NEED FAIR WEATHER
FOR MAKING HAY CROP

Atlanta, Aug. 9.-Some improve
ment took place in general crop con
ditions in many sections during the
past week, especially when farmers
had an opportunity to cultivate crops
and kill grass and weeds, but the con
tinued cool, showery weather, with
insufficient sunshine, has been deteri-
mental. On a good many farms crops
are again cleans and well cultivated.
Cotton in some sections has rust, and
is shedding; the plants are large but
poorly fruited; hollis are opening gen
orally over the southern portion OF the
state, where picking is becoming gen
eral. The damage by boil weevils has
been small Corn looks well, but bot
tom-land corn will be almost total
loss in many sections; fodder pulling
is progressing. Sweet potatoes, pea
nuts, late gardens, and truck rcops
progressed nicely; planting turnips
has begun. Pastures are fine, but the
grass is getting very rank and falr
weather is much needed for haying.

CRISP BOYS AND
GIRLS ATTEND
SEVEN SCHOLARSHIPS FOR LIVE
CORN CANNING CLUB WIN,
NERS SLnvE TO GOOD ADVAN-
TAGE.

The ten days short course at the
state agricultural college at Athens
for the benefit of the canning club
girls and corn club boys of the state

COTTON PICKING
Time IN CRISP
BIG FARM WAGONS LOADED WITH
LABORERS GO RUMBLING OVER
ROADS EARLY EVERY MORNING.

Wake up, niggers, it's risin' time;
Grab your sack-l'se got mine;
To de field us gwine to go;
Cotton pickin' time ergin, you know.
Hear dem niggers, how dey sing;
Cotton pickers' song-it sho do ring;
Sweetest music of de gin;
Dis am cotton pickin' time ergin.
1t is cotton picking time again and
the pickers are needing the call of the
white fields. The rumble of heavy wag-
ons on the streets is now heard at the
crack of day, and the rollicking, some
times boistrous, merriment of the pick
ers is heard.
They are going by the hundreds to
gather in the fleecy staple, and the
servant problem. always strenuous in
the cotton season, is developing. Many
of the good housewives will feel bit
more the strenuous duties of the
household, and some who are not US
ually accustomed to doing so may
have to do the cooking for while.
But this comes every year. and al
most all but the newlyweds are used
to it,
On the other hand, the arrival of
cotton picking time is the forerunner
of brighter, more hopeful. prosperous
times, and it's coming is to the bust
ness man, banker and those of all
walks of life by no means unwecome.

GUARD THIS WAY TO BORDER.

Indications are that the Seaboard
railway will be the direct route of
the troop trains carrying the South
Carolina national guard to the Mexi-
can border, and that the trains will
be operated from Columbia by way
of Savannah, through Cordele to Mont
gomery. There they will be trans
ferred to the Louisville & Nashville
railway to New Orleans and thence
directly to the camps on the border.
An entire train of sleepers, twenty
six cars in number, passed through
Cordele over the Seaboard road Sun
day morning going to Savannah and
from there to Columbia. The train
was for the accommodation of the
South Carolina troops to transport
them to the border, and this train is
expected to pass through Cordele to-
day or tomorrow, carrying thousands
of soldiers
Other trains to be used in conveying
the Carolina troops have been moving

DANIELS DRAWS
CONTEMPT fine
DOOLY COUNTY FARMER SEVERE
LY CRITICISED COURT AND So
LIclTOR ABOUT PROSECUTION
OF BANK OFFICIALS.

Because he severely criticized the
action of the court in connection with
the disposition of the case of. the de-
funct Farmers & Merchants bank of
Byromville, which came up for con-
sideration at the May term of Dooly
superior court, w. C. Daniel a well
known farmer of Dooly county, was
arraigned on a contempt charge before
Judge w. F. George Tuesday and a
sentence of $3.50 or 80 days confine
ment in the county Jail imposed upon
him. Daniel was arraigned in supe-
rior court, which is now in session at
Vienna He paid the fine, concluding
not to contest the case or Judge
Georges authority through the high.
er courts.
Daniels criticism of the courts ac-
ton was in the form of lengthy arti-
Gle, appearing in the Byromville Her
aid of last Saturdays issue. Both
Judge George and Solicitor ]. B. Wall
were referred to in bittereSt eXcoria-
ton, accompanied by burning sar-
casm. The allegations of the Dooly
farmer were in effect that there had
been something more than the in
fluence of the bank heads, to prevent
a vigorous prosecution of those respon-
sible for the bank failure. After the
case was set for consideration, some
thing happened all of a sudden which
changed the whole thing" charged
Daniel.
