CROPS BETTER
OVER GEORGI A
Improvement In Cotton, How
ever, Is Offset By Increased
Weevil Activity, Report Says
Improvement in the cotton plant,
offset by increased weevil activity,
over Georgia from July 1 to 15 is
reported in the mid-monthly crop
summary just issued from Atlanta
by Z. R. Pettit, agricultural statis
tician for this region of the United
I States Department of Agriculture.
| The report follows:
“Conditions favored plant growth
1 during the last fortnight. Much
i needed moisture became available
' for the corn crop which was suf
fering in much of the region.' The
j situation is somewhat spotted. More
I rain than was needed fell in many
localities, while some are still in
need of showers.
“CORN —The corn is improving
materially but is still below the av
erage. Yields promise to run from
twelve to eighteen bushels except
Tennessee which is much higher.
“COTTON—Marked progress has
ben made in the growth of the
plant. It is fruiting well, and its
apeparance is much better than two
week ago. Bolls are forming in the
South. The first open bolls are re
ported. Weevils continue prevalent,
attacking the squares as they form.
Farmers are waging strenuous bat
tle using treble the am.ount of cal
cium arsenate used last season. The
supply oi. arsenate is very inade
quate. The weevil is now the de
termining factor, and the situation
is critical. ■
“TOBACCO—'Shade’ tobacco is
in, and the quality and yields are
better than last year. ‘Bright’ to
bacco is being harvested under fair
ly favorable conditions in Georgia.
Condition below usual.
“HAY—lmprovement is noted in
hay crops, grasses and pastures.
Cowpeas are flourishing, but there is
much complaint of the Mexican
bean beetle.
“RICE Making good growth
with favorable weather.
“FRUIT Florida and South
Georgia melon season about over.
Middle Georgia and South Carolina
commences. Yields universally low.
Rains have improved outlook. Canta
loupe season about over in main
section. Peach movement passes
climax. Pear season commences in
Georgia-Florida section. Blackber
ries and grapes improve slightly. Ap
ples are good. Citrus fruit has im
proved prospect. Groves now being
pruned.
"VEGETABLES Sweet potato
crop excellent. Early. Commercial
digging commenced. Alabama and
Florida leading. Early Irish pota
crop finished Ifcxcetot in
limit of belt. Total production dou
ble l ist season in n ost of the south
eastern states. Unusual amount of
cabbage, tomatoes, peppers, onions,
etc., in all of this teritory. Prepara
tion for fall truck crop under in way
in Florida.
PEANUTS Short acreage be
comes increasingly apparent though
condition improves.
•‘SUGAR CANE—Much benefit
ed by rains. Still too dry in spots
“SUMMARY—On July 1 the
crops in the southeast had undergone
a very trying period and had just
begun to recover. This improve
ment continued over past two weeks,
except in case of crops subject to
special hazards. Cotton has improv
ed physically, but this is off-set by
increasing weevil damage.”

ROCKY MOUNT, N. C., July 17.
Six of the thirteen special agents and

and sympathizers were still missing

The guards were seized in a local

crowd estimated to comprise about
300 men. After being stripped of
their weapons they were forced into
waiting automobiles which at once
dashed out of the city.

COUNTY BOARD
SUED FOR SSOO
AND ENJOINED
W E. Mitchell And Others Go
To Court To Make Commis
sioners ‘Put Back’
Following the filing of a petiiton
by Attorneys Zach Childers and Dan
Chappell, representing W. E. Mitch
ell and several other named citizens,
a temporary injunction was signed
by Judge Z. A. Littlejohn late Sat
urday against the > members of the
members of the board of county
commissioners and s.County Treasur
er Watts restraining them from pay
ing out any more money on an
agreement alleged to have been en
tered into with the Georgia Good
Roads association last February
whereby the county was to give the
association $2,000 for state highway
bond organization and propaganda
work. Five hundred dollars of this
money has already been paid to the
association, and the petition asks for
a court order compelling the offi
cers named to reimburse the county
treasury with that amount, alleging
that it was illegally paid out of the
treasury.
Judge Littlejohn has set Tuesday,
July 25, at 10 a. m. as the date for
bearing the petition. It is under
stood the county commissioners will
fight it through W. W. Dykes, coun
ty attorney.
The men who bring the suit are
W. E. Mitchell, C. I. Brady, J. A.
McCrea, W. C. Sullivan, J. D. Wil
liams and J. A. Hall, the petition re
cites. The county commissioners
who are defendants are N. A. Ray,
R. S. Oliver, C. C. Hawkins, J. E.
Poole and S. E. Statham.
Meant Thousands To County.
The petition recites the details of
the transaction, which are more or
less generally known, and the facts
of which, it is understood, the defend
ants will not contest. The money, it
is said, was subscribed to the Georgia
Good Roads association by the county
board, along with a number of other
Georgia counties, for the purpose of
furthering the interests of t-he pro
posed $75,000,000 state highway is
sue. The commissioners took the po
sition that it was to the interests
of Sumter county to assist in putting
this issue over, inasmuch as the
state’s plan provided for reimbursing
the various counties where perma
nent highway work had already been
done on highways in the state sys
tem, this plan giving Sumter county
a refund, up to this time, of some
thing like $175,000 on the county
bond money already expended on
highways.
It is understood that all of the
men who have joined in instituting
the suit against the commissioners
and county treasurer are bitter op
ponents of the proposed bond issue.
The members of the county com
mission are known to feel very much
chagrinned that their action should
be questioned by any citizens, and
they declare they will not pay back
a cent of money until compelled to
do so, taking the position that they
acted in the interest of the county
and should be supported by the citi
zens in so doing, instead of harras
sed Speaking for himself and for
the board, Chairman N. A. Ray Mon
day authorized the following state
ment: V
Chairman Ray Talks.
“It I might be / illegal; I don’t
know. We were doing about that
just like I would do for myself. We
thought it was a good proposition if
we Could get back about $175,000
for the county.
“We were acting for the interests
of the people of Sumter county.
They had confidence in us ami
elected us to represent them. We
havr been conscientious in doing
that, and we have no inclination to
pay any of it back out of our pock
ets unless the good people of Sum
ter county say we must.”
Rumors of the impending suit
have been heard for some weeks.
When word first became prevalent
that objection had been raised to
the payments, the board refused to
authorize payment of the second
installment under its agreement
with the association, which was due
in April. At the time the board
adopted a declaration, which is em
bodied in its records, it is said, ac
cepting .the full responsibility for
thd transaction and absolving the
county treasurer from any blame,
he having acted on the orders of
the hoard.
The Petition.
Following is the text of the prin
cipal parts of the petition:
“That at the regular February
term, 1922, of said county commis-
ONE NEGRO DEAD,
ANOTHER HURT IN
STRANGE MISHAPS
Saturday night w-itnessed two unex
plained accidents to negroes, one of
them resulting fatally. The dead
negro is Sim Dean, who resided on
the plantation of John Council, who
was found fatally injured in the
road in the Wheatley bottom early
Sunday morning by his companion,
Will Patterson, who had gone to sleep
in a drunken stupor at the side of
the road. The other injured negro
was Gene Dixon, who is employed by

found unconscious from a blow on the
head on Scarborough hill early Sun
day. He has recovered sufficiently

The Dean and Patterson negroes
started from Americus Sunday, both
drunk from moonshine liquor, Pat
terson said. They stopped to rest in
the Wheatley bottom. As he dosed
off, he said, he saw Dean sitting m
the middle of the pavement. When
’ he awoke some time afterward, Dean
was lying on the pavement uncons
cious with a 3-inch gash and a frac
ture in the back of his head. He died
at his home Monday morning. Dr.
J. T. Stukes who attended him said
the body showed no other signs of
violence and no bruises indicating
that he possibly fell and struck the
back of his head on the pavement,
or was knocked over by a car, al
though no wheel had run over him.
