ONE NEGRO DEAD,
ANOTHER HURT IN
STRANGE MISHAPS

Saturday night witnessed two unex-
planned accidents to negroes, one of
them resulting fatally. The dead
negro is Sim Dean, who resided on
the plantation of John Council, who
was found fatally injured in the
road in the Wheatley bottom early
Sunday morning by his companion,
VIII Patterson, who had gone to sleep
in a drunken stupor at the side of
the road. The other injured negro
was Gcne Dixon, who is employed by
Otis Phygioc, tailor, and who was
found unconscious from a blow on the
head on Scarborough hill early Sun
day. He has recovered sufficiently
to be up.
The Dean and Patterson negroes
started from Americus Sunday, both
drunk from moonshine liquor, Pat
terson said. They stopped to rest in
the Wheatley bottom. As he dozed
off, he said, he saw Dean sitting IN
the middle of the pavement. When
he awoke some time afterward, Dean
was lying on the pavement uncons-
cious with a 3-inch cash and frac-
ture in the back of his head. He died
at his home Monday morning. Dr.
j. T. Stukes who attended him said
the body showed no other signs of
violence and no bruises indicating
that he possibly fell and struck the
back of his head on the pavement,
or was knocked over by a car, al
though no wheel had run over him,

CROPS BETTER
over GEORGIA
Improvement In Cotton, How
ever, Is Offset By Increased
Weevil Activity, Report Says

Improvement in the cotton plant,
offset by increased weevil activity,
over Georgia from July l to Is is
reported in the mid-monthly crop
summary just issued from Atlanta
by Z. R. Petit, agricultural statis-
tician for this region of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The report follows:
Conditions favored plant growth
during the last fortnight. Much
needed moisture became available
for the corn crop which was suf-
fering in much of the region. The
situation is somewhat spotted. More
rain than was needed fell in many
| localities, while some are still in
need of showers.
"CORN-The corn is improving
materially but is still below the av-
erage. Yields promise to run from
twelve to eighteen bushels except
Tennessee which is much higher.
"COTTON-Marlled progress has
ben made in the growth of the
plant. 1t is fruiting well, and its
appearance is much better than two
week ago. Bolls are forming in the
South. The first open bOlls are re-
ported. Weevils continue prevalent,
attacking the squares as they form.
Farmers are waging strenuous bat
tie using treble the amount of cal
cium arsenate used last season. The
supply Of arsenate is very made
uuate. The weevil is now the de-
termining factor, and the situation
is critical.
Shade tobacco is
in, and the quality and yields are
better than last year. Bright TO-
bacco is being harvested under fair
ly favorable conditions in Georgia.
Condition below usual.
Improvement is noted in
hay crops, grasses and pastures.
Cowpeas are flourishing, but there Is
much complaint of the Mexican
bean beetle.
"RICE - Making good growth
with favorable weather.
"FRUIT - Florida and South

Rains have improved outlook. Canta-
loupe season about over in man
