WEATHER BUREAU REPORT
FOR WEEK ENDING July Il

ATLANTA, July 15,-Althoueh the
weather during the past week was
generally favorable and crops con-
tlnued to make satisfactory progress
conditions are becoming very diver
s1hed, as is always the case during the
mldseason. The rainfall for the week
was very irregularly distributed; in
the counties near the Atlantic coast
and IN many northern counties there
has been too much rain, with some
damaging local heavy showers, and
more sunshine would be beneficial in
the southwest, but on the other hand
there are many sections in central and
western Georgia in which drought
prevails with considerable damage, es-
pecially to corn and gardens. Corn is
doing fairly we'll, and is generally laid
by. Army worms have appeared in
many places in great numbers and
are doing much damage. Peanuts,
rice, sugar cane, velvet beans, field
peas, and sorghum are making sat
istactory progress. Tobacco is cur
ing well. An extra large crop of
sweet potatoes was planted, and the
crop seems to be doing especially
well; planting is practically finished.
The fruit crop is rather poor; Elber-
tas seem to be ripening late and are
suffering from brown rot. A large
crop of blackberries was gathered.
Cotton as awhole continued to make
satisfactory progress, and though
small is fruiting we'll Weevil damage
is considerable, but farmers are fight

Greenville, June 18.-The first
kitchen distillery which has yet come

seized this afternoon when a police
seargent and federal officer raided

near the heart of the city and near a
high class residential section. A two
gallon stove pot, on which was an in
verted gallon bucket, few feet of
pipe, part of which was probably bor-
rowed from gas heater, was coiled
up to make a condenser, was the
simple makeup of the still. Officers
say the still had capacity of three or
four gallons day. When the city po-
lice get through with Tom the federal
authorities will be waiting for hm.

PERSHING LAUDS
LEE AND JACKSON
Places a Wreath on Tomb of Confede-
rate Commander

Lexington, Va, June 18.-While vet
erans of the civil and and world war,
stood at attention, Gen. Pershing to-
day laid wreath on the tomb here of
Gen. Robert E. Lee. After a brief
address, during which he referred to
the Confederate commander as one of
the worlds greatest generals, Gen.
Pershing visited the nearby grave of
Gen, Stonewall Jackson.
introduced by DR.. Henry Louis
Smith president of Washington and
Lee University, Gen. Pershing spoke
of Gen, Lee as "Christian gentle
man" whose charcter and life in war
and peace Americans should emulate
In eulogizing Gen. Jackson, Gen
Pershing declared that the world
looks on him and his accomplishments
with admiration and awe. The mill
tary tactics of Gen Stonewall Jack
son are studied throughout the world.
Gen Pershing added.
The ceremonies at the cemetery
were conducted under the auspices of
the Lexington Post of the American
Legion. While in Lexington Gen.
Pershing was the guest of Virginia

PURPLE DYE FROM SHELLFIsH
Possibility That New Industry May Be
Developed, Since the Supply Is
InexhaustibIe.

On the Pacific coast Of Costa Rica.
especially in the region about Cocos
bay. there abOunds a kind Of shellfish
called the "nacascol," from which a
hne purple color is obtained. So far
no way has been found for preserving
this dye, and the industry has remain
ed In the hands Of the few old people
who take the trouble to dye a few
ounces Of thread every summer. The
process is very simple. On picking up
the shell from the beach or detaching
It from a bowlder. the gatherer blows
her breath into 1t, whereupon q few
drops OF greenish liquor ooze out.
This liquor is collected In a clamshell
and after a sufficient quantity has
been. collected the thread Is passed
through It, soon after assuming, on ex-
posure to the sunlight, a beautiful
purple color, which is absolutely fast
after 1t has turned purple. It is
thought possible that the dye turns
fast only on exposure to. the air and
that the liquor could be preserved by
keeping the air from 1t. There is
little doubt that this industry Of dye
ing thread could be extended to
greater proportions If an extensive de-
mand at good prices could be found
for ths dyestuff.

CONFEDERATE VETS
MEET IN HOUSTON

Confederate veterans in Columbia
are interested in the announcement re-
ceived from the commander of the
confederate veterans of the South
General X. M. Van Zandt, to the effect
that-the next Southern reunion will
be held in Houston Tex. The reunion
comes in October.
General Van Zandt has issued Gen
eral Orders No. 2 regarding the re-
union, as follows:
The general commanding takes
pleasure in announcing that the invi-
tation from the city of Houston, Tex,
to hold our reunion of 1920 in that hos
pitable city, has been accepted; and
that the thirtieth annual reunion and
convention Of the United Confederate
Veterans will be held there October
9th to 10th, 1920.
"It is fitting tribute to the brave
Confederate soldiers of the Trans
Mississippi department that the pat
riotic city of Houston should be the
first to invite us this year.
"Proper application for the usual
reduced railroad fare will be made and
together will other reunion matters
will be announced in later General
Orders.
"The general commanding thankful
to God for the preservation of so
many Confederate soldiers to their
present advanced age, extends great
ings to his comrades and hopes that
many of them will meet with him at
Houston, to fraternize with each other
and to continue the patriotic work of
our confederation.

Trunk Lines n tho Air.

Long distance air transportation will
soon be commonplace. The success
ful trip from London to Australia re.
Gently completed has encouraged Great
Britain to lay out number Of great
air routes, connecting England by
great trunk lines with it's possessions.
The service will be maintained at first
by airships and later doubtless by air
planes. The first Of these trunk lines
will connect London with Canada by
way Of Newfoundland. Another line
will operate between London and
Egypt and will be extended to South
Africa. The air lines will be backed
by large government subsidies.-Boys'
