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 05. Preceded by a violent bombardment such as marked the peat attacks and counter-attacks during the days when Ver in was the focal point in world interest, the offensive was de* vered approximately from the eastern bank of the Meuse ar Bras eastward to the Damloup battery. When night fell, the vollage and fort of Douamont, in the snter, were in the hands of the French, while on their left Jig the Frenchmen had pushed beyond Thiaumont and cap- ired the Haudremont quarry, and taken up positions along Bras-Douamont road: On-their right wing considerable rogress also had been made from Douamont to Damloups ire than 3,600 prisoners and quantities of war material r captured by the French.

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 FOR SALE are asleep , at the post of opportu- to plant out peach orchards, tree* at a very reasonable price nurseries in the South.

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.” Twins, Water Circus, Coney Island Side Show, Monkey Speedway, Doc Turner’s Wonders, The Submarine, Rag Time n lage, The Whip, Farris Wheel and Carousal.
