Eating tho boll weevils during tho winter and early spring months ls doing more to keep down the pest than eating them in tho summor time, for every adult woovll eaten now prevents thc breor.lng of that many moro later. A long list of birds is given in a recex t government statement, many of wh'ch birds aro found locally. Tho yellow-hammer, wood-pecker and other insect-eating birds lu Anderson county all eat tho weevils.

Columbia con cerning tho recent attempted rob bery at Trenton says: Disclosure of a lengthy list of bank robberies perpetrated In Georgia and South Carolina by J. C. Moore, who, was slain ai Trenton at an early hour in the morning recontly, was made by ' Mrs. Moore here. Her husband I wes surprlsod and slain whtta rob ? bing a bank in Trenton, being shot by Constable E. M. Crouch. Mrs. Moore Identified the body as that of her husband and established the fact .that he was the escaped "Johnnie Kolan," who was sent up for twenty years, from Fulton county, Georgia, in 1920 for robbing the College Park Bank. "We made our headquarters In Atlanta and Augusta," .Mrs. Mooro said. "My husband kept nothing from me-ho would tell mc of every job he was planning. Ho had prom ised to quit afte.- Ibis year. "I really was ibo cause of his ho ing aresled and serving time in Georgia," she continued. ' Ono morn ing when wo wno In Columbus, Ga., bo came into my room aud laid $38, 000 lu bonds on my bed. 1 took some of the bonds lo Atlanta with which to buy some clothes. I was afraid to try to cash the il,OOO bonds, so 1 tried my hand on one of the $500. lt sold readily. Success Proved Undoing. "I was all puffed up over my suc coss. You see, 1 was young and ig norant. Then I" tried to cash more bonds, but those bonds had boen reg istered. Word had reached tho of fices to bold me in conversation if 1 came back to cash more bonds. So tho clerk talked to me-tried to flirt -and when I came down in tho ele vator it seemed like the whole de tective force of Atlanta was after I me. I 'squealed' then. There didn't seem to be anything else to do. So ? my husband was sent to the Georgia penitentiary on a 2 0-year sentence. He served two years of it. You soe they kept changing him from coll to coll so rapidly that he could not got out. -'*But he left the prison after two years and came to me in Augusta. "My husband did not upbraid me for 'squealing* on him. He said that there was nothing else I could do, I being a woman. I urged him to leave town, told him the ofllcers would surely be after him, and told him I1 woidfy let him know how things wore.' But I intended to bo some where else when he returned to Au gusta for me." Without any moro emotion than a woman would display in showing how a dress was made, Mrs. Mooro told of her husband's movements, of an accident that happened to the car she and he were riding in while in Columbia, of bis having to go io bed for treatment while recovering from injuries, and of the low state of their finances when he recovered. "He blew tho Blythewood Hank and got $1,165 from there," she said. "At Roberta, Ga., he lost his car md had to leave in a hurry. ?From Au gusta he did tho Blythewood rob bery, and then wo moved to Colum bia. "I had gotten him to promise that he would quit after this season. You see, safe-blowers do not work in the summer. Tho winter is their seas m.

What happened at Trenton is well k no wu. "He always had confidence in nie and kept nothing from mo." When asked wan*, disposal was mndo of tho bonds and stamps, Mrs. Moore said: "New cards would be gotten for tho War Savings Stamps, and thoy would bd put on these new cards. If the bond3 wera registered they would be destroyed; if not reg istered, they would be disposed of with considerable ease.
