WEST CHURCH
PAVING BEGUN
East Church Project Completed,
Next Job Is Tackled By
Paving Force

The city paving on East Church
street was completed Friday at noon,
and tools and equipment moved Mon
day to West Church street where the
completion of that project will be
pushed by City Engineer Chas.
Wheatley. The grading work on
West Church has already been nearly
completed, and everything is in read
mess for rapid progress in getting
the concrete laid.
1t has been the desire of the West
Church street citizens to have this
work hastened so that the heavy dust
experienced each fall with the haul
ing of large quantities of cotton
through that street to the gins might
be avoided this year.

Cent Over 1921

WASHINGTON, July 3.-This
years cotton crop will be about H.

June 25 and an estimated acreage Of
34,S52, 900.
New York cotton jumped about
$3.50 per bale within ten minutes af-
ter the publication of the first gov
ernment forecast figures.
No less than 16 private authorities
issued their end-June condition fig
ures in advance of the governments.
The reports disclosed a wide differ
ence as regards the condition, yield
and acreage. All the statements
dwelt upon the boil weevil situation
ard one ASSERTED that the infestation
was unprecedented at 80 per cent
against II per cent last year and AS
per cent the year before.
Private condition figures r2rged
from 69.7 to rs per cent, with the
average slightly above 72 per cent.

increases over last years of from s
to 10 per cent and the indicated
yield placed at from 1O,400,000 to
11,874,O00 bales.

bales and the preliminary acreage
last year was given as 26,519,000

acreage the previous year of 37,043,-
600 acres. However, the acreage fig
ures were revised to 31,472,000 in
December last, and another revision
on June placed the acreage planted
last year at 81 ,678,00O, against 30,-
500, 900 picked.
One May 25, 1922, the government
placed the condition at 69.6. The ten
year average on June 25 is 76.9 per
cent.

12O Racing Pigeons Start
6O0-Mile Trip at Oglethorpe
Washington, D. c. Club Releases
Birds Sunday Morning For
Flight

One hundred and twenty homing
pigeons, all winners of previous races
and all owned at Washington, D. c.,
were released at Oglethorpe Sunday
morning at 4;29 o'clock for flight
back to Washington, distance Of
600 miles. They were expected TO
reach the national capital some time
Sunday evening.
julius Shy, Of Americus, a homing
pigeon fancier, went to Oglethorpe
to witness the event. The birds, own
ed by members of the Racing Pigeon
club in Washington, were shipped to
Oglethorpe in long coops, which were
lined up side by side so that there
would be no advantage in the start
for any bird. When the word 'ready"
was given, which was understood by
the birds, they all stood at attention
like runners set on the mark await
ing the firing of the starting pistol.
When the doors Of the coops were
opened simultaneously they fluttered
into the air as one and as they were
off there was visible struggle among
the 12O for leadership as keen as
with thoroughbreds getting off at a
race track. 1t was wonderful sight,
Mr. Shy reports.
In the coops were several eggs and
five of these were given to Mr.. Shy
by ]. A. Bush, Oglethorpe express
agent. Mr.. Shy expressed a determi-
nation of setting these eggs under
the two female homers which he
owns here.

GREATEST RUSH IN HISTORY
OF LOCAL POST OFFICE

Never in the history of the local
p~ostoffice, according to Postmaster
Richard White today, has the mail
been so heavy as it is this Christmas
week. Since last Friday more than
5000 packages have been received
daily for shipment. Two clerks are
kept busy waiting on customers and
long lines of people are kept waiting
at the window almost continuously.
So heavy is the mail that it has
been decided to keep the postofice
open on Sunday for the sale of
stamps and the receiving Of parce!
post mail. As far as can be learned
this is the first time the local Office
has been open on Sunday. The
hours during which the Office will
be open On Sunday are from s until
10 O'Clock in the morning and from
3 to 5 o'clock in the afternoon,
There will be a delivery of mail on
Sunday, including both first class
and parcel post matter. In order
to speed the shipment and delivery
of the Christmas mail as much as
possible all clerks and carriers are
working overtime and some addi-
tional help has been employed.
Five motor trucks are now en-
ployed to speed the delivery of par
eel post matter. Two of these
trucks belong to the office, while two
trucks have been sent up
from Camp Vail for the use of Post
master White during the Christmas
rush. Yesterday these four trucks
were unable to make all the deliv-
cries and Mr.. White placed the truck
of Patrick White & Sons in service,
in order to deliver the mail in the
outlying sections OF the city.

Ben did not need particularly keen

on. "If something should happen
