COLD SPILL MAY PROVE
DISASTROUS TO CROPS
i
Cotton Said to lie Suffering
Generally
_
Atlanta, June 11.—According to aev- !
eral persons, who went home early '
last night and didn’t touch a drop, j
snow fell in Atlanta this morning
something never known before for “the
month of roses.”
Judge James Hines spread the news \
about the eapitol, but when scoffers I
<
began to get busy with questions, he j
retreated with the statement that “a
railroad man” had so stated.
Whether or not the white fleece did
fall —and your correspondent declines
to commit- himself—it was certainly
nipping enough to cause it. At 8 o’clock
the mercury stood at 54, with indica.
tions of even colder weather ahead.
The most disagreeable feature were
a cold rain and a high wind. It did look
odd to see men coming down town
wearing overcoats and straw hats.
It is feared Chat a continuance of the
cold for two or three days will do ser
ious damage to vegetation and partic
ularly to cotton.
Col. Tom Hudson, a veracious chon
icleer, averred this morning that sev
eral years ago in south Georgia th ;
same kind of a raw cold snap happened
along on June 24. That cotton curled
up and looked as if it had been scorch
ed.
“However,” he said, “the cotton came
out all right. Cotton is like a cat. it
can stand a mighty lot of killing.”
Crops Badly Retarded
Athens Ga., June 11. —With the tem
perature down to 50 tonight cotton
whicii can grow only with 60 or 65.
has been seriously retarded by the un
seasonable weather. It is estimated by
j experts here that the crop has been
held back fully two weeks by the cool
weather. Grain crops stand cold bet
ter and the corn is not hurt likely by
the low temperature. Crops while re
tarded are not yet seriously damaged
in this section.
Augusta, June 11.—Reports received
here by cotton factors this afternoon,
covering the tenth district, indicates
that cotton crops are suffering from
the cold weather in that the growth o.
the plant is now materially retarded.
Truck has suffered somewhat.
Bad Condition in Crisp
Cordele June 11.—As a result of the
continuous cloudy weather and tilt'
heavy rains that have fallen within the
I past week considerable anxiety is felt
in Crisp county over the cotton crop,
which has been badly stunted in
growth, diseases and insects that de
stroy it becoming more common.
Progress in the farming industry has
been practically at a standstill for the
past few days and the disagreeable
rest from their labors caused the farm
ers by the rains has placed them in a
very restless mood. Thousands of
bushels of oats cut ready for thresh
ing that have been kept wet in the field
are threatened with ruin. One of the
largest farmers of the county has
about six thousand bushels of th s
grain ready for threshing which he
states will be a total loss if the rain
continues.
Though the other crops have been
badly damaged, the corn crop is said to
be the best in years, in fact, according
to well-posted farmers prospects now
are that the yield will be the largest ip
the history of Crisp county. Howeve•,
they are fearful that the arpty worm
which wrought such severe damage in
this section last year to the corn crop,
will again appear this summer.
Low Record in Brooks
Quitman, June 11.—Temperature fell
to 55 degrees today, breaking all rec
ords for June. Steady rains for forty
eight hours, will inflict some damage
on all crops This is the firs': adverse
weather conditions the country has ex
perienced so far and it is mot believed
■it will materially mar the prospec’s
I for one of the best crop years ever
known here.
HAVE YOU SOMETHING
TO SELL?
If so, do you tell the public
about it? If you do, how do
you do it?
And what sort of reputation
is back of the merchandise you
are offering?
The answers to these ques
tions may spell success or fail
ure to many a merchant.
From an intimate association
with a wide circle of concerns,
merchandising all the neces
saries of life, we venture to say:
“The quickest and surest wav
to reach the public is through
the columns of a dependable
daily newspaper like The Times-
Recorder —one that has a high
standing in the community it
serves, and has the confidence
of its readers.
“The most dependable articles
sold today are those to whicn
the manufacturer is not afraid
to attach his label —that is to
say, his reputation.
“Retail merchants are now
joining hands with the manu
facturer, and the public is thus
doubly guaranteed against in
feriority.
“The combination of manu
facturer and retailer plus good,
clean newspaper advertising,
means success to them 'both,
with the maximum of satisfac
tion to the purchaser.”
“The Great Annual
Dividend Payer.”
That’s the name given to the Un

CHARLTON MUST
ANSWER MURDER

LOSES BEFORE HIGHER COURT
Rich American Most Return
to Italy for Trial
Washington, D. C., June 11.—Porter
Charlton must return to Italy to answ
er to the charge of ’ "ving murdered
his wife in June, 1909, at Lake Como.
The supreme court so decided today.
After discussing the insanity plea, the
justice took up the qutstion as to
whether, under the treaty of 1868, an
American citizen could be extradite!
to Italy for a crime committed there
since Italy will not extradite its sub
jects for crime here.
The refusal to surrender citizens for
extradition, the justice said, was of
modern origin. Some of the American
treaties provided, he added, that cit
izens shall not be extradited while the
others are silent.
“The conclusion is,” said Justice
Lurton, “that this government making
exception in some treaties, would not
extradite its citizens shows that it was
fully aware that here was no exception
in favor of citizens in other treaties
where the exception was not made, as
the treaty with Italy.”
He pointed out that it was conceded
that crimes committed in Italy were
not justifiable in the United States, so
if extradition were not granted, the
criminals would go unpunished.
Crimes committed in the L T nited
States, he added, were justifiable :n
Italy. According to international law.
he held that the treaty by reason of
Italy’s course, had * not become void,
but merely voidable, at the option of
the American government. The exec
utive department having waived its
right to annul the treaty, the justice
concluded for the court to do but to en
force its decision.
Charlton has been a prisoner in the
Hudson county jail nearly three years
The supreme court’s decision today
affirms the action of former Secretary
Knox, who determined to turn Charlton
over to Italy. Charlton’s father, who
conducted a gallant fight for his son.
was a former United States judge for
Porto Rico and a classmate of former
President Taft.
