Atlanta VIII DebaF Those Strangers

Have Been in Contact With the
Infectious DIsease-The Board OF
Health Attempts to AlIay the
Fears of the Citizens of Atlanta.
Chattanooga QUarnntines GeOr-
gia's CapitaI-Crowds of Refugees
Expected.
Atlanta, Ga. Sept 1.-THE board Of
health met this afternoon and decided to
adopt precautionary measures TO prevent
the introduction of yellow fever cases into
the city. This will be done by having in
coming trains from the infected district
examined by Inspectors. There is to be
no quarantine against any of the infected
cities and refugees from any of them will
be welcomed unless they have been in act
ual contact with the fever, in which event
they will be required to fumigate before
coming in.
Mayor Collier was notified to-day by
Mayor Ochs of Chattanooga that that
city had guaranteed against Atlanta.
Chattanooga is fearful that some of the
refugees from the infected district, who
are now flocking to Atlanta, will proceed
thither, and in order to prevent this ev-
erybody from Atlanta will have to present
health certificates before they can get into
Chattanooga.
The local health board to-day arranged
the details for presenting their bills of
health President Alexander of the board
of health issued a statement to-day, which
was concurred in by all the other physi-
clans of the health board. saying that there
is no danger in yellow fever getting a
foothold In Atlanta. He says this germ
cannot live i'm this climate and assures the
public that there is no reason to be alarm
ed because the gates have been thrown
down and a general invitation extended to
refugees from the infected sections.
A special train load of refugees from
New Orleans and intermediate points is
expected tomorrow. The troops at the
New Orleans barracks, 900 in number,
have also been ordered here on account of
the fever there. They will be camped at
Mcpherson barracks until the danger is
past.

CUT SHORT BY ONE FOURTH.
THE COTTON CROP IN GEORGIA Is
ALMOST 4 FAILURE.

The Caterpillar Has Appeared in
south Georgia TO Add to the DAM
nge by Drought and Excessive
Rafns-The Past week Has Not
Been Favorable 10 the Hopes OF
the Farmer-The Government Re
mort Also Has a Decided Blue
Tinge.
Atlanta. Ca. Sept 1.-THE cotton crop
OF the state seems to have had a serious
setback and nothing like an average
yield is expected. The state department
Of agriculture and the government crop
experts agree on this.
The weekly crop bulletin issued to-day
by the local branch of the weather bu-
reau has this to say: The general
weather condition during the past seven
davs have been very detrimental TO grow
ing crop and the condition of cotton has
deteriorated very much since the last is
sue Of this bulletin. The boles are open
ing so rapidly that it is impossible to
pick 1t fast enough. The top crop is al
most an assured failure, as the plant Is
shedding so rapidly.
"The cotton crop for the state will not
exceed 70 per cent of the average.
There is great difficulty in obtaining
enough hands"
At the same time the following state
ment is given out from the state depart
ment Of agriculture by Commissioner
Nesbit. THE caterpillar, one Of the worst
foes of the cotton plant, has made its
appearance in Southwest Georgia. The
department has a report from Albany to
the effect that this worm is doing great
damage 10 cotton crops in that section.
mot long ago the crop of Southern
Georgia was greatly damaged by very
hot spell. succeeded by drenching rain,
which caused cotton to shed the squares
that would have made top crop. The
September report of the condition is
ten points down for the whole
south. and those familiar with
Southern Georgia think the
depreciation already made there by the
shedding Is 20 10 80 per cent. With cater
pillars following the loss of the TOP crop,
the cotton outlook in Southwest Georgia
is nothing like as good as 1t was month
ago
AT this season the caterpillar is very
much dreaded. It usually follows exces-
sive dampness, such as come with the
August rains The weather for several
weeks has been so dry that caterpilars
were hardly expected this season. So far
as known, caterpillars have not appeared
in other states this year and the weather
conditions are not such as to make gen.
eral visitation of these worms probable"
From these statements, which are based
upon carefully digested information, il
NAV be taken as certain that this years
CROP in Georgia will be at least one-fourth
less than last years.
