CROP CONDITIONS
IN COTTON BELT
PROGRESS IN GEORGIA. TOO
WET IN SOME SECTIONS.
DROUTH IN OTHERS.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-With rain
falling only in few northern sections
of Texas and in northern and eastern
parts of Oklahoma the drought in the
western division Of the cotton belt was
intensified during the week ending
Yesterday, according to the weekly re-
view of weather and crop conditions
issued by the department of agricul-
ture.
Rainfall was mostly light in the
central and eastern portions OF the
belt" the statement continued, al
though it continued too wet in few
localities" Temperatures were gener-
ally somewhat above normal in the
central and eastern cotton states, but
were much above normal in Oklahoma
and Texas.
Cotton made very good progress
in North Carolina and showed inn
movement in some eastern localities
where it had been too wet While
there was too much rain in some east
central and southern portions of South
Carolina the weather was generally
favorable for growth in that state, but
the plants were rather sappy and rank,
though fruiting well. The crop made
very good progress in Georgia, except
in a few localities, where considerable
shedding was reported; conditions
have been unfavorable for top-crop
in the southern portion, although the
plants are fruiting well in the north
ern section.
"Cotton made poor to only fair prog
ress in Mississippi and Alabama, but
fairly good in Tennessee; rain was
needed in much of Alabama and Ten
nessee. Heavy local rains were unta-
vorable in some central and western
portions of Arkansas, but the warm
weather and generally light rainfall in
that state were favorable. There was
considerable rainfall in Louisiana
which favored weevil activity and con-
siderable shedding was reported from
the northwestern portion OF the state.
Under the influence of dry hot
weather cotton made generally poor
showing in Oklahoma, with deteriora-
ton in the extreme southwestern por-
ton of Oklahoma. These conditions
caused shedding although they were
favorable for holding the weevil in
check.
Cotton bolls were opening rapidly
in Texas and Georgia and picking
progressed well"

figure is about 600.000.000 less than the
authorized expenditures Tor the cur

SHORTAGE CHARGED
TO TAX COLLECTOR
ALICE WEBSTER OFFICIAL
is DUE SCHOOL FUND $500.
DENIES THE CHARGE.

PRESTON, Ga.-Alleging that he
has failed to properly account for So
500 Of school fund money collected by
him, the commissioners of Webster
county have Nssued an execution
against H. B. Reeves, county tax col
lector for that amount. The process
was placed in the hands OF Sheriff l..
NJ. Christian for service on Reeves.
The sheriff said he expected to levy
on certain property belonging to Mr..
Reeves Immediately, and that it was
anticipated a settlement OF the case
would be effected within few days.
The execution was issued by the
commissioners after they had consult
ed with ]. E. Sheppard, an Americas
attorney, who assisted i'll drafting the
paper put in Sheriff Christians hands.
According to information certain dis
crepancies were discovered in Reeves
accounts covering local tax school
funds, and it is charged that the tax
collector had since failed to account
for funds alleged to be due the county:
Reeves has been tax collector OF
Webster county for six years. He says
that he settled last with the county on
time there was difference in accounts
OF approximately $500, due to the fail
ure of collecting officers to accurately
the first Tuesday in June, at which
figure interest, etc. This was merely a
matter of bookkeeping that could be
easily Strengthened out, he said
There have been numerous partial
payments of taxes throughout the
county, according to Reeves, these
having been accepted because OF scar
city of money, and in accordance with
custom as well. Included in past due
and uncollected taxes, Reeves says, are
amounts due during both 1920 and
1921. which has caused some stringen-
CIV in the various county departments.
The school money alleged to be I'M
accounted for has all been properly
handled, the collector asserts, and II
the various trustees have been unable
to secure funds derived from special
school tax levies it is because these
have either not yet been collected or
are yet in the hands OF bail1tts and
other officers having Fl fas issued by
the tax collector and collected by them,
but not turned over to the collector.
The school authorities, it appears,
are this year demanding interest in
amounts due them from December 20,
1921, whereas in former years all in
terests received by the collector has
been RENTED to the state and county
authorities and this demand, it is al
legged, had much TO do with the issu-
ance of an execution against the col
lector by the county authorities.
The annual county audit, Reeves
said. is always completed not later
than September, and when this audit
discioses Just what amounts are due
the several funds he is prepared to
pay over the cash.

PULLMAN SURCHARGE
RESTORED IN GEORGIA
CARRIERS WIN IN THEIR AP-
PEAL FROM STATE RAIL
ROAD COMMISSION.

Pullman car surcharges, which were
suspended in Georgia last December
10Th by order of the Georgia railroad
commission, will be put back on Sep
TENDER 20 by order of the interstate
commerce commission.
A Washington dispatch has an
nounced that the federal commits
sion has sustained the contention
OF the railroads of Georgia. Their
contention was that the Georgia COM
MISSIONS order suSpending the pull
man surcharge was discrimination
against interstate commerce.
The pullman surcharge IS 81 per
cent of the pullman fare. The Pull
man company gets the pullman fare,
but the railroads get the surcharge.
The Pullman company in several cases
before the interstate commerce COM
mission has strenuously objected to
the surcharge on the ground that 1t
compensates the railroads for a SER
vice performed by the Pullman COM
pany, and that it has seriously cut
down the Pullman company's revenue.
The Georgia commission last De-
cember issued an order abolishing the
pullman surcharge within this state.
The railroads objected to it and APP
pealed to the interstate commerce
commission to set it aside on the
ground that the order was a discrimi-
nation against interstate commerce.
The federal commission sent an exam
iner to Atlanta to hear the case. The
Georgia commission presented a brief
in opposition to the contention OF the
railroads.
There is nothing for the Georgia
commission to do but bow to the will
OF the federal commission, stated
Chairman Gambler on receiving news
of the order.
The result of the order OF the Geor-
ola railroad commission has been the
saving of more than 100000 to the
travelling public of the state, as the
surcharge was suspended for nine
months. There is no way for the rail
roads to make the present order retro
active, either, as they have no means
of going back on their passengers.
The theory upon which the inter-
state commerce commission fixes the
surcharge is that it costs the railroads
more to provide accommodations in
pullman and parlor cars, since those
cars are heavier to haul and provide
seating accommodations for only about
half as many people as do the day
coaches.
