Relentless War Declared On
801 l Weevil, With Calcium
Arsenate As Weapon
ORGANIZED EVERYWHERE
Terrell, Calhoun, Decatur and
Dougherty Counties All
in Fight
DAWSON, May 21.—Terrell
county farmers are making plans
for a fight to the finish with the
boll weevil this year. A large quan
tity of the prepared poison has been
bought throughout the county while
many farmers are buying the cal
cium arsenate and syrup and mak
ing their own poison. Dusting ma
chines of all .kinds have been pur
chased and also various types of
weevil catchers.
The farmers are planning to ap
ply the liquid poison direct to fche
bud of the plant while it is small
and the weevil few. Later when the
cotton is larger and the weevil more
numerous, the squares will be
picked up and the cotton dusted as
often as possible and continuously
until the crop is made.
In 1922 Terrell county made
over twenty thousand bales of cot
ton and with favorable weather con
ditions, the farmers believe that
they can duplicate this crop this
year through high fertilization,
rapid cultivation and thorough pois
oning.
CALHOUN FARMERS
ENLIST IN FIGHT
ARLINGTON. May 21.—Seventy
five per cent of the farmers in this
section will use calcium arsenate
to combat the boll weevil durmg
1924, according to an estimate by
several close observers of farming
conditions in this section.
At this early time in the season
the prospects for a good crop this
year are fine, as practically every
farmer has a good stand of cotton.
POISONING
ALREADY IN DECATUR
BAINBRIDGE, May 21.—Farm
ers are after the boll weevil in De
catur county this year in earnest.
They have put in plenty of calcium
arsenate and are buying dusting
machines with which properly to
apply the poison. They are using
a side dressing of nitrate of soda
and County Agent D. E. Sawyer is
getting up signs painted black with
white lettering on the demonstration
crops of cotton on the public roads.
RELENTLESS WAR
IN DAUGHERTY
ALBANY, May 21.—Traveling
men of the Albany territory declar
ed relentless war on the boll weevil
in South Georgia this year, at a
meeting in the directors’ room of
the Albany Chamber of Commerce
held in compliance with a call issued
by the officers of the Chamber.
The meeting, which was attended
by twenty-five traveling men from
firms oparating in the Albany terri
tory, directors of the Chamber,
County Agent J. Irwin Davis, and
Secretary-Manager Niel, was en
thusiastic, and the traveling men
promised thei r cooperation in the
campaign which is being conducted
t 0 “lick the boll weevil this year.”
The German super-gun that
pounded Paris during the war is
credited with a range of 75 miles,
as compared with the 22-mile maxi
mum range of American 14-inch
naval guns.
Fat men don’t stand the heat bet

WEAK AND NERVOUS
Georgia Lady Says She Has
Grown Stronger by Taking
Cardui Thoroughly Con
vinced of Its Merits.
Clyattville, Ga.—ln a statement
which she gave at her home on R. F.
D. 1, here, Mrs. T. A. Copeland said:
“I have, I believe, avoided a good
deal of suffering by the use of Cardui,
and am thoroughly convinced that it
has been of great benefit to me.
“Before the birth of two of my
children, 1 grew so weak and nervous
I could hardly go, and suffered . . .
I had a friend who told me of Cardui,
so the next time when I grew sc weak
and run-down I began to use it. I
used it three months. I grew- stronger
and less nervous. The baby was
stronger and a better baby, and I
really believe it was because I built
up my strength with this splendid
tonic.”
Cardui has been in successful use
for more than forty years. Thousands
of women have written to tell of the
beneficial results obtained by taking
Cardui, and to recommend it to others.
It is a mild, harmless, purely vege
table medicinal preparation—a prod
uct of practical experience, scientific
investigation and pharmaceutical skill.

SIDELIGHTS ON SHIEK ' *
Interesting sidelights on real
feheiks are supplied by Wanda Haw
ley, who recently returned to Hol
lywood after spending six months
in Egypt, and who will be seen here
at the Rylander Theater on Thurs
day and Friday in “The Man from
Brodney’s,” a Vitagraph spec'al
production based upon the famous
novel of the same name by George
Barr McCutcheon.
Upon her return to this country,
Miss Hawley expressed her delisrht
in getting away from the ‘sheiks’
who have become standard-bearers
in literature and drama of today.
Miss Hawley takes exception to
the general conception of what a
sheik really is. She reports that
the spelling of sheik is wrong. In
Egypt the spelling is “sheykb.”
Even the .pronunciation is wrong,
according to the actress. It is pro
nounced “shake.”

no white woman will have anything
