COTTON FALLS OFF
IN MANY SECTIONS
South Carolina Reports Picking and
Ginning Practically Finished.
No Top Crop Expected.

Washington, Sept. 22.-With wee
vii still active and damaging in many
localities and dry weather prevail
ing, cotton, in general, showed no
improvement and further deteriora-
ton was reported in many sections
of the belt during the week just
closed, said the National Weather
and Crop Bulletin issued today.
Weevil were reported in North Caro-
lima as far north as Mecklenburg,
Cumberland and Jones counties.
Bolls were opening rapidly and
prematurely in much of the belt, es-
pecially in the, eastern sections, with
very little indication of top crop" }"
the bulletin said. Picking and gin
ming under favorable weather con-
ditions progressed rapidly South
Carolina reporting this work practi-
cany finished. A large portion of the
cop also has been gathered in Geor-
gia and Southern Alabama.
"Cotton was fair TO good" in
northern and western Oklahoma, but
"poor to failure" in the south and
central and southeastern sections Of
the State. It was generally very
poor in Texas, although above the
average in some sections" The crop
in Arkansas ranged from Every poor
to poor in the SOUTH" to "poor OF
fair" in the north.
Lack Of moisture unfavorably af-
fected late corn in the gulf and low
er Atlantic States, according to the
bulletin. Early corn, however, made
good progress, harvesting being
nearly completed.
Citrus fruits, the bulletin said,
"have dropped rather badly" in
Florida, "but the crop, on the whole,
continues in good condition" Sweet
potatoes and truck crops generally
were in need of rain in the south
eastern States.

WHY THE EDITOR LEFT TOWN

Somebody sent the editor of the
Pokertown Gazette a few bottles of
home brew. The same day he received
for publication a wedding announce
mcat and a notice of an auction sale.
Here are the results: "Wm. Smith
and Miss Lucy Anderson were dis
posed of at public auction at my farm
one mile east of a beautiful cluster
of roses on her breast and two white
calves, before background of imple-
ments too numerous to mention in the
presence of about seventy guests, in
GLIDING two milch cows, six mules and
one bob sled. Rev. Jackson tied the
nuptial knot with 200 feet of hay
rope and the bridal couple left on one
good John Deere gang plow for an
extended trip with terms to suit pur-
chasers. They will be at home to
their friends with one good baby
buggy and few kitchen utensils af.
ter ten months from date of sale to
Irresponsible parties and some fifty
chickens. ."-Exehange.

anxious to help US.
"We averaged from one day to six
weeks in town, and wherever we
stopped all four of us usually got
some work of one kind.or another.
It happened that in Portland, Ore,
only one of US was able to get work.
But this never troubled US. We pool
ed all our earnings. Everywhere we
found that the other employees well
coined us. We never put anyone out
Of work and no job was created for
US. 1t was a surprise to US to find so
many temporary positions open.
"Our stay in cities and towns was
regulated more by weather condi.
tions than money. For instance,
when we left Spokane we had to get
&hroagh to the Cascade Mountains.
In order not to be stuck by the ap-
preaching winter snow we all gave
up unusually fine positions and
moved on. 1 also gave up a good
position as secretary to David Starr
Jordan, chancellor of Leland Stan.

"In comparing the different Sec
tions of the country in which we
held positions we found that Cali
fornia was the easiest place to gel
along in. If it is not the most pros
porous section it is surely the easiest
i place to make a living. But a girl
can get along safely and happily
everywhere. All she needs is just the
ordinary amount of sense"
Win the party started they had
; $500 each, which they placed in a
common fund. They did not touch
their original capital until they
reached the Pacific. They. had more
money when they started East than
when they left for the West. How.
ever on the way home their balance
dwindled and when they arrived
here they had little less than $50

WATERMELoNs FOR PROFIT.

The Bulloch Times, seemingly half
apologetic for the inroads that water
melons have made on the cotton crop
in that county, nevertheless is forced
to make the admission that twelve
hundred carloads of melons have
been shipped from that county and
that the melon shipments have
brought in approximately 100000.
The melons brought as high as $400
a car, and brought it in at time
when nothing else was selling and
money was very tight. Moreover, did
not interfere with the cotton crop,
and something else can now be grown
on the land. The following is an ex-
tract from The Times article:
"It is conservative estimate that
twelve hundred carloads of melons
have been shipped out Of the county.
The prices, better than in former
years, have ranged as high as $400
per car and downward, the average
being not less than SITS. Take these
figures as a basis, and the income
from the melon crop will approximate
5000, 900. That doesn't even rival the
income from cotton, but it has been
a big stimulus to business at sea-
son, which otherwise would have been
dull. Money from the melon crop has
gone to pay debts and to pay for new
merchandise; it has gone into the
banks and into general circulation.
Even those sections of the country
where melons were not grown have
been helped by the crop"
Suppose it does not even rival the
income from cotton, it is a mighty
nice wad to add to the proceeds Of
the cotton crop, and the beauty about

VANDERBILT ATHLETE
DIES OF BROKEN NECK

Nashville, Tenn, Sept. 20.-Mr
Gilmer Greenlaw, of Columbia,
Tenn, captain of the Vanderbilt
1922 baseball team, died Sunday at
local hospital of a broken neck, sus,
tanned two weeks ago when he dived
from a launch upon Cumberland
river.
Physicians say he snapped the fifth
vertebra of his spinal cord in Jump,
ing from the boat and that his neck
was broken before ne struck the wa
ter. Since a few hours after the
accident he gradually gained strength
and the paralysis was gradually
leaving his body. His death came
suddenly.

it is that it is a clean transaction,
with no leftovers or slumping mar
kets to poster one. Nothing is said
about comparison of profits, but
we will wager something pretty that
ia comparison by acreage will show
that the watermelon crop is the
more profitable of the two. Bulloch
has done well with her watermelons; ;
she has made prodigous crop and
received good prices, an this is
enough to encourage the farmers in
diversified farming.-Augusta Herald

SIXTEENTH OF OCTOBER
Nine Games To Be Played to Decide

Prices Announced.

Chicago, Sept. 22.-The worlds Sc
ries will start October S, it was de-
cided today, the first game being
played on the home grounds of the
b; National League team.
In the event either Pittsburgh or
Cleveland should finish first two Sc
ries of games will be played in the
National League city, the next two
| in the American League town, and so
on. Both New York teams are at
present leading the leagues. The
details of the series were arranged
today at a meeting of the league
presidents with Judge Kenesaw Nd.
Lands, baseball commissioner.
President John Heydler, of the
National, won the toss and the first
game for his league.
Leslie O'Connor, secretary to
Judge Landis, tossed the coin mad
Ban johnson, president of the Am
erican League called "heads." 1t
fell "tails."
i: The commissioner and the league
presidents fixed the prices for the Sc
ries at from 81 to Sc.
If one or both New York teams
win the prices will be 81 in the
bleachers, SO for unreserved seats in
the upper grandstahd and SIS for
lower grandstand reservations and
l$6 in the boxes.
In the event Cleveland wins boxes
will be Sc; reservations 81 and SIS;
pavilion seats So and general ad-
mission 81.
Nine games may be played, it was
decided, the series going to the win

ed, and one of the teams outside of
New York is in the series, a coin will
be tossed to decide the city. If both
New York teams are in the series
they will move after the eighth
game to the other grounds.
The prices decided on show a con-
siderable reduction in the cheaper
seats. Bleacher seats in New York
formerly have sold at So as compar-
ed to 81 for this year, while at
Cleveland last year pavilion seats
brought SO instead of the 81 in to:
days scale; and general admission
was So instead of ST.

Havana, March 24--Chess enthusiasts
attending the world championship
match between DR.. Emanuel Iasker
and Jose r.. Capablanca were expecting
today that the fifth game of tho tourna-
ment. to be begun tonight. would be
marked by sensational play. This ex-
pectation had it's origin in the rapid
play In the fourth game last night.
which was drawn after the thirtieth
move.
The first three games OF the tourna-
ment were played very slowly. but DIR.
Lasker and his opponent last night
opened their contest Mt a rapid rate,
making 13 moves during the first half
hour of play. On his fourteenth move
DIR. Iasker adopted a variation OF his
game by advancing his queen rook
pawn one square and on the next move
this pawn was advanced another
square.
Capablanca seemed unprepared Tor
this development and studied the board
for n considerable time before making a
rejoinder He then boldly attacked on
the kings side of the board. trying to
break through, and after the seven
teenth move the position became very
intricate. When % moves had been
made it appeared that DIR. Lasker had
an excellent position and that 1t would
require Capa blanca's greatest skilt TO
find n good defense.
On the twenty-fourth move. however
the players exchanged queens ana II
was found that the contending armies
were on virtually even terms.
