First Cotton
Ginners’ Report
THE FIRST cotton ginners’ re
port shows that this crop is
much earlier than in years. Up
to the first of September there
had been 143,947 bales ginned as
•against 47.563 last year. The
dry weather in south Georgia
has caused the staple to open
rapidly and in many places they
are almost through picking. In
this section of the state picking
lias just begun.
U. S. CROPS WILL
BREAK RECORDS
Farm Products Will Net Billion And
Two Hundred Millions of Dol
lars Over Last Year.
Atlanta, September 12. —That there
will lie a bumper crop of practically all
farm products this year is the opinion
of agriculturists here to-day; in fact
tlic indications are they will net One
billion anil two hundred million dol
lars more than last year’s crop.
The estimates nr** based on seventeen
staple products, wheat, corn, oats, bar
ley. rye, buckwheat, white potatoes,
sweet potatoes, llax. hay. wild hay, cot
ton. apples, peaches, peanuts, grain yor
ghum. and tobacco. Thev are expected
o yield $1.13 1.051.000, according to lg
□res compiled ITv the :u:ti mnl depart
ment of agriculture and made public at
the Georgia department of agriculture.
"Restored confident* in the business
world is based primarily upon this en
ouraging prospect of excellent agricul
tural •ondiiions, and it is not wrong
placed.” said Joel Hunter, noted bus
ices expert, when seen today by the
correspondent of this news in file South
niul is closely in touch at all times villi
agricultural conditions.
“No matter what stimulates there
are in tie* business world prosperity
can he no greater than the new wealth
that is created from year to year,” con
tinued Mr. Hunter. “The farmer's dol
lar is the standard of currency. When
his is not forthcoming others shrink.
Farmers Are Coming Back.
“Business is going to tie better, this
fall, hut that is not as good news as
the thought that thousands of farmers
who have been despondent and who
have hold ttp patiently under adverse
cotl<litions are coming back strong. It
will not take them long to liquidate
their losses when such crops are rais
ed as will be raised this year, and when
tlie farmers have been completely re
habiliatod, it will not take industry
and business long to follow in their
wake. 1
UNCLE RAY CAMP
GOES TO MILL IN
FLYING MACHINE
In Atlanta there are approximately
one thousand and one people or about
one-half of one per cent of the total
population who either hear the cogno
men Camp or are related by ties of
blood or marriage to that clan.
The head of the family is |£ny Gamp,
of Campton. whether it be the Compton
of the races celebrated in song, the de
ponent saith not. Anyhow, at Camp
j town resides the patriarch! of the fam-
J ily and he has resided there for the
last ninety-two years, which is a con
siderable span as life runs in these
feverish times.
He is the typical patriarch in years
and progeny, for when tljere is a fami
ly reunion each year lie is surrounded
|by flocks of grandchildren and great
grand children to such a .numerical ex-
tent that goodness knows how lie re
members them all. but there is no doubt
but that lie does.
For this patriarch is a long way
from the slippered pantaloon stage of
Mr. Shakespeare despite ninety-two
years and about as many great-grand
children. He’s a very keenly alive old
fellow, this patriarch, who doesn’t de
pend on memories for liis thoughts and
who scorns tradition as a basis for
action.
Camp Grist Mill Near Campton.
For instance, from the time man's
memory runne’th not to the contrary,
the Camps have owned a grist mill
near Campton, which is in Walton comi
ty, if there are any so ignorant as not
to lie possessed of this information al
ready.
{ A fine dashing creek turned the
time the grist mill continued to grind
and to it in his boyhood Ray Camp us
ed to make almost daily pilgrimages,
his Imre fed on the red clay soil be
ing the method of motion.
Later as lie grew in stature and wis
dom, lie rode in a slow but certain ox
cart that dragged its weary way from
the Camp home place to the Camp grist
mill.
Roads and the times improved and
in due season Mr. Camp was able to
reach the mill by means of a mule
team, hitched to a spring wagon.
But progress'knows no halt., Soon
Mr. Camp was going over the same old
route hut this time in a huckboard with
a bay horse of spirit and pedigree,
stepping bis flashy way along in front
of tightly\drawn reins.
In natural sequence came the trusty
Ford and then the high-powered car
with nickel mountings and upholstery
and all that sort of thing. And all the
years and about as many great-grnnd
aiul its owner continued to progress.
Felt Old Urge to Visit Mill.
Shortly after his ninety-second birth
day, Mr. Camp felt the urge to visit
tin 1 mill. The urge felt, In* went about
visiting. He didn’t however, call out
‘Jim, yoke up those oxen.” nor did he
command. “Sam. hitch up that mule
team,” nor were his orders. “Jack, hook
that liny to tin* huckboard.” nior yet
again “Henry, crank up that flivver.”
nor even “Henri, slap your f*a>t on that
self starter, we arc off for the grist
mill.”
Instead he ran to the long distance
telephone and got in touch with Julius
Malsby and Leßoy Winn and other
prominent Atlantans, who have become
allied with his family.
“I feel like going over to the grist
mill today,” he told them. “I under
stand there’s an aeroplane hanging
around loose In Atlanta. Have it sad
dled or started or whatever they do
to one to make it go and send her on
down here. I’ve gone to that grist mill
every way that’s been known to get
there hv covering ground, and now by
flic eternal, I’m going to fly there.”
Which he ylid despite ninety-two
years and about as many great-grond
children. —L. F. W. in Constitution.

SHOOTING WAS CLIMAX TO ROW
, EARLIER IN THE AFTERNOON.
Mrs. Stewart Shot As She Plead That
The Rowing End and the Partici
pants Go Home.
Last Saturday night at “Buddy”
Stewart’s store in Ben Smith’s
district in the lower part of the coun
ty, occurred a general shooting affray
in which several were wounded. It
seems that it is almost impossible to
know exactly who did all the shooting.
Several shots were fired. It seems that
Hiram McDaniel and “Buddy” Stew
art had quarreled during the day and
(he former had been ordered to leave
the store. He left, It seems, and later
returned with bis son. Curtis McDan
iel. (>n the return of the two men the
shooting began and in 'he affray Mr.
Stewart was shot in the breast and is
dangerously hurt; Mrs. Stewart, who
had gone down to the store to quiet
the trouble, as her mother, Mrs. John
O. Perry, was quite sick at her home,
was also shot in the breast. Mrs. Stew
art had nothing to do with the trouble
and only went down to the scene on
account of her mother’s condition.
Boh Jackson was shot in the knee. Cur
tis McDaniel suffered a severe lick on
the head and was also shot in the hip.
A Mr. Griffeth sustained a broken nose
and others were bumped about con
siderably.
To cap the climax of tlie night, when
Lon Simonton, son-in-law of Buddy
Stewart, started to Winder in a Ford
car to gel medical assistance, his Ford
turned completely over, catching him
under it. However, he escaped with no
serious injuries.
A warrant was sworn out for Hiram
McDaniel Saturday night charging him
with the shooting. Sheriff Camp placed
him in jail.
Tuesday Mrs. Hiram McDaniel swore
out warrants for Buddy Stewart and
his son-in-law, Lon Simonton, Bob Jack
son and Mr. Griffeth, charging Mr.
Stewart with doing the shooting and
the others with assault and battery.
Mr. Stewart has been carried to a
hospital and is in a ertiical condition.
As to who did the shooting, the evi
dence is so conflicting that it is im
possible to say. The whole matter will
be sifted out in the courts.
