the itenerary of the boll weevil ex
perts who are being sent out by the
stat% to conduct a campaign against
the weevils. The date of the meeting
has been set for Wednesday, October
2Bth. On account of the proximity
of this date to those set for the boun
ty fair, the original plan to make it
a big get together affair, can not be
carried out as extensively as it v(as
.at first hoped to be. The fact that
this cannot be done will in no wise
lessen the importance of the work
that is to be done on this day, be
cause the prime pan>ose of the meet
ing is to acquaint the farmers and
other business men of the county with
tome extremely im'portant'facts (

Associate members of .thp -Staff of
{ » board of entoMology,’ expert
;on breeding; representatives. of
Ext ensior "Division of the United
tes Department of Agriculture
: the Georgia Experiment Station
;se men are on a tour throughout
state and are giving their' time
attention almost exclusively to the
jy of the weevil and. the most suc-
iful methods for farming in weevil
ssted districts. Since the weevil
already made good headway in
DYoly it is expected that every man
in the county whovean well be here
.on this date to learn what he can
from these men who ark making a
scientific-practical study of the pest.
Besides the addresses and discus
sions that are to be held at theV
house, it is.undetstobd that these men
will also go to the fieldswith the'farm
ers to make practical demonstrations.

Atlanta, Ga., Oct.—The biggest
problem confronting Hugh M. Dorsey
when he goes-into office as governor
will be the financial condition of the
state. For several years the legisla
ture has been in the habit of making
very large and extifavagant appropria
tions and then cutting off the source
cf income. Those who have voted for
the largest appropriations as an exam
ple, have clamored for the repeal of
t\g tax equalization act, which sound
ed the doom of the tax dodger.
At one bound the tax equalization
act, which was passed during the ad
ministration of. Governor Slaton
raised tax values 386,000,060 and has
maintained them for the last two
years. Without this increase, /fee
state would have been in a hopeless
condition financially. In the some ad
ministration on the governor’s rec
ommendation, the license fen of cor
porations were doubled, and the in
heritance tax was passed. The latter
act alone will bring 3100,000 into
the state treasury from^the James M.
Smith esjate; or as much as thirty
small counties would pay in a year.
These measures cut the tax rate from
five to four and one-half mills and
marketed Georgia’s bonds at the most
advantageous rale in the' country, be
sides paving the way for prompt pay

Already the whole leeway' created
by those various measures has been
taken up and the problem' coqfront-

attention during political campaigns,

“The Shielding Shadow.”
Atlanta Ga., Oct.—Atlanta lawyers;
are discussing with a great deal of in

contained, in the ship exemption
amendment to the constitution of, the
state which will bevoted on by the
people in the forthcoming general
election.. .
This amendment submitted to the
people by the last legislature, author-,
Wet the legislature to ..exempt from
taxation all Georgiamwned ships.
Lawyers who have .examined, the
proposed amendment declare that
j-onld the people, ratify the tame, add
should the legislature exercise -the au
thority which.it carries, then ' every
•hip-owning corporation in the United
Itates could, under the laws, of the
date and the federal. constitution,
•roeure charters iii Georgia, establish
‘heir legal domiciles In this sUte, and
.hereby secure exemption from taxes
>n all their ships In the foreign trade,
n other words instead of being sn
•xemption confined to ships in foreign
trade owned by bona fide Georgians,
the act coitld be used by any and all
hip owners. And meanwhile, col-
ege endowments in Georgia must con-
inue to pay taxes, while practically
, no states eexempt ships from'taxes.
The first lyceum attraction of the

auditorium Monday evening. October
16th, at 8 o’clock. Those who signed

' Characterized by n greater myato
than the myzfexy of fee Laughin
Mask in . the “Iron Claw,” a greatL
love interest than that of “The Red
Circle,” and greater thrills than those
of the “Perils of Pauline” and “The
Exploits of Elaine,” Pathe’s Wonder
Serial, “The Shielding Shadow,” will
be presented at the Dixie Theater
here beginning next Monday night,
October 15th. _ .
"The Shielding Shadow" features
Grace Darmand, a charming and ap
pealing girl, an actress of beauty, ex
perience and ability; Ralph Keltard,
who has been seen in some of Pathe’s
Gold Rooster plays and has had a
long and successful career on the
Stage, and Leon Bary, a leading figure
o't the French stage and one of the
handsomest men on the screeh, whoso
work in the “Shielding Shadow" is
so good that a long time contract has 1
been signed with him for future pro
ductions.
The ’picture was made by the Astra
Film Corporation under the personal
direction of Louis J. Gunier and .
Donald Mackenzie, who produced
“The Perils of Pauline,” and a num
ber of Gold Rooster plays. The au
thor of the scenarios ia George B.
Seitz, who wrote ‘The Iron-Claw”
and whose work on the “Perils of
Pauline” and “The Exploits of Elaine”
contributed to theis great success.
Through long experience, through
carefully feeling the public’s pulse
und gauging the public’s taste,' fee
Psthe Company knows what motion .
picture audiences want. In “Tho
Shielding Shadow,” therefore, tHero
are: a beautiful leading lady support
ed by two splendid actors, and adven
ture, love, mystery, and a strong, ele
ment of suspense throughout.
There is a mysterious . character
ceiled Ravenger, who will baffle the
audience more than did fhe mystery
of the Laughing Mask Jn “The Iron
Claw.” Then thore is the mystery of
The Shielding Shadow." There are
more thrills—real thrills developing
logically from powerful situations—
than there have ever been in ahy
other aerial according to'officials of
the company.
There are: a fire at leaf an escape
from aconvict ship locked in a coffin,
a fight with an octopus on Ravenger’s
Ledge, a two thousand foot drop .into
the aea from a balloon and many other
scenes of bravery and daring.
“The Shielding Shadow" te a thrill-
ing story of. flesh and blood people,
the novellsation of which by Bandatl
Parrish will be read by millions. It
Is based upon a scientific fact and a
remarkable discovery. \
