THUS. G. HUDSON
MAKES FORMAL
STATEMENT NOW
Thomas G. Hudson makes his formal
announcement for congress from the
Third district in this morning’s issue
of the Times-Recorder. It appears in
the announcement columns and pre
sents several .planks upon which Mr.
Hudson will make the race.
The announcement of Congressman
C. R. Crisp, asking for re-election ap-
«
beared weeks ago, and with the formal
entrance of Mr. Hudson the race has
formally begun.
Both gentlemen have been candi
dates for several months and have at
tended to the features of pre-election
days. It was predicted in these col
umns some time ago that the Third
congressional district race would wind
up in a campaign between Congress
man Crisp and Mr. Hudson as every
political indication pointed to a race
between these two gentlemen, instead
of a field with a larger number of can
didates.
Mr. Hudson stated some time ago
that he would open his campaign in
Americus. It is likely that he will
announce the date within a short time.
Congressman Crisp stated in his an
nouncement that he would actively
campaign during the summer, and
make speeches in the interest of his
race.
The race gives every promise of
overshadowing other political battles

PEACH COUNTY 15
FIGURING IN BIG
LEGAL JN 6 L E
Peach county figured in Americus
yesterday.
Judge Z. A. Littlejohn heard a peti
tion for injunction Saturday at cham
bers regarding the disbursement ot
$5,000 appropriated by Macon county
to fight the creation of the county of
Peach. The new county would take a
large section from the present county
of Macon and a large slice of Houston
county, making Fort Valley the county
site.
Following the appropriation of $5,-
000 a temporary injunction was grant
ed. by Judge Littlejohn last Monday.
The hearing today was interlocutory
with Warren Grice, former attorney
general, representing two residents of
Macon county, alleging the illegality
of using this money in this way as
appropriated by the coutny commis
sioners.
The county was represented in the
hearing by Jule Felton, of Oglethorpe,
and after the legal phases and argu
ment had been made Judge Littlejohn
stated that he would take the matter
of a permanent injunction under ad
visement and possibly render the de
cision Monday.,
The point urged by Mr. Grice for
the parties bringing the injunction
was that the county commissioners of
Macon county had no legal right to
appropriate this sum of money in the
manner in which they did for- the
purpose of fighting the ceration of
Peach county.
William A. Dodson, Esq., of Ameri
cus, has been secured by parties in
Macon county, to assist in the fight on
Peach county before the legislature.
The new -county affects Smter, as
stated several days ago in a Times-Re
corder news story. It takes territory
out of the senatorial district by secur
ing a slice of Macon county, and by
taking this section also affects the
Southwestern judicial circuit and the
third congressional district.
Peach county is being urged by a
prominent array of people at Fort
Valley, and Emmett Houser, a Fort
Valley lawyer and newspaper maa,
has been engaged to wage the cam
paign in behalf of the new ocunty
named after the luscious fruit so
prominent and valuable in that sec
tion peculiar to the would-be county.
Campaign headquarters have been
opened in Atlanta during the meeting
o. the general assembly.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER.
14.000,000 BALE
CROP ESTIMATE
FDR TNEIEIO
WASHINGTON, D. C„ July 1.-
Present conditions indicate a cotton
crop of 14,266,000 equivalent to 500-
pound bales this year. The departmet.t
of agriculture forecast this total pro
duction today in connection with its
report announcing the condition of tbc
crop on June 25 and the preliminary
estimate of this year's acreage. Last
year’s crop, the smallest sime 1909,
was 11,191,820 bales, while two years
ago it was 16,134,930 bales, the biggest
crop ever grown. In 1913 it was 14 -
156,486 bales and in 1912 the produc
tion was 13,703,421 bales.
In its preliminary estimate of the
area of cotton in cultivation this year
the department places the figure at
35,994,000 acres. That compares with
32,107,000 acres, the revised estimate
of acreage in cultivation a year age,
and with 36,832,000 acres harvested in
1914, the year of record production,
37,089,000 in 1913, the year of record
average, and 34,283,000 arces in 1912.
The condition of the growing crop
on June 25 was 81.1 per cent of a
normal, as compared with 77.5 per
cent, on May 25 this year, 80.2 per cent
on June 25 last year, and 80.2 per cent,
the average condition for the last ten
years on June 25.
Since May 25 report was made, plac
ing the condition at 77.5 per cent of a
normal, the weather has not been en
tirely favorable for the growing crop.
It has been too wet to permit of satis
factory cultivation and too cool for
proper growth. During the first we-k
following the May report the weather
was favorable for development and
the crop was reported improving
steadily. 801 l weevil were reported in
southern Alabama and in parts cf
Mississippi. Rains hindered cultiva
tion during the second week in the
north and there was considerable
complaint of slow growth, due to cool
nights, in nearly all sections, whi'e
boll weevil were reported numerous
ii. Alabama and were found in Flor
ida. Some damage from weevil was
reported. Rainy weather and unseas
onable cold continued during the lat
ter part of the month checking growth
but the plants were reported improv
ing generally in the central and
southern parts of the belt. The weevil
was reported in parts of Texas and
northern Louisiana.
In calculating its forecast of total
production the Bureau of Crop Esti
mates based the yield on the condition
of the crops on June 25 and the pre
liminary estimate of the acreage, al
lowing for abandonment one per cent
from the planted area. The final pro
duction, however, probably will be
larger or smaller than estimated ac
cording as conditions from now until
time of picking are better or worse
than average conditions.
Estimate on Georgia.
The estimate of the acreage in Geor
gia under the dates of the general es
timate Is 5,516.000 bales of cotton. The
condition in Georgia is estimated at
80 per cent.
Alabama’s acreage is estimated at
3.468,000 bales, and her condition at
.79.
