Weevil Damage, However, Very
Serious in South and Western
Portions of State
ATLANTA, August 16. The
following synopsis of weather and
crop conditions in Georgia for the
week just ended wa sissued Wed
. nesday by the weather bureau of
the U. S. Department of Agricul
ture here:
Exception too-frequent showers
over some dozen central-northern
counties, the. past week, on the
whole, was very favorable in Geor
gia on account of uroderate or near
ly normal temperatures, light rain
fall, and adequate sunshine: Crops
generally improved somewhat, and
farm work made good progress.
Cotton, however, continued to de
teriorate in much of the Southern
division and made poor growth in
the few counties where there was
too much rain, but generally was
reported to have improved mod
erately over much of the state. Its
general condition, however, remains
very poor; shedding is considerable,
and where the boll weevils are most
active blooming is over, and the
weevils are attacking the bolls.
Weevil damage is very serious over
most of Southern and Western
Georgia; less so over Eastern dis
tricts. Picking cotton is now un
der way over much of the South
ern division. Late corn has im
proved considerably and the crop
is forming cars well. Fodder pull
ing is general. The sweet potato
yield seems to be of good quailty.
Curing tobacco js well advanced,
with excellent results. Truck crops
are rather poor and scarce; plant
ing fall gardens continues.

“In which case,” smiled her
brother, nothing on earth
to prevent us going to bed.”
But Monica was not listening.
She was passing her fingers over
the metal surface.
“I fancy that band has some
thing to do with it—the band with
the four little gold studs.”
She held her thumb poised over
the nearest of the four gold knobs.
It hovered for a second-*—a bare
half-inch from the metal,-and then
—a form plunged wildly through
the open window, landed in *
crouching attitude on the bare
boards, and extending a lean arm,
thrust her bodily into a corner.
The bronze jar toppled awkward
ly and rolled to the floor where
the Siamese kitten fell upon it in
a frenzy of delight. Hewitt wrench
ed open the drawer in which his
automatic lay, and Monica, her
eyes wide open with terror, leant
helplessly against the wall, gazing
into the scaPred, swart face of a
Chinaman. The 'intruder’s greasy
coat was torn and weather-stait;-
ed. his feet were swathed in san
dals of plaited straw, and his fea
tures wore an expression that she
did not altogether understand.
“Put them up!” said the Com
missioner coldly, and the celestial
complvint’ r°adilv, bestowed on the
astonished Hewitt a broad, boyish
grin.
“Don’t keen me like this for
long,” camo the familiar, measured
drawl of Chinese Penqington. “Ivo
got Lien-Yin trussed like a chicken
outside, and I’m as hungry as a
hunter!”
The Commissioner tossed his
tveanon back into the drawer in dis
gust.
“Look here old son.’.’ ho com
plained. “What the deuce d’vou
mean by giving us shocks like
this?”
The scarecrow produced a rub
ber pouch and began rolling, him
self a cigaret.
“I’m sorrv if I hurt you, Mrs.
Viney, only I didn’t like to se
you fiddling about with that jar.”
“I wanted to’ see what was in
tide.”
She had recovered from the sur
prise his sudden entry had given
her. Ker cheeks were flushed and
the folds of the kimono at her bos
om rose arid fell in tune with her
quick breathing.
Poninngton l ran bls lower Tn
along the gummed edge of the pa
per and looked across at the Com
missioner.

He flung out the words like a

“The ashes of our deeply-lament
ed friend—Chai-Hung.”
The younger man surveyed him
•pityingly.
“The ashes of fiddlesticks! Chai-
Hung—of all men—starting out on
i a new line—and arranging to be
cremated! Doesn’t sound very prob
' able, does it? And yet I suppose
I even I migh have been deceived

Hewitt passed a clammy hand,
over his forehead.
Suddertlv Monica uttered a ’little
scream a n d pointed wildly to the
floor. The Siamese kitten that had
been playing with the bronze urn
was lying o n its back, kicking spas
modically. IThe movements ceased
abruptly and before “he Commis
sioner could' reach it, the wretch
ed creature was dead. More amaz
ing still, the bronze iar lay onen,
Lits gaping moirth dark and hollow
U.ke a tunnel, displaying no sign
of the remains Hewitt had ex
pected to see.
“Poisoned!’ said' 'the Commis
sioner hoarsley. ' “Poor little
de-’!” ’
“Tt was playing with the gold
stud ” declared the jgirl sorrowful
ly “Mr. Pennington, you don’t
think ?”
“T do! I knew it before I came
I ’n. I’ve be«n hanging around here
: "11 evening, trving to give lien

? Yin?”
The other nodded toward thfc
door.
“Your mans got h im—out there.
D’you want to see him?”
“I want to make. certain he
doesn’t get away.’ *
He fumbled with something in
the drawer again anti made for the
veranda.
Monica looked up at Pennington,
and there were tears in her eyes.
. “I”m heart-broken about Peter,”
she said softly, “but I’m awfully
grateful to you for what you did.”
“My dear Mrs. Viney,” protest
ed Pennington, screwing up his
eyes.
“For the love of heaven, call her
M nica!” bawled the Commission
er over his should<er. He went
out, slamming the dor after him.

salary expenses we were unable
to get in touch with a man to fill
the place at that salary. There
fore, I insisted on Dr. Bond stay
ing awhile for an investigation,
which he agreed to do.
“After a lapse of a month or two,
when he grew tired of waiting for
me to get a man in his place there
was some agitation working under
cover against the work being done
by him. Knowing these facts I
refused to accept his resignation
until we had gotten matters thor
oughly adjusted; that is, to our own
satisfaction and things put on a
basis beyond the criticism of any
one. This having been done lam
at a loss for an excuse and expect
the resignation of Dr. Bond at any
time.
“The county health work under
Dr. Bond s administration has been
most gratifying to the board. Not
until his administration were able
to get the school children of Sum
ter county all examined daring
school months, nor were we able
to get the colored schools examined
like the white. The sanitation such
as the installation of sanitary clos
ets wore far below the standard.
Typhoid feve rran into near a hun
dred cases, but with periodical vac
cinations, educational lectures giv
en through the office, typhoid fev
er has been reduced to a minimum,
duo largely to vaccination.
“Many corrections of defects
have been made among school chil
dren. Quite a few cases were un
able to make their grades owing
to defects, have been corrected and
they are progressing with other
children of their grades. Certain
ly Sumter county has got value re
ceived from each do'Jar spent in
public health work since Dr. Bond’s
administration.
“Dr. Bond has proven to
quiet, unassuming, a good mixer,
well liked by the children of our
schools and has received a mpst
hearty co-operation, which will live
for good after he hah gone into
other fields. Should Dr. Bond re
sign before a budget is made
through the county commissioners
for furthering this work we hope
to take care of the office until his
successor can be appointed which
will necessarily follow more appro
propriations being made by the

county commissioners in September.
“We find the work of health
commissioner under the Ellis health
law to be a grown man’s job and
in order to io any extensive anti
malarial work, we will have to
provide a field sanitary man. These
things we hope to consider through
the board of health and take such
action as to better sanitary condi
tions of Sumter county, with espe
cial attention to anti-malarial
work.”
Dr. Chambliss’ statement indi
cates that the resignation of Dr.
Bond, expected now any day, will
open the way for a thorough re-’
organization of the health depart
ment here, with the employment of
a real malarial expert in charge,
and an intensive campaign directed
toward the elimination of mosqui
toes began immediateyl without
waiting for the beginning of the
breeding season next summer.
The board of health, which is
composed of Dr. Chambliss, chair
man; Neil A. Ray of the board of
county commisisoners, and E. W.
Dupree, bounty school commission
er, probably will meet immediately
following receipt of Dr. Bond's
resignation, when steps will be tak
en to secure his successor and re
organize the department along mod
ern scientific lines, probably with
an assistant to the head of the de
partment, and later, if funds for
this purpose can be secured, a vis
iting nurse. Dr. Chambliss, in his
talk this morning indicated he pro
posed to consult with a number of
interested persons before making
anj recommendation to the board
as to a successor for Dr. Bond <„•
the adoption of a program of work,
and that the three civic clubs here
as well as the Chamber of Com
merce would be asked to assist in
framing a program, as well as aid
in selecting a proper mm to suc
ceed Dr. Bond, it being his purpose
to give full publicity, he said, to
every move made, in orde? that
the public be kept informed, con- i
cerning the plans of the board of '
health.
