LETTER FROM AUTHOR
OF “THE JESSAMINES"
The News-Gazette recently carried
a short review of the interesting lit
tle book, “The Jessamines,” written
by a former Barnesville woman, Mrs.
C. E. Broyles, a daughter of the late
Captain C. C. Hightower. In re
sponse to that little notice we have
received a letter from Mrs. Broyles,
which, while not intended for publi
cation, we are taking the liberty to
publish, because it will prove of
keenest interest to all the people of
this community:
Ringgold, Ga., Nov. 20, 1922.
Editor News-Gazette: —
1 certainly appreciate the nice no
tice you gave my book, “The Jessa
mines.” Naturally, any thing com
ing from my childhood home would
touch a tender chord in my nature
and while my little story has received
many flattering write-ups none have
affected me as the one given in the
News-Gazette.
I have often wondered during the
year that my book has been in print,
if any of my friends or my parents’
friends at Barnesville would care to
read it. But last summer I received
a letter from my girlhood’s friend,
Mattie Fryer Berry, requesting a
copy and 1 sat down and resorted to
my woman's prerogative of a good
cry, for then I knew I was not en
tirely forgotten. The praise of the
world does not satisfy like the hand
clasp of a friend and I must admit
I sometimes long for that hand clasp.
My mother and father loved
Barnesville as no other place on
earth and for that reason if for no
other, it will always be dear to me.
After my husband’s death, six years
ago, I thought of locating there.
But the World War came on and I
was caught in the whirlpool of war
activities. I traveled over these
mountains and made talks in the in
terest of Liberty Bonds and Red
Cross for months. And finally when
the “flu” broke out in Fort Ogle
thorpe, ten miles away, and our dear
boys were dying like cattle, I volun
teered for a nurse and stood at the
post of duty till I went down with
the disease in its most malignant
form. When 1 recovered the war
was over and I was too listless to
make an effort to get away.
But I have splendid friends here
and Ringgold is a beautiful little vil
lage, eighteen miles from Chatta
nooga, Tenn. I spend my winters in
Florida and so I am situated as
pleasantly as 1 would be any where.
My brothers and sisters all live in
Macon and when I get too lonely I
run down in the summer to see them
but it is our custom to meet at our
Indian Spring cottage for our sum
mer vacation.
Yours sincerely,
SALLIE HIGHTOWER BROYLES.

BEATING THE BOLL WEEVIL
There are two ways in which the
boll weevil has been met and defeat
ed. One is to apply scientific meth
ods to the suppression eff the boll
weevil itself, and the other is to turn
to diversification agriculture and not
depend too much upon cotton as a
money crop.
In both of these methods Georgia
has been reasonably successful, and
promises to be even more so in the
future.
South Carolina has not been as
fortunate as some of the other states,
and the Columbia State says:
“There is undue pessimism among
very many farmers of South Carolina
who have just experienced the first
effects of boll weevil attack. They
did not make timely provision against
the coming of the pest, and perhaps
do not realize that losses caused by
the w< evil can be overcome and have
been overcome to large extent in
For Constipated Bowels, Sick Headache,
Sour Stomach, Bilious Liver
The nicest cathartic-laxative in the
world to physic your liver and bow
els when you have Dizzy Headache,
Colds, Biliousness, Indigestion, or
Upset, Acid Stomach is candy-like
“Cascarets.” One or two tonight
will empty your bowels completely
other cotton-growing states where
the shock of the first weevil attack
was experienced years ago. In those
states where intelligence and energy
have been erereised the farmers have
‘come back’ and come back strong.
“That intelligence has been dis
played along different lines—one,
and the most general, is a change in
methods and more energetic work for
counteracting the weevils’ ravages;
and the other is diversification—
growing other things and raising
more farm supplies; and cattle, pigs
and poultry for market. The latter
plan has been, perhaps, more signal
ly illustrated in Cogee county, Ala
bama, where other lines were found
so profitable that cotton-growing was
abandoned. The people of that
county recently unveiled a monument
to the boll weevil in the town of En
terprise. They are making more on
their peanut crop than they did out
of cotton in prosperous years.
“The boll weevil had completely
overrun Mississippi by 1913. The
cotton ginned in Mississippi up to
November 1, 1917, was 500,000
bales; in South Carolina at the same
date 784,000 bales. On November
1, 1921, Mississippi had ginned 642,-
000 bales and Sbuth Carolina 623,-
000. On November 1, 1922, Missis
sippi had ginned 839,000 bales and
South Carolina 413,000. Mississippi
has met the issue and recovered.
“Alabama, on November 1, 1917,
showed 305,000 bales ginned—two
and a half times less than in South
Carolina on the same date. In 1921
the Alabama gins had recorded 513,-
000 ginned on November 1 or 110,-
OQO less than in South Carolina. On
November 1, 1922, there had been
ginned in Alabama 700,000 bales, or
nearly 300,000 more bales than in
South Carolina.
“Alabama is coming back and com
ing back strong.
“There is no miracle about it.
They have recovered from the first
shock, quit expecting miracles to save
them from the weevil, and have gone
to work with intelligent energy to
help themselves.”
