somewhere several hundred dollars
which he had received six or eight
months ago from an estate in Ger

never told a living soul where the
treasure was secreted.
Search was instituted and the money
was found in the last pair of trous-

which i'm turn was sewed securely to

GEORGIA COTTON CROP
WILL BE 100000 BALES
State Department Figures Conflict
with Washington.

WIN washington.
Atlanta, Sept. 24.-According to
statement issued by the State Depart
ment of Agriculture to-day, Georgia's
cotton crop will be 1,07S,OOO bales. This
estimate is based upon the September
reportsthat have just been received and
compiled by Commissioner Stevens.
Last year the output was 1,470,000
bales, and this year the crop is estimat-
ed 100000 less. The figures are con-
siderably in conflict with those issued
by the government Department of Ag-
riculture several days ago. The gov
eminent placed the Georgia crop at $40
per cent while Mr.. Stevens estimates
it at only $50 per cent. In June the
estimate was $50 per cent.
Estimates on other crops are as fol-
lows: Corn, Sc: rice, 81; forage crops.
IS; live stock SO; sweet potatoes, 10;
tobacco, 81, peas, Il; ground peas, 81.
Following is a summary of the re-
port: The crop report Of the Georgia
Department of Agriculture issued Sept.
"a, 1908, and based on the answers Of
nearly LOCO letters sent to reliable per-
sons in different sections of every coun-
ty in the state, shows the condition
and prospect of our principal crops up
to the middle Of the current month
The report shows a deterioration in the
prospects of some of the crops, and es-
pecially cotton.
Everything was set back by the late
spring and when the prospect seemed
good for a rally from the early UNI
favorable conditions, a long continued
drought set in, which was at last
broken by chilling rains that did much
damage, especially to cotton. Rust also
has appeared in some sections, and in
many instances the boil worm and
caterpillar have made serious inroads
Hay and rice that had not been
housed suffered considerable damage
Cotton appears to be the greatest suf-
ferer There is very slim chance for
improvement in this crop. Corn is do
ing fairly well, and so is sugar cane.
Corn oil bottom lands is good, but
in some sections poor on uplands. Rice
seems to be holding its own better than
any other crop.
