GOVERNOR IS NOW
READY FOR ATTORNEYS
Slaton Has Finished Reading
McNaugßton Case Facts
Atlanta, Ga.. Sept. 16. —Governor
Slaton has completed a careful an!
painstaking reading of the court re
cord and all the facts affidavits, etc,
connected with the Dr. W. J. Mc-
Naughton case.
He stated this morning that he is
quite ready now to receive the attor
news interested in the case and to hear
their arguments and pleas. He wrote
the lawyers on both sides to this effect
this morning and expects to receive
notice within a day or so as to when
a hearing before him is desired.
Governor Slaton received a telegram
last night signed J. F. Price and oth
ers, from Swainsboro, stating that
they wished to be heard on the case
before it was decided. There was noth
ing to indicate whether Mr. Price and
the others would favor or oppose a
pardon.
It seems probable that the hearing
will take place the latter part of this
week, although this is not at all cer
tain. Governor Slaton is probable
anxious to dispose of the famous case
once and for all, just as soon as he
can do so.

WENT TO LOUISIANA '
TO SEE SITUATION
Georgia Party Tells of Wee
vil Invasion
Athens, Ga., Sept. 16.—The Georgia
boll weevil scouts who have been
meeting his worst in Louisiana and
Mississippi and studying its habits an<
how the best fight is to be waged hav*
returned.
Prof. J. Phil Campbell, who w f as in
charge of the expedition, arrived her.*
yesterday. He stated that the trip
was profitable and the dissemination
of the information gained by the agents
among the farmers they believe will
aid very materially in meeting the
weevil when it reaches Georgia i:i
numbers great enough to do damage
The best information, it is stated,
w-as obtained in Louisiana, where the
conditions are not dissimilar to those
of south Georgia. They found, in
Franklin parish especially, that the
weevil was being as successfully
fought as it is possible to fight it. As
a consequence of a united and en
ergetic fight, on the part of all the
farmers of the parish, the cotton will
average from three-fourths to a baie
to an acre. The farmers in that terri
tory claim that they are able to make
about three-fourths of a crop by hard
fighting of weevils r and that if they
did not fight the weevil they would
make no cotton at all.
One parish that was visited previ
ously grew 60,000 bales of cotton, but
when the weevil got in its work, th-'
bales dropped to only 800. Now that
the farmers have learned how to fight
the weevil they have gone back to rais
ing about 12,000 bales of ’cotton.
All the methods which have ..been
used were thoroughly studied in the
field, and questions were asked of the
farmers.
It is stated that the greatest assist
ance and 1 most valuable information
received on the trip was that which
i
was received from L. M. Calhoun, dis
trict agenj in Louisiana, who accom
panied the Georgians throughout the
state. He is a large planter, and no
where did the party see such a good
demonstration of practicing what he
preached as was seen on Mr. Calhoun's
thousand acres of cotton. He will get
near a bale of cotton per acre. Abund
ance of weevils were found in his
field, showing that he undoubtedly
has them and would have been badly
affected, but for his hard fight.
The Georgia party is thoroughly
convinced that the methods recom
mended by the farm demonstration de
partment of the bureau of agriculture
o* the United States are the only
practical methods thus far used.
Several of the demonstration agenti
brought bottles of weevils hack, bu>
they were put into bottles containing
alcohol, and therefore are out of busi
mees.
HUSBAND’S GRIEF IS
TURNED TO GLADNESS
Chicago, Sept. 16. —A woman whom
he saw fall dead in Rochester, N. Y.,
so strongly resembled his wife that
Frederick S. Stewart, a Chicago trav
eling man, identified her as Mrs. Stef
art, arranged for her funeral and re
turned home tonight, only to discover
his wife alive and well
When Stewart went to Rochester e
few days ago his wife notified him
that she would jo» him there.
On the day she was to arrive
Stewart stepped from his hotel to see
a woman fall dead from heart failure.
Every feature resembled his wife’3
and Stewart arranged for her burial
and notified his relatives of Mrs. Stew
art’s death.
Tonight Stewart reached home and
found Mrs. Stewart just ready to start
for Rochester.
WPie dead woman remains unidenti
fied as a result of the curious mistake
made by Stewart.

Montgomery, Ala., Sept. 16.—Com
missioner John H. Wallace, Jr., of
the game and fish department, has re
ceived information that deer are so
plentiful in Tuscaloosa county that
they are preying upon the crops of
that county, and the farmers a n
threatening to kill them. The infor
mation was received in a letter from
E. F. Haraner, of Elrod.
Commissioner Wallace replied that
he was gratified at the increase of
deer and advised that it was against
the law to kill deer before November
1, and that only bucks could be slain
after that date. He stated that he
would reimburse the parties damage!.
Deer have been reported in fifty of the
sixty-seven counties of Alabama, and
the commissioner believes they will
soon be as plentiful as in the days of
the early settlers.
