FAYETTEVILLE, GEORGIA, MAY 26, 1922.

HOW TO USE AR
SENATE TO CON
TROL BOLL WEEVIL
I. . Use only pure calcium arse
nate in the form of a dry powder.
2. Apply only in the dust from
without mixing with anything.
3. Apply only with dusting ma
chines made for dusting cotton.
4. Dust only when the air is still.
Best results come from night dusting.
5. Use 5 to 7 pounds of calcium
A rsenate per acre for each applica
tion.
6. Start dusting in any field as
soon as weevils are in all parts of
field. Some fields need dusting earl
ier than others. Local spots can be
dusted and retard, general infesta
tion.
7. Keep cotton thoroughly cover
ed until weevils are under control.
This means dust every four days af-
j ter beginning until four applications
■have been made.
8. Then stop poisoning until wee
vils are bad again.
9. If you have heavy rain in a
few hours after dusting, dust the
same field immediately.
10. Do not expect to kill all the
weevils. Calcium arsenate only keeps
them down enough to permit a crop
to be set.
II. Do as much as you can to make
your yield high. It costs as much to
spray an acre whether you make a
quarter or a bale per acre.
12. If you are not convinced, leave
some poisoned cotton to see whether
it does any good or not.
13. Sometimes weevils are in all
parts of a field before the cotton has
any squares. If this is true, dust the
cotton with calcium arsenate once or
twice just as the squares begin to
be large enough to be punctured.
This early dusting may be done with
a sack or with a guano horn with a
fpiece of cheese cloth tied over the
large end and one or two pounds per
acre will do at this time.
Mr. B. R. Coad who is at the head
of the Government Boll Weevil Ex
periment Station at Tallulah, La., says
he can make a one hundred per cent
cotton crop on his own farm and un
der his personal supervision ,under
heavy infestation or can make it on
any one else’s farm under his per-
ghsonal supervision. If others can do
it, why can’t we.
Reliable experiments have been
made and it behooves us to accept
the experience of those who know
and save our cotton crop. Mr. Coad’s
method is with calcium arsenate, in
a dust form, put on with a dust gun
made for dusting cotton, and START
ING IN TIME. You can’t wait until
the cotton is destroyed and then save
it.
STATES. S.
CONVENTION
At
Columbus, on June
13-14-15.
Columbus, Ga., May 24.—Plans for
making the State Sunday School Con
vention, which meets in Columbus, jon
June 13-14-15, a success so far as lo
cal arrangements are concerned, are
being perfected by a local committee
of arrangements, of which jW. H,
Young is general chairman. Assisting
Mr. Young are the following sub-chair-
meh: C. R. McAllister, entertainment;
J. R. Fitzpatrick, registration; Ham
lin W. Ford, buildings /and ushers; T.
C. Kendrick, publicity; E. W. Stephens
finance; Dr. F. M. Jenkins, reception,
and Mrs. C. M. Trulock, pageant.
The invitation to meet in Columbus
this year was tendered by the Musco
gee County Sunday School Association,
the Kiwanis Club, the Rotary Club,
the City Federation;of Women’s Club,
the city of Columbus, through the may
or, the chamber of commerce, the Mus
cogee county commissioners and the
Advertising Club.
It is understood that a strong array
of out-of-state speakers and/about thir
ty of the leading Sunday school work
ers lof all denominations in Georgia
have been secured to take part on the
program, assuring one of the best pro
grams ever presented at a gathering of
this kind in the state. Hinton Booth
of Statesboro, is president of the State
Sunday School Association, and ; will
preside at a number of the sessions^
assisted by the vice presidents and oth
er leading officials.
This Will Beat the Boll
Weevil and Build Up
the Farm.
Republicans “Fool the
Farmer” by False
Philosophy.
Those farmers who are being made
to believe thati they are going jto
benefit largely by high rates placed
upon agricultural products in the
pending tariff bill should give heed
to the following statement by Sena
tor Underwood, than whom there is
no higher^ithorny on tariff taxation
In this country. Senator Underwood
said:
“The argument is used that because
taxes have been levied on manufac
tured products, taxes should be levied
on agricultural products, and if you
are going to penalize the American
people by taxation for the benefit of
the manufacturer, you should penalize
<j|them with taxation for the benefit of
the fanner.
“If you were going into that false
philosophy and going to use the tax
ing power for some purpose other
than the revenues of the government,
I might very well concede that if you
could you should throw the blanket
of protection as far as possible, if it
was beneficial. But I think where the
fallacy of the argument comes is that
under the guise of protection, under
the guise of doing something to help
the agricultural interests in some par
ticular item, you ask their support for
a bill which means that for every dol
lar of benefit they may derive out of
the bill they must pay $100 in taxes to
benefit some one else, or for the 1
per, cent of protection which they may
get under the bill they must pay the
99 per cent of protection which is af-
fonfl/d to other people. I do not think
there is any question about that prop
osition.”
MAY MEETING
WOMAN’S CLUB
^e Fayetteville Woman’s Club will
meet Monday afternoon, May 29th,
t the home of Mrs. C. D. Redwine
t 3 o’clock.
The first can of sour cream shipped
from Fayetteville was made last Fri-
day by G. & G. Hardware Co., for
Mr. K. W. McElwaney. This shipment
contained thirty-four pounds of cream
testing 40 per cent butter fat which
was sold at .?/. and a check was
received from the creamery Tuesday
morning for $4.62.
This cream is thej ‘product of four
cows in four days, and at this aver
age will net the owner about $9.00
per month, per cow, for the cream
only, not considering the value of the
skim milk for feeding hogs and poul
try, and not to mention the revenue
that will be received In the way of
manure to fertilize the farm.
One hundred farmers in this vicin
ity should be receiving a cream check
like this every four or five days and
when this is so our people can laugh
at the boll weevil and will be willing
to erect a monument to his memory.
Mr. McElwaney made his second
shipment of cream Wednesday and is
pleased at the results of the first
shipment and the anticipation for the
future.
Athletes Tied for First
■' Place at Geor
gia Tech.
Atlanta, Ga., May 24.—Tied for first
place in scholastic standing in the se
nior class at Georgia School of Tech
nology are two jof the most famous
football players on the Golden Tor
nado.
They are Albert Staton, tackle, and
Oscar Davis, guard. Staton is the only
man in Southern football who has ever
been selected on the (Composite All-
Southern team in two different posi
tions. In 1919 he was the All-South
ern selection at the end position and
in 1921 he was selected for the tackle
position on the All-Southern eleven.
He is also a Tech varsity basketball
player. Oscar Davis has been men
tioned for All-American and All-South
ern teams at the guard position. He
has also participated in other forms
of athletics at Tech.
Staton and Davis headed the list
among the seniors on the Tech honor
roll for this year, which has just been
made public. The honor roll is com
posed of the students ranking highest
in scholarship, only ten per cent in
each class being eligible. These; two
Yellow Jackets have won many other
scholastic honors. Both of them have
won the scholarship Gold “T” and have
been elected for membership in Phi
Kappa Phi, honorary fraternity. Sta
ton is also assistant secretary of the
Tech Y. M. C. A. and a leader in re
ligious work among 'the students.
Ballroom Dancing.
The earliest form of ballroom danc
ing was the quadrille, start*! about
1815. This was followed by the lan
cers, invented In 1836. The polka was
adopted in 1835. The waltz, which
came from Germany, In 1795, did not
become popular as a ballroom dance
till later. The two-step is an Ameri
can Invention.
FAYETTE WOMAN’S CLUB.
ANNUAL REPORT
NOVEMBER, 1920-
MAY, 1922.
Owing to change in limits of club year, made by the State Federation, the year extend
ing from May to May instead of November to November, as formerly, it was necessary to
extend our club year to cover a period of eighteen months—by way of adjustment.
The Fayetteville Woman’s Club reports a most successful year. While we fhavel not ac
complished all we desired to accomplish, we have made progress along many lines.
We have grown in interest, in strength |and co-operation, and, best of all, we feel that
we have the interest and appreciation of our people.
We have enjoyed 12 regular meetings. It was decided at the beginning of the year not
to have year books. Our programs planned by our progressive program committee 'have
been interesting and instructive. It was due to the efforts of the Child Welfare Committee
that Dr. Bocker, supervisor of child welfare of [the State Board of Health, gave the club a
helpful talk. Especially enjoyable was a health playlet given by the children of the first and
second grades, i At another time, Miss Templeton of the State Library Comlmission ad
dressed the club on Library work.
Through the co-operation of the members, money was raised to finish paying for the
set of Wonder World Books for the Library, and the Domestic Science Department of the
School.
A good bit of work was done on the little park last spring and the shrubs and flowers
made it an attractive spot.
The club furnished (meals to a sick colored woman for three weeks. Part of the money
used for this was given by the public and turned over to the club.
Our Library is growing. The Library and Finance Committee have made it possible
to buy many new books, by making money on plays and in various other ways; 208 books
have been added, making a total of 919 books. A number of the new books are for the
young people. An improved system of checking the books in Library has been installed.
Our club entertained the County Federation in May. A good many ladies from the oth
er clubs attended this meeting.
The club is very much interested in the work of improving the cemetery. The com
mittee for this work has sent out over three hundred letters to owners of lots, telling them
of this work, and asking their co-operation. The work has been delayed until the deeds of
the cemetery are turned over to the city by the county. But we are looking (forward to the
work there, and to make it the beautiful place it should be.
The club has shown its interest in the school in many ways. Our child welfare com
mittee with the aid of the doctors of the town, (made a physical examination of all gram
mar school children. We too(k an active part in working for bonds for an auditorium. We
served dinner for (the teachers when the institute met here. Our club joins with other clubs
of the county in giving a prize to the winner of first place in composition of the county
school contests. All of our members were interested in the question of our school tax. We
are anxious to have our new school building well equipped and money is being made for
buying some of this equipment.
The County Federation met in Woolsey in November. About 15 of our members at
tended this enjoyable meeting.
Our annual book shower was held in December at the home of Mrs. Ingralm.
Carols (were sung at Christmas and a nice little sum was raised from this for Far East
ern relief.
Good reading for our young people has been encouraged by the club and a committee
appointed for this work.
Under the supervision of the child welfare committee, clothes were collected and sent to
eleven school children of our county in order that they might attend school.
It was largely through the interest of our civic committee that the Clean-Up Campaigns
were a success.
The club finds one of its chief joys in entertaining our Confederate soldiers on Memo
rial Day—by the serving of dinner and the arranging of the afternoon’s program.
Seven new members have been added, while three have been lost, among the latter the
lamented Mrs. Wesley Turnipseed.

Health Officers of State
to Hold Institute.
A most interesting and timely oc
casion will be the institute for county
and municipal ( health officers, to be
held in Atlanta at Emory University
school of medicine, during the week of
June 5th. A number of speakers of
considerable prominence are to be
heard.
The institute of these health officers
is an annual affair. Last year it was
held in Augusta in connection with the
school of public health, which had just
opened for students. A large number
is expected this year than attended
even the Augusta institute last year.
Mammoth Organs.
Amongst the largest organs in the
world are the Haarlem instrument,
which possesses sixty stops and 8,000
pipes; the Albert Hall organ, with 125
stops; the organ in St. George’s Hall,
Liverpool, with 110 stops; one at St.
Louis, which boasts 150 stops; and
one In Sydney Town hall with 126
stops.—London Tit-Bits.
Her First Difficulty.
“I’m awfully glad you came In,
mother,’’ said Mrs. Youngbride, who
was trying to do some cooking. “This
recipe says: ‘Take a good-hearted
cabbage.” Now, mother dear, how do
you tell the disposition of a cab
bage?"—Boston Transcript.
NOTED
EDUCATOR DIES
Mrs. Caroline Crawley
Gave Her Life As A Pio
neer for Higher Educa
tion.
The funeral of Mrs. Caroline Craw
ley, of 133 Lee street, pioneer Atlanta
woman and founder of Mrs. Crawley’s
private school, who died Friday at a
private sanitarium, ( was held Saturday
afternoon at the home of Hon. A. O.
Blalock, her nephew, 'at Fayetteville,
Ga„ for several years her home.
Mrs. Crawley, who was seventy-eight
years! old, was the widow of the late
Mr. C. D. Crawley, and had made her
home in Atlanta for about fifty years.
She is survived by her sister, Mrs. M.
A. Blalock of Fayetteville; two nieces;
Mr3. Eva Thornton and Mrs. Maud
Moyers, of Atlanta, and four nephews,
A. O. Blalock, of Fayetteville; A. C.
Blalock, of Jonseboyo; T. P. Zellars,
of Newnan, and G. Z. Blalock, of Jones
boro. Col. Braxton Blalock, private
secretary to Governor Hardwick, is a
grand nephew.
Mrs. Crawley was a pioneer of high
er education, having taught in many
prominent schools and holding prin
cipal’s position in some of the leading
county schools; important among the
leading places she occupied were the
holding of the scattered forfes of the
G. N. I. at Miledgeville, together at
the close of the war, and from ruins,
shaping the great institution into what
all Georgians are proud of today; she
was also at the head of the great Bes
sie Tift College at Forsyth, where the
Baptists of Georgia absorbed the insti
tution. After being at the head of
many other schools, Mrs. Crawley
caught the vision of the great need
of a preparatory school in Atlanta,
where, for many years, she has fitted
scores of boys and girls for the higher
departments of education.
Many philanthropists have bestowed
of their accumulations great gifts to
the state and its people, but no bene
factor ever contributed a more noble
gift than when Caroline Crawley gave
her mental nature to bless humanity.
Mrs. Crawley was a devout Chris-
tain and delighted in teaching the Bi
ble to the societies of her church,
wherever she was identified.
Saddened hearts of relatives and
friends, were those who, having just
heard fitting remarks by the minister
in charge, caught the deep sympathetic!
meaning of angelic music, and were fol
lowing their friend to her resting place,
where, after the benediction had been
pronounced upon her life, all were of
one accord—this, their friend, who had
given her life for others, had entered
into her rest.
Jewish Physicians Honored.
During a long interval the popes
were attended by Jewish physicians.
In 1385 the Roman senate reduced the
amount of tribute payable by the
Jewish community because medical
men of that race had refused to charge
poor people for their services. Pope
Boniface IX, gave a certificate or
diploma to the Jewish physician Ellas
Sabbas and later addressed a docu
ment of the same scope—a sort of
letter of recommendation—to Angelo
di Manuele.

CASTING.
Editor.
Wars are not over yet. Until hu
manity sprouts wings we will continue
to fight.
We were unable to remain out of the
last year, and the next one will draw
us in, if it is on a world scale .
For this reason this country should
be maintained in a state of reasonable
and common sense preparedness.
General Pershing preparedness ad
vocates, and the American Legion
wants the regular army to remain at
150,000 enlisted men. Congress wants
to cut it down to 115,000.
If you were called upon to defend
yourself against an enemy armed with
la modern high-powered rifle, how
would you like to depend upon an old-
fashioned blunderbuss?
Why can't we have a “good fellow
ship” week in this town, with every
one making a special effort to be agree
able to everybody else?
It would create a wonderful spirit
of comradeship—would bring the peo
ple together—would heal old sores—
would clear up misunderstandings—
would remove friction—would 'cement
a spirit of community co-operation.
It would do no harm, would not cost
a penny, but would do an endless
amount of good.
Why not?
Much has beei^ said in the daily
press of late regarding the millions
of dollars grafted from the public treas
ury on war contracts.
It has taken a long time to say .it.
The public demand is insistent that
these rich grafters be ferreted out and
properly punished, ;and their stolen
wealth returned to the government.
* It has taken a long time to work
up the demand.
At the past and present rate of speed
they will be convicted when they die
and punished when they get to hell.
Never in history has there been so
much organized crime as is sweeping
over the country today.
Never in history have the brains of
criminal organizations—the higher ups
been so immune from prosecution.
And never in history has the law
of the land come so near to utter col
lapse.
When reputable citizens learn to use
their brains and perform their duty to
society we will overcome this reign
of the devil and his imps.
Until then we must expect to go
from bad to worse.
Congress is stil debating the bonus.
Service men are still waiting.
The people are still indifferent.
The war is over.
This is 1922.
The burdens of life are only heavy
to those who carry them around.
The Life of a Pearl.
“The pearl resembles man in that it
is bom to die. Care for it as you will,
Its life can no more be prolonged in
definitely than ours can, because it
has an organic constitution. If you
tell me that specimens have been
found In the tombs of the ancient
Egyptians. I ask, what became of
them? Those relics of a bygone civ
ilization crumble into dust on expos
ure to the air,”—Exchange.
Man With Homs.
“A native with horns like those of
a springbok, has been brought here
from the Rand,” writes a Johannesburg
correspondent of London Tit-Bits.
“The horns began to develop when he
was nine years- of age, and, despite
frequent cutting, continue to grow.
In every other respect the man is
normal. It is highly probable. In view
of the medical interest in the case,
that he will be sent to Europe.”
Fine Buildings in Buenos Aires.
Although the Teatro Colon. Buenos
Aires’ opera house, is far famed as
the largest in the world, the architec
tural jewel of the city is the magnifi
cent Jockey club, on the Calle Florida,
the Fifth avenue of the southern
metropolis. Its staircase is wide and
pillared, of green marble. The furni
ture of one of the banqueting rooms
was taken over in Its entirety from an
old French chateau. It has a great
fencing hall.

Farm Agents Hired By Butts Kiwanis
Jackson—H. G. Wiley of Colbert,
Ga., Oglethorpe county, has been named
as farm agent in Butts county and will
begin his duties June 1. The county
being barred by the supreme court de
cision from paying the expenses of a
farm agent out of the general tax levy,
the Kiwanis club of Jackson county
raised the money to "pay the salary
of a farm agent for twelve months.
If satisfactory results are obtained the
work wil be made permanent in Butts
county, regardless of whether the leg
islature passes an enabling act per
mitting counties to pay the salary of
farm agents.
Miner's Cradle.
The cradle is a simple appliance for
treating “pay dirt” earth and gravel
containing gold-dust. It consists es
sentially of a box, mounted on rockers,
and provided with a perforated bot
tom of sheet iron in which the “pay
dirt” is placed. Water is poured on
the dirt, and the rocking motion im
parted to the cradle causes the finer
particles to pass through the perforat
ed bottom on to a canvas screen, and
thence to the base of the cradle, where
the gold-dust accumulates on transverse
bare of wood called “riffles.”

Any one who has watched a moth

naturalists have discovered that If
perches are fixed around the lighthouse
beacon a little below the strongest

are now employed with gratifying suc-
