CITY EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
,‘MEETS TOMORROW AFTER
(f NOON TO FIX DATE FOR CITY
PRIMARY.
The city executive committce will
hold a meeting tomorrow afternoon
and at that time will fix o ‘date for
/the municipal primary at which a may
‘or and three membeis of lhe'éity coun
cil will be named. Much interest is
beginning to manifest itseif in the
coming primary.
J. V. Dunlap is chairman of the
committee. T. M. Coker, Rome Shep
pard, G. B. Wilkes and F. L. Barthol
omew are the. oither members.
The candidates will negin “bobbing”
up after the committee fixes the date‘
for the primary. There will be sev
eral for council. As (o the mayor’s!
office, there is “nothing doin” at the
present.
Mayor Jones stated Monday that
while he had been requested by a num
ber of his friends to pe a candidate
to succeed himself as mayor of the
city, he had made no definite an
nouncement, for the reason that he
{did not know when the city executive
committee would meet for the purpose
of naming a date for the city primary'
election.
5 “T do not believe in a long drawn
out campaign. . It is unnecessary and
burdens the people with the pros and
cons, when every candidate and hig
qualifications are weli xnown from the
start,” said Mayor Jones. |,
“Heretofore we have held our city
nr.imary election during the first. of
November, aggthe general election is
hel(ll, as the charter provides, in De
cember ahd the nev:y elected mayor
and aq]d('é'gxg'en go into office aftm:~ the
second Wednesday in December. I
judge that the committee will meet
and name a date for the primary elec
tion some time shortly, then each can
didate can put forward through the
papers his' announcement ‘and name
such issues as he would like for the
people to weigh him upon.” ‘

| A RICE MILL NEEDED.
! A. E. Reid, a live farmer residing
|n‘.\'n miles out of town on the Seville
road. comes in with one and one-half
acres in rice this season. Farm Dem
onstrator J. A. Johnsen is something
‘over five feet tall and this rice field
tipped his hat at the hrim all over.
The rice stalks will average five feet,
and the head is unusually heavy. The
hyield will he fine.
The development of rice culture
will prove no small thing, so says this
farmer, if the planters will get into
their low lands and try it.
The home-grown rice is s;_lid to be a
much bhetter :’.n':i(-ln than that bought
from imported stock. Those whe
grow rice want arrangements made
for cleaning it at home. A mill is con
sidered urgent.
The I M. Powell Milling ‘company
Jpromiged a vice mili last year if the
f:'.rn‘mrs‘v'would’ plant enough to assure
business and the farmers of the coun
ty are now: urged to try planting
lenough for their home use. i
Mr. Reid bas an abnudant supply |
“or his home consumptien and will
have a considerable amount to sell. Tt ‘
will be a fine quality and ought to be
worth a good price. l

JAN WHO SPENT THREE YEARS
l IN WEEVIL TERRITORY SAYS
| CRISP COUNTY WILL HAVE
| GOOD COTTON AGAIN. AND
; AGAIN.
| st
| M. 8. Presley, a prominent and suc
! ful Crisp county farmer residing
l orily of Williford and near Seville,
l pent ithree years as a cotton grower
1 the infested districts of Texas. He
lv miled at the suggestion that cotton
| rowers will have to lul-:ekh vacation
] ince the weevil has found his way
ito Crisp county. There will be cot
| nd good cotton, too, right on in CricH
' unty, if his prediction comes true,
| Mr. Preslev advises the farmer to
’ lant ™ early, widen the rows, work
wst, fertilize hLeaviiyz and make the
usiness of cotton growing a success
1-spite of the pest.
The weevil works the last week of
une and the first weeks of July. This
llows sixty days to make the crop.
Ir. Presley says handstripping of the
.ate fall blossoms and squares or
wrning in the cattle are two practical
;ays’ of depriving the weevil of for
ze bhefore frost falls. This drives
im away and he is net so numerous
ext season. 1
Mr. Presley advises that there
hiould not be any late field peas on
he place, as the weevil will go into
liese and cut the blossoms as soon
s they are driven from the cotton
‘ ields. He also urges the importance
! i going over the cotton at the first
i ippearance of the weevil to pick up
and burn at least one crop of dead and
infested squares. IHe states that this
so cripples the weevil as to make it
impossible to do such great damage
jefore the remaining younger cotton
holls mature.

Yom Kirpu~ is the tenth day of the
nonth of Wishrl, Tne thought-under
lying the ob:orvance is expressed in
he scriptual words, “On this day he
will atone for you, to purifiy you from
vour sins.” b
The day is the myst solemn of all
lays in the Jewish calendar. It is
rassed in fasting ‘and prayer. The
whole day is spent in the synagogue.
in the evening there is the service
which commences with the chanting of
he well-known ol Nidre prayer. The
day preper has four services. Of these
the Mussaf or additicnal service con-:
tains a description of the atonement
rites as practiced in the ancient days
in the Temple of Jerusalem; *and the
Neilahh service is understood to be
neld at the time when decision is
finally made as to man’s fate, and thus
the Neilah prayers wsiead of having
the usual prese, “Inscribe us in the
book of life,” uses the expression:
“Seal us in the book of life.”
According to Jewish tradition ex
pressed in an ancient law-book, the
Day of Atonement, when spent in
praying and rcpenting, will bring par
den for sing between man and God;
but as for the sins committed by man
against his fellow man the Day can
not hring pardon until he has appeased
his fellow man. This idea is the basis
of the effort always made hefore the
Day of Atonement to bring. peace be
tween sach friends who have become
estranged and are on unfriendly terms
with one another, and in this wav the
day will put the worshippers at peace
not only with his Maker, but alsc with
his fellowman.
