FAMOUS MARCHES TO THE
NATIONAL CAPITOL
Just at this time, when the
‘‘Bonus Boys” are marching to
Washington and tamping under the
slome of the capitol, it might inter
est our readers to know about oth
er famous “marches” to our national
capitol.
In the year 1783 some recruits
from Lancaster, Pa., joined a small
jfroup of soldiers barracked in Phil
adelphia in a march to demand more
pay from the Congress of the Con
federation, sitting in the latter city.
Rather than be intimidated, Con
gress left its capital and moved to
Princeton, N. J. After General
Washington threatened to send
troops to deal with the little army,
it left the capital.
The march of “Coxoy’s Army” in
3874 is remembered by many peo
ple. "Cojcey’s Army,” led by Ja
cob S. Coxey, of Massilon, Ohio,
was the outgrowth of the unemploy
ment situation resulting from the
panic of 1893. Coxey had a relief
proposal, among other things, de-
manding the issuance of non-inter
est-bearing bonds for financing
road-building, and organized a
march of the jobless to Washington
to compel Congress to accept his re
lief plans.
“General” Coxey and one of his
aides, Carl Browne, were arrested
and sent to jail for attempting to
enter the Capitol against orders
and, with the loss of their leader,
the weary army returned home with
out having had an opportunity to
present their plans.
In 1913 Rosalie Jones’ army of
about 200 women marched 225
miles to Washington to request
President-Elect Wilson to sponsor
votes for women. Seven years lat-
0 —women succeeded in
acquiring the right to vote.
Besides the present “bonus”
march, other “marches” which have
attracted attention in the past year
were the “national hunger march
of last December, Father Cox’s
“march of the jobless” in March and
“march ’ of farmers from the grain
tidt to tell Congress their troubles.
Between 15,000 unci 20,000 men,
designated by Father James R. Cox.
of Pittsburgh, as the “Party of the
Unemployed,” hitch-hiked to the
capital, where they paraded in fa
vor of employment relief.
Walter M. Waters, of Portland,
Ore., who organided the “bonus
*rmy,” starting with a small arm of
-3tH), is now in command of approx
imately 15,000.
MON. JOHN N. HOLDER VISITS
CALHOUN COUNTY
Hon. John Holder, former chair
man of the State Highway Com
mission, and at present a candidate
for the high office of governor, was
a distinguished visitor in Arlington
.yesterday, while visiting all points
In Calhoun county. Many of our
people had this first opportunity to
•spp at close hand this man who has
fceen noted for many years in the
high affairs of the State of Georgia,
and judging from the comments
hrard after his departure he made
very favorable impression on
many.
He stated that he was making a
hurried trip at this time, but later
expected to come here again and
make a public speech to the voters.
Mr. Holder is a man i>f fine person
ality and his ability is well known
by all the people of the state. —( al-
Jioun County Times.
Women pay income taxes on for
ty-one per cent of the national tax
able income reported by individuals,
not including the much larger vol-
ume reported on joint returns of
husband and wife. Women are
getting seventy per cent of the es
tates left by men and sixty-four per
cent of the estates left by other
women. Women are beneficiaries
of eighty per cent of the life insur
ance. More than half the stock
holders are women in such great
corporations as the United States
Steel Corporation, the American
Telephone and Telegraph Compnay,
and others. More than ten million
•women are gainfully employed in
-this country. One woman in every
four in New York State now works
for wages.
The Alumni of the old Perry-Rain

a home-coming, all-day celebration
on the campus of the school on the

Whip The 801 l Weevil And
Make A Cotton Crop
To Farmers of Jackson County:
“General 801 l Weevil” has de
clared WAR on the cotton of Jack
son County and already his army
has established quarters in the
smallest as well as the largest cot
ton fields and are very busy. You
know what a good soldier would do
under these circumstances. No, he
would not stand by and say “I can’t
control the little insect” but he
would put his forces at work and
soon have the “801 l Weevil Army” (
within his control. What kind of a j
soldier are YOU? The kind of cot-'
ton crop you harvest this fall will j
tell the history of the battle that is
NOW on. Anybody can be a looser
but it takes a soldier with courage
to be a winner and I am sure that
is the kind you are.
Suggestions Now for 801 l Weevil
Control:
Pick up effected cotton squares
off of ground nnd from cotton plants
each week for next three or four
weeks and this done just ahead of
plowing. Wjth the present price of
labor is not expensive and often
children can attend to this method
of control while adultp cultivate
crops.
Use ouly CALCIUM ARSENATE
as boll weevil poison, either when
using dust or liquid method of poi
son control.
Pre-square poisoning is best and
most economical boll weevil control
metnod nut majority of cotton is too
large now.
801 l Weevil Poison Control Now:
Make three or four applications
of poison, starting AT ONCE, and
at intervals of four to six days. If
rain washes off poison within a few
hours after being applied then re
peat same that day or next. D
Calcium arsenate as dust best ap
plied with regular dusting machine
and use 4 to 6 pounds per acre each
application. Can use thin cotton
sacks and dust by hand in absence
of machine.
Liquid Mixture: On? gallon of
blackstrap molasses, or thick syrup;
one to two gallons water; two lbs.
calcium arsenate. Keep this ,mix
ture aggitated at all times when ap
plying same. Apply liquid poison to
cotton plants with use of rag-mop
attached to end of a stick about
four feet long. Keep plenty of poi
son mixture on mop at all times and
push it against main stem of cot
ton plant at and near tip-bud.
Cultivate cotton ONCE EACH
WEEK very SHALLOW and con
tinue same until late in the season.
801 l Weevil Control Don’ts:
Next year don’t plant land in
cotton that is so poor that an aver
age yey it will not produce more
than one-half bale of cotton per
acre. Put such land in food, feed,
soilbuilding crops, pasture, or timb
er.
Don’t be governed as to your boll
weevil control by the suggestions of
the fellw who does not KNOW.
Don’t use any kind of poison on
cotton to control boll weevils either
as dust or liquid except CALCIUM
ARSENATE. If you do look out
for damage to cotton plants of no
boll weevil control.
Dn’t ever use liquid mixture of
calcium arsenate, syrup or molasses
and water after it has been mixed
longer than 12 to 24 hours. Best
mix and use same day and pour out
at end of day what is left and cover
up with dirt.
Don’t handle Calcium Arsenate in
dust or liquid form carelessly be
cause it is POISON and will KILL
anything that takes it into stomach.
Don’t fail to PICK UP PUNC
TURED SQUARES for next THREE
OR FOUR W’EEKS. Pick up squares
whether you poison or not.
Don’t wait until your cotton fields
are heavily infested with boll wee
vils before you start control meas
ures because it will then cost too
much to get weevils under control
and too it is impossible to make as
much cotton as when weevils are
placed under control early in the
season.
Don’t allow' boll weevils to raise
in yoUr cotton fields and destroy
same and then swarm into your
neighbors field and take part of his
crop. Tint is not a good neighbor
ly act. Tht; weevils that destroy
the cotton crop, however, are in
most cases the ones that have been
allowed to raise in that same field.
Don’t allow a little insignificant
bug to whip you but get busy and
WIN. When you once consider the
after feeling, it is much easier to
be a wanner than a looser.
Don’t put off starting/ boll w'eevil
control measures.
Don’t stop cultivating until late
in season.
Don’t attend one of the following
scheduled meetings unless you are
interested in 801 l Weevil Control:
Attica School House, Thursday, 3
p. m., July 14th.
I Jefferson, County Court House, 3

SAVED THE STATE FROM
A COLOSSAL BOND ISSUE
But for John Holder standing pat
and refusing to be led off when most
of the daily papers in Georgia and
many of the weekly ones, together
with the civic bodies and most of
the politicians, were clamoring for
a big bond issue for highways, the
measure would have gone over.
There was much influence behind
the movement, and the road ma
chine people and those directly in
terested and many others have not
yet forgiven John Holder for his
bold and uncompromising stand, but
many now admit that he was alto
gether right. They realize now' that
if we were laboring under the bur
den of a collossal bond issue during
these times we would be practically
ruined. John Holder has ability
and character, a rugged, honest
man, with much experience along
legislative and executive lines. He
stands out prominently as one of
the foremost Georgians of his day.
He w'ould make a good governor. To
him more than to any one else is
due the defeat of the huge -bond
measure.—Adel News.
NATION’S OLDEST MOTHERS
The General Federation of Wo
men’s Clubs has been making a
search for the oldest mothers of the
nation, and has learned some inter
esting facts. /
For instance, Mrs. Nah-Thle-Tie,
an Apache Indian woman of Law
ton, Okla., at 109 years of age, is
the oldest mother in the United
States. Mrs. Mary Brock, 106, of
Coalburg, Ala., is the second oldest
mother discovered. Another cen
tenarian mother is Mrs. Sylvia Jane
Wilson, 104, born in* Claiborne
County, Tennessee, but now' resid
ing in Puyallup, Wash.
Many women fear the effects of
childbearing on their general health,
but statistics have demonstrated for
many years that mothers have a
better chance of attaining old age
than sivgle women.
Anyhow these old mothers de
serve honoi and consideration for
having passed the century mark. —

THE THREE-CENT POSTAGE
1
Addition of one cent to postage
on letters may not mean much to
those of us whose correspondence
is limited to mailing checks for a
few bills once a month and an oc
casional letter to Aunt Mary, but it
makes a whale of a difference to
business concerns whose correspon
dence runs into big figures.
It meant so much to one Atlanta
corporation whose affairs are con
ducted almost entirely by mail that
it was forced to make a cut in its
payroll—its first salary reduction
throughout the depression. Much
against its desires, it had to pass
this tax on to its employes. It’s
the little fellow who must pay in the
long run.
One newspaper writer says that
business houses, whose postage bills
are considerable, find that at a time
when they need to effect all the
economies they can, that they eli
minate this or that set of letters and
confine their correspondence only to
necessary communications. It is not
at all unreasonable to suppose that
the return to the government will
not be any greater than it was and
possibly that it will be less.
While -a few towns in the state
are boasting of being out of debt,
let us not forget to hand our own
“City Dads” a choice bunch of flow
ers. Butler is not only out of debt,
and has been for a number of years,
but it has the lowest tax rate of
any town in Middle Georgia, as
well’ as a large surplus account
stored away for an emergency. It
is the best electrically lighted town
in the state, its streets are remark
ably well kept and its water sys
tem for domestic purposes cannot
be surpassed.—Butler Herald.

in Ashville, N. C., is at home for the
summer vacation.
W. M. Howard Dies In
■ ( Augusta
W’illiam M. Howard, 75, promi
; nent Augusta attorney and former
I congressman, died at his home in
1 Augusta/ last Tuesday.
Funeral services were held Thurs
■ day at Lexington, Ga., followed by
burial in the family plot.
Mr. Howard represented the
eighth Georgia district in congress
from 1879 to 1911, and was regard
ed as one of the most able and elo
quent members of the house.
He was a native of Berwick City,
St. Mary’s parish, Louisiana. Later
his family moved to Oglethorpe
county, and he receved his hijjh
school education at Martin Instf
tute. He graduated from the Uni
versity of Georgia in 1877, and was
admitted to the bar n 1880 . His
first law practice was at Lexington,
Ga., where he became solicitor-gen
eral of the northern judiciary cir
cuit of Georgia.
In 1883 he married Miss Augusta
C. King, who, with two sons and a
sister, survives. The sons are Henry
G. Howard, of Augusta, and William
K. Howard, of Lexington. The sis
ter is Mrs. Florence Hempstead, of
Mobile, Ala.
Georgia Cotton Crop
Reduced 14 Per Cent
Ahens, Ga.— Estimated cotton
acreage in Georgia on July 1 was
14 per cent lower than that for the
sarr.e date last year, and 23 per cent
smaller than the harvested acreage
in 1930, says the Georgia crop re
porting service.
On July 1, 1932, an estimated
2,969,000 acres w r ere under culti
vation in cotton in Georgia, com
pared with 3,452,000 acres on the
same date last year. Abandonment
after July 1 last season was six
tenths of one per cent.
“All sections of the state show
reduction in acreage from the 1931
crop,” the report says, “although
the decrease is greatest in central
and southern portions of the state.”
The report for the United States
as a whole reported 41,189,000
acres in cultivation to cotton on
July 1, 1931, as compared with 37,-
290,000 acres on July 1, 1932. This
July’s acreage is 90.1 per cent of
that of the previous year, on the
same date.
JOHN N. HOLDER TO SPEAK

John N. Holder will make his
opening campaign speech over WSB
Radio, Saturday night, July 16, 7.45
Eastern Standard Time.
Who can say the miracle work
ers are all dead. John I. Kelley
says if he’s elected Governor (or
did he say WHEN he’s elected?) he
is to end all political factional feuds
in Georgia.—Savannah Press. N
John N. Holder is most certainly
ENTITLED to the Governorship of
Georgia, and we feel SATISFIED
that he will GET it, as in our esti
mation he is by FAR the strongest
man in the field from standpoint of
real ability, while his character is
above reproach.—Lanier County
News.
Jackson county farmers welcom
ed the dry days that followed so
much rain. The cotton crop’s w'orst
enemy is on the rampage this year.
Weather conditions have been ideal
for the boll weevil, with the result
that, the crop is in danger of one of
the heaviest of alT > weevil attacks.
