COTTON CUMMINGS I.'@
FALLING BEHIND

Dublin, Aug. 24.-Cotton ginnings
here for the new season are already
falling seriously behind for the same
period as last year, only about one
fourth as much cotton having been
ginned this year as was the same time
last year
Receipts OF Dublin one year ago Sat
urday We're 1890 bales. This year, up
last Saturday, covering the same per-
iod as the previous year, the receipts
were q bales. One ginner expressed
the sentiment of all when he said,
"Wle started late this year, and we
will finish early"
Reports from the county during the
past few days are that the best
fields of cotton in the entire county
will not make over 40 percent of a
normal yield, and that is much higher
than most of the fields will turn out.
Predictions of a 10000 bale crop in
this county seem to be receiving
strong support now.

ence being that a goats hide made
into leather was worth it's weight
in silver

LOWNDES SUPPLYING
FINE BREEDING HOGS

Valdosta, Ga, Aug 24.--That Lown-
des county is being relied upon to sup
ply other sections of the state with
high-bred hogs for breed hogs for
breeding purposes was demonstrated
yesterday when H. B. Rails, Jr., agri
cultural field agent for the Southern
Railway, came here here to secure a
high-bred boar to be located at the
head of herd in another part of the
state.
Mn. Rails has been placed in charge
of the hog and cattle development
section of the Southern Railway
work, with this part OF Georgia as his
field of operations, and he says that
people in other sections are already
asking for these high bred animals
from Lowndes county, the impression
having gained ground that they are
superior to hogs from other parts of
the country, because they are Geor-
gia raised, hence acclimatized, and
therefore less liable to die which
adds to their value. And then, it has
become known that the stock farms
in Valdosta have only the very best
breeds of animals to the public, the
county as whole having already
scrub and razor back animal of years
ago.

Russian John d. Rockefeller
ArTiUes in ". Y. Znc0gnit0
Ritz Bellboy Says He Uses Only $500 Bills and He
Always Enters Taxi Backward, While His Secre-
tary Says He Has Conferred at State Department

His name is Batolin and he comes
from Russia. His first name and why
he came have not been disclosed. Ac-
cording to his secretary, Mr..
Michaels, who is also reluctant to give
out his own first name, Mr.. Batolin
has held several conferences with
Colonel House and officials of the State
Department.
According to no less an authority
than bell-hop at the Ritz Carlton,
the mysterious patron is "the John D.
Rockefeller of Russia" Mr.. Michaels
says his principal has been in the
country some time, but that the State
Department asked the United Press
and The Associated Press to make
no mention Of it. The bell-hop says
that Russia's Rockefeller always gets
into a taXicab backwards.
Mr.. Michaels alleges still further
that since his arrival here, Mr.. Batolin
has been in conference with numerous
prominent men. The bell-hop adds to
this the information that he proffers
$500 bills in payment for anything he
purchase.
That is all that could be learned yes
terday from the above mentioned
sources of the individual who has been
occupying a suite at The Ritz Carlton
for some time. Whoever he is, hotel
employees say, he rarely goes out. But
he is never at home when reporters
call
Mr. Batolin ran true to form yes
