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. - The President will he kept in his room for a long time as he is vet a very sick man.

O 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.
