Mr. Callacott states that about fifty men will be employed in the work while it is in progress, all of the ordinary labor being secured in this vicinity, the expert workmen, of course, being brought here from other points. | It is estimated that the work will , be entirely completed inside of four 'months: “In three months, if nothing Entries comes up to hinder the work,” said .iMr. Callacott Ma* 1 Main street will be finished and then Love avenue will be taken in CAPITOL KILLS DISTRICTS IS OUT OF RACE TO FIGHT WEEVIL IN TIFT FIELDS WATER TOWER BEING ERECTED Bill to Give South Georgia Equal Representation IN SENATE LOST ON LAST DAY For Senator from the Sixth Geor gia District. ngaie today gave out the following avenue «... « t candidates who have qualified band, and the . intersecting streets T the state committee to enter the 1 *' 11 be paved in turn, the work pro- 4 primary election on September Svessing to the best advantage pos- fo which will be added in ten s ' ble traffic facilities.

Brown, treasurer, W. J. Eakes MEETING CALLED OFF. Determination of Atlanta that South Georgia Shall Hava no More Votee Cuts Off Move. Atlanta, Aug. 16.—Members of the house and senate from territory below a line drawn across the state at the bottom of Fulton county are up in arms today as they never have been before. With them are a good many members of the senate from that territory above the line. The open declaration is made that today’s action on the part of the sen ate in killing the bill providing for the creation of five new senatorial districts, after it had been clearly understood the bill would pass, is n straight challenge to the people of the lower part of the state, and that those people are now ready to take up the battle and fight it to n finish. The bill for the creation of thq pro posed new districts, which would equalize the state representation gen erally, leaving only four districts in the state with four counties each, two in North and two in South Georgia, was passed by the house and sent to the senate where it was understood it would go through almost without question. When it came to a vote today, however, twenty senators voted for It and eleven against it. Eleven sena tors were absent or did not vote. New Districts Proposed. The bill proposed the creation of new districts by the following changes: Forty-fifth District—Pierce, Wayne and Bacon. Forty-sixth—Irwin, Ben Hill and Telfair. Forty-seventh—Crisp, Turner and Tift. Forty-eighth—Clarke, Oconee and Barrow. Forty-ninth—Bulloch, Candler and Evans. The discussion of this situation led to reference to the position which Evans county has been compelled to occupy since its creation. Few peo ple in the state know it, but that county hns never had any representa tion. Provision was not made when the county was created, and, though a bill was passed by the house to give Evans its representation, the senate didn’t act as promptly as difi the house, and the county has had to de pend on the kindness of neigbors for its needs in the legislative hall. This point, too,' has been n sore one with Mr. Hutchinson Retires Voluntarily, and Against the Wishes of Many of Friends. Formal Announcement From Wednesday’s Daily. Of unusual interest is the news carried to the people of Tift county today that Mr, J. H. Hutchinson is out of the Senatorial race. This in terest is because Mr. Hutchinson is so popular und well known, and be. cause the contest wns regarded as the closest the county has seen for n number of years. His retirement leaves Dr. Hen dricks unopposed, and ns the entries closed Tuesday night under the rules of the State Democratic Committee, he will represent the Sixth District for the next two years, unless the constitutional amendment creating the fiev new Senatorial Districts is ratified; in that event he will repre sent the Forty-Seventh, being that district’s first Senator. Mr. Hutchinson tells the story of his retirement from the race very well, in his own words: To My Friends and Voters of Tift County: Of my own accord ond against the wishes of friends, I decline to further participate In the Senatorial race of th- Sixth Senatorial District for elec tion to be held Sept. 12th, 1918, Thanking the very, very many warm friends for all their strong assurances of their support and words of kind ness in my behalf. And thanking the people and vo. torn in general of Tift county for all of their support and kindness other wise shqwn since I first entered poli tics in this good County of ours (Tift.) Very gratefully and respectfully, I am, J. H. Hutchinson. Tifton, Ga., Aug.’ 14th, 1916. Farm Demonstrator Empowered to go Ahead Right Away.

Mrs. Jim Hooks was quite sick Tuesday and Wednesday of last week make a bale. He said that the peo ple here would realize the’ truth about the ravages of this pest be fore they were out of Tift county. He said that something should be done now to try to stop the spread as much a3 possible, before those al ready in the fields had migrated into other fields. Tarm Demonstrator Watson said that the.matter that confronted the people of Tift county at the present time was not what to do next year, or to discuss the boll weevil in general, but to decide what to do with the patches that were actually infested right at this timo. Before the discus sion of his subject closed, Mr. Wat son said that if he were given a man that would work carefully and do as he was told he could handle the pres ent situation the best it could • be handled thia year, and it was finally voted to give Mr. Watson a man of this kind and he was instructed to go to work this (Monday) morning. During the meeting Mr. Luther Williams told of the condition of wee vil infested fields he had visited in other states, and pointed out that in Louisianu land hud depreciated 50 per cent in Vnlue nnd that the crop one year while the weevil was with them had been cut 90 per cent. He said that the only solution of the present situation in Tift was to tak« the course Mr. Wutson had been In structed to take, hut that the farm er* might just as well make up their mind that they were going to have to contend with the weevil for the next five yenra or so und that the best thing to do was to cut the acreage two-third* nnd plant the remaining one-third in the middle of the farm. He said the only real way to handle the weevil was to attack his digestion by feeding him corn, cattle, peanut and pigs, that the weevil could not stand that sort of rutions. Before the meeting closed. Prof. S. L. Lewis, principal of the Second Distirct Agricultural School, stated that the school would furnish four boys to go with Mr. Watson the first day and help in getting the weevils out of the fields. Mr. Watson said that if this were done he would get rid of all the infected squares from three to five acres that day, and would be able to instruct the man that was to help him throughout th season. Several other men volunteered ser vice* for the first day, among them: B. E. Hall, W. S. Cobb, W. C. Payn-*, S. N. Adams. M. Tucker, J. L. Taylor, J. H. Hutchinson, J. N. Jons* T. A.
