INSISTS THE CROP is SHORT
COMMISSIONER STEVENS SAYS HIS
ESTIMATE is NONE TOO LARGE.
In Middle and North Georgia Cotton Is
lust Beginning TO Be Marketed. Early
Frost Would Still Reduce Yield.

Hon. o. B. Stevens, state commits
sioner OF agriculture, who has been ia
Savannah, in speaking of the cotton
crop to Press reporter said be had
no reasons to change the figures of the
department in the estimate made by it
of the crop in Georgia short time
ago. The figures then were given at
1,076,0 900 bales this year. The estimate
by the department last year was $780,
600 bales.
"The crop is short notwithstanding
the increased acreage" said Mr.. SteY-
ems. "But if the present prices hold
the farmers will receive more money
for their cotton than they did last year.
AS short crop costs less to gather,
the farmers will have more money to
their credit at the end of the season
than in some years past.
alt is impossible to say what per-,
centage OF the crop has been marketed
up to now, but so tar the farmers have
been rushing the picking with all pos
sible speed, and have in addition got.
ten the cotton to market as quickly as
possible, as the price has been such as
TO attract them.
"In north and middle Georgia the
crop in just beginning to De marketed,
while in south Georgia the farmers
have been selling cotton steadily for
the past i've weeks. In the present
state of the crop an early frost will
mean that it will be even less than the
| figures | have named.

One day last week a man ap-
preached the house where Ira Per-
singer lives at Ben Lomond. there
being no one at home except Mrs.
Persinger. the man demanded that
he be given the privilege of taking
from the house what he wanted,
and she bravely denied him, and
told him that he should not enter
the house, whereupon he struck
her an awful blow and then kicked
her. She was unconscious for about
two hours. The thief and brute
stole some small articles and left
the place while Mrs. Persinger was
still unconscious. His whereabouts
could not be found until day or
SO later. While the people around
Mr.. John Leeper's store at Ashton,
had gone to dinner, this same man
had taken good boxes and piled
them up and climbed in the second
story window and hid himself I'M
der the bed. Upon their return
they accidentiy discovered this in
truder in the store-room and took
charge of him and brought him up
to this place and landed him in
jail. Mrs Persinger came up and
identified the man as being the
same one that had assaulted her.
