their long string OF victories some time
ago IL looked as il they were climbing
up into the first division. but now they
have stopped hitting the ball and are
losing consistently.
Their best hitters have fallen off
lately in their stick work. and even

MUCH COTTON KILLED.
Mills Appealed to Not to Crush More
Cotton Seed i'm Order That Re-
planting May be Done.

Atlanta. Ga, April 25.-With mil
lions of acres of young cotton de-
stroyed by the cold weather which to-
day Overspread the entire cotton belt.
with the unusual April accompani-
ment in many sections of snow and
sleet, the South has suffered its most
disastrous financial set back perhaps
since the Civil war. Besides cotton.
young vegetation of every description
suffered from the freezing tempera-
lures and fruit was more or less dam
aged in every Southern State, except
Florida.
Reports received tonight indicate
that the cold snap has not abated in
Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee
northern Alabama, Louisiana, Missis-
sippi and even further west and for
much of this territory a heavy frost
and freezing temperatures are pre-
diGted for Tuesday morning. In At,
lGnta and throughout the northern
half of Georgia, except near the At
lantic, the thermometer has been be-
low 40 degrees above zero all day.
Atlanta woke this morning to find
snow had covered houses and the
thermometer down to 81, an eXepri-
enCe never before recorded after the
first few days of April Snow fell as
far south as Selma, Ala, Columbus,
Miss. and Columbus. Ga, and in
north Georgia, Tennessee and in
parts Of north Alabama and Mssis-
sippi. the fall ranged from one to
four inches.
and Alabama today were appealed to
for seed for replanting purposes and
state officials implored the mills 70
crush no more seed until the farm
crs have been supplied. 1t is doubt
ful, however, if sufficient seed can be
secured, even at the record prices be-
ing offered, to replant onc-half of the
area Of young cotton destroyed by the
cold.
At Columbus. Ca, tonight one cot
tOnsced oil mill announced that their
entire supply was at the command of
the planters and would be sold for 81
per buShcl. Today carload of seed
was shipped from that point to the
Mississippi 'elta, and many tele-
grams were received from all sec
tions of the South asking for an al
lotment Of seed supplies.
