W. J. Stoddard, proprietor of 8tod-

ibout the head and arms late Thurs-
lay ufternon by an explosion of gas-
»llne.
Max Alexander, colored, who was

yurned on the face and arms. Asalat-
tnt t'hlef Prcssly of the fire depart*
nent was severely burned on the face
ind hands while fighting the fire. Mr.
Stoddard was taken to the Grady Hos

joy Is unaccounted for.
Mr. Stoddard and the negro was
rlennlng a silk skirt In the rear of the

FULL 25 PER CENT
Rain, Wind, Lice and Grass Com-
bine To Do Big Damage to
Growing Crop.
“The cotton crop In Georgia has been
damaged not less than 25 per cent hy
the heavy rain, wlnda and cool weather
of the past few days.*'
So stated Commissioner of Agrlculr
ture T. G. Hudson Thursday morning,
Continuing, Commissioner Hudson
said:
"In south and middle Georgia the
damage will be much heavier than It)
north Georgia. TerrWc rains fell over
that area, and beat the plant to the
ground. Some time ago considerable
areas of cotton were practically ruined
by lice, and fields had to be replanted.
“Then aome fair, wamt weather
came along and stopped the ravages of
the lice—nothing but hot aunwhlne and
warm nlghta will kill them. With a
reoeurrence of cloudy, cool weather the
lice wilt reappear.
“And still another condition Is to be
taken Into consideration. The continu
ed rains In the early part of May made
It Impossible for farmers to work their
crops. The grass got a big start on
them, and If the present conditions pre
vail long, grasa will again take posses
sion of the fields.
"From reports I have received the
rain in south Georgia this week has
been extraordinarily heavy, and, com
bined* with high winds, great damage
has been wrought to all growing crops.
Com has been blown flat, but of course.
If plenty of hot sunshine comes along a
great deal of It will right Itself. I be
lieve It Is a conservative estimate now
to state that the cotton crop has been
damaged 25 per cent.”
Colonel O. B. Stevens, of the TV'. 1 road
commission, says that the high winds
blew down a large number of hla fruit
trees, and that some damage was done
by the washing rains.

tip took her at her word, and promptly
left the houee, 1 Louise street.
An the hours passed by and Lancas
ter fulled to return, the young wife
began to brood over her remark, and
•t ' o'clock had become desperate, de
termining to end her life. To accom
plish this rash deed, she swallowed-a
portion of the contents of a bottle of
laudanum.
■Shortly afterwards, she Informed a

fatal dose, nnd It was only a short
time until her system had been freed
of the poison. She had recovered her
normal condition Thursday, and was
able during the day to return to her
liume.
Dinner Wain't Ready.
The young bride says she was India-
pined Wednesday, and that her hue-
land ijuan-cled with her because she
dill not hove hie dinner prepared when

afternoon. She says he threatened to

Informed by the physicians that she
had taken too much of the drug to
kill her.
Remembering this statement, and
desiring to profit by It, the young
woman, when she again tried suicide
Wednesday night, swallowed only a
small quantity of laudanum. She mis
judged the poison again, however, for
she soon found she had not taken
enough.
When seen Thursday morning, Mru.
Lancaster, with her pretty brown locks
falling In confusion about her head
and fare, smilingly remarked:
“I am done with poison and attempts
at suicide. I have failed twice, and
am going to quit. It’a all nonsense,

I'm not going to try It any more."
The Young Bride Talks.
In answer to questions aa to the
cause that prompted the attempt of

It waa the unanimous feeling,
at the tax ordinance meeting
Wednesday among the liquor
men that a prohibition cam
paign was only a fenture In the
fight between retail and whole
sale men and that In reality It
wae wanted by none of them.
Attorney Llgon Johnson, for the
wholesale men, declared that his
clients wanted to continue bus

hibition was all bosh. The at
torney for the opposition did not
see fit to contradict this state

Vacillation was again shown Wed
nesday afternoon at a meeting of the
tax committee of council when the It
cense for wholesale liquor dealers, sell
Ing from one quart up to five gallons,
was raised from 1200 to 1400, and all
wholesalers were put In this single
class. The committee held session from
1 o’clock until t In the mayor's par
lors, where were crowded some thirty
wholesale and retail liquor man. with
their attorneys. Ths first move of the
Committee some wseks ago was to In
crease the liquor license to 1600. tn
round! the committee asked to with
draw this ordinance, so that the license
should be the same as previously. It
was referred back to committee and the
llcenee restored. Then came the change
made Wedneaday.
Startling Allegatlona.
The meeting Wednesday wnS charac
