Control.
Tins worm is easily controlled if
we begin in time, When they are
advancing efforts should be made to
cheek their progress and prevent then
from m:i-sting other fields. The most
satisfactory mehods are by the use of
Paris green- or arsenate of lead. The
latte i is prefeable.
Hew to Use Paris Green.
it: green can be obtained at al
mast a; local drug store at a reason¬
able pri< , About one pound is-nec¬
essary for one acre. The best meth¬
od oi applying is by mixing with four
or livt pounds of cheap flour or air
slack . lime and dusting it on to the
plants. The dusting apparatus can
bo made from a one-inch board, four
and a half feei long and three inches
wide, by boring an inch and aj half
auger hole five inches from each end,
and •,telling under each hole a sack
five in- lies wide by about fifteen
iiK-hc.- long These sacks cam be
made from unstarched sheeting, run¬
ning about, four pounds to the yard,
or of S oz. ducking. If it is found
that the poison is being applied too
last ei too slow, the proportions of
lime for flour) and Paris green must
charted so that, the required amount
of actual poison will ho applied per
acre.
Uy applying in this way one person
<an dust fifteen to twenty arres per
<h<y In riding on horseback and dust¬
ing be passes between the rows.’
How Use Powdered Arsenate of Lead
li arsenate of lead is used the pow
dere.l form should he employed. It
ntn be used alone or with am equal
quantity of flour or air-slacked lime,
it so- n i be applied by dusting as in
case of Paris green and at the rate of
11)011 1 three pounds of the arsenate
°t hud per acre.
ih< best time to dust is in the ear

!siuc!ei\ results can be obtained if

the day.

ods where the cotton crop of Georgia
hJis has bAAti been iivinn&rl injured fnlKr fully p^,
and it could do equally as much dam
age this year if it were to break out
during July or August.
While the cotton, caterpillar appear¬
ed all over the cotton belt last sea¬
son none of the insects wintered over
except in the extreme southern part
of the cotton belt. It is advancing
rapidly from this section. Specimens
may have wintered in Florida or ex¬
treme south Georgia. It multiplies
very rapidly And can cover vast areas
in a single season, Last year speci¬
mens were taken in New York state,
in Massachusetts and even in Canada
during the fall and they came from
tne outbreak in the cotton states.
This is an insect that can be easily
controlled. The only thing of impor¬
tance is for the cotton grower to be
prepared at the time the first speci¬
mens make their appearance. Be
ready to apply the Paris green or
arsenate of lead when the first spec¬
imens are observed. One application
will probably be sufficient to give pro
lection during an entire season.
The powdered arsenate of lead par¬
ticularly has wonderful adhesive pow¬
ers and the poisonous effects remain
as long as the leaves cling to the
plant. When specimens are observed
on the cotton they should be sent at
once to the State Entomologist so
that detailed directions can be given
for applying the poison.
Paris green or arsenate of lead can
be purchased at almost any drug
store in this city.
URGES TAX ON ALL LIQUOR
SHIPMENTS TO GEORGIA.
Senator Felker Has a Bill He Thinks
• Will Eliminate Blind Tigers.
Senator Felker, of the twenty
seventh district, last week introduced
two prohibitions bills, which if pass¬
ed, will not only bring large revenue
to the counties of the state, but also
help the cause of temperance. A
state liquor tax that will net the state
one million dollars a year is provided
for in one of the bills. This is to be
derived from the sale of labels that
must be placed on all packages con¬
taining spirituous liquors. The sena¬
tor believes the tax will make drink¬
ing prohibitive and will put thous¬
ands of blind tigers out of business.
‘‘It is the solution of the liquor prob¬
lem in Georgia,” said Senator Felker.
“Figures furnished during the last
gubernatorial campaign,'’ he said,
“s ow that fully four million gallons
of wine, beer and liquor are shipped
into Georgia annually.”
The bills caused considerable cl is
eussion among members of the senate
w*'o hail hot expected any liquor leg¬
islation other than the scheduled bat¬
tle over the Tipping bill. This bill
has been set as a special order Tor
the first of this week, and a vote will
be taken today or tomorrow’.
Senator Felker is a strong advocate
ol the Tippius hill but admits that its
provisions will deprive the state of
r evenue 'totaling $200000 which even
the advocates do not. see how it can
be replaced.

THE MOBLEY HOME SCENE
OF BEAUTIFUL WEDDING.
A more beautiful marriage can hard¬
ly be imagined than that of Miss
Luelle Mobley and Mr. Charles Ches¬
ter King, which took place last Thurs
day evening at 9 o’clock, at the home
of the bride’s parents, Mr. and Mrs.
Coleman T. ^Mobley. The entire low¬
er floor of the beautiful’colonial home'
was thrown together and brilliantly
illuminated. The decorations on this
occasion were unusually beautiful.
The walls were hung with festoons of
Southern smilax and quantities of
pink and white flowers were used in
the decorations.
Beautiful indeed was the front draw¬
ing room where the bridal party stood
during the ceremony. -Pink carna¬
tions and lilies of the valley were
the flowers used in this room. Rev.
D. W. Key, the officiating minister,
stood within an enclosure with back¬
ground of palms and ferns, over which
was an arch of electric lights shad¬
ed with pink. The gates which form¬
ed a part of the chancel rail were
opened by little Miss .Frances Ray
and Master A. B. Mobley, Jr., and
through these gates, the bridal party
entered. The chancel rail was cov¬
ered with pink and white tulle. On
the pillars of the rail were silver can¬
dle sticks, holding waxen tapers, with
shades of pink, decorated with lilies
of the valley.
The bride and groom stood before
a kneeling cushion of white, beneath
a canopy of tulle and flowers.
Just before the ceremony Mrs. Os¬
car 1 Gower sang an exquisite solo.
The wedding march was played by |
Miss- Clara Mae Smith.
T H e ribbon hearers were Miss Fran-]
ces Ray, Miss Julia Napier, Master
Albert Mobley and Master James Rob
erts.
Messrs. Albert Mobley, Arthur Mob¬
ley, Harry Ray and Louis Mobley
were ushers. Mr. Julius Willingham,
of Douglas, was best man, and Miss
Julia Mobley maid-of-honor Mrs. Har¬
ry Ray and Mrs. William Robinson
were matrons of honor. Miss Mary
Mobley was first brides-maid and
the other brides-maids were Miss
Maud Mobley, Miss Mattie Michael,
Miss Ola Mobley and Miss Elizabeth
Harr old.
The bride was given away by her
father.
The bride’s gown was an exquisite
creation of olga crepe with trim¬
mings of rose point lace.
The long tulle veil was caught in
cap effect with a chaplet of orange
blossoms. She carried a shower bou¬
quet of orchids and lilies of the valley.
The maid-of-honor wore a gown of
pink embroidered marquisette ov. r
pink mesaline and carried pink roses
lied with pink tulle.
The fir" brides-maid wore white
..embroidered marquisette over white
mesaline and carried pink roses with
streamers of tulle.
Half of the brides-maids wore gowi«
ol pink marquisette and half wore
white, and canned bouquets of pins:
roses. Little Misses Ray and Napier
were dainty in .white lingerie frocks
over pink and satin bows. Masters
Albert Mobley :«(i James Rob-vts
wore suits of white with large pink
sailor collars.
Immediately following the ceremo¬
ny, an elegant reception was held.
Mr. and Mrs. King left at midnight
for Atlanta. From there they went to
Lake Toxaway, N. C., where they* will
spend some time before going to Cov¬
ington, which will be their future
home.
A large company of friends to the
bride and groom from neighboring
towns and cities were present upon
this occasion.—Walton News.
LAWMAKERS WANT RAISE
IN THEIR SALARIES.
However The People Will Have a
Chance to Vote Before Its a Law.
The* people of Georgia may be ask¬
ed 'o raise the salary of their law¬
makers, as well as give them more
money for their expenses. They want
seven dollars a day, instead of four,
and ten cents a mile for traveling
expenses, instead of seven cents.
Probably the high cost of living is
the cause for this situation.
In order,to get more pay the leg
silaturp will not only have to sanction
its own request, but get the endorse¬
ment of the people by popular vote.
The measure which has been intro¬
duced calling for more salary involves
an amendment to the constitution.
What the outcome will be is a matter
of conjecture. It should be stated,
however, that other bills of similar!
importance have failed of passage in
past years, and the,odds are said to
be against this measure.
