WEATHER REPORT

Atlanta, Ga, May 29.-The past
week was quite warm and dry, was
favorable in almost every respect for
agricultural operations, and caused
considerable improvement in crop
conditions generally. 1t is true that
crops in. many sections are still grassy
chiefly on account of the scarcity of
labor, but it is thought that another
week of fair weather will enable this
difficulty to be largely overcome.
Cotton shows marked Improvement;
in the southern counties it is forming
squares, while in the northern divis-
ion late planted has generally come
up well, and chopping' has made good
Roadway. Lice and weevils are doing
some damage in places in the south.
Corn is generally in good condition;
planting lowlands is nearing compile
ton. and cultivation is general; in the
extreme south corn is coming into
silk and is being laid by. Cutting oats
continues; the harvest of winter
wheat will begin in the northern di-
vision in about 10 days, with excellent
prospects. Sweet potato slips are still
being transplanted. Minor crops, pea
nuts, cane, sorghum, rice and tobacco
are improving; watermelons are do
ing well, and large crop is indicated.
Garden and trucw crops are in good
condition, but would be benegtted by
showers; pastures also would be i'm
proved by rain. The shipment of
early varieties of peaches reached a
maximum during the week and will
now decline. Farm work is still back
ward in places, but conditions in this
respect are gradually improving.

NOT done since the United States
entered the war. would take two-
weeks vacation and make tour of tina
cities where training camps and avia-
ton schools are located, and observe
in these places the tangible and WISH
Bile results of what the government
HAS done in the marvelously short
space of year, the probabilities are
that they would change their tune and
become supporters instead of knock
ers.
At least, that's the view of no less
an authority than Charles A. Hansen,
president of the American Bankers
Association, who declared himself to
this effect in an address yesterday to
the Georgia Bankers Association
meeting in annual convention in At
lanta. Mr.. Hansen has just beea
touring the principal. cities where
environments are located, reaching
through the middle west, the south
west and the South, and is profound
ly impressed with the tremendous
results accomplished in the short
space of time since America entered
the war. He was high in his praise
of the magnificent patriotic enthusi-
asm displayed on all sides by the
people of the South.

Howard and Dean Nav
Withdraw From Race
Before Election

Atlanta, Ga, May sit is OPEN
ly predicted in Atlanta that William
Schley Howard and Hub" Dean, of
Gainesville, who are opposing Will
liam ]. Harris for the U. S. Senate,
will both retire from the race before
it is half over. In fact, it is reported
that Howard may announce his with
drawal in the next few days and de-
clare himself candidate for re-elect-
ion to congress. The general belief
is that Dean will not CONTINUE in the
race for longer than few weeks.
| Deans charges against Congress-
man Howard, in which he is accused
of buying liquor for use at the polls
in his election in 1910, then refusing
to pay for it and escaping payment
under the statute of limitations when
the bill was finally suited, have Great
ed quite lively political sensation.
There is no doubt whatever that Con-
gresham Towards friends are keen
ly embarrassed by the charges, which
they find it difficult to- answer. The
other charge that Howard deceived
the President and attempted to mis-
represent his attitude in newspaper
dispatches out of Washington is also
having a marked effect 1t is report
ed that other equally sensational
charges will be forthconS;ng should
Howard remain in the race, which
i now seems improbable.
William J. Harris returned to At
lanta yesterday after winding up a
busy week in the northern part of the
state, where he spoke to number OF
audiences. He was greeted by many
friends yesterday at his headquarters
in. the Kimball House. Congressman
Howard has not yet perfected cam
tpaign organization. His headquarters
here are in charge of J. R. Smith
the Atlanta contractor, and have had
a somewhat deserted aspect for the
past few days.
