GEORGIA CROP OUTLOOK.

Atlanta, June 3O.-Fo11owing
is the summary of the Georgia
crop report for the week Just
ended. The rainfall for the
week was uneven1y distributed:
in some southern sections it was
heavy and damaging, but in mid
die and northern districts the
showers that occurred during the
latter part of the week were very
beneficial. Considerable prog
ress was made in cultivation of
crops, although many fields are
still grassy, owing to scarcity of
labor, Cotton improved slightly
during the week, but continues
very small for the season, and is
fully three weeks late.
Plants are blooming in south
ern counties, and squares are
forming in a few middle and
northern localities. The contin-
uance of low night temperatures
is detrimental feature. Some
correspondence states that a
good crop may be made if the
seasons is very late, but the pre-
sent outlook is discouraging.
Corn is making fair growth but
tasseling low.

CROP REPORT.

Washington, June 3O.-The
weather bureaus weekly sum-
mary of crop conditions says:
The condition of cotton is very
generally improved throughout
the belt, but continues late and
is suffering for cultivation in the
Eastern districts, where low
night temperatures have checked
growth.
Lice and rust have caused in
jury in North Carolina and Mis-
souri,, and in Texas boil weevils
are spreading and are more iniur-
lous. The crop is also SUFFERING
Tor cultivation in portions of
LOUISIANA and Central and North
ern Texas. Sunshine and that
are generally needed, especially
in the central and eastern dist
riots.
in the tobacco districts the
weather conditions have been
very favorable for this crop
which, however is in need of cul-
tivation in Maryland.

THE SOLDIER BOYS RETURNED
CO. M GREETED BY HOME FOLKS
Looked Like Grim Veterans of a Camnaion
When They Arrived Wednesday.

The veterans of the Griffin
campaign arrived on the s: IS
Atlantic & Birmingham Wednes-
dav morning and were met at
the station by the Fitzgerald
Brass Band.
Their summer uniforms were
soiled and their faces were sun
burned showing plainly the serv-
ice on the plains of Camp North
ern. Each man was much more
a soldier than he expected to be
when he enlisted. They were
tired and hungry but full of en-
thusiam.
The strict discipline at Griffin
had aroused their soldierly am
bition and created a higher re-
spect for the soldier life.
Co. M was the largest COM
pany In camp and one of the best
disciplined. They learned a
great deal and came home one of
thebest drilled com panies in The
state. They made a favorable
impression in camp and deserve
the praise of all good citizens of
the colony.

OTTUMWANS NAMED.
LOCAL BURLINGTON OFFICIALS
PROMINENT MEMBERS OF
RAILWAY CLUB.
Are Members of Committee to In
crease Membership of Organization
| Designed for Mutual Benefit of Off
cials-May Hold Meetings in City.

Trainmaster M. w. Robinson and
Roadmaster w. J. Calvin of the Ottum-
wa division of the Burlington, have been
named as members of special COM
mittee to increase the membership of
the Iowa Railway club, an organiza-
ton composed of the officials of
roads operating in Iowa. The club will
resume it's monthly meetings Septem-
Der 10 after three months summer
vacation and the local members will
| endeavor to have some Of the coming
meetings held in this city. The gath
erings formerly have been held in Des
Moines. but it will be urged at the next
session that instead of making the CAPT
tai city the permanent meeting place
the gathering should be held in differ
ent Iowa cities.
Plans of the Organization.
The club was organized for the pur-
pose OF discussing the various ques-
tons that pertain to the operation of
the big railway systems, and to ex-
change views on different subjects The
meetings are of great benefit to the of.
ficials. At each session committee
is appointed to prepare papers on di-
vers subjects of interest and at the fol-
lowing meeting these papers are read.
1t enables the officials to profit by the
views of their fellow members.
To Increase Membership.
The attendance at the meetings held
last year was very good, although a
number of the Iowa officials were not
members of the club. The success with
which the organization has met in both
business and a social way, however
has aroused the members to the neces-
sity OF gathering all the officials of the
lines operating in the state into the
fold. The committee which has been
appointed to build up the membership
| will report at the September meeting
and it is anticipated that large mum
Der OF new members will be taken in
then. At that meeting it is planned
to have present General Manager
