FRIDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1922 j ^
MR. VERCHOT TALKS !f
Manager J. A. Verchot, of the E
Opera House, has returned from a ^
visit to his old home in Alabama. a
Mr. Verchot found things prosperous &
in the old home town. He says that n
when he left Alabama six years ago t]
the boll weevil had just made its! J*<
appearance there as it has now done J ti
here, and that the people were pan
ic stricken, believing tftey were con-1 e
signed to poverty for the rest of p
their natural lives. Being interested cl
in what has since happened, and on f?
account of conditions here, Mr. Ver- r<
chot made it his business to inquire si
into farming conditions there now.
He tells us that the people there to- ra
day are comparatively free from the es
boll weevil menace. One large farn\- n<
er to whom he talked said that he th
^<w*^ayd not had a boll weevil on his ti
, farm the present year so far as he gi
knew. ' sn
Manager Verchot says that this is vi
a very different condition from pi
what existed at the time he left Alabama.
He recalls that he talked to Ir
a farmer who had made thirty-five G
bales the year before, and who made. to
only three bales the year of his de- j rj
parture from that state, the differ- of
ence being caused by the weevil. si
Mr. Verchot believes that the Ji
damage done by the weevil in this ai
county, from now on, will yearly be
less and that in five years we will
have recovered in large measure
\ - from the losses we are now experiencing
as a result of the appear-jj]
ance of the weevil here three years ^
ago.
That indeed has been somewhat us
the history of the weevil's career in se
o?her sections. The amount of dam- R
ages which he causes usually is
greater about the third year than S<
any other time. Nature begins then:Si
to fortify itself against its plague'm
SO to speak. The damages done byjtc
tha-insect may be compared to the di
results of the appearance of "flu" in^m
our midst. At the height of its malignity
people died everywhere from st
its ravages. The next year it was of ci
ft milder type ,and now the disease '?<
is not worse than a'bad cold, except jsl
in cases here and there. The same is j si
true of other diee&ses and pests in w
the animal kingdom, and by analogy .e^
we may expect the same history with m
regard to the damage done by the!
weevil. < js
This is not intended of course to hi
cause people to be off their guard, h<
nor to keep them from taking every |\\
' ' possible precaution to lessen the ir
damage done by the weevil. People i-w
should be plowing up the cotton ;ci
stalks, burning off terraces and ditch- j
es, and preparing to do intensive far- is
miner next vear and to poison the' ir
weevil just as they have been advis-1 a
ed. But we should take comfort to ip
ourselves in the thought that nature p
is itself goin& to aid-us in the h
. fight. But nature is not going to ^ c
help the man much who does not;
try to help himself. fc

THE STAR CAR
fill Be Shown in Augusta For The
First Time.
If anyone stated a year ago that
n automobile could be constructed
rith the latent and most approved
;andard units throughout, and sucessfully
produced to sell at the remarkably
low price of $348.00.
veryone would have declared it
npossible.
But at last this dream of years has
ecome an actuality this unprecedntod
feat realized. The new Star
)ar is in every way an attractive
nd modernly designed motor car,
i every detail if its construction is
n exact counterpart of the larger,
ar more expensive automobiles.
'It is the latest product of W. "C.
>urant, the man whose genius and
ision created such names as Durnt,
Cadillac and Buick. he has per
ormed one of the greatest and
lost for reaching achievements of
lie present age, and it is certain to
jvolutionize low cost transportaon
throughout the world.
The Star Car must not for a mom
*1
nt bg compared with any other low
riced cars. It is distinctly in a
ass by itself, with all the improved
;atures of body design and chassis
instruction, further the motor is!
nooth, and quiet running.
Never in all the history of auto-j
lotive manufacture was such iriterst
shown in tho introduction of a j
ew automobile as has been given
,e Star Car. It has been predicted
lat the Star Car will become thej
reatest access ever attained in the
aall car field, for it is the greatest
ilue ever offered to the small car
archaser.
The Henry Weathers Motors Co,.
ic. 815 - 819 Ellis street, Augusta

for the Star Car in this territoj.
They state that a complete line
