DENIES CUT IN ACREAGE

Augusta, May 25.-Phil Campbell,
who is in Augusta at the meeting OF
the agricultural agents, made the
statement to that gathering yesterday,
that the announcement made at New
Orleans that there had been a sub
stantial decrease in the cotton acre
age in Georgia, is not borne out by
reports made by agricultural agents
jim this state He said that data filed
by the farms agents indicated that
there had been no material decrease
in this state. In the southeastern pOr-
tion of Georgia there has been an in
creased acreage.
1t was shown at the meeting that
the bee industry in the state is in a
most healthy condition. Modern me-
thods have been introduced and the
line is progressing eXcellently.
C. A. Martini expert in wheat made
the statement that wheat in Georgia,
showed the highest state of cultiva-
ton and was freer from drawbacks
than in any other state in theT1nion,
because the remedies to combat dis
eases in wheat were discovered and
applied contemporaneously with the
beginning of wheat growing in this
state.
1t was the opinion that crops of all
kinds, as a rule, are late, but good,
not being far enough advanced to be
hurt by the cool weather.

and farm experts was attended by a

Newspapers Are Facing The Great
est Crisis In The History of the
Industry.

S. S. Carvalho, one of the best
known newspaper men in the United
States and formerly the general man.
ager of all the Hearst publications,
stated in a recent interview that
newspapers are facing the greatest
crisis in the history of the industry
He,said that 20 per cent more paper
is being used than is manufactured;
that high prices are inevitable, and
that paper stocks are already at the
danger line.
Mr.. Carvalho bases the increased
price of paper on the four following
things:
"First-The labor cost per ton or
white paper is now $40 against $40
four years ago.
"Second-It takes one ton of coal
to make one ton of paper and coal at
the mill had practically doubled in
price.
sThird-The haul on pulp wood is
growing greater each year; likewise
the freight charges.
"Fourth-The six to nine cent mar
kets Of Europe, South America and
Australia are now asking for Canads
and United States paper"
Before the war the price of paper
was given little consideration by pub

In Business Section

A mule belonging to Montjoy & Co.,
was electrocuted yesterday evening
about $50 o'clock at the intersection
of Fulton and Market when it stepped
on the pipe which protects the wiring
and came into contact with a circuit,
The animal was instantly killed and
the negro, who was riding the mule
was badly frightened but "a not in
jured.
The pipe was covered with water
and the surmise is that when the
mules hoof struck the pipe, it came
in contact with a circuit. The animal
was valued at about three hundred
dollars.

FORMER MAYOR

HON. FRANK v. EVANS, OF B1R-

STRONG STATEMENT.

One of the latest additions to the
large and rapidly growing list of pro-
minent men who have publicly indor-
sed Tanlac for the good is has done
them, is the name of Hon. Frank V.
Evans, former Mayor of Birmingham.
Mr.. Evans is one of the best known
men in public life in Alabama today,
being at one time editor of one of the
South's greatest newspapers, the Bir-
%mingham Age-Herald. He was also
examiner of public accounts of Ala
bama. In telling of the benefits he
had derived from Tanlac, Mr.. Evans
said:
Fer years l suffered with gas
tritis and indigestion in the worst
form. | was habitually constipatec
and had pains in my shoulders anc
headache continually. My appetite
left me almost entirely and every
thing | would eat hurt me. Finally
got to having awful attacks of acute
indigestion, palpitation Of the heart
and smothering spells. For a long
time | would have one or more OF
these spells every night and l woulc
