He tells u.« that the boll weevil has taken possession of the cototn fields in South Georgia and stripped the plants of fruit. The pest was never so destructive as this year. Mrs. Rast, of Quitman, is on a visit to Mr. McElroy and says that for some six weeks they have had al most unceasing rains, and the cot ton crop is given over to weevils. Mr. McElroy says about six weeks ago he visited Brooks county ami never saw n finer crop prospect.

Farmers from other sections report this worm in their cotton, hut say it does not do much harm and eats the lava of the weevil ns well as killing the square it enters. MRS.

Corn was blown down and all growing crops beaten and blown about lmdly. A large treo was blown across a porch of a house on Oak street in east Athens while numerous other trees were twisted down or Uprooted. Streams were swollen as tin* water poured down them in torrents but from reports that have come in no serious damage was done. Tim rain in the western part of tho county was lighter than on the east but was general all over this section. jucksoTcourt is ADJOURNED A WEEK (Continued From Pag® One) It is found that the large ca hies carrying the enormous num ber of wires furnishing service in nil sections of the city are badly affected, each cable having trou ble in many different sections of same, consequently it is a most difficult problem to make rapid progress on account of having to locate so many troubles in the various sections of the cables. The weather being fuir with the hot sunshine is very helpful in the clearing of cable trouble and with the great effort being made by the plant forces the telephone company will no doubt restore practically all service wjthin the day. Cable testing machines are run ning in almost all cables, so if you hear strange noises like wood peckers and frogs don’t he alarm ed os this is simply the tones from the little machines that an? playing a great part in locating the damaged places in the cables so that repairs may be made with the least possible delay. Manager J. W. Jarrell stated that he regretted tho inconven ience being experienced by at least 500 subscribers but same is brought about by a condition over which his company has no con trol, and that the most active ef forts are being made to restore the service to those subscribers who have been inconvenienced on account of thq storm damage. probability of the hill creating Piedmont judicial circuit being passed by tho senate within the next day or two w'hich would by operation of law disqualify tho present judge and solicitor.

The grand jury was instructed to report next Monday for ser- vlco as well as the traverse jury which was drawn to serve this week. The jury drawn to servo next week fs required to report a week later for service. In the event the new circuit is created there will be two full weeks of the present term of court, hut if the senate does not pass the bill there will *bo only ono week, as the Walton county superior court would prevent the holding over longer than tho regular weeks THElfSlEWS (Continued from page one.)
