Northeastern Georgia Planters Cling to Cotton Economy
Special correspondence from Washington, Ga on May 14 describes how planters in the sandy hills of northeastern Georgia mortgage every acre to grow cotton.

Some small farms prosper by independent farming, while many tenants toil for two bales per mule or cash rents.
