SOUTH GEORGIA
SHOWS A SLUMP
THIS SECTION OF STATE is NOW
FALLING OFF lN The
TAX RETURNS.

Atlanta. Aug 4-From present IN
dications south Georgia is going to
show a slump in tax returns this year,
with middle and north Georgia making
steady gains as a general proposi-
tion.
To date some sixty odd counties
have made returns to the comptroller
general, and the heaviest losses are
i'll south Georgia counties Emanuel,
Ware and others have shown falling
OF. Lowndes is a notable exception,
with the fine increase of 1851 ,959 over
last year.
So far DeKa.3 is the banner coun-
ty among the smaller ones in the
matter Of increased property values
the county showing gain of $754,-
945. Floyd comes forward with the
big gain of s601, 1875, while Clarkes
increase is s42S,425. Bihb's gain is
s1,250,555.
There is no explanation of the fall
ing off in south Georgia, other than
that section was hit harder by the
panic than any other part OF the state
as the lumber interests are very
large there The total gains to date
over last year are nearly $5,0G0,000,

potatoes, known as the Early Rose
Hill. The party who first grew
these potatoes in this country sent
to New York state few years ago
and bought one potato for which he
paid IS cents. From tbs potato he
got the start, and sold Mr.. Small

careful in buying good clean seed,

be one of the top notchers.
