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!” \ For prices on Mow ers.
