WARD IS CENSURED;
HO ;
ATLANTA BAR COMMITTEE
SUSTAINS CHARGES; FINDS
CONDUCT UNETHICAL.
ATLANTA, Ga.—Resignation of
Tudge G. H. Howard, appointee of
Governor Walker, as judge of the
newly created branch of the Fulton
yperior court, was virtually demand
ediin @ resolution approved by the
executive committee of the Atlanta
Rar Association.
The resolution followed an investi
gation by the grievance committee of
(he Bar Association into charges by
Edgar Latham, Atlanta attorney, that
Tudge Howard proposed to him a
manipulation of appointments to the
offices of judge and solicitor general
whereby he and Mr. Latham might
eplit fees of the latter office, |
Called Illegal and Corrupt. ‘
The resolution follows: “Be it re-‘
«olved, That the Atlanta Bar Associa
tion approves the report of _the griev-‘
ance committee and orders it filed as
a part of the permanent records of the
association. »
“That it condemns without qualifi
cation the conduct of Judge Howard,
as set out in detail in the report of!
the grievance committee, as Improp
er. illegal, corrupt and contrary to the
public policy; and declares it is incon
sstent with the proper administration
of justice that Judge Howard should
continue to hold the office as judge
of the superior court.”
Howard Not to Quit.
The following statement was given
out by Judge Howard:
“] have no comment to make on
the decision of the executive commit
tee cxcept to say that my friends and
| will welcome an opportunity to of
fer our witnesses !and present our
case to any tribunal having authority
10 hear it. Until I have this opportu
nitv the public cannot know the facts.
“1 believe every one will agree that
[ am entitled to a fair trial in a legally
constituted tribunal.
“Able attorneys, including ex
indges of the superior court, who
voluntarily represented me as friends
on their own responsibility and after
[ had put myself in their hands, ad
viced me to decline to call witnesses
and present my case to the grievance
committee of the Bar Association.
“I am busy in court at this time
and have had no opportunity to con
ter with them, but I can not comply
with the request of the executive com
mittee and retire from the bench.
(Signed) G. H. HOWARD.”
Friends of Judge Howard declare
that the Bar Association has no ju
risdiction in the case and that no mat
ter what its findings may be Judge
Howard will continue to fill his po-l
stion as judge of the Fulton superior
court.
Bar Upholds Report.
At a meeting of the entire Atlanta
Bar Association Friday there were 5
dissenting votes out of the entire
membership present against adoption
oi the resolutions proposed by the
executive committee terming the ac
tion of Judge G. H. Howard, in con
nection with the judicial appointment,
‘llegal, improper and corrupt,” and
ging on record that the continuation
oi Judge Howard on the superior
court bench would be contrary to
niblic policy and against the interests
of proper justice.
The meeting of the association, held
in one of the superior court rooms,
was said by members to be the larg
est ever brought together by the At
lamta Bar Association, 200 or more
being in attendance.
Grand Jury Takes a Hand.
The Fulton county grand jury, in
special presentments, has virtually de
manded the resignation of Judge
Howard. '
The action of the grand jury de
clares that “it is most unfortunate for
Judge Howard to perform the duties
of his office until the charges are
proven or disproven,” and states that
the charges made under oath by citi
zns of Atlanta against Judge How
ird “made a very painful impression
o the grand jury,” and “by reason
of the wide publicity given these
tharges” Judge Howard’s continuance
o the hench “will tend to discredit
e courts,” i
A Big Surprise.
\t the time of the grand jury’s
actiofi, which came as a distinct sur
prise, the Bar Association was con
fSdering the reports of , two of its
tommittees sustaining the charges of
u 153‘,«’";11 conduct brought against
Ar. Howard.
There are two paths open far the
isociation, according to leading at-
Wreys, one disbarment proceedings
ad, secongd, impeachment proceed
ngs. The former would have to be
ired in the superior court, the latter
tlore the general assembly.

Thin Spacing Promotes Early Growth
EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS WITH COTTON.
By Roy E. Rast in Progressive Farmer.
In order to determine the proper
spacing of cotton to give best results
under boll weevil conditions in the
northern Mississippi delta I put in
some experiments last spring where
the distance between the hills varied
lon the different plots from 18 inches
apart to where none of the plants
| were removed. The rows are 39.6 inch
es wide.
The cotton is Cleveland Big 801 l
and 35 pounds of seed per acre were
planted April 25th. Before the beds
were made 400 pounds of 18 per cent
acid phosphate was applied per acre.
The cotton came up to what any
farmer would call a perfect stand. The
little plants were cultivated twice with
a_ ‘“‘gee whiz” cultivator. The thin
ning was carefully done with depend
able skilled labor on May 28th and
the following day nitrate of soda was
applied at the rate of 100 pounds per
acre. All subsequent cultivation has
‘lbeen the same on all plots. The spaces
‘between each hill were not measured,
‘with a rule or tape, but the six-inch
spacing was chopped with a 5%-inch
hoe. The other spaces were made by
using different width hoes. In other
‘words it was made as near practical
as possible so that the average farmer
who follows this method may expect
similar results. In every instance one
or two plants were left in each hill.|
The total number of blooms pro
duced per acre on the different plots
during the month of July was as fol
lows: §

The blocked out area was thinned
with a 5%-inch hoe and about there
inches were left between chops. This
left from one to six plants per hill and
by actual count August Ist there were
30,050 plants per acre. The unthinned
area has plants growing almost con
tinuously in the drill and looks to be
as thick as oats. This plot by actual
count has 40,070 plants per acre. This
seems to be an incredibly large num
ber of plants per acre. Yet an abso
lutely perfect stand of cotton two
plants per hill six inches apart in these
rows would require 52,800 plants per
acre.

should be thoroughly impressed on
every cotton grower.
First. The more plants we have per
acre the earlier the blooms are form
ed. My records of daily counts show
that the blocked out and unthinned
plots began blooming four days be
fore any blooms appeared on the oth
er plots.
Second. We are nearly always mis
taken about the number of plants we
leave per acre; we do too much thin
ning and rarely leave enough cotton
in the row: For instance, the area
where one and two plants per hili
were to be left six inches apart was
chopped with extraordinary care. This
spacing should give theorectically 39,-
600 plants per acre, but when the area
was counted I found that there were
only 16,350 plants per acre. This plot,
therefore, only has 41 per cent of a
perfect stand.
I am always amused at the re
marks made by most visitoss as they
view my experiments. The route
through the field is a road that divides
about five acres of cotton where
breeding work is in progress from
the other experiments. This breeding
work consists of isolated strains from
seed of selected high yielding plants.
The entire area is checked 39.6 inches
apart and only one plant per hill
These large isolated plants always
create favorable comment while thick
ly spaced cotton on the other side of
the road that I am confident will
make fully twice as much per acre
would be passed unnoticed if one’s at
tention was not called to it.
This thick cotton, if it produces an
average of two bolls per plant, will
make over a bale per acre. The check
ed cotton on the other hand, will
have to produce about 30 bolls per
plant in order to make a bale to the
acre.
Our eyes deceive us; we almost in
variably pick the brightest red apple
in spite of the fact that the apple is
to be eaten and not to look at it, in
spite of additional fact the reddest ap
ples are .poor in quality and not so
delicately flavored as are the yellow
varieties.
I am inclined to think that some
day we will no doubt learn that it is
more profitable to grow thick cotton
that makes a high yield per acre than
to produce ideal symmetrical shaped
plants that are pleasing to the eye.
Such plants would score high as or
namental shrubs, but they fail to in
crease the size of our bank account.
IN MEMORIAM TO
MR. MARION MARTIN
FRIEND PAYS TRIBUTE TO A
SHELLMAN CITIZEN WHO
DIED AT ADVANCED AGE.
“He giveth his beloved sleep.” Each
individual life seems to have been
considered when some passage of
scripture was inspired, and this one
came to me when I thought of Mr.
Marion Martin’s passing. All that
have toiled in the morning, through
the heat of noon and even to the eve
ning stillness know the pleasure of
relaxation and the yielding to sleep.
And we know, too, how sleep takes
away all the hurts of fatigue and en
ables us to meet the ardor of another
‘day with vigor. So I think they who
‘fa]l asleep in Jesus lose all the hurts
‘a long life has accumulated and rise
in the morn of eternity healed of ev
ery sore and ready to enjoy to the
fullest that rest that remains to the
lpcople of God.
Mr. Martin was the oldest son of
the late Rev. John Martin, and lived
eighty-five years. He was the first of
‘thirteen children—eight brothers and
sisters met around his bier. One sis
ter was hindered by distance, and one
by infirmity. He was twice married
and is survived by two sons—Rev.
John Martin, of Jellico, Tenn. and
Arthur Martin, of Atlanta, and one
daughter.
In his early years Mr. Martin was
scholarly and full of ambition. He en
listed in the army of the Confederacy
and in that service received a wound
that never healed. This crippled his
powers. While it left him considerable
physical strength, a wonderful mem
ory and power to plan, executive
ability was gone. He was social and
kindly, loving to meet and say .pleas
ant words to his friends, and his
faith in God whom he had early trust
ed remained with him. Former church
associations were dear memories of
his latterxdays. |
He was buried in Shellman, wher(‘j
live most of his brothers and sisters.
It was an unusual gathering, for|
brothers and sisters stood around one
of their number dead for the first time
in nearly sixty years. Only once be
fore, and that time the dead had been
murdered in early manhood. To one
of the sisters, Mrs. Clifford Grubbs,
of Sylvester, the sad experience was
new, for the murdered brother died
before her birth.
Death always saddens us, but i
Marion’s case there is much to be
thankful for. He had a long life, the
companionship of the married, the
pride of fatherhood and most of all
the solace of religion. All wander- |
ings and heartaches are over and we
love to remember that “He giveth his
beloved sleep.”

THE DAWSON NEWS
COTTON REPORTED
WET AND SCARCE
MR. TILLEY SAYS WEEVILS
HAVE PLAYED HAVOC IN
PARROTT SECTION.
Continuous rains have seriously
hurt the cotton crop in the Parrott
vicinity, reports Mr. J. W. Tilley, a
big planter and merchant of that
town. While it was known that this
year’s crop would be shorter than that
of last season it was not expected to
be as bad as it is, says Mr. Tilley.
The rains have interfered with pick
ing, and even when a bale arrives at
the gin it is wet and difficult t) nahdle.
Mr. Tilley states that there are
some sections around Parrott that
won’t produce a bale of cotton to ten
acres, and just a few sections that will
vield a fair crop. On his own farms,
he says, he used nearly every method
known to assure a good crop. When
his cotton was small he used a syrup
mixture containing poison. This
method proved effective and helped to
keep down the weevils, but the con
tinual rains caused a rank growth of
the plants, and dusting with calcium
arsenate was resorted to. Even then
the rains hampered the use of the‘
poison, and in spite of every vigilance
the weevils gained the upper hand. |
To date there have been ginned in
Parrott about 125 bales, which is a
very poor showing compared to this
time last year. Practically every bale
is being sold when it gets to market.
