South Georgia s Friend
There is a big move on in Georg
ia to secure more new counties, and
one of the large Atlanta dailies has
jumped on the movement with both
feet, intimating that only South
Georgia will be benefitted by the
move, and that good roads are suf
ficient to put they people living a
long way from the court in suttic
! ient touch with the county seat.
| The milk in thecocoanut is that
j this paper is afraid that South Geor
gia will have more political impor
tance if these new counties are cre
ated. The Injustice in South Geor
gia in refusing to create them does
not disturb their delicate nerves at
all.
The Macon Telegraph comes out
squarely in favor of more new coun
ties. This is just what we would
expect of Col. Pendleton. He is
always ready to do the fair and
square thing by South Georgia, and
we want to appeal to South Georgi
ans to see that more Telegraphs
come to our section.
It is generally known in South
Georgia that Atlanta papers are un
fair, or at least neglectful to us even
in newsservice, while die Telegraph
makes it her strong point to give
South Georgia the best that is go
ing.
\Ye do not urge anyone to adopt
the boycot —let the Aalanta papers
also come, but lot us make a special J
point to speak a good word for |
South Georgia’s friend, The Macon j
Tleegraph —Cordele Rambler.

Is the 801 l Weevil
Already in Georgia?
A Strange Bug Thought to Be a
801 l Weevil Is Found in
Monroe Covnfy.
Is the Mexican boll weevil in
Georgia?
J. J- O’Neal, of Crawford county,
thinks it is.
Col. \\ . a. Huff, of Macon, is of
the same opinion.
Rich Evans, a negro tenant far
mer near Moran’s, says lie is sure
lie found one on his cotton in Mon
roe county Monday, and several
Macon men, who yesterday saw the
insect sealed in a bottle, said it
looked a powerful lot like a lioll
weevil, as they remembered having
seen specimens of the “crittur.”
If Prof. E. L. Worsham says so,
then the dread pest is in Georgia.
Monday afternoon, while a negro
named Rich Evans, who rents from
S. F. Bazernore, in Monroe county,
was walking through his cotton, lie
noticed a hug on it. It was a dark
brown Img with two feelers in front,
three, legs on each side, a lighter
shade underneath, and a solid sort
of body.
Now this black takes several farm
journals and he also gets: the litera
ture from the State College of Agri
culture. He picked the stranger
qjff and hurried to the house He
laid him on a piece of white paper
and compared him with the picture
of one lie had in a magazine. He
says it tallied perfectly. By this
time he was scared proper and he
took it to Mr. O’Neal. Mr. O’Neal
thought it looked just like a boll
weevil. He has seen them.
Mr, O’Neal found that this same
negro had bought two bushels of
seed from outside the state last
winter. Ha didn’t remember
whether it came from South Caro
lina, Alabama, Mississippi, or Tex
as, or where. He knew it wasn’t
(Georgia seed.
So Mr. O’Neal brought it to The
Telegraph for he figures that The
Telegraph is the most “down on
the weevil” institution extant. The
Telegraph thought it looked like the
weevil. It was shown to Col. Huff.
Col Huff says he is tolerably famiP
iar with the weevil and that the
specimen in the bottle did look like
it.
There was only one thing to do —
send it to State Entomologist Wor
sham, so to State Entomologist
Worsham the creature went last
night.
However, the specimen seemed
just a little large and a little dark
for the weevil. There were some
who seemed to think it might be
the pod weevil, which created such
a scare in Crisp county a little time
ago. Here it is—Macon
Telegraph.
