PASTORS PAY TRIBUTE
TO REV. CALLOWAY
A TOUCHING INCIDENT AT CLOSE
OF PASTOR'S LAST SERV
ICE IN DAWSON.
At the close of services at the Bap

ed the privilege of saying a few words
and expressed in the following the re
gret felt by the entire city over the
retirement of Rev. T. M. Callaway
from the pastorate of Dawson Bap
tists.
“T desire to express for myself and
my congregation the deep regret
which we feel by reason of the fact
that you are going away. I do mnot
forget the cordial greeting extended
by the membership of your church
through you when I came to the pas
torate of the Methodist church nearly‘
three years ago. Among the pleasantl
memories of these years is .the fellow
ship I have had with you. You have]
shown yourself a true yokefellow, aI
sincere friend, a brother beloved, a
faithful and efficient minister of the
Word, a diligent pastor and, best of
all, a high-toned Christian gentleman.
We shall miss you, and the communi
ty will, for while you have been the
pastor of the Baptist church you have
been everybody’s minister and the in
fluence of your life will be through
the years to come like ointment pour
ed forth. In whatever fields you
may labor rest assured that the pray
ers and good will of the Methodists
of Dawson will follow you. For the
church which you leave I can wish
nothing bettér than that your succes-‘
sor in the pastorate may follow in
vour footsteps. The blessing of the
great Head of the Church, my brother,
be with you wherever your lot may be
cast.”
Rev. George Grill and Elder R. H.
Jennings also spoke in terms of sin
cere appreciation of Mr. Callaway’s!
good work and fine Christian charaa—,

DON'T LAY BY CROPS TOO EARLY
By I. T. QUINN, Secretary State Board Agriculture Alabama.
Too many farmers throughout the
state are ‘laying by" their crops en
tirely too early. They should remem
ber that all crops are much later than
they usually are at this season of the
year,
~ Corn that is just heading for tas
sel should be harrowed with some light
‘harrow until late in the silking period.
This is especially true during dry pe
riods. Cultivation is most important
at this time in order to conserve mois
ture. Corn needs more moisture dur
ing the tasseling, silking and young
roasting ear stage than at any other
stage of plant growth; and unless a
good much is kept up through light
good mulch is kept up through light
the want of sufficient moisture and
the ear will not be well filled at the‘
tip. |
It is most important that cotton
cultivation be kept up. At this sea
son of the year as soon as cultivation
THREE COUNTIES WITH TWO
MEMBERS WILL DROP DOWN
TO ONE EACH.
Several changes in the schedule of
county representation in the Georgia
house of representatives and in the
' value of county votes under the coun
ty unit law will result from the 1920
census.
i The constitution of Georgia fixes
the number of counties which shall
.lhave three representatives, which
Ishall have two, and which shall have
lone. The six largest are entitled to
three representatives each, and as
Floyd county has been displaced on
this list by DeKalb it will lose one of
its three representatives and DeKalb
will gain one. The 1920 census gives
Floyd 39,481. population and DeKalb
44,051.
Colquitt, Mitchell and Worth coun
ties, by virtue of gains in population,
will be advanced from the one repre
sentative to the two representative
class, taking the places of Decatur,
Houston and Wilkes counties, which
drop back to one representative each.
The “big six” counties, with three
representatives each and their popu-‘
lation figures under the 1920 census,
are as follows: Fulton, 232,606;
Chatham, 100,032; Bibb, 71,307; Rich
mond, 63,692; Muscogee, 44,195; De-
Kalb, 44,051,
The counties having two represen
tatives each and their population fig
ures are: Bartow, 24,527; Brooks,
24,538; Bullock, 26,133; Burke, 30,-
836; Carroll, 34,752; Clarke, 26,111;
Cobb, 28,397; Colquitt, 29,332; Cow
eta, 29,047; Worth, 28,863; Elbert,
23,906 ; Emauel, 28,862; Floyd, 39,481;
Gwinnett, 30,327; Hall, 26,822; Jack
gon, 24,654 ; Laurens, 39,605; Lowndes,
26,521; Meriwether, 26,109; Mitchell,
25,588; Sumter, 32,292; Thomas, 33,-
044; Troup, 37,679; Walton, 24,216;
Ware, 28,361; Washington, 28,147.
ceases fruiting stops. This is almost
fatal to the cotton crop under boll
’waevil conditions. Cotton cultivation
in all boll weevil infested areas should
{be continued till it is nearly time to
begin picking, or until it becomes dif
)ficult to plow without knocking out
the cotton. The longer you cultivate
vour cotton the longer will the plant
put on fruit. This means that the
boll weevil will feed upon the top crop
and give the middle crop a chance to
“set.” The farmer who ceases culti
vation early will find when he goes
to pick his crop that he has fed the
middle and top crop to the weevil and
reserved the bottom crop for himself.
What is true of the foregoing crop
is also true of other field crops. If
every farmer would make it the rule
on his farm to continue cultivating his
crop three weeks longer than the aver
age farmer does there would be a
very marked incréase in the produc
tion of all kinds.
~ OF MILLION BALES
f el
GOVERNMENT FORECAST ESTI
MATES 12,519,000 BALES ON
CONDITION OF JULY 25.
Increase of more than a million
bales in the prospective production of
cotton over that indicated a month ago
is forecast by the Department of
Agriculture. A total of 12,519,000
bales was estimated from the condi
tion of the crop July 25, while 11,450,-
000 bales was forecast from the con
dition June 25.
Goad growing weather during July
caused much imprevement in the pros
pects of the crop, the condition having
advanced from 70.7 per cent of a nor
mal on June 25 to 74.1 per cent on
July 25. The crop’s condition is seven
points higher than it was a year ago
and a little more than a point below
the ten year July 25 average.
A production of 11,450,000 bales
was forérast from the condition June
25, which was 70.7. Production last
vear'was 11,329,755 bales and the con
dition on July 25 a year ago was 67.1.
The ten year average condition on
July 25 was 75.6 per cent.
Condition of the crop by states on
July 25 was: Virginia, 74; North
Carolina, 77; South Carolina, 77;
Georgia, 68; Flgrida, 64; Alabama, 67;
Mississippi, 71; Louisiana, 71; Texas,
74; Arkansas, 78; Tennessee, 76; Mis
souri, 81; Oklahoma, 85; California,
85: Arizona, 85; all other states, 85.
MANY NEW COUNTIES
PROPOSED BY STATE
The Creation of Five Will Be Voted on
By People at Election in
November Next.
Whatever else the late general as
sembly may have done or failed to do
’it has surpassed all of its predecessors
except the famous new county legisla
ture of 1907 in proposing the creation
of new counties. The people will be
given an opportunity to vote for the
creation of five new counties this fall,
bringing the total number of Georgia
counties up to 160.
~ In the number of her counties Geor
gia already exceeds any state in the
union with the exception of Texas,
which has more than five times as
great an area. One of the new coun
ties to be voted on this fall, Lanier,
was passed up at the 1919 session.
The other four, Brantley, Seminole,
Lamar and Long, were authorized at
the session just ended.

DOLLARS FOR BEDSTEAD
Wealthy American Determined to
Have Nicer Room Than Briton.
Determined to have a more expen
sively fitted room than a rich London
woman, who paid $50,000 in furnish
ing her bedchamber, Stephen Mar
chand, an American of vast wealth, liv

stead alone.
It was constructed of massive ebony
with elaborate carvings of solid ivory
and inlaid with gold filgree. At the
head of the bedstead was a huge tro
phy cut from one piece of ivory, a
special journey being taken to Africa
to obtain a massive tusk for the pur-|

The number of liquor thefts since
