A HALF CENTURY AGO TODAY
Some Things of Interest That Happened
Fifty Years Ago.
(Excerpts from Early County News
of May 28th, 1880.)
THE 15 puzzle had a very short
run in Georgia.
VERY HEAVY RAINS fell in
Blakely on Friday and Saturday of
last week.
A SERIOUS DROUGHT is prevail
ing in Maryland and Virginia, which
is injuring the wheat crop very
much.
ONE OF Blakely’s young men,
when he wants to go WADING, al
ways crosses Spring creek and goes
to Arlington
ON WEDNESDAY LAST, Dr. M.
T. Alexander left our town to take
up his abode in Apalachicola, where
he will pursue his profession.
A LETTER from Jarrett & Hyatt (
published in the News this week,
thanks the people of Blakely for
their kindness and hospitality.
GENERAL JOHN B. GORDON has
tendered his resignation to Gov. Al
fred H. Colquitt, of Georgia, as U.
S. Senator. Gov. Colquitt appointed
ex-Governor Jos. E. Brown to fill
the vacancy.
Mopping Proves Effective
Means to Halt Weevils
Mixture of Arsenate, Molasses and
Water Used with Success.
Tifton, Ga. —Two to three appli
cations on young cotton of a mixture
made up of 2 pounds of calcium
arsenate, 1 gallon of black strap mo
lasses and one gallon of water is a
very effective poison, under normal
conditions, for boll weevils that
emerge in early spring, according to
results obtained at the Coastal Plain
Experiment Station here.
Black strap molasses may be had
for about 23 cents per gallon and
calcium arsenate for about seven
cents per pound. The materials may
be combined by the above formula
into a liquid mixture (costing 20
cents or less per gallon.
Two moppings properly made dur
ing the 10 to 12 day period before
the squares appear should kill 95
per cent of the boll weevils which
survive ith'e winter, unless rains
wash off the poison. These mop
pings can be made for 40 to 50
cents per application per acre, which
affords cotton growers the cheap
est form of insurance obtainable
against severe weevil injury. General
mopping of the young cotton should
reduce the late summer migration to
a minimum, making it possible to
mature more of the middle and top
cfop.
After the early application of
the syrup mixture have been made
the field should be inspected at
frequent intervals. Close / watch
should be kept, especially where
the field borders on a swamp or
timber land. If it is discovered that
there are infested spots due to late
emergence, these should be
thoroughly poisoned in order to avoid
general infestation. If infested spots
are ' discovered while the cotton is
small, the syrup mixture may be used,
but if the cotton plants have reached
considerable size a better job can
be done by dusting.
Any late season poisoning is done
through the use of calcium arsen
ate dust applied with a dusting ma
chine. Early migration may make
dusting advisable in order to permit
a good crop to mature.
During ordinary to dry growing
seasons the early poisoning with
the syrup mixture, as outlined above,
is usually sufficient to control the
boll weevil until migration takes
place when it may be necessary to
use one or two applications of dust
to protect the young bolls. If, how
ever, cloudy or rainy weather sets
in after the cotton reaches consider
able size and infestation is discover
ed sufficient to threaten the crop,
calcium arsenate dust should be ap
plied with a good dusting machine
at four to five days intervals until
the weevils are under control.
To make up the syrup mixture, it
is best to first mix the calcium
arsenate and water in a barrel or
tub. Stir this well in order to
thoroughly mix the calcium arsenate
with the water. Then add the syrup
or molasess and stir again. This
procedure avoids lumping or poor
condition of the mixture. In mop
ping it is necessary to keep the mix
ture stirred. ,
A careful hand will mop one acre
with one gallon of this mixture the
first time the cotton is mopped. The
secondhand third applications will [
require 1 1-4 to 1 1-2 gallons of the
mixture to the acre. The cost in [
any* event should not exceed 50c I
per acre for labor and materials. I
The dry season which has existed i
during the past few weeks is of
fering an excellent opportunity for
South Georgia cotton growers to
clean their fields of boll weevils.
Advantage may be taken ( of sea
sonal conditions now offered to in
sure the late crop of cotton of a
minimum infestation during the
growing season and a light migra
tion in late summer.
Henry Ford should go down in
history as the man practically re
sponsible for the abolition of the
horse fly.—Louisville Times.
MR. F. J. KING, of this county,
informed a merchant of our town,
about the 20th last, that he was mak
ing his 60th crop.'
ON MONDAY LAST, we were
shown a cotton bloom from a stalk
planted this season. It came from
the plantation of Mr. M. L. Burney,
of the 6th district. If Mr. Burney
has much of this early cotton, he
will stand a good chance of getting
ahead of Primus Jones, of Baker,
for the first bale on the market.
FROM THE Augusta Chronicle:
“We learn from good authority that
Republican candidates will be run in
all the congressional districts of the
State except in the Eighth. Mr.
Stephens is entirely acceptable to the
Republicans and they will not antag
onize him. It is surmised, with what
force we do not pretend to say, that
such action will defeat Speer and
Felton, in the 9th and 7th districts,
and operate in favor of the organ
ized democrats.” (It will be seen
by this that Alexander H. Stephens
was accused of being a Republican
or a radical, and that both Judge
Emory Speer and Dr. Felton also
belonged to the same class. Mrs.
Rebecca L. Felton, lately deceased,
was the wife of this Dr. Felton.)
Tybee, Savannah Beach, Now
Open for Summer Season
’Elaborate Plans Made for Summer
Entertainment.
Saturday, May 24, saw the opening
of the 1930 Season at Tybee (Geor
gia’s Summer Playground) “Where
Ocean Breezes Blow.”
Tybrisa Pavilion, operated by the
Tybee Amusement Company, presents
one of the most complete and inter
esting programs of summer enter
tainment on the Atlantic seaboard.
Tybrisa bath houses and restau
rant, also the Breakers Amusement
Park, bath houses and pavilion will be
opened and patrons will find excellent
service, new suits, towels and clean,
sanitary rooms awaiting them.
The lid was really lifted for the
1930 season on Saturday night when
a colorful dance, with souvenirs for
ladies and gentlemen, started the ball
rolling. Tybrisa and Tybee is now in
full swing with dances every night
except Sunday on the big pavilion,
Sunday afternoon and evening con
certs, all giving the usual high class
service.
George Walker and his Orchestra
made their bow to Tybrisa audiences
Saturday night and they presented a
program of dance music and enter
tainment not excelled by any on the
Atlantic coast from Maine to Florida.
This eleven-piece orchestra is one of
the most clever, talented and enter
taining orchestras to be obtained. The
orchestra consists of eleven clever
musicians, young and modishly
groomed. They are entertainers as
well as musiciahs.
On the Breakers rpavilion there
will be established an attractive bil
liard parlor and other new 7 attract
ions will include a miniature golf
course, frozen custard stand, etc.
Hotel Tybee opened on May 24.
Hotel, cottages, bath house and pa
vilion will be under the manage
ment of Mr. H. M. Stanford. Mr.
Stanford expects to operate Hotel
Tybee both summer and winter and
expects to provide a years’ round
entertainment for his patrons, such
as bridge parties, teas and other so
cial functions. The hotel will
specialize in sea food dinners and
announcement is made that a high
class orchestra has been engaged,
each member being a phonograph
recording player.
The Sea Breeze Hotel, under the
management of Mr. E. B. Izlar, and
the Ocean View Hotel, under the
management of Habersham P. An
derson, will as usual attract many
visitors. These hotels offer real
service at reasonable prices.
The Atlantic Hotel at Atlantic
Club station with all rooms on ocean
side and southern exposure will also
attract many visitors.
The Beach Hotel, which is con
veniently located near the Central
of Georgia station, is now open under
the management of Mrs. W. H. Bai
ley.
There is something going on at
Tybee for every body all the time.
Surf bathing, dancing, fishing, boat
ing and all the other delights will be
found at Georgia’s Playground.
Tybee is accessible to the people
of the Southeastern States by the
reason of the splendid through train
service of the Central of Georgia
Railway ,in coach, buffet-parlor car,
or sleeping can to Savannah, thence
via frequent trains between Savannah
and Tybee.
Week-end fares to Tybee at great
reductions, tickets on sale at near

EARLY COUNTY NEWS, BLAKELY. GEORGIA
DISCOVERY OF NEW
GASOLINE ANNOUNCED
Special Blend Is Claimed to Be
Far More Powerful.
The Natural Gasoline Association,
in convention at Tulsa, Okla., last
week, announced the discovery of a
more powerful gasoline, a blend es
pecially for automobiles, writes How
ard W. Blakeslee, Associated Press
Science Editor.
The mixture restores what the
motorist likes to call the “old fash
ioned goodness” to gasoline, by
which he means quick, easy starting
in cold weather. It is described also
as adding power which the “old
time” gas never had, and as increas
ing the available gasoline supply.
The blending formula is a gift to
the petroleum industry, in the form
of bulletin 14 from the Department
of Engineering Research of the Uni
versity of Michigan. It 7 is noncom
mercial, anyone who wishes being
free to use it. The development was
sponsored by the Natural Gasoline
Association of America, and was
done under direction of George
Granger Brown, professor of chemi
cal engineering and director of re
search of the Association. He pre
sented to the Convention in the final
result of work which began four
years ago.
He said his findings enable oil re
finers to produce gasoline not only
specially adapted to the modern au
tomobile, but particularly fitted for
all ranges of temperature encounter
ed in the United States.
He restores to gasoline two in
gredients which have been largely
removed in recent years by the
methods of production and refining.
One of these is natural gasoline,
found in the natural gas removed at
the well mouth. It is highly volatile,
vaporizing so readily that it fires
easily in cold weather.
The other restored substance
which gives the added power in hot
weather is naphtha, usually removed
in the refining and sold as such* or
included in kerosene. Its effect is
opposite from that of natural gaso
line, retarding vaporization. It comes
into use when the engine is hot.
In that stage the acceleration of
modern engines tends to cause com
pletely vaporizing fuel to choke and
drag.
“Such a blended product,” said
Professor Brown, “having at least 35
per cent vaporized even at low tem
peratures and not more than 75 per
cent vaporized at high temperatures,
is actually far superior to the origi
nal material which may be complete
ly vaporized. This statement is con
trary to the common impression that
a fuel should be completely vaporized
to give the best performance on mod
ern motor cars.”
Already some big refiners, who
formerly discarded natural gasoline
altogether, have put it back into
their “gas.”
MRS. AMANDA H. WILLIS.
Tifton, Ga_—The body of Mrs.
Amanda Hollingsworth Willis, who
dropped dead at the home of her
granddaughter, Mrs. W. R. Bowden,
at 604 Central avenue, Wednesday
morning of last week, was taken to
Bridgeboro for interment, the fu
neral party lefiaving Tifton at 2:30
Thursday afternoon. Funeral serv
ices were conducted at Kimball
church, in Worth county, at 4:00
o’clock Thursday afternoon by Rev.
C. A. Jackson, Jr., with interment
in the Kimball cemetery.
Mrs. Willis was Miss Amanda
Hollingsworth before her marriage
to J. M. Willis on March 5, 1881.

county, April 5, 1866, being 64 years
old. She made her home at Bridge
boro, but had been here for four
days visiting Mrs. Bowden. She un
derwent an operation at Thomasville
in January of this year, but appar
ently had recovered previous to the
heart attack Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Willis is survived by the fol
lowing children: D. H. Willis,
Bridgeboro; W. J. Willis, Blakely;
Mrs. H. L. Daniels, Bridgeboro; Mrs.
J. T. Tillman, Norman Park; B. A.
Willis, Bridgeboro; Miss Sarah Wil
lis, Bridgeboro. Four children pre
ceded her to the grave.
