Ga.—-“‘Pay as we go’ must he our motto, and we must 1 jve up to it. We must not foiy.et that while it i r. both pleasant and e:.ay to appro¬ priate money for worthy objects, it is hard to levy taxes and still harder for people to pay them in times like these. ’ The foregoing statement was made by Governor Thomas W. Hardwick, in his inaugural address, discussing slate finances. He said that at anoth¬ er time he would address the General Assembly and point out in detail and with amide specifications, the condition of the fiscal affairs of the state. “No thoughtful man can dispute the proposition that in times like these it is not only highly desirable but also absolutely necessary that the fiscal af lans of the state shall be adminis (erect along strictly business lines, de ciare,t the governor. Income and out go must be carefully and accurately balanced against each other; rigid and ' bbonomy must be riot only preach ed , but practiced. However '’“ “ worthy the appropriation it cannot and must not be ma'de unless we have the money to spend." Discussing boards, bureaus, and commissions, Governor Hardwick de¬ clared: It is my purpose to hew to the line, in this matter, wherever the chips may fall, and I unhesitatingly urge abolitition of every useless board, of every unnecsessary commission, of every ornamental officeholder. Let us purge Georgia’s payroll of them all.” Governor Hardwick referred to the agricultural ---- interests of Hi the Life state O Let. fC which , . he declared “to be especially necessary noonaao i-v in I ^ this -.1-,-:- most ... trying period of readjustment." Without the farmer we cannot feed the state; without him we can not ■ lothe it; upon him, in both war and p;.Ut?e, depends both the prosperity and well-being of the state,” said the gov¬ ernor. If I may say just a word to him today, I would say, feed yourself first, ifticre you undertake to clothe the world. Nature has given to the South¬ ern States of the Republic a great monopoly on the production of cot¬ ton, but the financial reward that should follow such a situation can never be fully realized until the south¬ ern cotton farmer makes his cotton his surplus crop. When he does that he will be the financial king of the world. Until he does it he is its slave.” Governor Hardwick said it was his purpose to suggest to the legislature, at an early date, legislation to assist the fanner to find and reach a ready cash market for all other crops that this state can and does produce other than cotton. He declared that when that is done the farmers will have real diversification in Georgia and cox ton will really become its surplus (jyop. In this connection. Governor Hard¬ wick declared that Georgia has re¬ cently been indicted, most unfortunate¬ ly, and he thought unjustly, in the fo¬ rum of public opinion for mistreating the negro, for peonage, and for other kindred crimes. He said there has been no year .since the negro was freed in which the farmers of this state have done more for the negro than They have done this year. “He has-taken-care of the negro, fed him, clothed him, sheltered him. doc-' tored him, and now in a year like this, when he has made every imaginable sacrifice to help the negro, to be charged on high authority with hold¬ ing the negro in peonage, is almost more than he can bear,” the governor asserted. Governor Hardwick declared that “there is no state or country in the world in which a good, law-abiding, peaceable negro can live with more security to his life, his property and his rights, than the State of Geor¬ gia.” The governor said there is no State in the Union, and no country in the world, having within its limits any¬ thing like an even division of its pop¬ ulation between the white and black races, in which the relations between the two .jrnces are more harmonious than in the State of Georgia. _ TO COVINGTON We hope to be able to show our ap preciatitiii by t lie service we give.

KENT, Adjutant General Victory Medal Officer SHHRINERS TO HFI P THF CBIPPI ED CHIL DREN OF AMERICA At a recent meeting of the Imperial Council of Shriners at Des Moines, there was authorized not only the building of one hospital for the treat¬ ment of crippled children, but a plan which may eventually bring such treatment within reach,, of every crip¬ pled ■ hild in America. Nothing finer could be done than this work of the Shriners. for to give back health and strength and ability to work to crippled and deformed boys and girls, not only means the individ¬ ual good and happiness of the child in question, but the very practical os set of a man and woman who can be a worker in the world, instead of a helpless burden. The Shriners, the Elks, the the Moose, the Eagles, and all of great fraternal orders do more than will ever be known until books of the recording angel are ed. and through their wonderful 1 of charity and their perfect J tion, the results they accomplish 'far reaching and effectual.—Ex.

POISONING THE WEEVIL The most popular method of getting rid of the boll weevil not only In New¬ ton county, but all over the state, is by mixing together molasses and cal¬ cium arsenate and placing it where these pests can make a meal of it. Most everywhere you go can be heard conversations regarding the sure death to the weevil when this mixture is properly applied to the cotton plants. It is said by those that have used this poison that the “bugs” eat it readily, The mixture is made as follows: 2 pounds of calcium arsenate. 2 gallons of syrup or molasses. 1 gallon of water. The Sandersville Progress in com¬ menting on the new remedy for de¬ stroying the weevil says: “This should be thoroughly mixed and applied to the plant with a small mop which can be made with a rag tied around the end of a stick. The theory is that the insect is attracted to the syrup and as soon as it does the poison does the work. Sveral of the farmers in this county reported that they have successfully tried the exper¬ iment, and wherever the mixture has been aplied they have not been able to find a single live weevil, while quite a number of dead ones have been found on the ground near the cotton plants. It Is claimed that the above mixture is sufficient to cover three acres of cot¬ ton, and the stipulated cost is thirty cents an acre at this stage of the crop. Careful watch should be kept and if the weevils appear again the same application can be made. The mixture sticks to the cotton plant and Is not swept away by the wind or light rains like the powder alone, as was tried by quite a number of farmers last year. If it is found that the mixture is too thick it can be thinned by the addition of more water. It is not necessary to apply much on each stalk, as the least panicle of the poison will kill the in¬ sect as soon as it comes in contaca with It. , Some of the farmers in Jefferson and Burke counties tried this experiment last year and they reported fine suc¬ cess. This year it is being more gen¬ erally used, and it is believed that a good crop can be made if all will use the poison according to the above for¬ mula. In some instances arsenic is being used, but it is more expensive than calcium arsenate. Being a much strong¬ er poison one pound sufficient to be mixed with two gallons of syrup or molasses and one quart of water. “ MOBLEYMOORE WEDDING Popular Covington Girl Weds Winder Man. Ceremony Beautiful and Impressive. The marriage of Miss Lucie Mobley, one of fhe most efficient teachers in | our Covington High School, to Mr. i Lester Lee Moore, was an impressive event of Wednesday, taking place at the pretty country home of the bride's parents near Covington at 3:30 o’clock. The decorations of the living room, where the ceremony was performed, were of handsome ferns and crene myrtle in profusion. Large white col¬ umns with massive ferns and smaller columns bearing Marie Antionette baskets of crepe myrtle furnished the improvised altar. A musical program was furnished by Miss Florence Wells accompanied by Mrs. R. R. Folwer, viz: “The Sweet¬ est Story Ever Told” and “Because.” The wedding march was played by a schoolmate of the bride, Miss Ruth Beeland, of Macon. Miss Sarah Mobley, as maid of hon¬ or and only attendant, was beautifully with picture hat to match, having a corsage of sweet peas tied with pastel shaded tulle. Mr. Hubert Moore, brother of the groom, acted as best man. The attractive young bride wore a beautiful cloth suit of navy blue, ac¬ cessories to match toilet. Her bouquet was swansonias showered with valley lilies. The charming sisters, Misses Julia and Willie, also Miss Ora Upshaw made a pretty setting in their girlish frocks. The ring ceremony was used, Rev. J. E, Ellis, pastor of First Methodist church, officiating in a very pleasing manner. Mrs. Moore, mother of the groom, and sister, Miss Moore, of Winder, were present. Miss Maude Mobley in her very gra¬ cious manner received the guests. Delicious ices were served. The bride and groom left amid a shower of rice and old slippers for a motor trip by way of Atlanta, carry¬ ing with them the best wishes of a host of friends. MAN IVHO TOOK BERGDOLL’S PLACE KILLED IN BATTLE Philadtlphia,—The man who took Grover C. Bergdoll’s place when the convicted draft evader, now a fugi¬ tive in Germany, failed to answer the call, died a hero in the Argonne For¬ est after being cited by the command¬ ing general of his brigade for brav¬ ery in action in one of the most note¬ worthy battles of the world war. He wa,= Rur-sell C. Gross, of this city, a private in Company E, 338th Infan¬ try who was killed by bullets from a machine gun nest, which later was captured by Company G of the same infantry headed by Corporal Alvin C. York, of Tennessee. This was revealed tonight by the Overbrook post of the American Legi¬ on after an investigation. The post announced it would change its name to that of the fallen hero and was planning a memorial to Gross, “who was forced into service ahead of his turn by the Slacker Bergdoll.” Gross, who was 23 years old, was the first man called by the draft board after Bergdoll failed to respond.

Funeral Sunday. When on Saturday, June 25th. the sad tidings went abroad that Annelle Odum’s sweet spirit hail winged its flight, a profound sorrow reigned over Covington. Annelle was the second daughter of Mayor and Mrs. Henry Odum. She was born October 4th, 1908. She was the name-sake of her grand¬ mother, Mrs. W. P. Odum, and a fa¬ vorite throughout the family. Sweetness of disposition and bright¬ ness of spirit were hers unto the end, despite farility of body and oft-times exceeding great suffering. She was active in all good works, a member of the North Covington Meth¬ odist church, treasurer of the Mis¬ sionary Society 7 . She is remembered by many on two especia^ occasions,re¬ cently, looking iige an angel and sing¬ ing like a seraph. One was at a meet¬ ing of the W. C. T. U.; the other an Easter celebration. She wore a snowy’ organdie and carried an armful of lilies-. She -excelled in all that she under¬ took. Her motto always was, “Right is right.” Her life was lived for others. In sickness or in health she had the same sunny smile for each and all, and in turn, she was blessed with the tender care of adoring loved ones and the ministries of eager hearts. Of her it has been said by one who knows best: “Her life radiated happi¬ ness and sweet patience. She loved beautiful things, flowers, God’s out-of doors and music.- She was a benedic¬ tion. Her fine little character was a dainty blossom loaned for a time to be returned to Heaven. We are enriched by her coming.” In the hush and stillness of the Sabbath morning a sacred service was held in the home over all that was mortal of precious little Annelle Odum. Dr. Sharp showed that her. y 7 oung life truly illustrated “Death loves a shining mark.” His tributes were ten¬ derly true and beautiful. The songs were exquisitely appropriate. To Mrs. E. M Smith’s accompani¬ ments a quartette composed of Misses Winnie Huson, Florence Wells, Messrs. E. M. Smith and B. M. Kitchens sang ‘Asleep in Jesus” and “Abide With Me.” Miss Wells rendered “Jewels.” the Easter selection she sang. Interment occurred in West View cemetery in the presence of an in¬ numerable throng. She sleeps beneath a wealth of magnificent floral offer¬ ings. MRS. MoKIBBEN HONOREE Misses Maggie and Carrie Beck Da¬ vis complimented Mrs. C. A. McKib ben, of Atlanta, Wednesday with an automobile party. Social Circle was the first stop. Hospitality was extend¬ ed by Mrs. F. G. Dunn, assisted bv Mrs. Harry Davis. Then Madison proved a lure, affording attractive di¬ version with delicious refreshments.
