GRASSY ALL OVER COUNTY
Firacn Busy Since Rain Stopped
Clearing Tbair Crops of Grass.
The rainy seasons that have pre
vailed during the month of June
have been followed by a quick
rrowth of all vegetation, including
grass, and many of the farms have
yrnssy crops, as the soil ha* been
too wet for its eradication. Where
cotton is large this condition is not
serious, but small cotton will be
reriously damaged, as the grass will
get ?uch a grip that it can not be
destroyed without injury to the crop.
The boll weevil Is ulso reported to
be more numerous than last year
and considerable injury will result
from the attack of this insect.
The corn crop is reported to be
th *-oest in several ysar*, and if there
is no disaster the crop will be un
equally fine with an abundance for
applying all farm needs, and some
to spare. People who have traveled
over this section report that the
prospects for corn are better than
they ever saw at this time of year,
as it hay reached a stage where the
KrasK can not do as much harm as
it would do when the stalks are half
grown. The corn on sandy land has
been damaged by too much rain, but
on stiff land it looks flourishing.
AU other crops are reported to
fairly good and the outlook gener
ally is much better than at the same
period last year.

OXFORD DISTRICT CONFER
ENCE WAS HELD IN UTHONIA
ATLANTA, Ga.—That the Geor
gia General Assembly, early in its
session, will take some step to reme
dy the grave situation at the **atc
sanitarium for the insane at Mil-
ledgeville is strongly indicated by
influen
tial members of both houses who
have visited the “city of the insane"
and seen for themselves the fearful
crowding of nearly 5,000 patients
in quarters sufficient for hardly two-
thirds that number.
'If every member of the legisla
ture would pay a visit to the sanita
rium and sec conditions for himself,
the vote would be unanimous for
appropriation sufficient to establish
a separate institution for negro pa
tients; create more room for the
white insane, both
and give the sanitarium a Are pro
tection system which would remove
a most fearful menace, “said
representative this week. “It is true
that all the state institutions need
money, but here is a condition which
positively must be met. There is no
way of avoiding it. To postpone re
lief mighty mean that some fire in
the night at the sanitarium would re
sult in the loss of hundreds of lives.”
lor Hardman, in his inaug
ural message, stressed the need of
improvements a*, the state sanitari
um, and stated that he would deal
later with the subject by definite
recomendntionH. He is familiar with
the situation at MiUedgeville and
knows how serious it has become.
The board of trustees of the sani
tarium will ask the legislature, as
the most feasible method of provid
ing relief, to create a separate sani
tarium for negro insane, to be build
wherever it may be deemed best. The
removal of 1,700 negro patients
would provide room for the white
population.
Unless additional room is provided,
it is pointed out, the sanitarium will
be forced to deny admittance to
further applicants, and thus danger
ously insane persons may become a
burden up on their communities and
perhaps a menace.
The fire protection system and
water supply at the sanitarium i.*
so old and in such poor condition,
that there is constant danger of a
conflagration which might cost the
lives of hundreds of helpless insane
patients. Very little has been spent
upon the sanitarium in many years,
while the population hay grown be-
