_ HERE OCTOBER 24
STATE ENTOMOLIGIST WORSHAM
_AND OTHER EXPERTS WILL
’(GIVE DAY TO FARMERS AND
BUSINESS MEN OF CRISP.
The boll weevil and how to grow co'-
ton under boll weevil conditions will
be the chief topics of discussion by ex
perts at a meeting for farmers and
business men at the Crisp county
ceurt house Tuesday, October 24, be
ginning at 10 a. m.
The entire day will be given by
these experts to serving the farmers
and others who may be intercsted in
learning how to cope with the boll
weevil. Not only will the experts lec
ture and ‘illustrate {rom the platform,
but they will go to the fields with the
farmers where the pest actually ex
‘jsts and explain its habits and the
best methods of fighting it.
F'. Lee Worsham, state entomologist.
will be among the experts and will be
among the principal speakers' to ad
dress the farmers. A representative
of Mr. Worsham was in the city Mon
day to arrange for the meeting and tc
bring notice of it through the news:
fluners and otherwise to the farmers
and business men of the c¢ity and coun
LY,
“If the farmers of this county could
make a trip through Clay, Miller, Cal-
Ififin, Early and other counties in the
boll weevil infested section, they
would certainly know the advantage
of preparing for the invasion of the
pest and waging a continuous fight
against it,” said Mr. Worsham’s rep
resentatives. “There are farmers in the
counties I have named that have not
secured one-fourth of an average crop
of cottrn, ¢imply because they did not
believe thet the boll weevil was com
ing, or that it would do much damage
after it came. Together with other
methods of fighting the weevil, the
farmers must revolutionize things in
the way of planting. They must plant
as early as possible and use an early
maturing variety.” -
Cé)NVENTiON IN MACON WORKED
SMOOTHLY AND STEADILY—
SOUTH GEORGIANS WIN JUDG
SHIPS. ;
fiacon, Sept. 27.—Moving with clock
like precision, never recording a naye
vote until the convention had proceed
ed well into the regular order ot bus
iness, the state democratic convention
yesterday unanimously declared Hugh
M. Dorsey, of Atlanta, the nominee of
the demcratic party; endrsed the na
tinal administration; selected Roscoe
Luke, Walter F.‘George and W. Frank
Jenkins for the three new places on
%he court of appeals bench; and se
lected the statehouse officers elected
by popular vote "in the primary of
September 12.
An overwhelming majority of the
Dorsey faction facilitated the business
of the convention and prevented what
would have been—if votes had been
distributed in a slightly different way
" —a long, tedious session. The court
of appeals race was the only one in
which any real “politicking” was done,
aRI in that race the Dorsey slate, as
made at noon yesterday, was carried
ithrough.
Harri’ Name Withdrawn.
)y Dorsey’s name was placed before the
donvention by Harry Hodson, of Ath
ens, a life-long friend and collegemate
of the governor-elect. John T. Boi
feullet, heading the Sixth congression
al district delegation, and represent
ing the Harris delegates in the conven
tion, was on his feet as soon as the
nomination was put, and in a ‘speech
lauding - Gov. Harris for the accom
plishments of his administration, he
conceded the defeat of his candidate
and moved to make the election unar
. jmous. Mr. Boifeuillet’s suggestion
was met with a thunder of applause
and an ovation followed.
Lamenting the fact that Thomas W.
Hardwick and Hoke Smith, senators
from Georgia, - “have not been more
loyal in their support of Woodrow Wil
son,” Hugh Dorsey, governor-elect of
Georgia, yesterday gave his unstinted
and uncual‘fied support to the nation
al adr nis ration and to the demo
cratic rarty’s leader, President Wil
-5%
K Raps Georgia Senators.
) “It must be a source of genuine re
gret to Georgians everywhere,” Dor
se;( said, “that our democratic presi
dent. Woodrow Wilson, in his efforts
to surmount these difficulties, has not
had the benefit of a more cordial and
consistent support from Georgia's rep
resentatives in the upper house of the
federal congress.”
THE CORDELE DISPATCH
BE; GASOLINE IS 23
7
MAY BE A SKIDOO NUMBER BUT
#“BUZZ WAGON OWNERS ARE
NCT FEELING CREEPY ABOUT
THAT—MAY FALL SOME MORE
owners of “buzz wagons” have scor
ed again! Gasoline is 23 cents per
gallon! Thinkerthat! And what joy
to anticipate, the price of cotton still
has an upward tendency, and the nnm
ber of “jitneys” is getting too numer
ous to mention. Even ihe man of or
dinary financial means can now take
a spin about and not feel that he is
sutting a strain on his bank account.
The price for which gas is now selling
at local filling stations may be a “ski
doo”’ number but auto owners will feel
no superstition or scruples about that.
They accept the one-cent drop with
good grace, thank you, and hope that
the price will take some more drops.
From the headquarters of the powers
that be, where that i=, came the edict
Monday morning that the price of gas
cline should come off ancther cent.
This affected the large cities and Tues
day local filling stations hed out the
23c¢ sign.
There are rumors afloat that anoth
er decline will follow wefore many
weeks.

FOILS HOLD-LP
CRISP FARMER GAVE ROBBERS
STREAK OF FLAMES FROM GUN
MUZZLE TO LIGHT THEIR WAY.
When two unknown negroes at
tempted to hold him up and rob him
on the public highway near his home,
Saturday night, Andy Lewis, a son of
Sol Lewis, who lives on Route G, gave
the would-be highwaymen a warm re
ception. Young Lewis was going
home in a two-horse wagon loaded
with food supplies and feed stuff, and
the two negroes accosted him when
passing through a dense swamp. They
commanded him to “nands up,” but
the young man’s nerve did not fail him.
When ,his two hands went up they
brought a repeater Marvin rifle into
action, and the two negroes were put
to hasty flight. It is thought that one
of the negroes ‘was struck by a bul
let. Lewis emptied the magazine, fir
ing sixteen shots.
From best information that the
voung man and his father have gath
ered, the negroes came from near
Warwick. :

haustive coroner’s inguest of a mysti
fying and sensational series of oir
cumstances which excited public feel

SEED SELECTION .
FOR BOLL WEEVIL
EXPERTS GIVE INFORMATION.
THAT EARLY VARIETIES GIVE
BREST SATISFACTION WHERE
WEEVIL EXISTS. d
The best methods ‘of fighting Mr.
801 l Weevil and the best variety of
cotten seed to use under boll weevil
conditions are principal topics of in
terest and discussion in Crisp county.
J. A. Johnson, farm demonstration
agent of Crisp county, has written to
officials in other states to obtain au
thoritative information on'the best va
rieties of seed to use under bholl wee
vil conditions.
Mr. Johnson has gained consider
able information from this source that
will be of value to the farmers, and
he is ready to furnish any advice or
assistance that he possibly can.
Two of the experts written to by
Mr. Johnson reply as follows:
Auburn, Ala., Sept, 18, 1916
“Mr. J. A. Johnson, Cordele, Ga.
“Dear Sir:—ln reply to yuiir recent
letter, 1 would say that we do not feel
that the experience of the Alabama
tarmers is yet sufficient to definitely
determine that there is any one bhest
variety of cotton for boll weevil con
ditions. As a rule, the largest crops
s 0 far under our bholl weevil conditions
pave beoen made from the early varie
ties such as King, Simpkins, Broad
well, Bank Account and Trice. How
ever, some seem to be succeeding with
some of the large bholl varieties, as

“l think that for sections where
there is much cotton wilt, no widely
known variety has given bhetter sat
isfaction than the Covington-Toole
wilt resistant. Yours very truly,
J. F. DUGGAN,
Directer Alabama Cooperative Exten
sion Work.”
“September 20, 1916.
“Mr. J. A. Johnson, Cordele, Ga.
“My Dear Sir:—ln reply to your lei
ter will say that we are sending you
under separate cover our last year’s
cotton bulletin, which has the name
and address of parties from whom we
ordered seed. Under boll weevil con
ditions in this state we found Wana

Moultrie, Sept. 26.—Three stalks of
sorghum cane that tower 15 feet in

ROSH HASHANAH
“DAY OF MEMORIAL” COMES OF!
THURSDAY AND SERVICES WILI
BE HELD AT W. 0. W. HALL
FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHI
THROUGH FRIDAY.
The Jewish population of Cordel
and a number of visiting Jews from
surrounding towns will on Wednesday
evening begin the observance of Rosh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, alsc
called Yom Hazikoron, translatec
meaning the “Day of Memorial.” Thc
day of Rosh Hashanah is the first day
of the month of Tishri, or falls each
year after 365 moons following the
New Year previous. Among the more
orthodox it is the custom 10 observe
a second day in connection with prac
tically all of the more important Jew
ish holidays and festivals. This cus
tom on their part grew out of certail
complex conditions in the caiendatior
of early rabbinical times. The incom
ing New Year is 5677.
Rosh Hashanah comes on Thursday
this year, though the services for the
oceasion among the local observants
will begin on Wednesday evening anc
continue through Friday. Services
will be held at the W. O. W. hall on
Wall street at 7:30 p. m. Wednesday
and Thursday and at 8 a. m. Friday.
These services will be conducted by
Mr. George Miller in the absence of a
Rabbi.
Solemn services characterize the ob
servance of Rosh Hashanah. It is a
time dedicated to retrospection, in
trospection and resolutions for the fu
ture. The day bears the special des
ignation of Jam-la-Din, or a Day of
Judgment. The familiar greeting in
terchanged by Jews on Rosh Hash
anah is, “leshonah tovah ti-kesevu,”
meaning “may you be inscribed for a
zood year.”
An important feature of the ritual
of Rosh Hashanah is the blowing of
the shofar, or ram’s horn. In ancient
days the sounding of this instrument
was associated with times of national
crisis and other solemn occasions.
There are various fanciful explana
tions of the connection of the shofar
with the celebration of Rosh IHash
anah. IMach of its dominant notes
likewise has been given symbolic sig
nificance. As the tones of the shofar
are of a peculiarly piercing quality
the sounding of the shofar may be re
garded as a clarion-call to the con
science to strive for higher life in the
new year. The prominence accorded
to the ceremony of the sounding of
the shofar during the services of Rosh
Hashanah known as the yom ha-te
ruah, “the day of the sounding of the
shofar.”
The Day of Atonement, another
Jewish holiday, falls on Oct. 7.
GREENSBORO HAS “DRY” SUNDAY
Greensboro, Sept. 26.—When the

eral Sunday and it is ary as the Sa
