PREPARING FOR
THE BOLL WEEVIL.
Let us at least hope that the
Ik)11 weevil may place himself
among the expected things which
nevdr happen. If he does not,
he will find when he gets to
Georgia that preparations have
Urn made for him not exactly
the fatted calf, nor a very hearty
hospitality, hut he will find him
self anticipated if not welcomed.
The commissioner of agriculture,
T. G. Hudson, and the state en
tymologist are both on their way
to meet him in Alabama and
learn something of his peculiari
ties. Mr. Worsham, the shite
entymologist, is going to issue a
bulletin on the subject of the
habits and damage-wreaking
ways of the weevil when he re
returns, which will give the
farmers some valuable hints as
to how to treat him. Mr. Wor
sham is convinced that the boll
weevil will be here in a few'
months. This is not encourag
ing, but it should at least con
vince the farmers that it is im
portant to market their present
crop slowly and hold out for as
good a price as they can possibly
secure.
It is to be hoped that during
the few months while th<* farm
ers are awaiting the onward
march of the boll weevil some ef
fective means will be discovered
to protect the cotton. The im
portance of planting quickly ma
turing cotton and of diversifying
the crops has been stressed for
some time in the papers, but it
would bo difficult to warn the
farmers of this necessity too
often, Every possible attention
and caution should be urged, so
that the damage of the boll wee
vil may lie minimized. In addi
tion to the demand for the cot
ton, there is now also the de
mand for tlx 1 seed from the cot
ton oil factories. This is becom
ing every season a more and
more important product.
The work of the agricultural
department of the state has nev
er been more important, and it is
comforting to realize that all that
timely attention, study and sci
ence can do to protect Georgia
from this [test will be done.
After attending the meeting of
the state commissioners of agri
culture in Montgomery, the Hon,
T. G. Hudson and Professor
Worsham w ill go through Louisi
ana, Mississippi and Texas on a
tour of inspection, in which they
will gather all available informa
tion on the subject. The report
of their investigations will be of
untold value to the farmers of
the state. Savannah News.
RELATIVES OF POUNDS
TO PROSECUTE FENNELL,
The relatives of Mr. K. T.
Pounds, who was killed in Sa
vannah two weeks ago by ('has.
H. Fennel, a |R>lioeman in the
Central de|>ot, have employed
counsel to prosecute the case,
and Fennel will lie prosecuted
for murder.
The friends of Mr. Pounds say
that they will be able to prove
by eye wit nesses that the killing
was murder, and was not in self
defense, and that they will use*
all efforts to see that the man
who kilhsl him shall lie punished.
Wrightsvilie Chronicle.
SAME TIRED FEELING.
“Home rule has Ixvn a long
time coming,” said Thomas V.
Brady, secretary of the Irish Km- j
igration Society of New York,
relates the Washington Herald.
“The Englishmen who promised
it to us were a rather tired lot I
when it came to fulfilling their
promises. They were as , tired,
indeed, as Pat Murphy of Bally-1
coolish.
“ ‘Pat,’ said I. don’t you ever
get tired doing nothin?’
’Pat looked up from his pipe!
and noded lazily.
“ ‘lndeed, sor, ’ lu* said. ’I get
so tired doin’ nothin’ that I can’t
do nothin’ else.’ ”
LIKE G. WASHINGTON.
ALBERT COULDN’T LIE.
St. I/iuis. Leon Smith, mar
riage license clerk of East St.
Louis, was in his office when a
young man and a young woman
walked in.
“Want a license?” Smith said
to the young man. But there
was no response.
“I’ll do the talking,” said the
girl, smiling.
Smith regarded the young man
1 with sympathetic eyes and
! sighed. It was too bad. Here
was a deaf mute whose affliction
made it impossible for him to
hear or answer the clerk’s ques
tions.
Instead of questioning the man,
as is the custom, Smith turned to
the young woman:
“My name is Clara Putnam
and his is Albert Somerfeldt,”
she said. We are both from St.
Jacob’s, III.”
Smith told Miss Putnam she
would have to make affidavit as
to Albert’s age.
“Albert is an orphan,” she
said. “To the best of rpy knowl
edge he is twenty-one years old.
liis only relative is a brother,
who is not his guardian. His
father died several weeks ago.
On his deathbed he gave his con
sent to our marriage.”
Albert continued to twirl his
hat and study the carpet. Smith
prepared the necessary affidavit
blanks and was handing them to
Miss Putnam to sign when he
heard a sob. Looking around he
saw that tears were running
down Albert’s cheeks. To his
even greater surprise Albert
stepped forward and said:
“I can’t tell a lie.” He paused
to weep some more and added:
"I’m only twenty years old. I
won’t be a man until March 3,
next year.”
Miss Putnam quieted her fiance
ami they left the office without
jthe lieense, promising to return
! when they found sombody to act
as guardian for Albert and give
consent to the marriage.
HOW AN EDITOR WOULD COMMIT
SUICIDE.
At present writing we have no
desire to leave this vale of tears
and hurl ourselves upon Abra
ham's bosom, but if we should
desire to do so, we wouldn’t lean
up against a loaded gun and then
pull the trigger, as many do.
Neither would we eat a solid
meal of rough-on-rats, blow out
the gas, drink concentrated lye,
sit down on the lap of a buzz
saw, smoke cigarettes or call a
Kentuckian a liar or poor judge
of whiskey. We would simply
get out an edition of our paper in
which we would strive to the best
of our ability to print the plain,
square-toed truth as we under
stand it, and then calmly await
the end. Alabama Courier.
WHY HE WAS WONDERING,
Way down in Virginia, once
upon a time, a man started a
store to purchase hides, says the
Frederick, Md., News. Then'
being no sign painter handy, he
devised a novel method of ad
vertising his calling. He bored
a hole in the door of his store
room and, cutting the tail from
a fresh calf skin, he «Buck the
butt end of it in the hole. The
next day he saw a farmer silently
chewing a straw and gazing in
deep contemplation ftpon the calf
tail. The dealer approached him
in the hope of making a trade,
but the farmer disdained any
such intention.
“Well, what do you want, and
what are ye?” asked the tanner,
in some irritation.
“I reckon I’m what ye call one
o' these heah scientists.” re
turned the farmer, whose eye had
never left the calf tail.
“I’m tryin’ to figure out how
in tarnation that ahr calf ever
got through that ahr augur hole!”
