Atlantans Open Homes to Corn Club Boys

But, although the United States war
department readily assented, there was

hibits the loan or use of military prop.
erty to, or by, any others than the ma
tional guard.
While doing everything in his power
to further the interests of the corn
show and the corn club boys, Governor
Brown was compelled to decline to au-
thorize the use of these cots, because
he could not violate the law
This left the corn show committea
confronted by an embarrassing prob
lem and after carefully going over the
situation, it was found that there was
no satisfactory solution except to an
peal to the we'll known and generous
hospitality of Atlanta's citizens, conf

and in full measure.
Chance to Do Boys Good Turn.
Many of these boys have never been
to Atlanta before; many of them have
not even been out of their home coun-
ties, but they are, every one of them,
anxious to see and learn.
II is not only an opportunity for Al
lantans to do a good turn for the boys
but according to those who entertained
some of them last year it will be
pleasure for them to have one or two or
more of these boys in their homes.
1--WE had four of them with US last
year," said Colonel w. L. Peel land
enjoyed them very much. 1t was real
pleasure, and we shall be glad to have
four more this year"
II certainly shall be glad to repeat
my experience of last year with the
corn club boys" said " H. Kriegshaber
This is the general testimony from
hundred Of those who had corn club
boys in their homes in 1911.
Atlantans who are willing to take
one, two, three or four of these boys for
two nights-some of them will be here
for only one night-have been requested
to communicate with the Atlanta
Chamber of Commerce. They are urged
to call telephone 507S Main, give name
and address and state the number of
boys they can take care Of

AtIantans today responded to the APP
peal of the Chamber of Commerce for
sleeping accommodation for two nights
for the zoo Georgia boys who will be
here December 4. and for the corn
show.
. Before the day was over accommo-
cations had been assured 152 of the
young farmels and the list of hosts
numbered the foremost people of At
lanta And the committee has only
just started working. More than 500
must still be provided
Disappointed in the effort to get the
military cots stored in the Fifth regi-
ment armory in the Auditorium, the
corn show committee of the Chamber
of Commerce has been unable to tind
any other solution of the problem Of
taking cane of these boys for the two
nights they will be in the city, except to
appeal to the hospitality of Atlanta s
citizens.
Homes are wanted for two nights
Wednesday and Thursday. December 4
and 5-for approximately 700 boys,
some of the best boys in Georgia
Belong to Good Families,
These boys belong to the best agri-
cultural families in the state They
are the pick of the 10000 country boys
now enrolled in the Georgia corn clubs,
and they are coming to Atlanta as d
reward of merit.
The boys who will be here for the
show are those who have come
through" who have made more corn to
the acre than their competitors in the
Hsame county and who have done it in
accordance with the rules and regula-
tions of the United States department
of agriculture.
These are the boys who have taught
their fathers how to grow corn and who
have been largely responsible for the
increase of Georgia's corn crop in the
last five years by 3O,OOO,0Oo bushels.
The corn show committee had hoped
that this appeal would be unnecessary;
that it would be able to get for these
boys the use of the military cots in the
regimental armory

Turks Confident
Tide Has Turned

CONSTANTINOPLE. Nov. 23.-Al-
though the bombardment of the works
along the Chatalja lines by the Bull
Sarians continues, a belief is growing
here that the Bulgars have temporarily
abandoned the idea of taking the forts
by storm and will hold this city under
siege while peace is effected
Encouraged by reports from Sofia
that the Bulgarian cabinet is drawing
up modified peace demands for the
porte and by the abandonment for the
time being of offensive operations at
Chatalja by the Bulgars, the Turks are
boasting that the war watch is about
to swing.
The distant thunder of the heavy Bull
garian siege guns could be distin-
guished from the Pera suburbs today,
but later dispatches from Nazim Pasha,
the Turkish commander-in-ch chief and
minister of war, stated that no Bull
garian or Servian infantry was en-
gagged.
DardaneIles Safe. ....
Government officials profess no fears
over the apparent aim of the Balkan
allies to seize the Dardanelles. From
the Aegean sea to the sea of Marmora.
the Dardanelles strait is filled with
mines and it is guarded by supposedly
impregnable forts upon the Asiatic as
well as the European side.
Turkish reserves were sent on trans
ports to the Gallipoli forts at the ex-
IRENE western end of the strait today,
as it had been reported that the allies
were converging upon the fortress there
and upon the garrison at Dadeaghatch
from three sides; the Greeks from the
west. the Servians from the north and
the Bulgarians from the east.

EVOLUTION OF COTTON
SEEN ON ONE FARM

Quitman, Ga, May 16.-This week
farmers in this county are planting
cotton, siding cotton and chopping
cotton all on the same farm One far
mer said this morning that he is re-
planting 40 acres of cotton, and this
planting was the third he had made
which seems to show that the Geor.
gia farmer refuses to be discourage
on the subject of cotton. On Other
parts of his farm he is siding anC
'chopping cotton. For several week,
the frequent hard rains have resulted
in very diseouraging conditions. an,
this week the weather is ideal, ant
a more hopeful tone prevails. Th
oats which were planted befor,
Christmas are very fine, but all those
planted in January and February are
showing rust to considerable ex-
tent.

take it anyway" And the locals took
the game anyway, despite the fact that
they were compelled to play several
amateur players on account of the fail
ure of other players ii arrive in time
for the game. These players, how
ever, will be in the lineup today, so
that rattling good game is promised
for this afternoon.
The crowd that assembled to see
Mayor Mathis toss the first ball across
the plate, officially opening the ball
season locally, and then to witness
the game that followed was well
pleased when the locals after having
put up a plucky game against the fast
Columbus team, finally made good By
pushing the winning run across the
plate, when Geesling, the Columbus
catcher, dropped the ball with run
ner within few plate of the plate.
No one expected the locals to play
in mid-season form in the opening
game, especially with several places
filled in for the time with high school
players but the Champs got better as
the game advanced, and what looked
like a walk-over for Columbus when
the game opened turned into an un-
usual victory for the locals. 1t was
anybody's game for several innings,
, in fact, up to the final rally of the
Goals in the ninth, when several err
rors in succession on the part of the
visitors allowed the locals to tally the
winning run
A new pitcher will appear in the
box for Americus this afternoon. and
there will be two other new players
| in the lineup, so that a warm game
is promised from start to finish Co
| lumbus will likewise put up it's best
! lineup for today, so that it will be
a decisive game, the locals having lost

grounds and having won the first game
of the two-game series now being
played here.

perfected by the local Council Of
Safety Chapter, Daughters of the
American Revolution, as the result of
work that has been done recently in

Won in the ninth"

Won in the ninth"
That tells the story of yesterday af-
ternoon's struggle between the locals
and the Columbus team at Dudley
Field, and the fact that Americus and
not Columbus came out finally as the
winner proved especially pleasing to
the fans here. The score was to 6
in favor of the locals.
If Christy Matthewson had been
present, he could easily have gained
inspiration for an entirely new revis-
ion of his famous baseball story, "Won
In The Ninth" because the Champs
snatched victory from the jaws of de-
feat when it seemed sure that they
could not possibly win the first game
of the season on their ground. But
they did and that's what made all
feel good when the winning run was
scored in the last inning.
1t was the fulfilling of Tommy
Hooks prophecy before the game that
'We must have this game-well just
