GOVERNMENT COTTON
REPORT BELOW AVERAGE
The condition of the cotton
crop on May 25, was 74 3 per
cent of normal, says the depart
ment of agriculture, the lowest
condition of the cotton crop of
the country since 1871 The esti
mate is based on a ten year aver
age, which is seven per cent be
low the average
The low condition of the crop
is said to be due to the excessive
rains and exceptionally cool
nights in central and northeast
ern Texas and in Oklahoma, and
Arkansas. Throughout the cot
ton belt the crops are reported
from ten to thirty davs late.
Georgia is reported above the
average, though a week late.
Eighty per cent of the total
acrage is reported in good con
dition.
A Good Move
Elsewhere in this issue will be
found ordinance passed by the
council at their last regular
meeting, May the fourth. Ina
general way, it covers some of
the most important things per
taining to the sanitation of the
town. The citizens living in the
incorporate limits of the town
are required to keep their prem
ises clean. No trash is allowed
to be thrown out on the streets
•or remain on the premises, but
provisions must be made to take
care of such until the scavenger
wagon comes along and hauls it
to the dump pile, where it will
be burned.
It is required that the premises
shall be kept clean, all hog pens,
<cow lots and other like unsani
tary places. It will be the duty
of the marshal to look after this,
and cases will be made against
the parties failing to comply
with the law. The streets of the
town are in very nice shape, but
the authorities thought it advis
able to reach out into the private
homes and see that they are
kept in like manner, and the
sanitary condition of the town
will be closely watched. It is
nothing mere than right that
this be done, and the authorities
should have the co-operation of
all who want a clean town.

nual Excursion

annual excursion from Mont
gomery and intermediate pointe

Long Dry Spell Broken
Almost every portion of the
county has been blessed with
rain during the week, and the
indications are that good seasons
will continue until the crops
are safe. Crops that looked like
they were beyond redemption
have put on new life now, grow
ing by leaps and bounds.
Considerable hale and winds
have been reported in different
sections of the country, while no
serious damage has been report
ed in this county. Laurens coun

suffered from the winds, some
farmers losing heavily from
having their barns blown down,
killing several fine mules and
destroying considerable forage.

SUCH favorable reception has been given the announcement tor governor
of J. Randolph Anderson of Savannah, in every section of the State,
as to indicate his-probable election.
Georgia voters are rapidly learning that Mr. Anderson is not only a
business candidate, but that he ts really the only candidate thoroughly fa
miliar with Georgia's affairs through long connection with and persistent
study of them. There are few men in Georgia who have more inti
mate knowledge of the State’s finances than Mr. Anderson.
Born in Savannah, Ga, September 4, 1861, Mr. Anderson was admitted
to the practice of law in 1885. He is a member of the Protestant Episcopal
Church, and a vestryman in Christ Church, Savannah; a member of
Georgia Chapter No. 3, Royal Arch Masons; member of Landrum Lodge,

Knights of Pythias, and member of Savannah Lodge No. 183, B. P. O. Elks.
Mr. Anderson served Chatham county three terms in the house of repre
sentatives, 1905-06, 1909-10 and 1911-12; and in the senate of 1913-14, being
unanimously elected president of that body. In 1908-09 he was a mem
ber of the State Democratic executive committee, and in 1912 went as
delegate from the State at large to the national Democratic convention.
RANDOLPH ANDERSON AS HE IS KNOWN AT HOME.
The best estimate of a man is gathered from the opinion of those
among whom he lives. At a largely attended and enthusiastic meeting of
the business men of Savannah, on April 8, resolutions were unanimously
adopted strongly indorsing Mr. Anderson and urging his election. In
those resolutions the Savannah business men said in part:
"Randolph Anderson has never betrayed a trust nor disappointed a
friend or associate who placed their confidence in him. His business
record among the people at home is one of unsullied integrity; his
public record has been one of marked activity for the best interests of
progressive Georgia.
"He is broad, he is big and he is capable. He is fitted in every way
to give to Georgia the benefit of his wide experience.
Chatham county's Democratic executive committee, in unanimously in
dorsing him, said:
“The people of this county know him to be a man of fine education
and ability, of the strictest Integrity and of exemplary character; a man
who as governor would reflect the best traditions of the state.”
WIDELY INDORSED BY STATE PRESS.
Mr. Anderson has been widely indorsed by the State press in every
section. "A fine business man and will make a good governor,” says the
Marietta Journal. Others say:
"Will make a most acceptable governor.”—Athens Banner.
"Up to us to get behind him and elect him.”—Millen News.
"Will get a good vote in Southwest Georgia."—Bainbridge Searchlight.
“Southeast Georgia papers are all outspoken for him.” —Lyons Progress.
“Foremost man of the present legislature."—Macon Telegraph.
“Anderson will distance all hands.” —Augusta Chronicle.
“Will carry Southeast Georgia practically solid.” —Statesboro News.
"Would make capable and faithful governor.”—Jonesboro News.
"Equal of any man who has filled the governor’s chair in the past twenty
years."—Tifton Gazette.
And there are many others.
