T1IKY BELIEVE THAT AN EARLY
CROP OK SKA ISLAND COTTON
WILL SAVE IT FROM POLL
WEEVIL.
The proposition to develop i
■train of Sen latnnd cotton thnt will
mptur. early I* crenting much
threat In Snvtnnnh. The Morning
New. of Saturday had a ator, In
which aotn* of th. leading cotton
men on the Bay were quoted In re-
card to tho matter. The Morning
Newa nald:
"Savannah cotton man. und partic
ularly those Interested In tha
Island variety, read with Interest
in tha Morning Newa yesterday rela
tiro of tho work being don. ot
Voldoato by In Williams, tha govern,
ipent expert, looking to tha saf«-
guardlng of sea Island cotton from
th. boll weevil.
"WhII. the boll weevil has not yet
reached th. Ms Island dlatrlct, nnd
may bo several yenrt In doing to,
thor* la little doubt among th. cot
ton men that th. pe*t would b* as
damaging to the net Island eotton
as It la to th. abort staple variety.
"Col. O. A. Gordon, of W. W. Gor
don A Co., who handle a grant deal
ot >«a Island, thinks that grant good
may com. to th. government work
along this lino. Col. Gordon thlaka
tha government Is proeMdlng alone

velop n (train of non Island cotton
that will mature before the boll
In Its work. H. calls
) the success which has
been bad by some In the belt al
ready afflicted (by th. boll wmtII by
those who hav. produced an early
maturing cotton, which matures nnd
out of the way before the
boll weevil la able to damage It.
"It was this Influx of enrly cotton
from Texas In July that broke the
backbone of the bull movement last
year, he says, as evidence of tho auc-
coes of the Texans In producing
enrly featuring cotton. Col. Gordon
says that while the sea laland cotton
le naturally later In maturing
can aea no reason why an enrly
yielding sen laland cotton should not
be produced In time to mature be
fore the boll weevil gets It, though
be admits the natural difficulties
would bo greater than In tbs
short staple cotton. ‘
“Col. Gordon Is very hopeful Dint
the government will be able to no-
rompllsh something worth while on
this line before the boll weevil reach,
ea the era Island country. He stats#
It as hla belief, however, that the
real progress In movements euch as
this, le not to he accompllehed with
the other generatlone of tarmera.
Taking na truo the statements of
those Interested In pushing th® Boys’
Corn Club movement that Improve
ment in that fleld can come only
through the education of the young
er generation to correct methods,
ho says he beltevce the beat results
In lighting such pest# like the boll
“weevil will come through the educa
tion of the boye on the forma na to
the methods by which the peats can
be overcome or eradicated.”

When one considers that with

day March 9th, there are hundreds
ot people employed, and that ot

performer. H* may lead the life of
a rover th* greater part of the year,
but like the snail, he carries hla

many homely comforts that the or

this queer traveling city they speak

PERSONAL MENTION.
Mr. Walter Taylor’s mother has
returned to her home In Camilla.
Ga., after apendlng a few daye In
thta city with Mr. and Mrs. Taylor.
• . •
Mr. Wilbur Oglesby came over
from Quitman and apent Sunday In
this city with the family of Mr. J. P.
Lewis.
Anne, shoe makers, a postmaster,
hostlers, electricians, and many oth
er mechanics and trtlanne, besides
the performers, all jumbled togeuer
and working for n common Interest.
Tha task of organising this traveling
city seems the moat wonderful tea
tureture of the Institution.
In Downle A Wheeler’s winter
quarters, the home of these new
giant shows, the work of organising
the circus began last September.
The Important thing le to engage
tho acta, and this la done “by agents
or the show, who, during the winter,
visit the amusement halls or Europe
dud Asia In search of noveltlos.
Meantime, In the ring barns the
trainers are putting the various ani
mal acts Into shape. A few weeke
before the season begin#' the var
ious performer! who have been rest'
Ing during the winter arrive to prac
tice their acta, that they may be per
fected by the time the regular re
hearsals begin, nnd nil winter the
sound of the anvil and the mallet la
heard at the circus quartan.
Meantime, the advertising can
have started out In advance, while
th# various contracting agents are on
their way, arranging for clrcua lots
and hill hoard apace, etc. Then
there la the 34-hour man, who la a
•tory In hlmeelf. He gets hla title
from being 14 hours ahead of the
show, arranging for wood, water,
food and Ice, besides attending to
many other matters that have arisen.'
Everything about th* Downle A
Wheeler’a Combined 8howa has been
systematised that It la Ilk*
great clock. All aorta ot obstael
are overcome dally with no thou
tag. Every day brings some m
problem to aotye. but when daylight |
