2 LEAVING THE COTTON FIELDS. KKGROES PREFBR TO WORK FOH RAILROADS AND OPKIi 4TORS. fenntli Georjtin Karmprs uiml Ollier* Seem to Have a Hard T imp in *tore in Securing Labor—Wane* of 40 and T*o Cent* a Hundred 1 nil to .Attract I'ickPrn Farmer* Have l*onred Out Their Woe* to Secre tary of Stn*o Cook. Atlanta. Aug. 24 Ar.’onlinc to a num ber of letters recently received by Sec retary of State Cook, the farmers of South Georgia are in a '*ad wy for the wont of cotton plchjers. Cotton is opening rapidly, ami few negroes can be found who will agree to pi k it even at 50 cents per hundred pounds. Mr. Cook .ys many people from Lee county have been in Atlanta this week, end they report the same state of affairs. The cotton crop will be much shorter than has been reported, unless 1 abor can be found to pick it, as tiie crop in South Georgia has been damaged materially re ceiwiy. The rust has spread over the big cotton fields, and is causing many of the bolls to drop oft'. The negroes do not like to work in fields where the cotton Is not thick, and can scarcely be induced • o do so at an\ price. Mr. Cook said: “As I paid about two months ago, ail the negroes have left the farms and gone to work for the railroads, lumber camps and turpentine farms. There they get better wages than the farmers are able to pay, and nothing will induce them to return. They are pay ing 40 and 50 cents per hun dred pounds to cotton pickers, and although the average negro can pick from two to three hundred pounds of cot ton a day, they will not work." The farmers in South Georgia are go ing to have trouble this fall, and if the cotton cannot be picked, there is sure fo be a bigger shortage than will be caused by the weather conditions. South Georgia is not the only section of Georgia thai is reporting a scarcity of labor, but from all over the state comes the news that the negroes have left tiie farms and gone to the cities to look for work. MAY GET NO (I,KMFA( Y. Ttie I'nrdonins Bonn! Dijinpprnvrd Sharpe'* Petition. Atlanta, Ga.. Aug. 24.—The Pardoning Board has refused to recommend clemen cy in the case of Herman Sharpe, the Kalb county man, who killed his wife sev eral months ago. An application for com mutation of sentence was filed with the Pardoning Board several days *go. and yesterday morning Hooper Alexander, at torney for Sharpe, appeared before the members of the board and appealed to them to commute the sentence from death to life imprisonment. Sharpe did not claim to be insane or of an unsound mind, but stated that he did not intend to kill his wife. The papers In the case stated that Sharpe's mother in-law was the only eye witness to the killing, and that Sharpe was co-nvicted mainly on her testimony. An attack on the character of the woman was made, and the attorney stated that there were many people who would not believe her on her oath. This was not sufficient evidence, how ever, for the commission to recommend commutation.and the application was sent to Gov. Candler, disapproved. The Gov ernor has come to no decision about the matter and says that it is probable he will not determine what he will do until to morrow. Sharpe will hang on next Wednesday,. Aug. 28, unless the Governor decides dif ferently from the Pardoning Board. ISO STANDING IN COURT. Central Trnut Company Again Rep resented Before Judge Candler. Atlanta. Aug. 24.—Judge Candler an nounced from the Superior Court bench this morning, that th© Central Trust Com pany and the bondholders it sought to protect, has no standing in his court, in the suit hied recently by the company to enjoin the condemnation of the Atlanta Railway and Power Company's tracks of Peachtree street by the Atlanta Rapid Transit Company. He said the bonds were amply secured and were in no danger from the proposed condemnation. After Judge Candler made the announce ment, attorney John B. Goodwin, for the Atlanta Railway and Power Company, filed a cross bill, praying for an order that the street railway company’s name be stricken in the original bill from the defendant side and placed alongside of the plaintiff, the Central Trust Company. The attorney stated to the court that in the event the trust company had no power to raise the question of equity in the court, his client did have the right and wished to exercise it. Attorney Clifford Ander son had no objection to the bill, and Judge Candler granted the order. After an argument of two hours the hearing was adjourned until to-morrow morning. GOVERNOR IS VERY BUSY. Ilcnleged By < alien and Receive* n Great Many Letter*. Atlanta. Ga., Aug. 24-Gov. Cannier Is very busy and will be* until after the ses sion of ihe General Assembly. He is be sieged with callers and u considerable portion of his time is taken up with them. Nearly every day a delegation from some portion of the state calls on the chief ex ecutive to urge the appointment of some one, generally the solicitor or judge of some county court. In addition to call ers, the governor's mail is very heavy with applications for office and letters of recommendation. These, of course, have to be answered So between the two, the governor has but few spare min utes. A great deal of his work is done at the Mansion at night, about the only place where he is free from interruption. The Governor will begin in a few days to prepare hie annual message to tiie Leg islature. There will be some important recommendations this year, and it is said the message will he quite lengthy. LIST OF ALL RBWARDI. Record Mum** Many Have lleen Ask ed by Sheriff* of Lute. Aflama, Aug. 24 —Secretary Hitch of the executive department is preparing a 11st of all rewards paid by the state this year. The amount of rewards paid out by the Governor, each year, is always submitted to the Legislature at the begin ning of the session. During the paj*t twelve months over $3,- 000 has been paid out by the state for the arrest of criminals, and over SIO,OOO In rewards ha* been offered. There is scarcely a day that an application l* not made o the Governor for a reward, and a* they come in with the proper Indorse ment. they are gem-rally granted.

ZfccdA Sa'irUifm\dla NeveiJhsappoMt MONEY FROM COR FOR ATIOWSw Tax-Collector* 4ked Nbont the Taie* in Arrenr*. Atlanta. Aug. 24 —The tax collectors of Fulton. Chatham. Richmond and Floyd counties have been aekrd by Controller General Wright to let him#know imme diately tiie probable amount which will be collected from corporations, which are affected bv the recent decision of the Su preme Court. It is the desire of Mr. Wright to get the amount of money to be derived ffom these sources, so that the tax late ior next year can be fixed. None of the counties have srnt in any money so far, except Fulton, and only a small amount has been received from the tax collector here. It is expected that n large amount of money will be sent in from Fulton, Chatham and Richmond, and the amount received will have considerable to do with lowering the tax rate. It is believed now that the rate can be lowered to $5.20 on the thousand, whether any u<kiitionai money in received or not, ar.d if the corporation tax shows up well, it may be possible to make the rate still lower. Only three counties remain to be heard Lorn. Telfair, Lee and Bartow. These are ihe only noun-ties which have not yet sent in the tax digests, but every county will probably have reported by to-morrow night. DO NOT SYMPATHIZE. Ante llel Ivi ni \egroei Meet In Mnron oil Sept. 25. Macon, Ga., Aug. 24.—The negro confer ence to be held here by the ante-bellum negroes on Sept. 26 will be addressed by Booker Washington.

He symftathizes with Valdosta in the protest she is making against Atlanta'** conduct with reference to the State Fair. He thinks Atlanta has no right to advertise that hers will he a state fair. Capt.

Eatonton, Ga., Aue. 21—The drought was broken in this county by heavy rains yesterday evening: and last night. The rain was accompanied by a terrific wind and thunder storm and the streets* of the town were impassable in places by rea son of broken limbs and fallen trees. The street workers are now busy hauling away the fallen debris. The rain came at an opportune time, but not before the cotton crop was materially damaged. It is estimated that the crop wa cut off one-fourth in this county by the drought. There are some, however, who realize the tendency to always overestimate the damage to crops, and who believe (hat the injury will not reach ?o high a per centage as one-fourth. Besides he ping the cotton crop, the rain was the salva tion of the potato and pea crops. The Puti.am Rifles ha\e rented a com modious armory and will establish read ing looms, hath rooms and a gymnasium. TWO NEGROES ARRESTED. Hut Neither of Them Wo* Identified un the Girl** A*nflnnt. Lyons, Ga., Aug. 24.—1n the case of the negro who entered John McCarthan’s house night before last and attempted an assault on hi* daughter, two negroes were arrested, but no positive proof could be brought against them and they have been released. The negro entered the house through window' and the girl, who was asleep, thought it was one of the children, but soon found it was a negro. The foom being perfectly dark, she could not identify him. She began to ©cream s soon a* she was aware of the situation, and her father, who was watch ing at the depot, came to her relief. A very strange circumstance in connection with the case is that her mother, who was sleeping in the same room, did not awake. She says that when he would scream he would tell her that It was no use, as he had chloroformed her mother. MUM kill) 111 LIGHTNING. A Ijiilv nt CalunilMiM Had a Gln*n < rimbed in Her Hand. Columbus.

Terrible Effect of Hot and Dry Wea ther In the I oluiubin Region. Columbia. S. C., Aug. 24.—Humanity, where not penned up In great cities, may endure twenty-five days without rain, when the official government records show that the lowest maximum recorded during that time was 91 and the lowest minimum 72, but the strain is great and the loss to an agricultural country ap proaches disaster. The records referred to have been re corded here, and are altogether unpre cedented. The strain on the people and the damage to growing crops can he more readily realized when it is stated that for seventeen consecutive days the average maximum temperature in the shade has been 101 degrees, the lowest maximum be ing 98 and the highest 106. And for six consevutlve days the record has been as follows: 102, 102, 106. 104. 101, 102. The highest mean temperature for twenty-four hours has been 91, and the average mean for all points in the state, including the elevated districts, has been £7. All rec ords from one day up have been broken. Until this year only one day in August in eighteen years recorded a temperature of 102. The destruction to cotton has been great, and is estimated all the way from 75,000 to 150,00<) bale*. The smallest figures would represent a toss, at current prices of $3,500,000. Fire would sweep through many hay fields, the grass is so dry. -\shile late corn has turned yellow and wilted. Truck gar dens have perished. Vegetables that usually last till frost falls are already dried up. The combined lost* on other crops is hardly less than on cotton. The effect of the* intense dry heat on cotton is to stop the blossoming and to cause half-matured bolls to burst open. Fields now have the appearance of those In a normal season at the end of September, although the crop is two or three weeks late. Many of the plant*? are dead and leaves have fallen off many. There are no blossoms and so many unmatured bolis are open that the fields are white. General rains would prevent further disaster, but could not repair damage already done. There have been a few scattering thunder showers, with remark able displays of “heat lightning,” light ing the country at night, without allow ing a second’s darkness, for an hour at a time. WAS TRIED AND CONVICTED. XnttlKMT* find Been In Conrt for Hoblting the Mail*. Charleston. S. C.. Aug. 24. —It developed here to-day that B. H. Matthews, whose sudden withdrawal from the race for so licitor of the First Circuit was announced yesterday, was once arrested, tried and sentenced to two years In the peniten tiary on a charge of robbing the United States mails.

He has left Charleston and telegraphed for his family to join him. It is presum ed that he feared his record would be dug up on the next stump, or at the polls next Tuesday. KILLED 111 LIGHTNING.
