Kill The Weevils in Your Corn.
Thousands of dollars are lost
yearly in Grady county from
weevils eating up peas, corn and
other gram. By ceiling your
barn practically airtight and us
ing Carbon Disulphide you can
kill the weevils and rats too.
One the u land feet of good match
ed lumber will ceil a barn 16 x
20 and floor it too, this will cost
eleven or twelve dollars. Two
dollars worth of Carbon Disul
phide will kill all the weevils in
a barn full of corn of the above
dimensions. Put the Carbon
Disulphide in three or four bot
tles are tin cans and shut the
door. Do not open it under two
or three days, and you will have
the weevils jiillec). The bottles
or cans should be placed about
on top of the corn pile, as the
Carbon Disulphide acts as a
gas and will in the course of two
or three days penetrate the
whole pile of corn.
Precaution should be used with
fire. Don’t go about the barn
striking matches as Carbon Di
sulphide is inflammable like gas.
Take enough corn from the barn
to use until you are ready to open
the barn again. After the barn
has been re-opened a few hours
there is no danger of fire as the
carbon soon evaporates and is
gone. Give the corn treatment
•when first gathered from the
field, another about the first of
March and another about June.
Every farmer who makes an
average crop of corn loses enough
each year from weevils to pay
for ceiling the barn, and the
treatments.
JNow if you doubt what I have
written shell one or two bushels
of weevil corn and put in an air
tight barrel, place in a small
amount of the treatment, cover
up as near air-tight as possible,
with a heavy blanket or buggy
robe and await results. It won’t
cost you much to test it.

SEVENTEEN REASONS FOR THE .
OF T. W.
'T* HE Democratic voters of Georgia
* will do well to select Congressman
Thomas W. Hardwick to HU the unex
pired term of the late Senator Bacon—
1.—Because he is pre-eminently quali
fied by twelve years training and expe
rience In Congress, Is In close touch with
the Democratic leaders In the Senate,
with President Wilson and his Cabinet,
and can wield an Influence for Georgia
greater than any one of his opponents
could hope to have.
2.—Because, being at least the equal In
J mentality of any of his competitors, he Is
I twelve years ahead of them In experience
THOMAS W. HARDWICK. as t0 the . dutles of a Senator.
3.—Because of long and loyal service to the Democratic party In
State and Nation. . .
4.—Because he is the father of negro disfranchisement In Georgia,
and one of the pioneers of that movement In the South. It was he
who begun the fight in 1899, prosecuting it vigorously, until It was
won In 1908.
6 -—Because he voted for and helped to pass in Congress such,
great constructive Pleasures as the legislation for the construction of
the Panama Canal, the Pure Food Act, the Hepburn bill regulating
railroads', the McCall hill for pulllcity in campaign expenses, the Till
man bill prohibiting corporations from making political contributions,
the act of 1907 limiting tho number of hours of continuous service foil
railroad telegraphers, the . employers’ liability act, the Constitutional' 11
Amendment providing for an Income Tax, and for tho election of
United Clales Senators by the people and others,
8- Because South'Georgia is entitled to one of the Senators.' Mr.
Hardwick was born in Thomas county, and lives In Washington
county.
—Because he led a successful fight In Congress to repeal the tax
of two cents a pounds on sugar, thus saving this amount to every
housekeeper In the country.
8.—Because he helped organise and load the light on Cannon and
Cannonlsin, thereby splitting the Republican party and paving the
way for complete Democratic success In 1912., »
9 - —Because when disruption threatened the party over the Panama
tolls question, he, with Congressman Adamson of Georgia, under of- -
flclal-appointment, rallied the shattered forces and saved the day for
tho party and the administration. _.
10.—Because he has always stood for sharp restriction of undesir
able foreign Immigration and Was Instrumental In Increasing the head
tnx and Imposing an educational test on foreign immigrants.
• 11 -—Because lie was largely Instrumental In securing the passage
of the Shackelford good roads bill through the House.
12 -—Because he has always opposed and always will oppose most
strenuously the appointment of negroes to office.
13. —Because although progressive in views as his record proves,
he supports the great basic principles of Democracy—Individualism,
rights of the states, co-ordination and division of federal powers—and
believes in upholding the ancient Democratic faith.
14. —Because he is vigorous, alert, active and always ready to light
hard and to the end for the Interests of Georgia and her people. -
IB.—Because he never dodges an Issue or trims his sails.to catch a
passing breeze.
16. —Because he wears no man’s collai; and acknowledges no master
save the sovereign people of Georgia, whose commission he will hold.
17. —Because he Is the peer of any of his 'competitors in ability,
experience, judgment and party service.
