THE OLD HEPOES OF THE SIXTIES FAVOR THE LEAGUE OF
NATIONS.
The confederate veterans at their reunion in Atlanta last week ask
that the <ieriiian treaty with the league of nations be ratified now
wit hout 1 < sen at iotls.
The old heroes know the horrors of war and believe there ought to
lie some kind of ’.,<•! i"( y, sonn kind of a paet or league of nations
that would he able to harmonize differences and prevent another
great calamity like the one through which we'liave recently passed.
These brave old veterans who went through the struggle of the six
ties will all soon be on the other side of the river where peace forever
reigns. They do not wish for their children’s children to ever have
to engage in human slaughter, and they have done a brave, a manly
and righteous act by declaring they believe in a league of nations
and opposed to further wars.
They do not wish to wait for a perfect league, recognizing the fact
that perfection can never be reached in human affairs, but they want
a start made that in the end may be so amended, if necessary, :ts to
meet the conditions that may arise in the years to come and prevent a
conflict more horrible and dovostating than toe world can now imagine
The action of these old warriors, who are the very personification
of what it takes to make real American citizens, is a noble example
for all of us. and especially those of us who oppose the league of na
tions. not understanding the moaning and purposes of the league,
having no remedies to prescribe to take the place of it that we may
prevent further conflicts.
A MILLIONAIRE IN SHORT ORDER.
After October 1 fitii. there will be a tax of one or two dollars, ac
cording to sex, on every dog in Alabama, and they must go about tag
ged or not go at all.
It is claimed there arc 4.000,000 dogs in that state, and if a tax is
paid on all of them it will be a snug little sum of money.
It is further claimed that the hide of a dog is worth from .$! to $2
in the niarket.
\ow ii sonic ainbilnuts fellow, who craves to be a millionair, would
take the contract to kill tor the hides all of the two or three million
dogs that will have to pay this penalty as tax defaulters, he could be
numbered among the financial nabobs of the country in short order.
This would heat running for office, and centainly would give one a
dog-gone more reputation.
I he limes suggests that it might he wise for some of our prospee
ti\o office seekers in Georgia to seriously consider tins dog skinning
business ox or in Alabama and save themselves from the regrets of
lost opportunities.

FIRST BOLL WEEVIL IN GEORGIA WAS BLOWN 80 MILES BY
STORM.
I lie man who discovered the first boll weevil in Georgia is living in
Athens. During the summer of 1915 A. ( Welch, associate editor of
the Extension News o:t the State College of Agriculture was working
near Thomasville, Ca., with an expert from the F. S. Bureau of Ento
mology. Welch and the entomologist were searching for insects that
had been troubling the cotton near Thomasville and had several little
negro boys looking for the pests.
Late in the afternoon one of the little negroes brought some insects
to Welchh and along with them was a real live boll wee.vil. the first
that had been discovered in Georgia up to that day. The boll weevil
had landed on the outside of the box where the other insects were
and had remained tLore until discovered by Welch.
I low did he know it was a boil weevil? That’s easy. The expert
from the Dereau of Entomology had with him the best private collec
tion of insects owned by any man in the state at thhat time. As soon
a> the little “devil” was spied by Welch lie took it to the expert and
sure enough it was a weevil. They immediately wired Atlanta and the
news was withheld for a while, but later when they were discovered
in other sections of the state it couldn’t be kept a secret.
The weevils found near Tfioimtsvillo by Welch had been blown
about 80 miles in a Gulf storm and Had landed in the cotton patch
'vl-prc Welch and his friend were wnr*>ir*sr.—Athens Daily Herald.
