Mrs. Tim Kirkland is still sick,
but better than last week.
A g< o 1 many Broxtonites were
in tqw’i Tuesday and Fletcher, too.
School opened last Tuesday and
the town is full of pretty girls and
handsome boys.
Some more new houses are going
to be built, and the town will grow
if it had a chance.
Bros. Whitely and Glynn, of
Waycross, are expected at the
camp grounds to-day.
Assistant Cashier Shelton, is be
hind the desk at the Bank, again,
after a few days rest abroad.
You may meet some old friends
and hear a good sermon or two out
at the Spring to-day and to-morrow.

The school children, the pops,
and the dems have had the town
this week. We have tried to keep
cpiiet and sing low all the time.
Dr. Ricketson, of Broxton, was
in town this week. He reports
good crops, plenty to eat and few
cases of fever, hut nothing serious.
Tim Kirkland pulls the throttle
on an Air Line engine now. lie
is a good engineer and the company
has done well in securing his
services.
Real estate owners are contin
uing the town from grow
ing by their exhorbitant figures.
Wonder if they hold such prices on
it when they give it for taxation r
Mr. W. O. Paxson, who lef
here some days ago, on business
connected with a patent car-coup
ler, lias been sick in Atlanta nearly
all the time. He is expected home
every day.
It is what we “keep out of the
paper,” and not what is sent in
“to fill it up” that makes the
Breeze readable. Something of
importance is solicited—something
to fill up is not.
The man or woman who neglects
to send their their children to
school, with the present advan
tages afforded them in Douglas,
prefers ignorance and crime to ed
ucation and morality.
When the cemetery is fenced,
which will he soon, lots can he
squared, cleaned off' and flowers
planted. Then we will put up a
nice tombstone over the baby’s
grave, if you say so.

The Breeze is pleased to learn
that a contract has been made with
reliable parties for fencing the
Douglas cemetery, and the work
will be pushed forward at an early

Went Cvtrtc Fitzeerald.
Mr. N. E. Dry and his right
hand man, Mr. G. F. Williams
went over to Fitzgerald last Sun
day, and on their return reports
that the “city among the pines”
is moving forward with a “hop,
skip and a jump.” New houses
are going up, churches are being
moved around and every body ami
his wife are talking about cotton
factories. The hoys didn’t forget
to tell us that the girls are getting
prettier, their eyes brighter and
and their cheeks rosier than ever.
A Good Woman Dead.
Mrs. A. M. Brett, of this place,
went down to Waresboro last Sun
day for the purpose of being with
her daughter, Mrs. Ella L. Wilson,
who was reported to be very ill,
hut she found that the death
messenger had reached her first, the
daughter having died on Saturday
night at 8 o’clock, leaving three
small children and a husband to
mourn her demise. She was buried
at Anthony church Sunday after
noon. We had the pleasure of
knowing Mrs. Wilson personally,
and we do not remember to have
ever known u sweeter, gentler dis
position, or a truer Christian spir
ited than was hers. She was a
devoted Christian, a loving wife and
an effectionate mother. Mrs. Wil
son was thirty-two years of age,
was one of a pair of twins, and
had been a member of the Metho
dist church ever since she was
eight years of age.
Shade Trees-The Carolina Poplar.
Mr. J. T. Brown, of Waycross,
is here soliciting orders for shade
trees. We have seen a cut of the
tree he handles, which is very pret
ty. Mr. Brown also has in his
possession cjuitea number of letters
from the best people of the many
towns he set out trees for, recom
mending him and his trees to the
people of other towns in need of
shade trees. If every property
owner in Douglas would have tree;
planted along tiieij street fronts,
this would give ns a continuous
shade on all our streets, and no one
would be out much. Nothing we
could do would add more to the
looks and comfort of our streets
and homes. Why should we defer
this much-needed improvement any
longer? Let everybody place their
order for the trees they need with
Mr. Brown and give us a uniform
shade on all our streets and we will
soon have the prettiest little town
in Georgia. Mr. Brown plants
out his trees and frames them up
for protection and guarantees them
to live. What more could we ask?
The Populist Party.
According to a call published in
this paper last week, the populists
held a meeting at the court house
last Monday, for the purpose of
perfecting some definite plans of
action for the coming campaign.
After some discussion it was agreed
by a majority vote that a meeting
would he held to-day, September
jst, to nominate a full county tick
et, from coroner up. Who will he
on this ticket the Breeze is certainly
not able to determine, hut it feels
safe in saying the best men in thg
-party will he put forth, and a big
effort made to elect them. The
Breeze w'as surprised at this action
of its populist friends, for it had
entertained an idea that harmony
would prevail, and that a hitter
contest all the way would he avoid
ed, hut it seems to have been mis
taken. Full particulars of Satur
day’s meeting will he given, as
well as the ticket nominated, in
our next issue, if we can procure
the same, The proceedings of
both parlies will be given in this
paper as we have endeavored, with
out any compromise, to give the
news full and complete, and shall

KEROSENE OIL TREATMENT
Pest Is Gradually Recovering Krom the
Shock of the Application—How
and When to Administer.
Department of Entomology,
Atlanta, Ga., July, 1900.
(By \V. M. Scott,State Entomologist.)
Tub Sax Josk Scale.—This post is
uow gradually recovering from the
shock it received by the treatment to
“Stand Oil cock-tails,” which flowed so
freely through the infested orchards last
winter, in spite of the high price of this
oily urticle. The continuous rains of the
past month, however, have greatly re
tarded the multiplications of tho San
Jose scale and millions of the little crea
tures have been brought forth into ex
istence only to be quickly washed from
the trees and drowned. Moan while the
mothers, apparently realizing the peril
of their newly born young have decreas
ed their daily quota of new lives and re
linquished for a space their claim to the
most prolific animals in existence. The
estimate of 3,21(5,0M),400 insects us the
annual descendants from one individual
female will fall far short this season,
thanks to the rains; "it is an ill wind
that blows good to no one.” But unfor
tunately those rains have come at ii
season when the fruit crop is at its vul
nerable point, and rot among the peaches,
induced ’ey the damp weather, is doing
considerable damage.
Now that the fruit crop is being rap
idly removed from tho trees, it behoove*
every man who owns premises infested
with the San Jose scale to prepare for ii
Bummer treatment. As soou as the fruit
crop is gathered infested trees should he
sprayed with 10 per cent, kerosene in
mechanical mixture with water. Of the
two kerosene pumps now on the market,
one made by the Denting Cos., Salem,
Ohio, the other by the Goulds Mfg. Cos.,
Seneca Falls, N. Y., the latter is more
reliable uud the writer recommends it in
preference to the former.
Particular care should lie taken in the
use of kerosene as a summer wash, a*
there is always more or less danger of
injury to the trees sprayed. Not over
10 per cent, should he used and the leave*
should not he left dripping. In our ex
periments with this remedy it was noted
that, notwithstanding great cure, some
of tho peach leaves were scorched
around the margins and when particles
of kerosene lodged on a leaf it burnt lit
tle “shot-holes” through it; hut this
slight injury did not result in permanent
dumage to the trees, Every part of the
body and limbs should be thoroughly
moistened with tho spray hut no attempt
should bo made to drench the loaves,
for the reason referred to above. It i?
true thut the scale occurs in groat num
bers on the leaves as well as the hark of
the tree, but they cannot he satisfac
torily destroyed by giving the foliage
thorough sprayiug without doing con
siderable damage. Furthermore, when
the leaves shed in the fall, und die, the
scale insects infesting them will like
wise perish.
This summer treatment is by no
means sufficient. It must he followed
in the fall, as Siam as the foliage is shed,
by an application of 20 per cent, kero
sene. The fall or winter treatment can
be applied much more thoroughly than
the summer treatment, as the foliage i,
then out of the way. To obtuiu good
results every portion of the infested trc
must be wet from the ground to the tip*
of the twigs, hut care should be taken
not to allow the kerosene to run down
and collect about the base of the tree.
I last winter a number of trues were kill
ed by such curelessness.
Some growers with infested orchards
have contented themselves with oua
winter spraying, and have, the write!
will admit, succeeded in holding the pest
in check fairly well; hut to thoroughly
control it another application of tho 21
per cent, kerosene is necessary. Thi>
spraying can be made with perhaps tin
greatest effect in the spring just before
the trees come into bloom.
These aim ual sprayings make thu treat
ment somewhat expensive ; hut, in the
opinion of the writer, it is more expen
sive in the end to neglect one of them,
when tlie loss by the ravages of the scale
is considered.
In connection with the use of kerosene
upon fruit trees the following empuru
tives should be impressed upon the op
erator:
Never use over 10 per cent, kerosen*
in summer nor over 20 percent, in wiu
ter for spraying peach or plum trees.
Never allow the kerosoutl to ruu down j
the trunk of the tree aifltatollect about j
the collar.
Never spray on a damp day hut select:
fair weather for the work.
Be sure that your pump is always dis- !
charging the desired jcrcentageof kero- 1
sene.
Never spray when the trees are in j
bloom.
Crude petuolilm non the Sax Joss
scale.—Last spring the writer exp-rtf
mented quite extqpsively with the use
of crude petruliuui as a remedy for tht
scale, using about three barrels of the
suostance. The applications were made
in March before the trees bloomed.
Different percentages of the crude oil
were used, from the puro substance
down to 20 jier cent, in water, applied
with the regular kerosene sprayers.
Only peach and plum trees wero used in
the experiments. Without giving de
tails of the work it Is sufficient to say
that the pure crude petrolium killed the
trees while 50 per cent. and,less appar
eutly did no damage, and 25 per cent,
proved to bo sufficient to destroy the
scale iusects wherever they were reach
ed by tho spray.
The sprayed trees remained oily foi
six weeks after the application was made
and it is impossible for the iusects to
live with such a coating of grease ovel
them. 1 * TheiUthc quostion arisos, why
not recommend crude petrolium as ii
remedy for tho Sun Jose scale? It was
at first thought a cheap remedy for tho
scale had been found and thqt this pest
could be easily controlled at little ex
pense; but it was later determined that
the price fixed by the Standard Oil 00.
for crude petrolium was about the same
as the price for refined kerosene. It was
then thought that the substance could
be obtaiiud much cheaper at the oil
wells, but the writer has beeu unable so
far to find a well, the out-put of which
is not controlled by tho Standard Oil Cos.
Furthermore, at the recent annual ses
sion of the Association ol Economic En
tomologists held at New York, Dr. E.
P. Felt, State Entomologist of New York
Stute, read a paper giving his experi
ments with the use of crude oil aguinsl
the scale, and tho discussion that follow
ed, in which entomologists '/nun differ
ent sections of tho country took part,
showed conflicting results as to the ef
fect of this substance upon sprayed trees.
In some experiments trees were killed,
while in others no damage was done;
hut no one seemed to doubt tho efficiency
of the crude oil in killing the insects.
Iu view ot these conflicting results and
the high price of the article, the writer
.hesitates to recommend tiie substitution
of crude petrolium for the rottped kero
sene. Tho grower may choose for him
self between the two substances.
The young chicken. Is belter sold
than kept when It will bring 25 cents.
The man who Is always crossing

ment.
Corn ns a forage crop never leaves

It seems a little Inappropriate to call
the sheep the animal with the “golden
hoof” when tho foot rot gets into tho
flock.

A tree which deserves more atteu-|
tlon than It receives Is the basswood
or linden. But few trees excel it us a
shade tree. Its foliage Is ulmust trop
ical In appearance; It Is always clean,
und free from- veruilu; It Is as hardy
as any tree we have, and Its bloom
Is exceedingly fragrant uud a choice
honey producer. It Is not uu eusy

young trees being hard lo Uud In tho
woods, hut when ouee well started It
Is a rapid grower and In every way de

A Boston man uumed Lawson was
dubbed as crazy a year ago for pay

Lord Bacon, who wrote about almost
everything under the sun, In Ills quaint
way made some mistakes, as might he
expected. For instance, iu writing of
the periods of gestation In different
animals, he says that the cow carries
her calf for u period of six months.
One would think that the old fellow
would have known better than this.
A lady friend of ours ordered a
climber for her porch from the agent
of a foreign nursery company and paid
a dollar for it. It came all right uud
lived, hut slic could have gone down by
the fence around the orchard ntrl got
hundreds just like It for nothing, for It
was only a common Virginia creeper
sold to her under its botanical name.
It Is safe to suy that a Wealthy applo
tree M ill produce for 20 years after It
begins to bear an average of one barrel
of choice apples each year. This fruit
will seldom sell for less than $1 on the
tree, and If placed in eohl storuge und
marketed In the spring will more often
bring $3. One hundred trees will grow
on one acre. In what manner could :t
small farm be more profitably used
than to plant a Wealthy orchard?
Figure It out and sec.
We nre asked by a farmer whut
right the' government lias (o send a

its own rights in such case and. asking;
no odds of any citizen, pnqioses to
