Weeks Rains SaUe Crops In Many
Sections Of State; Cotton Improves
Sweet Potatoes Are Hurt by
Drought and Early Corn
Feels Bad Effects
Tobacco Curing Continues and
Fair Crop Is Expected;
Need More Rain

ATLANTA, June "a. - Although
beneficial showers fell at many places
In Georgia at the beginning and close
OF the week, they were very irregu-
larly distributed. and severe drought
still prevails over most of the State,
intensified by high temperatures ex-
ceeding 100 degrees were reported
at stations in all three districts.
Where showers fell, even though the
amount of precipitation was inade-
quate, considerable Improvement in
crops took place. but elsewhere prog
ress has been very slow, and deteri-
grafton, even of staple crops, is evil
dent. Cotton, which is withstanding
the drought well, made some slight
Improvement during the week, but
the plants are still small, and growth
has been very slow. The number of
reports of damage by boil weevi are
numerous. Early corn has suffered
considerably for lack of sufficient
moisture; lowland crops are fair to
good; laying by corn is under way.
In most places stuble lands have
been to dry to plow, though some
peas have been planted. Sweet po-
tato slips in beds suffered badly from
drought, and the ground is so dry
that transplanting can hardly be fin
ished; the crop is early, but is now
slow growth Peanuts, sugar
cane, and rice would be much bene-
hted by rain. Pastures and gardens
are poor. Curing tobacco continues,
with fair crop. Peaches and mel
ons have been somewhat injured by
dry weather, but are apparently of
good quality; large shipments con-
tinue. General rains are much need
ed for all crops.

Ing rapidly in the hands of members
of the congregation who are volun-
teering their services in putting I'D

The building is arranged to seat
about four hundred people in the
main room and a hundred more in
the Sunday school room which is
separated by movable partition.
Temporarily the building will be
frame only but in the course of the
year it will be veneered with brick.
The architectural style will be very
attractive with turreted steeple and
gothic roof. The building was
planned by Rev. CHM and is nicely
arranged for ventilation and is built
so that additions and annexes can be
made to fit into a general plan for a
larger church. 1t is the third churcn
Rev. CHM has planned.
The congregation of the First
Ward Baptist church IS now abour
sixty with 120 in Sunday school. The
church has been growing rapidly Tor
several years under Rev. Ginn,s
guidance. The boarG OF deacons is
J. D. c. Ivey, who is also supern-
tendent of the Sunday School, S. G.
Goodner J. B. Cliff and W. "A.
Turner.
The old church has become entire
ly too small for the congregation
and is to be either sold or rebuilt
into a pastorium The church is on
the corner of Gordon and Altamaha
streets. 1t is surrounded by lofty
sycamore trees and makes a very at
tractive sight.

JOHN S. JOHNSTON
DIES OF APOPLEXY
Popular Railroad Man Drops
Dead at Strikers Meeting
HAD BEEN SPEAKING
Think Strain of Strike and Ar
gunent Caused Stroke

Mr.. John S. Johnston dropped dead
with stroke of apoplexy about II
O'Clock this morning. Mr. Johnston
who was formerly conductor on
the Atlanta, Birmingham and Allan
tic railroad and went on strike March
5th, was attending the regular morn
ing meeting of the strikers and had
made several short talks to the strik-
ers. The nervous strain of the strike
and the exertion of speaking to the
crowd at the meeting is believed to
have been the immediate cause of the
stroke. Mr.. Johnston had been i'll
a few weeks ago. and had not recov-
cred his strength fully.
The fatal stroke came while Mr..
Johnston was talking to Mr.. Bill
Bryan. He complained of being hot
and asked Mr.. Bryan to fan him and
asked another man to bring him some
water. Before the water could be
brought he told Mr.. Bryan that he
was sick and started to leave the
hall on Mr.. Bryan's arm. On the
way out he said well friend its got
me, and lost consciousness. He was
Carried to a table in the ante room
of the hall 'and DR.. D. B. Ware and
DIR. E. A. Russell summoned and his
family sent for.
The physicians found the stricken
man beyond all help when they ar
rived. Mrs. Johnston was prostrat-
ed when she realized that her hus-
band was dead. 1t was heart rem
ding scene when the wife of the
stricken man reached his side and
tried in frantic tenderness to restore
the unconscious and dying man to
life.
Mr.. Johnston was removed to his
home on West Magnolia street. Fun
eral arrangements were not complet-
a io this afternoon but he was
: son and it is probable that the
Masons will have charge of the fun
eral.
Mr.. Johnston had been in the SER
vice of the A., B. & A. railway about
fifteen years previous to March 5th
when he went on strike. He was
yardmaster at Brunswick for some
time and lived in Atlanta a short
while after being made a conductor.
He has lived in Fitzgerald for about
twelve years and is we'll known and
liked by large circle of friends and
acquaintance throughout the city.
Surviving the deceased are his
widow and three sons, John S. John
ston Jr., nineteen years old, Hunter
Johnston, seventeen, and Edgar John
ston, nine years old. The oldest boy
is graduate of Fitzgerald High
School where he was leader in all
school activities. Hunter will grad
uate next year.
The sympathy of the entire CITY
goes out to the family of the deceased
in their bereavement.
