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. ‘July, 1927, of this court: Dorman Hardy, J. E. Chandler, E. S. Vinson, P. M.

The Methodist churches of Mil- ledgeville and Baldwin county fared at the Oxford District Confer- in the election of delegate* to the annual conference, which as semble in Atlanta in November.

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- NEGRO boy shoots and KILLS HIS YOUNG BROTHER Eight Year Old Bov Accidentally Discharges Weapon Fatally.

At the dinner hour, while they were resting the two smaller boys began playing with and while in the hands of the younger it was discharged. The parents were near by at the time. $10,000 ACCIDENT POLICY OFFERED TO SUBSCRIBERS Subscription to Union Recorder and Big Policy for $2.50 Big Offer.
