• MOLENA MENTION.
, .Molena, Gu.,, June 9.—The cry
n« wis too much rain. Old farmers sty
tile prospect for corn is the worst they
ever knew for the 10th of June and the
'east cotton ehoppea; no hands lobe
>ad at any price. Old men who sowed
* Some wheat had to cut it themselves and
their wives tied it. The crops are get-
\ ting .very grassy and if the rains contin
ue another week some will begin to hol
lercalfrope. The prospect for a large
(bay crop is good.
R. C. Howard'aml E. M. Eppinger
’lost a mule apiece last week from death
land Dr. Bartee a horse and cow, and
'front the looks of the stock generally it
will be a close rub to finish laying by.
There was not a bushel of corn to be
found in Molena last Saturday.

* Our clever postmaster killed fifteen
squirrels last Saturday and says it was

Twenty-one dollars and sixty-live

In helping F. E. Drewry to place a
tombstone over the grave of the little
child of 0. E. Jones m the Molena cem
etery last week, our attention was call
r ed to the graves of old Rev. T. H. Stout
and wife, who were buried there in
, 1899. Nothing but two plank boards
a mark those graves. We think it a
shame in the first place on his son, who
lives in Texas and came out here,
f~_.wound up all of his father's business
j and the church here paid him for his
’ —other’s services as pastor of the Baptist
f** church for the whole year, leaving him
? with an estate of $47()(). This is nothing
■ but their duty. It is believed by a good
many that his son will never be heard
from in regard to the matter. I was
[ asked to mention this much neglected
duty, and we hope that before this year
? is ended that we may see at least some
to marble headboards to those graves to
‘' tell to rising generations where sleepeth

GRIFFIN. GEORGIA. FRIDAY, JUNE 12. 1903.
CONOORD CULLLNO*.
Concord. Ga., June 10.— The rains
still continue here ; only about one day’s
plowing done last week, and the ground
is yet too wet to plow. If the June
showers don’t stop falling so often Gen
eral Green will soon become king and
King Cotton won’t be in it. At least,
things look that way now;
The crops generally are in bad condi
tion; poor stands of everything, from
sorghum up to groun'dpeas, and every
thing suffering for lack of cultivation,
especially the cotton, which, if we
judge by the present prospect, cannot
possibly make a full crop, even if it is
worked out in due time. But some of
the farmers are cheerful over the situa
tion, believing that the shorter the crop
the better will be the price. We think
that will be true next fall if underpro
duction of cotton has anything to do
with the price. We base our judgment
on what we know about the ciop in
this country and what we can gather
from other sources. I learn through
private corresnondence with a frjend at
Kellmichael, Mississippi, that the crop
conditions are as poor there and many
other places in the West as here. Many
of the farmers there had to plant their
cotton over, which make it too late to
make a full crop, even with favorable
season.
There is much cotton to be chopped
’round about here, and the laborers are
few, and we are having but little time
to chop and scarcely any to plow on ac
count of the rains.
Wheat harvest is about over and the
harvesting of oats between showersis
the order of the day.
D. P. Blake harvested the best field
of wheat we ever saw grow in Georgia.
The heads will average four inches long
and have three grains to the mesh, with
the straw waist high to any average
tail man, then, gh we think thewh iat
crop generally through this section is
below au average.
The vegetables are fine and growing
for all they are worth.
If you want to destroy the bugs on
your Irish potato vines sprinkle them
with a strong solution made by boiling
green cedar straw and the bugs will
leave to stay. We have not tried the
experiment-, but get it from responsible
parties. » •
We saw the first watermelons on our
vines Saturday and have a fine prospect
for plenty by summer time at Mt. Zion.
I think we ought to have at least one
specially invited speaker of the day at 1
reunion, which I think would perhaps
make the occasion of more interest to
those who are not correspondents.
P. W. Carter ri quests us to return
through the G. S. U . his many thanks
to tbe many friends of his father, Y. H.
Garter, for the many deeds of kindness
tendered him and the family during his

Plenty Supplies at Gaines
ville Now.
Instead of taking in the factory
picnic in Atlanta Saturday, Allen
Little and Edward McLean, of the
Spalding Mills, and E H. Hally
burton, of the Griffin Mills, went
straight on to Gainesville and Paco
let, returning Sunday afternoon.
They found Gainesville full of
excursionists and idle people, and
t he gi eat trouble was to get anybody
to take boll and woik. Those
mountain factory people are a dif
ferent class from the energetic op
eratives that Griffin has trained up
from the material at hand in Middle
Georgia, being shiftless and lacking
ambition. Moreover, the recent
catastrophe seems to have taken alt
tbe life and nerve out of them, if
they had any.
Tney report plenty cf supplies on
hand, with a two-story store house
full of clothing and underclothing, .
amounting to three times as much
as the two hundred destitute fam
ilies ever had before, and the relief
committee is embarrassed with the
additional carloads that are coming
in, which they will probably send
on to Pacolet. All beddir g and
furniture has also been
and yesterday bet ween 120,000 and
130,000 was to be divided among
these people.
The danger, as represented to the
Griffin visitors, is that the factory
people will become demoralized by
too much prosperity, and will not
think of seeking work until charity
has become exhausted. The owners
of the mills can stand their losses,
but the middle classes, these who
lost their stores and had stocks
damaged, but have too much pride
to accept alms, are the real suffer
ers.
Raging Torrent at Pacolet.
At Pacolet, near Spartanburg,
where the waters had not begun to
subside, they found the most excit
ing scenes. It was impossible to
cross the stream and voices just
could reach across. This was simp
ly a large fa3torv village, built
where it was bound to be over
whelmed should any strain cause
the dam to give way. Here they
found bosses from other mills, soma
as far eff as Alabama, already on
the ground and trying to get some
of the hands to go back with them,
but they refused, saying they would
wait awhile to see what would turn
up—although tbe mills here were
completely swept away. If rebuilt,
they will probably build only the
power houses in the bottom and
possibly locate the mills themselves
as far off as Sparlanburg.
There is a movement on foot here
to send supplies to Pacolet, andeer- ,
tainly it woull seem better to do
that than to send any more aid to
Gainesville at present.
It Was a Cyclone.
All of the Griffin visitors contend
that it was a cyclone and not a tor
nado. that struck Gainesville. They
fay that the trees, instead of Iving
in one direction, as a straight wind
would have thrown them down, lie
in every direction, just as that ter
rible revolving blast tnet is properly
called a cyclone would have placed
them. This would seem to be a
conclusive test.
