^Uiches of the river before it rises at a considerable grade
span the main channel of the Danube, about half a mile
|de, at a hlght permitting shipping to pass underneath. Its
estruction would greatly weaken the strategic advantage in
jig quarter of which Rumania has made inadequate use; its
apture by the Teutons would at once menace Bucharest and
fie Rumanian railways and alter the whole situation on that
font greatly to Germany’s advantage. '
Switching their offensive from the Somme region in
ranee—possibly as a counter to the advance of the Teutonic
Hies in the Dobrudja region of Rumania—the French have
hashed the German line north and northeast of Verdun over
front of four and one-third miles, penetrating it along its
itire length, in the center gaining a distance of nearly two

Preceded by a violent bombardment such as marked the
peat attacks and counter-attacks during the days when Ver

vered approximately from the eastern bank of the Meuse
ar Bras eastward to the Damloup battery.

Large Number at the Smoker
Tuesday Night.
PACKING HOUSE ASSURErif
Farmer* Will Show They Want it by
Subscribing The $50,000 of
Stock Atked From Them.
Enthusiasm reigned at the smoker
and "talk-feat” held at the office of
Frank Scarboro Company Tuesday
night, more business men being in
attendance than at any previous
meeting, and their firm statements
that strenuous work would be done
to convince the farmers of the coun
ty that Tifton business men were
back of the proposition to a finish
denoted that if the improvements are
not built it will be because the farm
ers do not want them.
The meeting was called to order
by Chairman Briggs Carson who
stated that the object of the gather
ing was to get closer together and d*
termine if the business people of
Tifton really meant what they said
and wanted the packing house and
the other plants that hung upon its
being determined upon.
Mr. Carson stated that all the
money asked for from the people
of the city but there ,was
lot of work to do and that if the
packing plant was to be a success it
would be necessary that the farmers
showed that they wanted the market
it would create badly enough to take
vital interest in it and that it would
be necessary for some plan to be put
in motion whereby the farmers gen
erally who would serve and be served
by the packing house be seen.
Col. C. W. Fulwood spoke at some
length, going into the history of mar
kets in Tifton beginning with the
time when timber and range cattle
played an important part and coming
up to the all-cotton crop system. He
said that the ail-cotton crop system
was a bad one; and that it would
have to be changed now whether we
wanted to change it or not, because
of the fact that the boll weevil was

That it created markets not only for
cattle, hogs and sheep but for corn,
oats, hay and grain and that these
markets would be the salvation of
the farmer. He did not think there
would be any difficulty in securing

I* the Only Sure Way to Kill the
Boll Weevil.
‘‘Sprays, tation:, feeds and all
kinds of drug remedies arc of no
avail rgainst the bo!l weevil,” aays
Mr. W. D. Cohen, advance agent
for th • Great Dominion Show-
which come to Tifton next week.
“He will fatten on Paris green, and
poisons are just ropetizers. The
only way to kill him is to starve him
to death, or lay him on a log and
-mifth him with a hammer.’’
Mr. Cohen was in the cotton com
press business at Bren hare, Texas,
when the weevil first crossed tho
border from Mexico, and tells graph
ically of the destruction and distress
that followed in its wake. He says
the weevfl is still there after ail
these years, and the only.way cotton
can be raised is to plant early and
cultivate fast, just as farmers are
advised to do here.
‘‘When the weevil first came,” Mr.
Cohen said, “the people tried alt
sorts of schemes and remed'es. They
sprayed, they poisoned, they plowed,
they picked, but the weevd went
right on.
‘‘Boys were paid fifteen cents
hundred for picking them. They
would pick daring the day, and
at night soak the weevils in oil so
they would be soft enough and still
enough to measure in a thimble,
which was supposed to hold one
hundred. They beat anything to get
away you ever saw and the boys
would lose neaily half they picked
before they got them measured.
“I froze one in a b'o-e of ice, and
at the end of a week he thawed out
and was as hungry and lively as
ever.
‘‘Don’t let anybody fool yen into
believing the weevil an ea.y prop
osition; ho is tough and *- tireless
worker.”
