THE (BOLL WEEVIL IN
NEWTON COUNTY.
Skeptics are convinced at last that
the boll weevil is here and itotent to
wreak destruction.
But no trumpet note has sounded to
call people into the work of defense.
Unless the business men and the
farmers get together 0 na practical
program, there is going to b e suffering.
Ask your renters about signing up
for next year—they will put you off. j
Ask supply men about credit for,
guano and other supplies—they will j
look sadly and doubtfully at you. j
There is going to be a great moving 1
about in Newton county unless sorneg
thin is done quickly.
Enough capital stock to establish
and maintain an elevator for gain and
to operate a hay warehouse ought to
be subscribed at once, so that farmers
can figure on corn and hay acreage.
If the business men of Newton coun¬
ty will not get together to help save
the farmer, they will go down in the
ruck themselves.
Send a commission to South Georgia
to investigate and report on the pros¬
perous counties that have met boll
weevil condiions intelligently.
The farmers must KNOW that there
will be a market for his corn and hay
and potatoes—and the business men
must assure him of it, so that people
can adjust themselves quickly to new
crop conditions.
Newton county will do well to make
4000 hales of cotton in 1921.
This is going to be a good county to
move out of unless public spirit wakes
up and does something inside the next
sixty days.

POISONED BY SODIUM NITRATE.
Twenty-six head of Angus cattle,
valued at about $5,000 and owned by
Joe J. Battle, are dead as a result of
rating sodium nitrate. The cattle
were found dead on the Battle farm
,
near Moultrie Monday morning .and
a post mortem examination made by a
local vetrenarian revealed the fact
that they had been poisoned. The
cattle got to the fertilizer barn as the
result of a gate being left open. The
nitrate, the veternarian explained,
had a salty taste and this caused the
cattle to lick it—Moultrie Observer.

OVER THE CLOUDS
There Majesty of Aerial Perspec*
five Can Be Realized.
Writer Describes His Observations on
an Airplane Trip—View Not to
Be Compared With That
at Sea Level.
The full majesty of the aerial per¬
spective can only be realized, writes
Edward P. Warner in the Yale Re
view, when one is above the clouds
and the earth is shut off from view.
In flying on an overcast day, when
heavy banks of cumulus clouds lie at
about 3,000 feet, it is possible to ex¬
perience within a minute or two ev¬
ery degree of fog and sunshine.
When one is passing into the clouds
the lower surfaces of which are al¬
most perfectly flat, there is an in¬
stantaneous transition from shadow to
complete atmospheric opacity, simi¬
lar in appearance to a dense fog at
the ground but differing somewhat
from it in feeling, for the interior of a
cloud seems to be “drier,” the air less
saturated with water vapor, than the
fogs which are met with at sea or
ashore. If the climb be continued a
few hundred feet farther, the airplane
passes again into clear air, but into
air now of clarity and brightness
worthy of Mediterranean skies and
not at all to be compared with that at
sea level.
Above lies an almost cloudless sky.
a sky the perfection of whose azure
tints makes one long for the brush and
the skill of Maxfield Parrish to make
permanent record where memory
quickly fades and where photography
cannot even suggest. Below, ahead,
and all round, ars the cumulus clouds,
but they present a very different as¬
pect from that seen from the ground.
The lower surfaces are flat and unin¬
teresting, but the upper parts are like
colossal billows which are constantly
changing, rolling, eddying, whipping
to pieces, and forming again. The low¬
er surfaces lie in shadow—a fact
which often gives to the most innocent
and fleecy of clouds the threatening
black appearance of “thunder heads,”
but the upper surfaces are just
enough shaded in spots by the uneven¬
ness of contour to afford relief, so that
they are not utterly dazzling.
The clouds are so sharply defined
against the sky, so opaque, that it is
as difficult to believe that they con¬
sist of yielding vapor as it is for most
people to believe in the reality of the
ghosts of the traditional ghost stories
—beings who retain all their earthly
appearance and habiliments yet have
no substance to resist a thrust or
blow. A novice in flying is likely to
draw himself together and brace him¬
self in his seat almost involuntarily in
anticipation of the impact as the air¬
plane dives at 150 feet a second toward
the white mass ahead, a mass which
seems at least as solid as a snowdrift.
There is no impact, no hesitation when
the cloud is reached, but the passen¬
ger suddenly realizes that he can no
longer see the blue above, that he can¬
not even see the wing tips of the air¬
plane, though he knows that in a few
seconds be will return to the condi¬
tions of the ground dwellers, so far as
their view of the sky is concerned.
Short Candle Burned Out.
Mannie Chappelle (Emanuel S.), a
generation ago was a shining flgnrf on
Broadway who exemplified the art of
joy living. He was agent for a brand
of champagne which he distributed
freely at dinners which he gave in or¬
der to introduce people to it. They
had to be people of wealth and social
standing to make it worth while for
him. He earned big money, spent it
freely, had a great gift of companion¬
ship, which constituted his chief equip¬
ment for his business, was immensely
popular with the kind of people whose
trade was desirable, and used to boast
that for years at a time he never saw
the sun. Daylight in New York wasn’t
worth while. Nothing happened. His
wife was Billie Burke’s sister. She
divorced him. He has just died, at
the age of fifty-five. No man had more
good times in his life than he. We
wonder if he was as happy as he made
other people, and doubt it. Prohibi¬
tion knocked out his business. He
found notiiing else worth living for.—
Waterbury American.
Only a Snack!
After a frugal little lunch in a coun¬
try hotel the millionaire who was tour¬
ing the country in his sixty horse
power car, called for his bill.
“Yes, sir,” replied the waiter^
promptly. “Four sandwiches and a
glass of cider, you had, sir. That will
be—”
“Wait a minute ?’ interrupted the
motorist. “There's my chauffeur some¬
where. What has he had?”
“Oh, I know about him, sir,” replied
the waiter. “He says he’s just had a
snack—an omelette, grilled trout, lamb
cutlets and peas, iced coffee, a half
crowu cigar and a bottle of claret,
sir.”—London Answers.
Gasoline Substitute.
“Motor alcohol,” a substitute for
gasoline, made from molasses on tlie
Hawaiian sugar plantations, .which
has been allowed to run to waste or
burned for the recovery of potash, is
a new automobile fuel which it is said
gives more power, greater mileage,
easier starting, and more freedom
from carbon than gasoline. Hawaii
has molasses enough available to pro¬
duce 9,000,000 gallons of “motor al¬
cohol”—enough for all the automo¬
biles Oil tie islands.
