THE HOLE WEEVIL SCARE NO
"WOLF" CRY.
Commissioner of Agriculture J. D.
Price and State Entomologist E. L.
Worsham have jUBt returned from
(Louisiana and Mississippi, where they
spent ton days Inspecting the weevil-
infected cotton crops in those StatcB
and studying the methods employed to
lesson the ravages inflicted by this de
structive pest. They found conditions
■even worse than anticipated, and re
turned fully convinced that the boll
weevil Is by no means a myth, but a
ravaging, insatiate pest whoso threat
ened invasion of the Georgia cotton-
•flelds iB a thing to be dreaded. Ac
cording to the calculations of State En
tomologist Worsham, who has been
carefully following the slow but un
checked migration of the Insect horde in
this direction, the weevil is due to
roach Georgia next year, and time and
again he has issued warnings to this ef
fect. No effective method of extermi
nation has yet been found. The only
way to forestall the post is by early
planting ' and rapid cultivation, it is
said, and oven then it is not possible to
-escape its ravages altogether.
The Atlanta Constitution of Wednes
day quotes Commissioner Price on the
boll weevil situation as follows—
"Until I wont into the weevil af
fected district this year with a view of
snaking a special study of it, I was in
clined to regard that insect lightly—
very much as many of our farmers do—
but I found that 1 was seriously mis
taken. It is almost impossible to esti
mate tho effect of the weevil upon a
community which it has struck in an
unprepared condition. It moans, for
the time being, prostration. I saw cot
ton six or eight feet high which will
not mnko more than 200 or 300 pounds
of lint to tho acre on account of the
boll weevil. Tho only way our farmers
can prepare for it is by diversifying
their crops.
“My advice to farmers of Southwest
Georgia, which will be reached by the
weevil noxt year, is to plant six acres
of cotton to tho mule. That is the
only way in which they can prepare to
meet tho post’s ravages.
"Tho cotton crop in Georgia is fairly
up to the average—much hotter than
it iB in any of the adjacent States.
Tho corn crop is also good, while
throughout tho country generally it is
almost a totul failure. 1 did not see
Bny good corn nfter I loft Georgia. I
did not Btop off the train in Ala
bama, confining my inspection to the
States of Mississippi and Louisiana,
but judging from what I saw along tho
ad, tho
the proposed Senate measure is not cor
rect in principle, and declare that any
plan of compensation based upon oper
ating cost and taxes, plus six per cent,
for profit, is fundamentally wrong, be
cause it makes po allowance for return
upon the property employed.
Tho officials declare further that it
would not be right to entrust to the
Postofflco Department the discretion of
selecting the formulas by which to as
certain these costs, because the Post-
office Department has an obvious in
terest at stake. Its object being always
to reduce the railway pay to a mini
mum.
One of the questions Senator Bourne
asked was, "What, in your opinion, is
a desirable plan for compensating rail
road companies for transporting mail?”
To this, the railroad officials answered
i follows; "The existing law haB
been in effect for nearly forty years,
and those who have worked under it
are more or lesB familiar with its oper
ations. If it wore amended to correct
serious inequalities, as suggested in the
answer we made to former questions,
and fairly and impartially administered
by the Postoffice Department, it would
bo preferable to any untried or theoreti
cal plan that could be proposed.”
LOCALS BROUGHT FORWARD.
ruilrond, tho corn crop is ulmost
total fniluro. Georgia is indood fortu-
nato, both in cotton and corn, this
yoar."
By the way, Commissioner Price is
now lending tho influence and authori
ty of his department to a more satis
factory and olfoctive enforcement of
tho Pure Food luws in this State. That
ho is in oarnoBt about it is shown by a
rocont ruling of tho Stato Department
of Agriculture, which ruling is ap
proved by tho Attorney-Gonoral. Tho
ruling, together with un explanatory
noto from Commissioner Price, aro
given below—

the Coweta National Bank, is now con
nected with the State Treasury de
partment as bank examiner, having ac
cepted this position and entered upon
his duties several days ago. He is
well equipped for the place, his long
experience in the banking business
rendering him peculiarly fitted for this
work, which requires tact as well as
ability in dealing with delicate and
difficult situations that will be fre
quently encountered in his capacity as
bank examiner,
John James was killed Sunday near
TexaB by Sanders Fomby. The men had
a quarrel awhile before the shooting, it
is said, at Fomby’s home, but were
separated, and it was thought no fur
ther trouble would ensue. Later the
two men mot not far away, when the
killing occurrod. There were no wit
nesses to tho killing. Fomby claims
self-defense, and came to town Sunday
night and gave himself up. At the
commitment trial, however, he was re
manded to jail without bail.—Franklin

At a meeting of the directors of
Coweta National Bank last week Mr.
John S. Hardaway was elected cashier
to fill a vacancy occasioned by the re
cent resignation of Mr. R. E. Platt.
Mr. Harduway, who has been in Col
orado for the past two years, wus noti
fied of his election, and arrived Wed
nesday to enter upon his duties. Mr.
Hardaway was for u year or more assis
tant cashier of the Newnan Banking
Co., and one of Newnan’s most popu
lar bnnk officials. His many friends
are glad to have him at home again.
Mr. W. M. Poage had the misfortune
to lose his barn by fire Saturday night.
The fire was discovered shortly before
midnight, and had made such headway
that the fire department could do little
more than prevent the flames from
spreading to adjacent property, al
though a quick run was made. A
valuable horse owned by Mr. Poage
perished in the flames. Other contents
of the Lam destroyed included a
buggy, two wagons, farm implements,
and a large quantity of forage. The
total loss was about $800, with no in
surance.

The New Fall Styles in Women’s
Hats.
Mrs. Lela Adams, who returned a
few days ago from an extended trip
through the Middle West and the East,
(including a week spent in the millin
ery marts of New York,) was in the
midst of her annual fall opening yes
terday when The Herald and Adverti
ser man looked in timidly on the bril
liant display of millinery things that
brightened and beautified her estab
lishment, but she turned aside long
enough to daze the reporter with a few
observations on the prevailing styles in
women's hats for fall. Speaking of
her trip and the new fall styles, Mrs.
Adams said—
“We had a nice trip. Our first stop
was at Cincinnati, where we found the
millinery stocks quite large and varied,
and cheaper than in New York. The
styles there are also more modified.
The hats impressed one at first as be
ing nearly all black —mostly sailor
shapes, with soft crowns.
“Our next stop was at Cleveland, O.,
a beautifully clean city, with many
beautifully tailored women. Thence to
Niagara Falls and Toronto, the latter
decidedly a slowgoing old town, as com
pared with our American cities. An
all-day journey from Buffalo, down the
banks of the historic Hudson, brought
us into ‘old New York’—the center of
everything that Is beautifnl and stylish,
The imported hats, all from Paris,
were gorgeous. Sapphire blue, Niger
brown and mahogany seemed to be the
prevailing shades. The extreme styles
were displayed in profusion on Fifth
avenue and in the big department
stores.
“On the last round of our journey we
stopped at Atlantic City, N. J. A ver
itable riot of green prevailed here—
green hosiery, green sashes, green
hats, green parasols--green everything.
In order to display this color to the
best advantage slit-skirts and French-
heel shoes were much in evidence.

The cost of paving Jackson street
was 94 36-100 cents per square yard.
Cost of concrete curb and gutter, 61
8100 cents per linear foot. The street
has a uniform width of 44 feet from
curb to curb, except in the last block,
where intersection is made with Clark

by Mr. T. L. Wolfe, who had charge of
the work.
Mr. W. E. Turner, of Greenville, died
at the Newnan sanatarium Sunday
morning, following an operation for ap
pendicitis. He was stricken Wednesday
night, and Friday evening was brought
to Newnan for treatment. Saturday
morning he went on the operating table,
but the inflammation was found to be
too far advanced to offer any reason
able hope of relief, and this was veri
fied a few hours later when he passed
away. Mr. Turner was a former res
ident of Newnan, having moved to
Greenville only a short time ago. He
was 35 years of age, and is survived by
his wife and one child. The funeral
took place Monday morning at 10
o'clock, from the First Methodist
church. The interment was at Oak
Hill.

“It was a great trip, and I enjoyed
every minute of it, but was awfully
glad to get back to old Georgia and to
my Newnan friends.
“Hats? O, there are all kinds of
hats, as in all seasons, but the small
shapes seem to be in greatest demand;
—in fact, it iB the thing, but few large
hats being shown. All the fall styles
seem to call for small hats. The earlier
fall models are developed in matine and
soft, flimsy stuffs. This is something
new in the millinery line, and particu
larly pleasing to misses and younger
matrons. Where the brim hat is used
the brim is turned up, either at the side,
back, or side-back,- giving a very pret
ty effect. It looked for a time as if
this would be a black-and-white season,
but now all colors seem to be good, al
though black and black-and-white are
still much in vogue. The fussy evening
hat has passed into the discard, and is
no longer worn by tasteful dressers,
Of course, 1 try to make everv hat
have an individuality of its own. That’s
what the woman demands, and, with
the styles for this season, this individ
uality can be more easily given, for the
hats are all smart and chic."
