BE NOT DECEIVED
Mr. J. C. Maness, of the State
Board of Entomology, was in the city
this week, and said, “Friends, be
not deceived, even bv the boll weevil.
It is not dead, nor seriously affected
by the cold weather. It takes zero
-weather, and lots of it, to kill the
weevil, and this zero weather must
reach the weevil in its snug bed. The
only safe and sane thing to do, is
to prepare for a real fight, with hard
*ork and calcium arsenate proper
ly used.”
Do You Attend Sunday
School?
How many people are there in
Jefferson who do not attend Sunday
school, and yet have no excuse for
absenting themselves from this im
portant branch of church services?
Nearly a million young people and
adults are students of one of the !
Sunday schools in Georgia, accord
ing to R. D. Webb, secretary of the
Georgia State Sunday School Asso-1
ciation, and this fact is one of which
the State should be as proud as it is j
of the natural wealth, and other
much advertised advantages.
The first Sunday school in the world j
was founded in Savannah, Georgia, i
by John Wesley. Now there are over
thirty million Sunday school students j
throughout the world, of which there
are in Georgia nearly a million. Geor
gia is maintaining her leadership in
i he teligious education of her young
people.
Let's not overlook the fact that
the Sunday schools of Georgia are as
important as her factories. There is
nothing more important than the re
-1 gious instruction of our young peo
ple, and Giorgia is not overlooking
this fact.
Take your children to Sunday
school on r.ext Sunday, and not only
encourage those who are giving their
time and talents toward* making it a
success, but you will be benefited.

j THE COTTON CROP
The last report giving the amount
of cotton ginned prior to January
first, shown that Carroll county is
leading the State with 22,537 bales.
The counties north of Macon coming
nearest to Carroll are Franklin, 12,-
| (172 bales; Jackson, 1 1,285 bales;
I Hart, 11,204 bait s. All other North
Georgia counties fell below 10,000
| bales. Seven South Georgia counties
ginned a few more bales than Jack
son, but most of these counties have
a much greater area. If Jackson
county farmers will cultivate the;
1924 crop with a determination to:
produce a maximum amount of cot !
ton on every acre planted, Jackson:
will lead the State this year in the!
production of cotton.
It will not pay to plant too great |
an acreage, as it takes work to keep 1
ahead of the boll weevil, but with a
reasonable acreage, rapid cultivation,
plenty of fertilizer and poison, Jack
son county can take the lead.
Best Suggestions For 801 l
Weevil Control
The Hibernia Bank & Trust Cos. of
New Orleans has offered SSOO, to be
divided into five prizes for the five
best papers on “Best Suggestions for
801 l Weevil Control."
Conscious of the tremendous de

confident that the ingenuity of the
people of America sooner or later
will devise some plan for controlling
this pest, the bank authorities have
decided to encourage constructive
thought on the subject by offering
substantial prizes for the best sugges
tions leading to the solution of this
vital problem, so if you have an idea,
get busy, write a paper not exceed
ing one thousand words in length,
copy it on a type writer anil send it
to the above named bank. The cor.
test ends March 15th.
In determining the value of the
papers the judges will take into con

adaptability of the measures discus
sed, as %vell as the simplicity of the
manner in which the subject is pre
sented. „

given out for publication the analy
sis of the different water supply sta
tions in Georgia, and Jefferson is
placed among those having given ex
cellent co-operation, the water being
safe for drinking, several monthly

twelve have a “doubtful water sup

“dangerous water supply;” forty-nine
gave “no co-operation.”

water board should be commended
or their vigilant attention towards
keeping Jefferson’s water supply in
excellent condition.

State Law Is Valid Judge
Rules
The 10 per cent tax on retail sales
of cigars and cigarettes was declared
constitutional in a decision rendered
Wednesday afternoon by Judge
George L. Bell, in Fulton superior
court. The judge denied the peti
tion for an injunction, restraining
enforcement of the new tax act, as
sought by a group of Atlanta deal
ers.
The judge’s decision automatically
dissolved the temporary restraining
order which has held up enforcement
of the act for more than two weeks
and attorneys for the tobacco deal
ers immediately sought to have the
judge grant a hupersedeas, pending
an appeal to the Georgia supreme
court, v
HOW TO MAKE YOUR
ADVERTISEMENTS PAY
Few merchants really have the
proper appreciation of what adver- 1
tising means 10 them. A writer in an
exchange aptly pats it in this way:
If a man spoke to his wife only
once a month or every two months,
she wouldn’t even recognize his voice,
says an exchange. Yet some business
men advertise once a month or every
two months and then wonder why
they don’t get more business. Ad
vertise every week. Remember “the
used key is always bright.” The
store that tells the public what it is
doing every day is the store that gets
there in the end.
Grave Robbery Case
Sentence Is Upheld
By Appellate Court
Atlanta.—The twelve months
chaingang sentence imposed upon
Sam Ware, negro undertaker, on a
charge of stealing coffins from an At
lanta graveyard and re-selling them,:
was affirmed by the Georgia court of;
appeals Wednesday.
The defense of Ware was that a
coffin, after it is buried, belongs to :
no one, becomes a part of the realty,
and so would not be an object of
larceny.
l “Conceding (but not deciding) that
a coffin, when placed in a grave and
covered up, becomes a part of the
realty, it is equally true that it be
comes personalty when it is removed
from the grave and becomes the
propety of a living person,” the court
cf appeals ruled.
The higher court also overruled
the point raised by Ware’s attorney
that there is a substantial difference
between a coffin and a casket.
Ware first was tried on a felony
charge and given a maximum sen
tence of ten years in prison, but the
supreme court granted him anew
trial on the ground that there is no
law' in Georgia specifically making
it a crime to steal coffins. He then
was tried on a simple larceny charge,
and given a twelve months sentence
for a misdemeanor. Similar senten
ces were imposed upon two grave
diggers, who w T orked for Ware.

Peach Exchange
Takes Insurance
On Georgia Crop
Macon, Ga., January 15.—Officials
of the Georgia Peach Growers’ ex
change, at the conclusion cf a meet
ing of the board of directors today,
announced that the 1924 peach crop
of members of the exchange has been
insured against all hazards.
One of the greatest insurance com
panies in the world is said to have
issued the policy to the exchange,
which in turn will issue cetificates
to members, based on the number of
trees of each member.
“The policy does not provide for
profit,” said General Manager J. G.
Carlisle, “but covers the cost of pro
duction and delivery'to market.”
There are more than 12,000,000
bearing peach trees in Georgia. More
than half of the unsold peaches are
in the exchange, it is declared.
14 HART COUNTY
BOYS MAKE OVER
\ SB,OOO IN 1923
Hartwell, Ga.—Fourteen boys in
the Vocational Agricultural Class at
the Reed Creek Consolidated School
during 1923, produced $8,644.34
worth of cotton, corn and Laredo
soybeans.
Of this amount cotton from 58 3-4
acres represented $8,144.34. More
than forty bales were produced on
58 acres representing all grades of
land in the community. Many of
the boys produced a bale or more
per acre.
A careful survey of the records on
these projects show that it took on
the average per acre only
'man labor; 42.2 hours horse labor;
! $2.3!) worth of poison; $9.85 worth of
; fertilizer, and labor $12.11 per acre.
The total cost per acre was only
$39.92 which represents all cash ex
| penditures, mule and man labor, rent
and taxes on land and all other costs,
while the returns per acre amounted
to $138.74, leaving a net profit above
all expenses of $98.82 per acre. Thus
on the average every pupil made
$107.00 per acre as his labor income
on that acre or an average of more
than SI.OO per hour for every hour
worked in his cotton crop.
On next Sunday evening at 6.30
the Christian Endeavor of the Pres
byterian church will present “Keep
ers of the Light.” All invited to
come.
