The office of clerk of the Supe rior sought for now more than any other. The prospective candi dates so far are Messrs. F. L. Reese, W. II. Jones, W. .T. Worley, 51. L.

The Cabbage Question. Editor Eagle: Not for one moment have I attached any im portance whatever to tho “eel worm” recently found in cabbage. But there is one phase of this ques tion well worth our attention. It is this: Some people occasionally sprinkle Paris Green upon their cabbage for the purpose of killing tho worms and other insects that prey upon the plant. For this purpose it is very effective. But Paris Green, as is generally known, is a deadly poison. A very small quantity of it will cause alarming symptons. When sprink ling on cabbage it is supposed that subsequent rains will wash it all away. This is a very dangerous practice. Paris Green should nev er, under any circumstances, be used for this purpose on cabbage. Now, if it be true, that anybody at all has been poisoned by eating cabbage, I suspect that Paris Green did it. L. C. Allen. Hosebton, Ga.
