I he 801 l Weevil Quarantine And the Necessity For It Atlanta, December. —(Special.) The new boll weevil quarantine line In Geor(Ctn linn Juki been ib-fined and tnaiked out by the Stale Board of (entomology, effective Monday, Decem ber 6, and a rigid adherence to the rules and n ; ulatlona laid down by the board will be iio'lnted upon In or d> r to prevent the spread of the boll weevil at a rale more rapid than un der ordinary natural conditions. The Mexican cotton boll weevil, says the department, entered Georgia In August, and, owing to the very bee reason anti favorable conditions, spread more rapi ly than untleipated. It hat now been found In the follow ing countle.>: Decatur, Gratly. Thom n , Baker, l.owmles, Berrien, Colquitt, Mite: ell, Miller, Early, Baker, Worth, Tift, lloiiglieity, Calhoun, Clay, Quit ninn, Itandolph, Terrell, Dee, Sumter, ie hley, Webtiier, Stewart, Chattahoo chee, Marlon, Talbot, Muscogee, llar i , Cp on, Pike. Meriwether, Troup, Heard, Coweta, Fayette, Campbell, Carroll, ItouglaHM and Haralson, a to lul of forty, or more than one fourth of the cotton glowing area of the slate. Condition# Were Favorable It hat been an unusually favorable year for the weevil, and it bas ad vanc'd uniformly through northeast ern Alabama and In southern Tennes see If It had not been for the strict enforcement of quarantine regulations controlling the movement of cotton sc. .1, hull , corn in the shuck and such other nrtlclee ns are liable to carry boll weevil, this pest would now be well • iabl bed In every section of :i At the fir;.l killing frost the weevil went Into wittier quarlers, and one of Ids principal hiding places la In stored cotton seed. This creates the non ■;ity for ft sirb’i enforcement of the quarantine regulating the move ment of cotton seed from Infested Into non-Infested territory. The pi i lent aetunl boll weevil line In tool,-la a Just established, enters the : laie from Alabama at Newsvllle In Haralson county, passes through Tallapoosa aad Bremen, ihen through Honire in Carroll; through Bill Arp and Chape! Hill in Douglass county: slightly north of Bed Oak In Camp bell nuinty; then turns southward and pa ■n; through Brooks In Fayette; ju i euiit of Molena In Pike and east of Thunder in llpsen; slightly oast of Junction City In Talbot and a few mill ■ east of F.llavlUe In Schley ; thence slightly west of Americas In Sumter, through l’hllema in Bee, through Shlngloi and east of Sumner In Worth; thence through Dosla In Tift, JU: t east of Nola In Berrien and A "Pat" Reply. An Englishman, an Irishman and a Scotchman wont forth to- Ifothor to burble a farmhouse. The Sassenach appropriated a horse, the Gael a cow, while the repri sentative from Erin com mandeered a cart. As they were making their way into a town a policeman ap proached and asked the English man where he got the horse. "Ah!" ‘was the reply, "I’ve had it since it was a foal!" "And where did you get that cow?” he asked Scottie, who re sponded: "Ah! I’ve had her since she was a calf!" Turning to I’at, the constable next asked; "Where did you get the cart?" "Ah, begorra,” quickly retort ed Fat, "I’ve had it since it was a wheelbarrow. To Meet in Dublin. Dublin, Dec. 11. —The invita tion of the Oconee chapter. U. D. 1 >., to the Georgia division to hold their annual meeting of 10lit in Dublin has been formally accepted by the president of the Georgia divis, n, United Daugh ters of the Confederacy, Mrs. Herbert Franklin. Sudden Death of Col. J. M. Smith. Smithonia, l>oc. 11. —Col. J. M. Smith, the largest landowner in Georgia and whose vast plan tation in Oglethorpe county was unique for its manner of opera tion, died suddenly while seated at Ins dining table here today. He was 70 years of age. His wealth was reputed to be about $-1,000,000. His idea was to make his es tate as free from the necessity of outside purchase as possible. To gain this end he erected fer tilizer plants, grist and oil mills and otherwise made his planta tion almost independent. Col. Smith was a bachelor and his only near relative is a brother. Hllgbtly east of Valdosta In Lowndes and on to the Florida line. Seed For Crushing Only In fixing the new quarantine area for the shipment of cotton seed until the movement of the next crop begins on August 1, 181#, the stale board of entomology has authorised the ship ment of need from Infested territory for cruahlng purposes only to oil mills I hat are situated within the 20-mile afety xone. This safety sone la an area 20 miles wide, Just east of the actual boll weevil line. This applies ,olely to seed for crushing purposes, but these mills will not be permitted lo ship cotton seed hulls to points east of the 20-mlle safety tone unUl January 1 and after. There will be no restriction upon cotton seed hulls between January 1 and August 1, even from Infested to non-lnfested territory, as there Is practically no danger of carrying the weevil during that time. Articles which may not be shipped from In tested Into non-lnfested territory, ex cept within the 20 mile soae, Include seed cotton, cotton seed, sacks used for seed cotton or cotton seed within eight months, cotton seed hulls be tween August 1 and December 31, Spanish moss and corn in shuck be tween October 1 and June 30, living weevils or weevil stages, household goods containing any of the forego ing. Whore no time limit is specified Hie restriction Is continuous. Articles whose shipment Is not re stricted include haled cotton, llnters and loose cotton lint, cotton seed meal, rake and oil, corn shelled or In Hie ear with shuck removed, cotton . eed shown by affidavit to have been sacked for eight months or more, cot ton seed for planting after fumigation by an entomologist, hay and empty freight cars. May Delay The Weevil Strict observance of these quaran tine regulations tnay result In holding the weevil In check In this state for two or three years longer than other wise. Had It not been for the quaran tine against articles from Infested states, the weevil would have spread all over Georgia long ago. It is Im possible to prevent the spread of the weevil by natural means, but artificial means may be almost wholly con trolled. Everyone Is warned not to carry live boll weevils Into non-lnfested ter ritory. There are very Htrlct national and state laws against any person having live boll weevils In his posses sion, and the penalties for violation are severe. The state board of ento mology slates that these laws will be rigidly enforced. Sheriff Sale. Georgia—Montgomery County. Will he sold before the court house J dour m Mt.
