NOME-BOUND GREEK GIVES
$100 TO GRADY HOSPITAL
CROP CONDITIONS IN GEORGIA
Just before leaving Atlanta Thursday
for hts native country, Greece, where
ho la to make his future home, James
Cotsovos', for several years one of At
lanta's leading Greek business men.
wrote a check for 3100 as a donation to
Grndy hospital. The check has been
turned mver to Mayor Winn, to whom It
was mado payable.
Cotsovos had made Atlanta his home
for the past ten years, being one of the
proprietors of. the Peachtree cafe, 111
Pcachtrce-et.. and nleo the Arcade rei.
taurant, 33 Peachtree-st. '
He hes been a friend of Grady hos
pital for a long while, because so many
of his countrymen have been befriended
there. With a feeling of gratitude In
his heart, he determined to, show his
kindly feeling In some material way.
and accordingly, tendered the donation
of 3100 on the eve of his long Journey
home. .
Cotsovos is 17 years of age and was
bom near Athens. Greece.
The
Evening
Newspaper
A canvass of 135 depart
ment stores in cities of more
than 75,000 population elic
ited from 102 the unequivo
cal opinion that the evening
nowspaper is a better adver-
tiling medium than the news
paper published in the morn
ing. The reason is plain to
see.
Six days of every week
the morning paper is read
by peoplo on their way to
their offices, and either left
in the street car or tossed
to ono side in tho _ office.
The evening paper is car
ried home. The' family reads
it. Its contents are likely
to be the subeet of dinner-
table discussion. When her
day’s household labor is
ended, the wife sits down
with the evening paper to
rend tho news and search
the advertisements for bar
gains.
The morning paper is a
sort of casual caller. _ The
evening paper is a visitor, a
friend,counselor and . com
panion. Its influence is fsr
stronger with its readers
than the influence of the has
tily-scanned morning paper.
That is why it produces so
l mtb better results for the
advertiser.
Second District
JAMES COTSOVOS.
Grateful for Grady hospital’s work
for his compatriots, he sent check for
5100 to the Institution.
Charleston, tho capital of West Vir
ginia, has voted “wet" by a majority of
510. Quite a large number of warrants
have been taken out charging the wets
with vote-buying. ,

Then came dog days end delly reins.
Practically every dsy In August brought
heavy downpours, until all the bloom*
and young bolls were beaten off the

cotton almost ruined. Weather condi
tions hevs Improved recently end e good
crop is being gathered.
Fields Suffer From Rslns.
Farmers who. a few years ego, were
satisfied with one-hslf to three-quarters
of a bale to the sere are now getting from
e bale to e hale and a half. Fields that
suffersd severely from the rslns will make
e half bale to the sere. The 1HI jrao
In Colquitt county will probably be 14.00b
bales, ss compered with 13.000 Niles last
year. This ratio will bold good for the
majority of the south Georgia counties.
The crop It unusually early In south
Georgia end will be practically ell gath
ered by October I-flfleen days earlier
then Is uauelly th# esse. Much difficulty
has been experienced In getting the crop
E ithered. The farmers bar* been wdrk-

Of scarcity of pickers and constant In
Much of the early crop was poor grade
jn account of being wet, green and gin-
cut, but the cotton being marketed now
grades uniformly high.
Corn and PssnuU.
Next to cotton, the principal crops are
corn end peanuts. The corn crop will be
about the some as last year. A somewhat
larger acreage Is panted, but s very dry
spring will hold the production to about
lest year's yield.
W’lthln Hie post three or four yesra
the cSS crop in this district has as
sumed large proportions, end 40 to 40
bushels to the sere are not at sn uncom

crop, too. and cattle raising is becoming
an Important Industry. At least 76 per
cent of the cornfields have the pesnuis
crop between the rows. The newspapers
and leading farmers of this section have
been preaching meat-raising until south
Georgia Is rapidly forging to the front as
a meat-producing country. Five years
ago pracllcally no home-raised meat could
be found In the local markets after April
or May. Today It Is exceptional when s
south Georgia supply store has to buy
Western pork.
To Market 1.000 Porkers.
J. J. Battle, a well-known stockman and
farmer, will this year market nearly a
thousand porkers. They will tie raised
end 'fattened at sn expense of not moro
than 4 cents s pound and will bring I to
10 cants on the hoof. Ilejs only one of
many who find this kind orfarmlng more
profitable than cotton-raising.
The peanut crop Is s record-breaker.
The rslns have made them grow llko
weeds and th* yield will be the largest In
many years. The same thing Is tru* of
potatoes. The crop Is vere larga and
many specimens weighing four end llv*
pounds nsve been exhibited here.
The 1st* summer rslns have contributed
toward making the greatest cane crop In
year*. It Is already well matured and the
village canc-chewera have been In their
glory for over two works.
Experiment In Sugar Beets.
In this connection may be mentioned
an Interesting cx|>erlment which Is being
conducted with sugar beets by \\. lb
Monk, a prosperous farmer living near
here. He secured some seed from Mb-h-
Igsn and set. out * small patch. The
other day he brought several specimens
Into Moultrie. They average three pounds
each In weight and have the appearance
of perfect specimens. Sample* were sent
to a Michigan refinery’for testing The
report was very gratifying, and If fully
matured specimens test as successfully.
It is vsty likely that this new crop will
be added to the already my targe list
of Second district farm product*. If It
to demonstrated that sugar beet* can be
grown here successfully, the Moultrie
Clumber of Commerce win undertake to
promote s sugar refinery which shall
make beet augar In the summer and tote
fall, and can# sugar ln the winter.
