THE BOLL WEEVIL
IN ABOUT FOUR YEARS IT WILL
REACH THIS STATE.
.. i
Oar Farmers Should lkigin to Prepare
to Fight and Throttle This
Great Pest.
The Augusta Herald says the boll
weevil Is a tangible evil, a terrible
pest. The farmers of Texas have
realised this years ago. The farmers
of Louisiana have learned it.
since, and ithe farmers of' Mississippi
are learning it now Thin I
insect doesn't destroy all the cotton,
but wherever it makes its appeal ance
its ravages so groatly reduco
the yield that cotton growing becomes
unprofitable.
Ever since Its first appearance
in Texas a fight has been made on
it. Individual farmers have done all
they could <to check its spread. The
state governments qf. the states affected
aided in the work, and the
federal government wen-J. to the limit
of its resources aiding'in the flgh4.
but all to no avail. No method has
been discovered to exterminate these
weevils where they have once appeared,
nor even to check their advance.
This has been steady. From the
district* first Infested the boll weevil
has moved eastward and northward
steadily and almost regularly, so
that It now only.appears now that
the entire cotton belt" will be affected.
but almost the time may be set
for Its apearance in any county, or
when there shall be no uninfested
district left. * . '
Ab yet there are no bool weevils
in Georgia, but unless a method is
found for fighting the pest* more sue
cessful than any so far discovered,
the time is near when Georgia also
will be the loser by its ravages. In
anticipation of this coming calar.i- :
ity a great convention is to bo held !
in the near future in Atlanta,
which the situation will be fully discuseed
and the best protective courte
mapped out.
On this same line the Southern
railway, so greatly Interested Indirectly
in the success of cotton growing,
has issued a circular giving ad
vice as to the best courso to pursue
after the boll weevil shall have made
its annMranro Thin
1. The destruction of the weevllB
in the fall by burning all rubbish
and material in aTtti about the field
which might servo for' hiberna"ng
quarters of the weevils.
2. Ttreaking (plowing) the soil as
deep as conditions will allow.
2. The shallow winter cultivation
of the soil if no cover crop is used.
4. Delaying the planting till the
noil and temperature aro warm
enough to make .It.safe.
5. The planting of early-matur
ing varieties of cot/ton.
6. The use of fertilizers.
7. Leaving more space between
the rows, and on ordinary uplands
having a greater distance between
plants in the row than is usually allowed.
8. The use of the section harrow
before and after glinting and on
the young cotton.
9. Intensive shallow cultivation.
10. Agitation of the stalks by
means of brush attached to the cul
tlvator.
11. Picking up and burning the
squares that fall under the weevil
conditions. especially during the
first thirty or forty days of infestation.
12. Controlling the growth ol
the plant if excessive by deep and
close cultivation.
13. Selecting the seed.
14. T)he rotation of crops and
the use of legumes.
As soon as cotton can be gathered,
if the stalks are still green an 1
growing, kill all unhatched weevi.s
in squares and immature boils, and
at the same time deprive the adult
weevils of food and breeding
grounds by Immediately cutting and
burning all the cotton stalks.
The earlier this can be done the
better. Where a sufficient number
of eatltle can be turned into the field
to eat It clean in a few days <thls
may be done, instead of cutting and
burning the stalks.
In heavy soils, where the winter
rainfall is heavy, It may answer ?o
cut the stalks and plow them under,
but care must be taken to have the
stalks completely covered and turned
as deeply as possible.
Thin section Is still remote from
the Infested disttiet.'and it is to he
hoped that some method will be
discovered for exterminating this
peat, before It shall reach here.
Killed Herself.
At Chicago, while her fiance, David
Nathan, was in the county building
gett'ng a marriage license for
the wedding that was to have taken
place Tuesday, Miss Annie Neyberg,
the bride to-be, committed suicide,
following a quarrel with her prospective
mother-in-law, who on learning
of the wedding plans objected.
('ruslied to Death.
At Cleveland, Ohio, the wife of
Simon Frutkin, a tailor, his two
small children and a customer were
crushed to doaih by the collapse or
a new concrete building. An explosion
of unknown origin is believed
to have caused the disaster.
WOKKED THE HOODOO GAME.
Old Negro Woman Film Flammed
0
Out of Her Money.
Ann Thompson, an old colored wo- |
man, who lives a few miles fro?j j
this city over In the Fork, claimB to
have been film flammed out of * 75,
which she had laid aside to r iy a
debt, by a slick rascal of he own !
color, whom she entertain d one'
night, and who claims to > j a hoo- '
doo doctor, with powers t , make all ;
things come to pass. .tin believed j
in him at first, b>'' ^ne doesn't any |
more. I
o inat the slick rascal came
along about last Thursday and j
knocked at the hospitable door of
Ann Thompson, who occupied a
cosy cabin with her husband, whom
she had married only a few weeks
before. The stranger was taken In,
and somehow he fouud out that Ann
had $75 saved up with which she
was to pay a debt she owed a white
gentleman of the neighborhood for
supplies or rent, or both.
He then let out by accident that
he wns a hoodoo doctor, and If Ann
would commit to his care a few minutes
her $75 she would find when
she went to pay her debt that her
$75 had increased to $100, which
would leave her $25 after her debt
was paid. She gave him the $75,
which, after many incantations and
hoodoo mumblings, he pretended to
wrap up in a bag, and told Ann to
let it remain unopened for a day
or -two. Ann agreed to do this and
all went happy to bed.
Next morning when Ann and her
husband went out they found that
their guest had departed during the
night, and, ns the sequel proved had
carried the $75 with him. As soon
as the stranger was missed, they
took down the box in which he had
claimed to have put Ann's $75, and
all they found was some old tobacco
tago and pieces of bright tin.
No trace of the film flam artist could
bo found. Ho had gone with Ann's
$75, .and she is now somewhat poorer,
but wiser about hoodoo doctors.

AUGUSTA TAKKS CENSUS.
Which Shows u Gain |Over United
States Census Iteport.
The population of the city of Augusta
-s 41,2!)5, according to the
count taken Sunday by 300 volunteer
enumerators, composed of all
classes of people, including many of
the most wealthy and prominent |
1 business men. This compares
1 against the official count of 37,826
1 sent out by the census bureau last
1 week, and 39,4 41 as the official ceni
sus 10 years ago. The city's count
shows that the federal enumerators
missed 3.460 people in the city, and,
in substantiation of this a member
of council, acting as a volunteer enumerator,
reports an entire district,
in the ward wherein he was working,
which had never been visited
by the federal enumerators. Every
ward in the city shows an increase
over the federal report.

The Trunk of a Hlack Hand Filled
~
?? mi nX|HU!tlVC8.
Explosives enough to blow the
city hall into fragments were found
in a trunk in the police clerk's office
at Cincinnati Wednesday afternoon.
I The trunk has been kicked from corner
to corner for the last two months
with no regard to delicate handling.
The trunk was found by local detectives
last September while searching
the room for several men who were
suspected of being members of the
, black hand. Wednesday afternoon,
when it was decided to store the
trunk, it was cleaned out thoroughly
and in the bottom were found two
packages of explosives marked "thirty
per cent, nltro glycerine.'
