NUMBER 9.
IS COTTON DOftlEB AS CROP
In Parts of Texas the Weevil Has
so Decreed,
The Steady Movement of Peat in This
Direction Causes Alarm Among
Our Growers.
Louisiana cotton growers want quar¬
antine declared against Texas cotton.
They are alraid that if cotton is per¬
mitted to come into their state it will
bring the boll weevil, with it.
A delegation of Louisiana planters
visited Dallas, Texas, recently and asked
Mr. Wilson, secretary of agriculture,
who was there to address the boll weevil
convention, to declare such a quaran¬
tine. His answer was that he did not -
think the progress of the weevil to¬
wards the Louisiana cotton fields could
be stopped in that way, and it is proba¬
ble he was right.
The Louisiana cottou planters, how¬
ever, are so amnned by the steady
movement of the weevil in their direc¬
tion that they are anxious to try every
means to. check it. - *
It is only a few years since the weevil
appeared in Texas, coming, it is be¬
lieved, from Mexico, but in that short
time it lias done that state damage
amouiititig to many millions of dollars.
The damage that it has done in Texas
this year is estimated to be more than
#!ai,0Ou,Q0Q. Cotton in whole counties
has been des'royed, and the area cov¬
ered by the weevil is being steadily and
rapidly increased.
t has been stated that the secretary
of agriculture of Texas th'at recently express¬
ed the opinion the pest would
spread over the entire cottou belt, and
that cotton as a crop in the south was
doomed. Of course he has a right to
that opinion, and doubtless it is worthy
of very careful consideration, because
he has given the holl weevil evil a great
deal of attention. It is not too much to s [
Bay that he kuows more about it than
any other man in the country.
That Louisiana is greatly alarmed by
the progress of the weevil toward her
borders is shown by the request of her
planters. It is evident that they believe
that if a way isn’t, found to fight the
evil successfully cotton will cease to be
a crop in their state as it has in a very
considerable part of Texas.
It does seem as if scientists would be
able to cope with the evil. A large re¬
ward has been offered by Texas for a
remedy for it, and the government at
Washington is doing all it can to re¬
lieve the cottou fields of the post. Thus
far, however, nothing that has been
tried seems to meet the requirements of
the situation, and farmers in great areas
of Texas have been compelled to aban¬
don the cultivation of cotton.
There have been reports that the boll
weevil has been found in fields in Geor¬
gia and Alabama, but there is reason for
doubting the reports. It is not at all
improbable, however, that before many
years the pest will appear in these
states. The whole south, in fact the
whole world, is profoundly interested in
this matter, for the whole world would
suffer if the south were to cease to be a
cotton producer.
How We Catch a Cold.
A cold is sometimes contracted while
remaining inactive for a while in an
uncomfortable room or a cold draft and
by falling to sleep under like conditions.
But most colds are caught while sleep¬
ing too cold at night, Deep sleep causes
sluggish circulation which renders the
system susceptable to change of tem¬
perature. To prevent colds, sleep under
plenty of cover. To cure colds use Ry
dales Elixir, it lessens the severity and
shortens the duration of a cold and
prevents Pneumonia, Bronchitis and
Consumption. W. .T. Cooper & Co.,

BROAD STR.,
ATHENS, GEORGIA.
Approved by Morgan.
An old Washington gentleman tells a
story which he heard President Lincoln
repeat, and which he believes has not
been published.
During oue of his busy reception
Hours, when the president wa* talking ,1k
first to one, then to another, of the many
who filled the room in the White House,
a gentleman asked if any news had been
received from John Morgan, whose Con¬
federate calvary were raiding Kentucky
and Ohio.
“We’ll Lincoln. catch John “I some of these days,"
replied admire him, for ha
is a bold operator. He always goes af¬
ter the mail trains, in order to get in¬
formation from Washington. On his
last raid he opened some mail bags and
took possession of tho official correspon¬
dence,
“One letter was from the War De¬
partment to a lieutenant in Grant’s army.
It contained a captain’s commission for
him. Right under the signature of A.
Lincold he wrote, ‘Approved: John Mor¬
gan aud sent the commission on its
way. So there is one officer in our
anvy whose commission bears my signa¬
ture, with the approval of that dare¬
devil Confederate raider.”
A Costly Mistake.
Blunders are sometimes very expen¬
sive. • Occasionally life itself is the price
of a mistake, but you’ll never be wrong
if you take Dr. King’s New Life Pills
for Dyspepsia, Dizziness, Headache,
Liver or Bowel troubles. They ner are i gen
tie yet thorough. 25c. at W. J. Cooper Jr
