A REPUTABLE CORDELE MER
CHANT ADVERTISES SOMETHING
IN THIS ISSUE WORTH WHILE—
GO FOR HIM.
VOLUME VII.
LOCAL DEMOSTATION AGENT
SEAYE POTATO RAISERS SHOULD
NOT ' GIVE UP—BUG EASILY
WHIPPED.
The Colorado beetle (the potate
bug) is vrebably the best known cf
all the pota-eating insects. It scenis
to have becen a native of Colorado.
henecc its name. It began its eastward
march before 1860. In 1882 it reached
Nova Scotia, and has been a pest over
the whele eastern portion of the coun
try ever since. That it will ever dis
appear hardly seems rprobable, altho
it varies in number greatly in different
sections at difierent times. It flies
readily in bright hot weather, but the
distance it can cover in this manner
does not seem to be known. j
A few persons state that they be
lieve the bug came from something
attached to the potato. It is a known
fact that untold numbers of families
deprive themselves of the excellent,
wholesome Irish potato solely on ac
county of their not being able success
fu!ly to exterminate this pest when it
appears. Others fear to use the pois
ons with which it can be controlled.
Be it known that this bug does not
come from an egg or anything else
attached to the potato at the time of
planting. This bectle winters by bury
ing iteelf in the soil, coming out with
the first hot days of spring, and some
times appear in such numbers on a po
tato field, where the plants are just
breakirg ground, that all growth made
for several days is eaten. It is at this
stage of the growth of the plants that
they are hardest to combat, as there
is so little leaf surface that it is prac
tically useless to try to pcison them.
They mate at once and egg laying
commences within a few days if the
weather remains warm, the little pota
to plants frequently having several
hundred eggs on them when two or
three inches high.
If the plants can be covered up with
soil it will spoil these first egg clus
ters, these clusters are yellow and
may be easily discovered on the un
der side of the leaves. The work of
fighting them should not be delayed
until damage is done the plants, as it
will result in a loss of crop that will
amount to many times the cost of the
labor and material needed to rid the
field of them.
Now for the control of the pest: It
is utterly useless to put anything on
the potato cuts with the hope of the
plant taking up and storing enough of
the bad tasting substance to ruin the
appetite of the bug and drive him
away. It is thought, and is practiced
to a small degree by a few, that cov
er'ng the cut with sulphur before plant
ing will keep the bug away. The bee
tle simply did not happen to find these
patches where no damage was done af
ter such treatment.
Bug Dcath is recommended by an
authority, and it is claimed to be en
tirely harmless to stock or human be
ings.
Turis green may be used as a dust
for the beetles. One pound of Paris
¢reen mixed with from 5 to 20 pounds
of air-slacked lime, perhaps best to
mix in proportion so as to give a good
green tinge to the mixture. Flour may
be used in the same propertion, but
2 or 3 pounds of slaked lime should
be added to prevent burning by the
Paris green. Dust this on with an or
dinary flour sack when dew is on the
plants. Apply uniformly and do not
wait too long to repeat the operation.
Paris green may be used also as a
spray in proportions of 1 pound of
Paris green, 3 pounds of lime and 100
gallons of water.
Arsenate of lead may be used in
paste form, & pound to 50 gallons of
water or in dry form, one and one-half
pound to same amount of water.
In mixing either of these insecticides
for the spray makes the powder into a
paste by addin‘g a little water and
mixing before adding to the large quan
tity of water.
If you need help to fight Mr. Beetle,
let our aid be requested. You can
whip the little bug. Don’t miss all the
good, juicy, well flavored, -healthful
appetizing Irish potatoes on account
of just a “little bug.”

WARREN LEAVES
JAIL ON BOND
JUDGE GEORGE ALLOWED BAIL
IN THE SUM OF §7,SOO—BOND TO
BEE MADE TODAY. -
Under an order issued by Judge W.
F'. George today T. W. Warren, since
March 4 held priscner in the Crisp
county jail, charged with murder and
assault with intent to murder in con
rection with the killing of Clifton
Spikes and the shooting of his father,
G. A. Spikes, at Hatley, was granted
bail in the sum of $7,500. Bond for
Warren was signed this afternoon by
citizens of both Crisp and Wilcox
county and he was released from jail.
Citizens of Wilcox county came this
afternocn by train to sign the bond.
Hearing for applacation for bail was
held before Judge George in superior
court here last Saturday. The appli
cation was argued by J. T. Hill, Max
E. Land and O. T. Gower for the de
fense, and Whipple and McKenzie and
Crum & Jones were employed by rel
atives of the Spikes family fer the
prosecution. Solicitor General Wall
was not here to represent the state in
the presecution.
The main peint on which the coun
sel for the defense hinged its argu
ment in favor of bail for Warren was
the grand jury at the last session of
Crisp county court took evidence in
the case charging Warren with mur
der of Clifton Spikes and returned a
no bill.
Judge Gecrge heard testimony from
both sides in considering the applica
tion for bail Saturday.
PENSION MONEY
COMES IN APRII
Soldiers of the Sixtics Must Get Fund
First Week in April.
Ordinary W. P. Fleming is in re
ceipt of a letter from Pension Com
missioner John W. Lindsey to the ef
fect that the funds for Crisp county’s
pensioners will probably be forwarded
during the first weck in April, though
stating that it was not definite that
this would be done because such funds
are not now in the state treasury.
Several of the county’s pensioners
have died during the past year and
few have been added to the list, mak
ing the present number of pensioners
total several short of the number of
last year.
COLQUITT FARMERS
T 0 GROW PEANUTS
OiL MILLS URGE PLANTING OF
LARGE CROP—WILL BUY ALL
THAT FARMER CAN PRODUCE.
Information® coming from Moulirie
is to the effect that farmers of. Col
quitt county have been urged by ihe
oil mill interests to grow peanuts in
large quantities, the ‘arrangements
having been already made to use ail
that can be brought to market.- -
The following is from the Moultrie
Observer:
The farmers of Colquitt county who
want to grow peanuts this yvear need
not be afraid that they cannot sell
them, for Dr. G. F. Taylor, president
and general manager of the Moultrie
oQil & Fertilizer company, has an
nounced that his firm would buy all
offered at the market place. It is
stated that the small or Spanish va
riety will be given precedent and that
they will bring a better price. This
peanut is better suited for oil purposes
and will make fully as much to the
acre as the large ones, which are gen
erally grown in this section of the

DISTRICT HIGH SCHOOL MEET
| PROMISES BIG INTEREST
Plans are fast developing for the
entertainment of the Third District
High school meet in Cordele Friday
and Saturday April 14 and 15 and all
indications point to the most success
ful event of the kind ever held in the
district. The entries in the various
contests will be unusually large, and
the spirit of rivalry and enthusiasm is
strongly manifest. already, while the
attendance of delagates and others
upon the meet will doubtless be
swelled because of Cordele's central
location and its accessibility by rail
road. The record of the Cerdele high
school in capturing most of the hon
ors in the meet last year, and the de
termination to uphold this record is
spurring the local contestants to unus
ual efforts.
The preliminaries in athletics of the
local school have already heen held,
though no definite assignments have
been made as to the parts the several
contestants will take in the eveats.
The preliminary try-out in music and
elocuticn will be held at the school au
ditorium next Friday.night, beginning
at $ o’clock, and the public is invited.

land lies within Crisp county.
The consideration was $22,000.
While Mr. Tomlinson has not given
out any definite statement as to his
plans, it is understood that he will
first turpentine the timber, then saw
mill it, utilizing the remainder of tim
ber left for cross tie purposes. This
is one of the largest and finest bodies
of timber in this section of the state,
including about 800 acres of round
timber. The enterprise will develop
some of the finest farming land in the
entire county. The Armstrong estate
is one of the oldest estates in the coun
ty. Some of the land in this body was
in cultivation during the Civil War and
has been lying out for more than thir
ty years.

COON SONGS AND DANCES AS
PRESENTED BY LOCAL TALENT
WERE FINE.
“The Minstrel Maids” as prescnted
Monday and Tuesday nights at the
Cordele Opera House by Miss Lillian
E. Hall under the auspices of the W.
0. W.,, was a success, a hummer,
bright, and without a dull moment. Cor
dele was never more richly entertain
ed by a locally staged event than that
afforded in - these two performances.
It was given for the benefit of the
Woodmen of the World in their finan
cial campaign for entertaining the
Woodmen convention in July and from
the financial side it was as gratifying
as it was rich in entertainment. Large
audiences greeted the players on both
evenings. f
It was exclusively a maid's minstrel,
not a man appearing on the program.
Thirty-five young ladies and matrons
interpreted the parts, and did it after
fashion that placed the ordinary min
strel in the away back class. They
certainly made merry behind their dis
guise of wooly wigs, burnt cork and
appropriate costumes getting in new
jokes doing de cake walk rattlin’ de
bones beatin’ dat tambo participating
in clever specialties and singing coon
songs that brought plenty of laughter.
But very few of the actors could be
recognized their disguise as “dusky
damsels” was so complete.
Miss Hall as the director of the
event acting in the role of interlocu
.or did well and is deserving of praisc
and thanks from every Woodman and
friends while all who witnessed the
“Minstrel Maids” are indebted to each
member of the caste for one of the
livest entertainments they have secn
in recent months.
