of Underwood we think we recognize
the strongest man the South has been
able to offer to the country since the
war as a presidential candidate He
is of full presidential caliber, ma
tional figure through his wonderfully
successful leadership of the dem
ocratic majority in the lower house Of

AS was but natural, the well plan
ned scheme of the State Democratic
Executive Committee to throw Georgia
into the Wilson camp, regardless as
to whether the majority of the people
want him as the standard bearer OF
the party, is provoking storm OF
protests. Such an evidence Of tota.
lack of the sense of fair play u
Clark, Underwood and Harmon, ana
more especially such evidence of
determination to thwart what may be
the wishes of the majority of the DEM
ocrats of the state, could not fail to
arouse indignant protests. A care
fully planned scheme such as this,
pushed through by an intensely par
tisan committee, dominated through
Washington, is well worthy of the re-
pudiation of the people at the polls.
That feelings of disgust will permeatc
the mass of the party when the facts
become known is beyond question. In
this connection it would be well for all
sound Democrats to read the calm,
conservative expressions of Governor
Brown on the subject Says he:
"The action of the committee sur
prises me because | thought this prin-
ciple had been settled once for all a.
the ballot box in Georgia. 1t was one
of the chief issues in my first cam
paign for governor. At that time the
state committee, for obvious reasons,
provided that the candidate who re-
ceved the most votes for governor
should have the delegation from every
county in the state even those which
had voted against him. The object, o.
course, was to crush the minority by
giving it absolutely no representa-
ton. 1t was not considered possible
that popular Indignation against this
remuneration of a constitutional guar
antee would put the machine respon-
sible for the outrage in the minority,
but that is exactly what happened and
that is what gave me, over my pro-
test, the vote of every delegate from
every county in Georgia. | neither

COTTON CROP
MATURING FAST
BOIL WEEyILS SCARCE
IN EASTERN PART OF COTTON
BELT DETERIORATION
HAS RESULTED.

From Tuesdays Daily.
Intensely hot, dry weather during
the last week forced the cotton crop
far toward maturity. In the Car
olinas, Georgia and portions of Ala
bama heavy deterioration-in excess
of that incident to maturity-was
caused by the severe heat and drouth.
The plant shielded leaves, squares and
young bolls in great quantities. 1t is
generally believed that the deteriora-
ton has gone so far that a rain
would be of little, if any, benefit.
In large portion of Alabama and
in all states west of that state, save
Texas and Louisiana, the plant con-
tinued to grow except on sandy and
other light soils, where maturity has
about been reached. In heavy soils
the plant is growing and fruiting and
a good top crop is promised on this
land in all these states. In the other
states of the belt and on light soils in
those in which fruiting has continued,
the top crop holds forth little prom
Use.
In Texas the crop mas opened unus-
ually rapidly and fields are white
with cotton waiting for pickers who
are more or less scarce. Picking,
however, is going forward as rapidly
as the labor on hand can get it out in
the intense heat The yield is prov
ing better than expected and the quail
ity is generally high, Notwithstanding
some complaint is made from this and
other states of shortness of staple on
account of premature opening. In
Louisiana the crop has reached ma
turity and is suffering greatly from
boil weevil.
Complaint of boil weevil was con-
fined to Louisiana and small portion
of Southwestern Mississippi. The
hot weather has caused their eradi-
cation in Texas, where they were re-
ported to be damaging the crop a
week ago.
Picking has become quite general
over the belt except in the extreme
northern portion. In most localities
the yield of lint is heavier than usual
Most farmers are rushing their crop
to market as fast as ginned, although
a few are disposed to hold the staple
for higher prices.
