HoW THE FoURTH VS. sPENT
me Celebration OF the Birthday OF the
Nation IN GOodlaId Lively

Again GoOdIand has to her credit q
genuine effort to celebrate the birth
day Of the nation. The Fourth Of July
celebration this year was not the best
0y any means which GOodla1d has
enjoyed, but nevertheless the day was
one Of fun, thanksgiving and patriotic
feeling.
The day was UnfavOrable from a
weather point Of view, there being a
hard wind from the south and q hot
sun. Dust filed the air, until along
toward evening when clouds were
swept from the south and a sprinkle Of
rain followed, which Ushered in a cool
and refreshing evening.
The calithumpisn parade at nine
O'Clock g. m presented a variety in
dress replete with the grotesque and
ridiculous. Paper horns and musical
instruments lent a very sonOrous &C
compartment to the cries and laughter
Of the children.
This amusement was followed BY the
climbing Of the creased pole, potato,
sack, and foot races.
At IL o'clock the patriotic services at
the opera house began. After the
reading Of the declaration of independ-
ence, Rev. J. Ed Stevens delivered the
Grafton.
The afternoon sport began with a
live pigeon shoot, which resulted in

News Notes and Personal Mention from the
Fourth District Community.
P. M. johnson, one OF our we'll to do
colored farmers, sold two bales of
cotton in Dawson last Saturday that
brought him $1,000. Fillmore is one
of our worthy colored citizens and mer-
it's the success that he has attained
farming. He made money; bought and
paid for home with cotton selling at
4 and 5 cents per pound, and now that
it is selling for cents he is in still
better shape.
DR.. T. A. Woods informs us that
there has been more sickness through
out this section during the past Few
weeks than he has ever known. The
doctor has had larger practice lately
than he could well manage, though he
has been very successful. He has
treated nearly one-hundred cases OF
fever during the summer and has not
lost single case.
Young John and Eugene Cham
bliss, two of our pupils, have been
quite sick since our last, but both are
better at this writing. Mrs. T. F..
Hayes has also been on the sick list,
but is better at present.
Rev. Joseph Carr, the pastor of the
Methodist church at this place, con-
cluded not to prOtract the meeting at
his last appointment, as previously an
nounced, on account of so much sick
ness in the community.
Quite crowd of negroes assembled
on little Nochway, near this place, Sum
day morning last to witness baptising.
1t is estimated that between three and
four thousand negroes were present.
We regret to learn that Mr.. W. S.
Thornton has been quite sick since
our last. Mr.. Thornton is man of un-
nsualI good health, and sickness goes
hard with him.
Mr.. T. G. Jones of Coleman has been
spending few days with the family of

But her happy anticipation quickly van

SUBSECTION CROPIS SHORT
SOME IMPORTANT FIGURES BY
COMMISSIONER STEVENS.
Georgia's Yield Will Be Less Than
Last Years By Fifty Thousand
Bales or More.

commissioner o. B. Stevens of the
Georgia department of agriculture has
complied statistics indicating thai
the cotton crop of Georgia for 190(
will be from $4,000 to 200, 900 bales
shorter than in 1899.
Commissioner Stevens, as pres.
ident of the Cotton States Commits.
sioners' Association, receivedsreports
from commissioners of the different
states to the effect that the crop
in the south as q whole is short.
Indications on August l were that
every state in the cotton belt would
be behind on the staple with the
exception OF Texas, which is report
ed to be- per cent ahead of the aY-
erage crop OF the last FIVE years.
The figures prepared by the depart
ment show that in Georgia an average
crop for the last five years is l,295, 800
bales.
The reports from the counties of
Georgia are that IA per cent. of an
average crop will be realized. Twenty
six per cent of the average crop gives
95S, 1872 bales for the year against an
estimated crop for 1899 of between u
900 900 and 200, 900 bales.
Ii is further estimated from the re-
ports in the hands of the commissioner
that the cotton acreage is 3 per cent
less than in 1899.
HOW FIGURES WERE OBTAINED
The astonishing figures on which is
estimated that Georgia's supply of the
heecy staple is way below the average
have been in preparation by the de-
partment of agriculture for the past
thirty days. Blank reports were sent
TO the leading farmers in every county
with the request that they fill in the
figures showing the exact condition OF
all the crops, with the prospects ahead
Every county that produces cotton re-
sponded with an estimate for August
lst with the exception of two counties,
and these two have been credited with
gain of 10 per cent over last year.
AS to the accuracy of the total esti-
mate COmmissi 0ner Stevens is salts
fed, believing that his report rep
resents the exact conditions on Au-
gust lst.
MUST AFFECT THE PRICE.
The cotton crop is short in prospect
on account of the heavy rains in the
early summer and the drought in the
latter part of the season. Commission
er Stevens states that the conditions
in August and September will have
much TO do with the total figures and
his estimate is made for August LIST
alone Georgia is the second cotton
producing state in the union, and it is
not doubted that an appreciable fall
ing off in the crop of this state IS
bound to affect the price of the staple.
Within the last two weeks Commits
sioner Stevens has received from the
commissioners of other states their es-
Inmates on the cotton output. These
estimates, like GeOrgia's, are on con-
dition as found on August 1st. Ten
nessee is reported to be 10 per cent
of, South Carolina and Virginia II
per cent, Louisiana s, Florida 10, AL
ALBANIA Il and Mississippi rs. Texas
alone, which ranks first as cotton
producer, shows a gain, but of only 2
per cent above the average.

Some of the young boys around Wor-
ner say there is but one remedy for
heart trouble and that's to get married.
| hope they won't get into it as bad as
Jack and | did when we got married,
for our good ladies next called for
new dresses and shoes and we
had no money to buy them with. OF
course that brought trouble at once.
The farmers are in hurry to push
their cotton to market. Some of the
farmers will carry most of their cotton
to the Plains. If the Plains continues
to hold out it will weigh much of Ter
rell's cotton this fall. It's mighty bad
for a dog to run Off from home, but if
you don't feed him he will run about to
hunt crumbs,
Last Sunday Mr.. Jesse Daniel and
Miss Alice jackson of Sumter were
united in marriage, and on Monday
night the boys gave them farewell
salute with their guns and tin pans,
and Jack and | thought Christmas had
come in the long month of August.
MIR. w. E. Webb is going to weigh
cotton for ]. w. Tilley, at the Parrott
warehouse. Mr.. Webb is one of our
most energetic young farmers and we
hope that Mr.. Tilley will be pleased
with his work.
Mr.. T. B. Rabonwill move to the wire
grass this fall, and will make Worth
county his future home. Mr.. RADON is
well known farmer in this communl-
ty, and we regret his departure,
Mr.. J. L. Lansford, who has been at
tending to MIR. Kenneys mill for three
years, is going to give it up the 18th
of September. He has made good
miller.

Mr.. w. J. r. Davis is one of our best
farmers. He has the best crop he ever
had.
Uncle Jackie Daniel has got his new
gin at work and it gives good satisfac-
ton.
Mr.. Joe Bridges baby is no better at
