Cold Wave
Does Damage
Atlanta, Ga., April 25.-With mil
Uons of acres of young cottonf de
stroyed by the cold weather which
today overspread the entire cotton
belt with the unusual April accom
paniment in many sections of snow
and sleet, the south has suffered its
most disastrous financial set-back
perhap since the civil war. Be
sides cotton, young vegetables of
every description suffered from the
freezing temperatures and fruit was
more or less damaged in every
southern state except Florida.
Reports received tonight indicate
that the cold snap has not abated in
Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee,
northern Alabama, Louisiana, Miss
issippi and even further west and
for much of this territory a heavy
frost and freezing temperatures are
predicted for Tuesday morning. In
Atlanta and throughout the north
ern half of Georgia, except near the
Atlantic the thermometer has
been below forty degrees above
