INDIANS SUFFER UNDER GUARDIANS (Continued From Page One.) and that the guardian charged ex pense of this suit against Allie’s estate. That guardians anxious to se cure Irdian estates keep “birthday books” to apprise them of the date minors become of age and subject to state court supervision over their property. That it co t SI6OO to administer the SSOOO estate of another Indian. That a guardian charged a b’H against an estate of $2700 for gas oline consumed during three months’ time and when questioned about it charged the bill Off to a loan. That administrators charged 5.82 per cent of the total income from an estate for their services. That guardians took $24,620, or 30.55 per cent of the total income of another estate for their employ ment. Hundreds of such specific cases are alleged by the Indian Service of Oklahoma as reason why the guardian system should be abolished and the ,Indians restored to federal control over their property as well as their persons. Results of a probe conducted by the federal government in Creek county, Oklahoma, showed that in 1895 cases either j.o reports had been filed by the guardians for In dians or else the reports required by law, showing how the estate is managed, were missing from the files. The probe is also declared to have disclosed: That in 543 cases representing It dian guardinships in the same coun ty, out of 2770 investigated, the to tal receipts amounted to $3,832,- 094.90, and that the expense of ad ministering these estates (the only ones for which complete reports were available) amounted to $480.- 434.33. This made the cost average 12.79 per cent of the receipts. That the cost of administering white estates as judged from typi cal cases in the same court averag ed 4.89 per cent of the receipts. On the other hand, white guar dians for the Indians vigorously deny all charges made against them by government officials a..d say they earn every penny paid for services rendered in looking after the prop erty interests of their wards. One guardian put it this way: “A white man having an Indian under his care is bothered almost to death by the Indian who really prefers a guardian because through a guardian- he can get more money out of his estate from the govern ment. “Indians having guardians come into the guardian’s office and com plain about toothaches a’ id all sorts of things. Some of them even de mand that the guardian act as es cort for the Indian’s family and ac company them to the theater.” LOWNDES TAX BOOKS WILL BE CLOSED MAY 1 VALDOSTA, April 26.—Time for making state aid county tax re turns is growing short. The books in the office of the tax receiver will close on May Ist, after which time the books will be delivered to the tax board. The number of individ uals making returns up to this date is not as large as usual, and this leaves a considerable amount ,of property yet to be placed on the books.

THE AMERICUS TIMES-RECORDER NowiDorothy Is Wife No. 4 < V ... r: NECPOES IKED T 8 POISON COTTIJN (Continued From Page One) cotton plants closely and let noth ing interefere with their being properly poisoned. The first appli cation of calcium arsenate should be made 5 days before the first squares appear on the plants. This ‘poisons the weevil's plate,’ as Dr. DeLoach expressed the idea. Then repeat th e poison application every five days thereafter until four ap plications have been used. The second application should be made when the first squares appear. The third 5 days later and the fourth still 5 days later. . Then all the squares that have fallen off the plants should all be carefuly pick ed up and burned. If farmers will do this, no additional poisoning should be needed throughout the season, and they should make nor mal crops, provided they get nor mal season and work their crops as usual. “But poisoning is the most im portant of any operation in the entire program of cotton farming under boll wevil conditions, Noth in,g should be permitted to inter fere with regular and thorough poi soning, especially early in the sea son. Thre e to five pounds of cal cium arsenat e to the acre should be sufficient, and this keeps the cost well within reason. “And just one other thing I’d like to say is this: Negroes farm a considerable number of acres in Sumter county. The yield of these farms is essential to the prosr perity of the whole community. To the negro this yield is most vital. The more cotton bales negro farm ers unload at Americus warehouses this fall, the more dollars th e ne gro race as a whole will hav e to spend with Americus tradespeople. I want to impress these negro farmers especialy with th e neces sity for poisoning early and thor oughly. I wish that their race lead ers would take up this problem of impressing negroes with the neces sity of increasing their earning ca pacity through the production of more cotton. “801 l weevil control is now past the experimental stage; calcium arsenate, it has been demonstrated beyond all doubt, will kill the wee vils whenever and wherever it is properly applied. Let’s all get to gether on this proposition of poi soning; apply the poison early and thoroughly, and this fall Sumter county will experience a prosperity unknown here during recent years.” Arthur Hammerstein, impres ario, has just entered upon his fourth matimonial venture. His latest bride is Dorothy Dalton, movie actress. The picture was taken in Chicago on their wed ding day. Hamerstein gave his age as 51 and Dorothy said she was 30. Miss Dalton is the di vorced wife of Lew Cody, screen cowboy.

Thomasville on Sunday, probably; will be about as cpiiet a town as exists anywhere in Georgia. The grard jury which has just adjourn ed went on record, as insisting that home steps be taken by police and county officers to prevent the sale of ar-ything on Sundays except for “necessity or charity.” This is one of the most interesting state ments made by a grand jury in sometime and will bring forcibly to/ the front the matter of Sunday regulations, sometimes called “blue laws.” The matter is squarely pre sented for action.
