Tip for the time lost in June. Though
-if,he month of July in ordinary years sees
$ho growing crops laid by, the farmers
'.must this year work most of their crops
’ until the middle of August.
Forage can now be planted. Peas and
’.millet e&u be sown. Prepare the land
’-well. It is conceded that the value ol
: the pea crop, as an improver of the soil,
•is not lost when the vines aro out off for
iiay. Much plant food may be evolved
’-by turning under the stubble. Plant
■ ; now second crop of Irish potatoes.
THE FRUIT CROP.
'Tlrougb tho magnificent promise oi
‘the fruit crop was somewhat discounted
'"by the June rains, farmers can do much
'to utilize even the damaged portion of
the crop. Peed to the hogs all fallen ot
(.partly rotten and otherwise decayed
(’fruit. Market as far as possible the
■^resli, ripe fruit and utilize the surplus
%y drying or evaporating. Remember
fthat 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 hy 3 inches wide. Let the
' frames ho 6 feet hy 3 feet, covered with
' white -cloth. These frames will cost hut
- a trifle and. are much better every way
-than boards or plank.
Sweet potato slips set out by the mid-
‘-die 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 in a teacup of water and til!
thole with loose dirt, hut don’t pross ittc
the plant. Then draw tho earth up around
them to retain moisture and keep heal
of sun from the roots.
Rutabagas should be sown this month
in well prepared soil. Plow and harrow
-and harrow and plow and rake until the
land is in fine tilth. Tho turnip needs
(nitrogen, potash and ptiosphorie acid.
Plow in a' liberal quantity of lot manure
•and in planting put in the drills with
'the seed a small quantity of commercial
fertilizer. Press the seed in bottom oi
shallow drills and cover lightly. PLul
tap to middle of August.

FLED WITH A GIRL.
Tho Story of a Decptoln Practiced
Neff Tiftcn.
Tifton, Ga., July 11 .—A ease for
the whipping post occurred near Tif¬
ton this week,some of the parties be¬
ing weiiknown citizens of this sec¬
tion. It is not yet settled,hut those
most interested seem disposed to
leave tho guilty ones to be dealt
wit lias the law directs, so there
will probably bo no further trouble.
For some time past, a young man
giving his name as J. W. Dorminy,
and claiming to be from Fitzgerald,
' i:th boarding "Jo Mi. L • H-
Bowen, a farmer who lives about
five miles from Tifton. Dorminy
was an employe of a sawmill firm
near by, and hauled logs for them.
Mr. Bowen has a pretty daughter,
Miss Doeia, just budding into wo¬
manhood, ami to this young lady,
Dorminy soon began paying court.
There seemed to be no objection
to the young man, and for a while
the course of true love ran smooth.;
they became engaged, and the day
for the wedding was set.
Last Saurday, Mr. Bowen took
his daughter in the buggy with him
and started to Tifton, where she was
to make a few purchases to complete
her wedding outfit. On the way, lie
was overtaken by Dorminy, also in
a buggy, who asked that the young
lady might ride with him. At first
Mr. Bowen refused, but later con¬
sented, and the young couple soon
dropped behind. Arriving at Tif¬
ton, he waited awhile for them, and
they failing to appear, he set out to
search for them. They bad not’been
seen at home,and he failed to find any
trace of them that day. Sometime
next day, ho found they had spent
the night with a gentleman a few
miles south of Tifton, where they
claimed to have been married.
Mr. Bowen failed to find any one
who had married them, or any one
who had granted them a license.
Later hc.found where they had board¬
ed the southbound Georgia South-
ern train, and next day Mr. J. C.
Young, a friend of the family,
found them in Valdosta, boarding
with Mr. J. M. .Emerson, and claim-
ing to bo man and wife. Dorminy
had obtrined work at a saw mill
near town.
When questioned, the young wo¬
man said with a shower of tears,
that they had not been married;
that Dorminy had asked her to elope
with him to be married that day:;
had claimed to be unable to find any
one to perform the ceremony, and
finally brought her to Valdosta for
the purpose of getting some one to
mar ry them; that arriving there, he
first claimed to be unable to find a
minister or magistrate, and later
put her off from day to day on first
one excuse and than another, at last
threatening to kill her if she told
they were not married.
Mr. Young had Dorminy arrested
and lodged in jail, and brought the
girl home to her parents, In the
meantime, among Dorminey’s el-
foots, letters had been found from a
woman claiming to be his wife, and
begging him to return to her; also
letters from a young woman, asking
him how long before he would ob¬
tain his divorce and marry her as
he had promised. The case appears
to be an aggravated one, and Mr.
Bowen says he will prosecute the
matter to the extent of the law.
After many intricate expernients,
scientists have discovered methods
for obtaining all the natural diges-
tants. These have been combined in
the projection found in the human
body and united with substance
that buildup the digestive organs,
making a compound called Kodol
Dyspepsia Cure. It digests what
yon eat and allows all dyspeptics to
eat plenty of nurshing food while
the stomach troubles are being rad-
ically-cared by the medical agents
it contains. It is plesout to take and
will give quick relief. R. B. Allen
& Co.
Mr. J. A. Campbell, of Morvon,
was married to Miss Rena J ordon, of
Mincola, formerly of Quitman, on
Wednesday, the ceremony being
performed at the home of the bride.
The groom is one of the most prom¬
inent young farmers in Brooks
county and the bride is a very at¬
tractive young woman.—Valdosta

Mortal Man.
When a man disputes with a fool
the fool is doing the same thing.
Kino out of ten men who .become
thoroughly contented have outlived
their usefulness.
When a man begins to bo his own
worst enemy his fool friends assist
him.
Every man is anxious to help his
neighbor when he doesn’t need it.
11 hurts almost any man to see an¬
other man marry a right pretty girl.
According to an old bachelor, fe¬
male suffrage is caused by scarcity
of husbands.
Some men are about as much benefit
to a community as a last years al¬
manac.—Ex.

Says tho Philadelphia Record:
“This vast, rich republic spent in
the last fiscal year for administra¬
tive purposes nearly half ahillion of
dollars— $486, 7-5 9,171. It collected
from all sources $568,988,948. W ar
revenue taxes yielded $296,299,388,
while customs revenues under the
oppressive Dingley tariff schedules
were $233,857,958. The net result
of government fiscal operations dur¬
ing the twelvemonth was to put
$81,229,777. of surplus into the pub¬
lic treasury—to be squandered
after, no doubt, in reckless schemes
of public extravagance. Practically,
this large surplus is available as a
corruption fund to keep the admin¬
istration in power. The people are
taxed too much.”

In a large order like that which
Barnhart Bros. & Spincller recently
received from the Government
Printing office, there are some in-
j teresting figures to be made, Thns
1 in the 100,000-pound font of !0-point
j there are 0,440 pounds of low-case
j e’s alone.; reckoning 471 of these
letters to the pound, there are
3,014,400 letters, and this number
of e’s laid end to end would extend
43 miles. The 100,000 pounds con-
tain 40,8000/000 individual type,
and these laid eud to end would
reach 691 miles. The font if set
into 13-em measure, solid, would
make a column 3 j miles long; if
leaded with 2-poiiit leads, 4 miles
long. One man would, on one ma¬
chine, work nearly four months
steadily in casting the lower-case e’s.

The hysterical primary fever that

people needs lots of explanation.

Enterprise. If there has been any
1 “hysterical primary fever” in Irwin
I this year, we have failed to discover
it. There has been considerable
talk, jiro and con, upon the subject,
but the talk has been calm and cool,
and those who did the talking were
men of influence in both business
and politics, and had in view the
good of the county and party in all
that they said. The people need no
explanation, for they did the talk¬
ing. As stated before by the Dis¬
patch, the question of primary or no
primary rests with the county ex¬
ecutive committee, and whatever
that committee does will go. There¬
fore, silly insinuations and warped
innuendoes are out of order.
