Bearden, a fisherman about 65 years of age, wa\ drowned near Johnson Landing in this county Tuesday, afternoon when his hatteau turned over in the Savannah river. His body has not been n •* recovered. Mr. Bearden lived in a tittle house fbotat anchored on the Georgia side of the river, and daily rowed across to take his only com panion, Dan Anderton, a boy about 12 years of age, io the South Caro lina side v/here he attended school. Tuesday afternoon when the boy re* turned from school -he called to Mr. Bearden, who put off from the house boat to meet him, and when about in the middle of the stream her fell over board and grasping the aide of the boat caused it to capsize. The bov was ihe only witness and says this waa' the last he saw of the drowning man. He gave the alarm and se* cured assistance, but could find no trace of him. The upburtiefl boat was found several miles below the point where the drowning took place. The boy. becoming confused by much Questioning, advanced the the ory that a negro had shot Mr. Bear den—that he heard the report of a pistol and saw a negro on the bank of the stream—at first suspicion rested on the boy and he was locked up, but later the authorities finding that he adhered to- his first account released him. The personal effect? Of Mr.' Bearden were found unmo lested in his houseboat—about $o00 being among them. He had lived alone on the river following the call ing of fisherman for several years, coming from North Georgia where he has some relatives who have not yet been located. Boll Weevil Prospects for 1926 •W *** --•ffr. ' By B. R. Coad. The rnnual examination of the Bureau of Entomology of the United States Department of Agriculture for the purpose of determining the sur vival of boll weevils in hibernation has now been completed. These examinations have been made every years since 1915. Up tU 1924, they were made only in the vicinity of Tallulah, Louisiana, where the princi pal laboratory is located, but for the past two years additional points have been included for the purpose of mak ing these records more widespread in their application. As usual these ex aminations have been .made in Spanish moss and the findings are recorded live weevils per ton of moss. The records from the beginning of this work to last year are shown in the following tabulation: * Live weevils Year per ton of moss Old Man Carter Helped by a Simple Mixture "After taking Adlerik'*.

Yet there is a simple method based on the famous Dr. King’s New Discovery, which usually breaks the worst cough entirely in 24 hours. K H^ hljhf biethpd: You take just one teaspoonful and hold it* in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swal lowing it. It has a double action. It not only soothes and heals irritation, but also removes the phlegm and con gestion which are the real cause of the coughing. So the most stubborn cough soon disappears completely. Dr. King’s New Discovery is for coughs, chest colds, bronchitis, spas modic croup, etc. Fine for children, too—no harmful drugs.

This season’s examinations were distribut ed throughout Louisiana from the south to the - north at perhaps fifty 4 ...... different points so that a fairly rep resentative average condition is re ported. In the south-east another group of points was selected in Georgia and still another in South Carolina. The following are the figures secured during March, 1926, at these various points: Live weevils State per ton of moss Louisiana IS Georgia _ r -- — 2 South Carolina —— 7 In contrasting these figures with past years, it should be remembered that the inclusion of points prevents an absolute accurate comparison, but these records do indicate something of what may be expected in the amount of weevils coming out from hiberna tion. For example, it is obvious th it the initial infestation in Lousana will be much- hear ter ttraTitasTyea r. IF will be very much heavier in South ern Louisiana than in the Northern part of tbp* State, but the year to year contrasts remain the same, and apparently, in the State as a whole, we can expect at least a normal in festation. Spotted conditions may be expected owing to the irregular dis tribution of leaf worm defoliations last fall.

Al,-| f^rry-Mmo, and Ham Wil.on, re.id- mg in the Plunkett Pond section of bama and Mississippi may expect a very spotted infestation probably averaging heavier than Georgia and South Carolina but liglhUlr thusp Louisiana. In Texas, general pros pects indicate a comparatively light initial infestation at practically all points except along the .Gulf Coast. To summarize, the Mississippr Valley territory, especially in Louisiana, may expect from a medium to' s heavy infestation, decreasing to the easward but with still sufficient wee vils present to do serious damage pro vided summer weather conditions are favorable for the weevils. In Texas, the weevil population is so reduced in a large portion of the State that it would require very abnormaL unfav orable weather to cause serious dam age but the remainder af the State, particularly along the Gulf Coast, ap parently has a more or less normal : condition. As has been pointed out in con- Jnedtion with past report^, these records only indicate t+ie initial em ergence of weevils from hibernation and . the final factor in determining the damage wjll be the summer cli matic conditions. ^Certainly, .some sections now face a very serious in festation of weevils.

Aiken County, were arrested early Monday morning aft^r an all night search by deputies Arthur Sheppard and McElhaney on complaint of a white woman, the wife of a Northern man en route from Florid* to Penn- sylvahia, temporarily residing^in that section. She charged them with at tempted criminal assault. They are being held in the Aiken County jail. The alleged attempted assault, ac cording to the woman’s statement took place Sunday night when the Negroes Vent to her home in the absence of har husband. She became alarmed and with her child, an in fant of two years made her escape, going to the home of J. H. Landrum, near Eureka, where she spent the night. The Negroes, ' becoming frightened, took to the woods after the'< departure of the woman, leaving the car in which they had been driv ing. The Negroes were said to have been drinking.

Body of Walker Keel _____ Taken to Allendale L Allendale, April 1.—The body of J. Walker Keel, 41, was brought from Columbia where he had died Wednes- morning,^ to the home coastal p'ain section and thus resent a territory in which the weevil crop was comparatively light last fall. This was illustrated by the early full examinations for wer-vils entering hibernation. The same remarks ap ply to Scxttb-PTrrrii’rra where the ex aminations were math along ‘he ccastal section of the State extending ns far north as Florence. Under the circumstances, it seems probable that the south-eastern States will have a fairly, light infestation at the outset but still amply sutficient to cause ser ious crop damage with normal rain- day morning,^ to the home pf his father, J. C. Keel, of this city, Wed nesday night. Mr. Keel had been in declining 'health for several months, and had been under treatment aj the Baptist hospital for six weeks. He was born and reared in this communi ty and was esteemed and loved by a host of friends for his sterling traits of character. After his marriage to Miss Bessie Tison, of this place, he moved to Mulberry. Fla., to accept the position of assistant manager of the International Agricultural cor poration. Just about the time hi* health failed the position of superin tendent of that firm was offered him. Mr. Keel was highly esteemed by hi« employees as indicated by the confi— - dence they placed in him. He enjoyed the love and confidence of his neigh bors and fellow townsmen, and was regarded as a man of the highest Christian principles. He was a mem ber of the Presbyterian church, the Knights of Pythias and a. Shriner. ‘ The funeral services were conduct ed at Swallow Savannah cemetery by the Rev. D. M. Clark, the Presbyter ian miivster, assisted by the Rev. P. H. Hooks, pastor of the Baptist m church. After the services the Masons took charge and performed the last rites, and his remains were laid to rest with Masonic honors.'

Send H- Your Job Work. ■i, - Railroading mans job T HERE is no occupation in the world which is more exacting in its demands on the indi vidual than railroading. That is why the world over the term “railroad man” denotes men of character, trustworthiness and useful citizenship. But if the demands on the individual railroad man are great, so are the opportunities. The men with the responsibilities of leadership on the Southern today have grown up with the railroad. To handle the greater traffic of the growing South expeditiously, economically and dependably, the Southern needs the best men of the South. Railroading has always attracted the best type of citizenships And it always will. It is a man's job. SYSTEM South
