10:30 o'clock Thursday night by the

TO HAVE CONTROL
OF SAVINGS BANKS
Movement Started in Chicago
Will Be Voted on by At
lanta City Council.
Because of the numerous bank fait
urea throughout the country a move<
mem haa been started by tha Chicago
Chamber of Commerce to establish a
system of postal savings banks In tho
United States, and It Is probable that
the city council of Atlanta will pass
resolutions at Its next eeaslon helping
along the movement.
Tift resolutions which have been
drjiwn up are as follows:
"Whereas, repeated failures of aav
Inga banka Involving the small savlnga
of wage-earners and others have dent'
onalrated the necessity of a ayatem by
which such savings can be made ab
solutely secure: and,
"Whereas, this question 'has been
solved In other countries by the Insti
tution of postal savings banks which
have proved to be effective In eneour
aging thrift and economy among tha
people. It la hereby
’Resolved, That we favor the estab
llshment of the postal savings banks In
the United States and urge upon can
greas tha speedy enactment of the nec
esaary laws for this purpose."
In a communication on the subject to
Ihe city council. Chairman Julius Gold
star, of the committee In charge nf
Ihe movement, says In Great Britain
alone there are 9,000,000 depositors In
the postal savings hanks and over
3700,(00,000 on deposit.
The communication contains such
splcey sentences as the following:
“Care nf Ihe small savings nf the
people Is a proper function of the gov
ernment," and 'The man who en
trusts his government with the money
saved out of his wages takes an In

Referring to the above afflduvlt. I

Aa la required of me, aa secretary of

1. The registration Hat I Instructed

3. The board of managers and clerks

whereas three were returned. Mistake
No. 3. There Is, we are told, luck
odd numbers, and I am sorry the board
overlooked this In their affidavit.
4. I carefully Instructed tfiat both

both In the supply box. Mistake No.
5. I explicitly Instructed that one

When I delivered to Manager

him and through him the remaining
officials of his precinct. I asked him
If everything passed off smoothly, as
I asked all the managers present. He
said everything passed off all right.
If he had been Inconvenienced by
shortage of ‘’official ballots," why did
he not complain at that time? Mis
take No. 3. 1 would have Immediately
opened the supply box In hie presence
and he certainly would have discov
ered the unused ballots.
9. The board of managers and clerks
swear In their affidavit that no unused
ballots were returned. The seal, as
has been attested by affidavit, was un
broken when Messrs. Glass, Boschs
and myself examined the supply box
returned by Manager Heart!. The su|
ply box waa opened and twenty-elgl
unused ballots were found. Not hav
Ing euperhuman vision, I can not ex
plain why the unused ballote were In

put In before sealing the box. The
twenty-eight unused ballots wars and

I respectfully submit that In view

It a wonder that the gentlemanly affl

I have no harsh criticism for tha

the Reason for His
Dismissal.
Patrolman George F. Jones waa dis
missed from the police force Thursday
night nt a meeting of the police board,
after a trial which continued from 7
o'clock until midnight. Tho charges
brought against Jones some time ago
by Patrolman Bhaw were In subetance
that Jones had taken whisky and other
articles from stores found open on his
beat.
Tha charge aa specifically declared
by the board In Its verdict was neglect
of duty In falling to protect exposed
property of cltlaena coming under his
rare and for falling to report unoffleer-
llke conduct of a brother ofilcer.
The evidence brought out In the
trial tended tn show that a number of
policemen had a habit nf drinking on
duly and several charges were made
against Bhaw by Jones. The latter
expressed the belief Hist Shaw had
brought the original rharges against
him through revenge follow las a quar

Bhaw testified that Jones found n
door open In Wall street and called

left tha room a moment and when he
returned two of the bottles were gone.
He afterwards discovered them In a
barrel In the alley. He did not know
positively that Jones placed them there.
Jones charged that Shaw had com*
out of a wholesale whisky house that
night and had told him that he had
taken two drinks ami had been asleep.

hour after the session was called to
order, things dragged along, but when
Washington came In he took active
charge, and In a few quietly spoken
words changed the trend of the whole
meeting, which took on new life. The
speeches were cut from twenty jnlnutes
to ten or less, and Instead of long
typewrlten communications short, crisp
Impromptu speeches were the order of
the day, which were more to the point
and better appreciated by the hear
ers.
The session was devoted to the dis

In a five-minute talk Charles Banks,
cashier of the negro bank at Mound

was first formed, and of the early
struggles for existence. He referred to
the bank as “one of the many Insti

have been chartered by Governor Var-

of the race, but because they had made

COTTON BOLL 00T
APPEARS IN MANY
GEORGIA FIELDS
Fungus Growth Over Wide Mid
dle State Area—Will
Cut Crop Down.
An already short cotton crop In
Georgia will be made stilt shorter by
the prevalence In certain sections of
cotton anthracnose or boll rot. *
First reporta of the anthracnose
came from Flovllla, In Butta county,
and Assistant Entomollglst A. C. Lew
is Went there to moke an lnveatlga
tlon. Since then aamplea of the bolls
no affected have been received by En
tomologist Smith from Byron, Houston
county, Bnnderuvlle, Washington coun
ty, and from Emanuel county, indlcat
Ing Its prevalence through the middle
section of the atate.
When reporta flrat came in of the
disease planter* feared It was the
deaded boll w’eevll, but careful lnves
ligation shows that no boll weevil or
other cotton Ineect* infested the field*.
Mr. Lewis* report on the disease at
Flovllla, and the manner In which It
Is to be combatted will prove of great
Interest. to farmers. Entomologist
Hmlth say* that the excessive rains are
largely responsible for the boll rot.
Exists in Many Fields.
1 visited a number of cotton fields
around Flovllla and found the disease,
cotton anthracnose, present In every
one to a greater or less extent. In one
field of fifteen acres we failed to find
a single stalk of cototn free from the
disease. Many stalks had from one tp
three bolls diseased, and some aa high
as seventeen bolls. A few stalks had
every boll affected. In many of the
fields from 5 to 10 per cent of the bolls
were found to be dloeased. From par
ties around town it was also learned
that many fields around In the county
were affected to a greater or less ex
tent In the same way.
”Cotton anthracnose Is a fungous
disease that works mainly on the cot
ton bolls, causing them to rot and de
cay. In other words, tt Is caused by a
parasitic plant, of a low order, growing
on the cotton bolls. This parasite, like
other plants, requires certain weather
conditions for Its best development.
These ideal weather conditions we
have had this summer, In the wet
weather, so that a disease which has
hitherto done only slight damage. In
small areas, has this summer done
more dAmage than usual.
“Cotton anthracnose first appears on
the bolls as a small round speck, that
looks like a pin puncture. This spreads
In every direction until some times the
whole boll Is covered. This speck Is
nt first dark, then It anon becomes
pink around the edges and Is covered
with a white fungus. As soon as the
fungus reaches the cotton In tho boll
It spreads very rapidly and the cotton
soon turns black and rots. This hap
pens very often when the diseased
spot Is not larger around than a lead
pencil. Inscct* no doubt help spread
the disease fr.om one stalk to another.
But what Insect was spreading it In
this case we were not able to discover.
How to Fight It.
•From the nature of the disease
nothing can be done now to check It
this summer, but there are a few points
which. If carried out by the cotton
planters, may greatly reduce the dis
ease next year.
1. Ae the fungus causing the dfs-
e gets on the seed, no seed should
be saved from cotton fields that are
affected with this disease, unles from
selected plants that are free from the
disease. By planttrg the seed from
these resistant plants one may In a
few years secure a strain of cotton tnat
te very reslst.nnt to the disease. By
this method we have In two years se
cured a strain of cotton that Is very
resistant to the black root. We see
no reason why the same method should
not work Just as well with cotton an-
thracnose. With this In view we se
lected a number of resistant plants

advise that all of the cotton stalks be
carefully raked up and burned this
fall. By so doing the diseased bollB
wilt be destroyed, thus reducing the

nose. •
"J. We think It beet, however,
these fields are not planted In cotton
for two or three year*. In examining
the fields around Flovllla we found the
disease much worse on fields that had
been In cotton last year. In fields fol
lowing corn or potatoes the disease
was not doing much damage. In fact,
we believe, and our belief Is backed by
experiments, that whether cotton plant
ers have cotton affected with anthrac-
nlse, black root, etc., or not, It will
well repay them to practice rotation
of crops and careful selection of seed.
