WEATHER-CROP CONDITION
BULLETIN FOR PAST WEEK

ATLANTA, Ga, Oct. A synopsis
Of weather and crop conditions in Geor-
gia for the week ending Tuesday, was
issued at the weather bureau here to-
day. 1t reads: The weather during
the past week was fine for outdoor
work; the early part was warm, but
toward the close the temperature fell
decidedly, especially in the northern
part of the state, and prevented the
rapid opening of late cotton bolls in
the north. The weather has been too
dry for fall gardens and turnips, which
are poor. Cotton is about all gathered
II the southern division, and is proba-
bly, two-thirds out in the rest of the
state. The weevil is advancing rapid
ly north and east, and has been OBJ
served in the vicinity of Macon. Hay
has been about all saved Peanuts,
sugar cane and pecans are promising.
Harvesting corn and sweet potatoes
and fall blowing continue.
Accompanying the bulletin is the
announcement that further bulletins
will be discontinued throughout the
remainder of the season.

Between Man and Man.

Confucianisin, the prevailing doc
tfine of China, is neither a religion
nor a system Of transcendental or cos
mic philosophy.
1t is an agnosdc system OF ethics and
a system of practical and purely tenn
poral common-sense philosophy which
sees no farther than this earth.
1t takes practically no notice what
ever OF the question of an after life,
of eternity, of future rewards and pun
ishments, Of God.
1t teaches merely that one ought to
do good because IL is mans duty to
do good. Confucianism is entirely con-
,erned with the relation between man
and man.
