the popular seaport town are plan

COlored soldiers who fought in the
great war. A meeting was held re-
Gently in the offices of Mayor Mac

aired their views. The subject of
segregation and race discrimination
was mentioned by some Of the speak
ers and some Of them expressed the
hope that nothing would be done
which would be done which would
set the Colored man apart from his
fellows because the progressive Ne

CATION or anything which smacked
of it. The beachfront hotel men have
offered to give $4,000 toward the

GEORGIA MAN WITH ONE MULE
PRODUCE COTTON WORTH
$4,000.

Griffin, Ga, Jan. 15.-The value of
Spalding county's cotton products
this year will run close to $6,000,O0O,
exceeding any previous year by
more than S1,500,000 in the estima-
ton of the Griffin and Spalding
board of trade. Approximately $4,75O,
90 has been received for the 21,500
bales already marketed. The crop
will total nearly $4,000 bales, or
about 5000 bales less than the larg-
est crop the county has ever raised,
Forty thousand acres were pleanted
to cotton in Spalding this year,
against $4,000 in 1918. Although
worked under boil weevil conditions
by a limited supply of labor, the
land averaged 265 pounds of lint cot
ton per acre, which is the highest
average ever recorded here.
One Colored FARMER has already
ginned q bales from land cultivated
by himself and family and one mule
His receipts from the sale of the
cotton and seed were $4,000. Another
worked two mules and raised So
bales which sold with the seed for
$40, 400.
While diversification and acreage
reduction will again be advocated by
the agricultural division of the board
of trade next year. it is not the in
tention of the organization that the
yield per acre be reduced. Already
| the farmers are blowing the lane
which they intend planting early ant
using the proper chemicals in fer.
tilization, it is believed the yielt
per acre can be again increased il
spite of the boil weevil.
