GEORGIA CROP REPORT
As Given by Department of
Agriculture.
BHOW3 SOME DETERIORATION.
Report Is Based on Letters Received
at Department From Reliable Per
sons In Different Sections.
September 24th, 1903.
The crop report of the Georgia De
partment of Agriculture, issued Sep
tember 24th, 1903, and based on the
antwers to nearly 1,000 letters sent to
reliable persons in different sections
of every county in the state, shews
the condition and prospect of our
principal crops up to the middle <’f
the current month.
The report shows a deterioration in
the prospects of some of the crops,
especially cotton.
Everything was set back <by the Into
spring, and when the prospect seemed
good for a rally from the early unfa
vorable conditions, a long-continued
drouth set in, which was at last
broken by chilling rains that did much
damage, especially to cotton.
Rust also has appeared in some sec
tions, and in many instances the boll
worm and caterpillar have made se
rious inroads.
Hay and rice that had not been !
housed suffered considerable damage. J
The present condition and prospect i
of the various crops, as compared to
last June, is as follows:
Cotton.

Southern section... .82 p. c. 72 p. c.
For entire 5tate.....83 p. c. 69 p. c.
It Is ettimated that the entire crop
will be about 19 per cent less than
last year's crop.

Cotton appears to be the greatest
sufferer. There is a very slim chance
■ for improvement in this crop.
Corn is doing fairly well, and so 13
sugar cane. Corn on bottom lands is
good. In some sections poor on up
lands.
Rice seems to be holding its own
1 better than any other crop.
Farm Labor.
Many of our farmers find great dif
ficuty in securing hands to swthel
their crops after they have been
raised.
One great trouble is that factories
give much larger compensation to
their employees and require fe-wef
hours of labor. It is therefore natural
that an ablebodied man should prefer
i to go where he gets more pay for less
work. Even the farmer beys ara
: with difficul*- kept upon the term.
• They tire c. ■: schedules run upon
so many fan. : getting up at 5 a.
1 m.; working until 12 ra.; going back
, to work at 1 u. m.; stopping when it
■ gets too dark for any more work;
1 feeding the stock or cleaning the sta
ble after dark; eating supper between
i 7 and 8 p. m; then, too tired for read
‘ ing. or any of the pleasures of tha
. family circle, going to bed, to awaka
next morning to the same weary round
' j of duties.
i Will not the use cf up-to-date farm
Implements make It possible to do so
much more work in a day, that tha
, < hours for labor may be shortened and
, the farmer then stand a better chanca
■ to compete with the factories in* fair-
■ ing competent hands?
i We throw this out as a suiygeailon,
' which our farmers may think upon
i and accept or reject, as Injtbelr jwdg-
I ment seems best.

NEGRO SHOOTS WHITECAP.
Assailant Surrenders and Asks Protec
tion—Tragedy In Sumter.
Americus, Ga., Oct. 13. —With a bul
let through his left lung, John Suggs,
a well known white fanner living near
Americus, lies at the point of death.
Andrew Cheney, a negro farmer sur-
himself to Sheriff Bell Mon
day afternoon, admitting the shooting
of Suggs, and asked protection.
In his statement Cheney declares
that at mi 'night Saturday night a
posse of white men attempted to bat
ter down his doer in an attempt to
capture him.
He refused to open the door, and
the onslaught continuing, he fired
point blank at the pursuing posse,
wounding Suggs, the others then leav
i ing.
) Several hours previous to the attack
oa his house Cheney had a slight diffi
culty v-iil Walter Bray, another young
far;:" ?--, ' thinks the attacking par-
ty war.taj to inflict punishment upon
him for that affair,
This is the only story of the Trage
dy- received inns far.
CLAIMS REWARD FOR SON.
Tom Caruthers Sentenced to Hang,
Given Up by Parent.
Rochelle, Ga., Oct. 13.—The father of
Tom Caruthers, who is under sentence
to hang for the murder of Henry Byrd,
has made application for the reward
offered for the captue of the youth.
The negro was sentenced to hang
on Oct. 16. He escaped, but Was af
terwards arrested at Hawkinsville. A
reward of? 150 had been offered for
him in the meantime. Now the negro's
father is applying for the reward.
The sheriff of Pulaski county thinks
the fl.ther is entitled to it, as the old
man gave the officers the information
that led to the arrest of the youth.
The idea the old negro had was that
the boy was a fugitive from justice,
and was about to starve to death, and
it would be better for him to be put to
trial even if he had to hang. The
old negro thought hanging could not be
as bad as starving.

Two large knitting mills closed out all their fleeced lined Underwear to

merchants were buying spring and summer goods we were laying up acorns for
our customers for winter time. One thousand two hundred and twenty one
dozen heavy fleeced lined Underwear for children, boys, misses, ladies ; id
gents is a big purchase to make, but the prices the factory named for the entire
amount influenced us to fill our house full of this desirable underwear in sum
mer time. These goods will go on sale tomorrow at prices that stamp this
store as offering the greatest bargains that were offered lo the people of Grifiia * 5
and vicinity. These great values will move like a whirlwind.
