THE EXTRA SESSION.
There ouifht not to have been any
necessity for an extra session of the
Legislature; and there would have been
none if that body had given diligent at
tention to its busineaa the pant summer.
Instead of doing so, much time for which
the State of Georgia was paying the
members of the General Assembly to
look after its interest was given to
making speeches, and killing time in
other ways. But we are to have an ex
tra session. In fact, we must have
one. Georgia will have to shut up
shop on the first of January unless the
running expenses of the State are
legally provided for. The uppermost
question in the minds of most citizens
now is: What matters shall he in
cluded in the call of Gov. Harris for an
extraordinary meeting of the body?
Of course, the appropriation bills must
be included. But for the failure of
the Legislature to pas* these, an extra
session would not he necessary.
But we do not believe the proposed
amendments to the prohibition law
should be included. This belief is not
the result of any indifference on the
part of The Herald as to the enforce
ment of the present statutes, or the re
motest opposition to prohibition. We
are sure the present law ought to be
enforced, and re-enforced. But the
session of the Legislature to be called
is to meet an emergency; and amend
ments to the prohibition laws of the
State are not legal emergencies, what
ever they may be morally. To bring
this question into the work of the Leg
islature wi uld, in all probability, lead
to indefinite wrangling. The body
would have no limit to its sitting, and
if it wasted time at the regular session,
when it must adjourn in fifty days,
what will it do with the limit taken off?
If the advocates of prohibition wLh
to take this question finally and fully
out of the politics of Georgia, let them
insist on u Constitutional amendment
forbidding the manufacture, sale or
importation for commercial purposes of
all alcoholic drinks. The people of
Georgia wunt prohibition, and this is
the surest way of getting it. Cntil we
huve Constitutional prohibition the
question will be a very Banquo’a ghost
in State politics.
THE ROLL WEEVIL.
This unconquered and seemingly un
conquerable pest has at last made its
way into Georgia. Press dispatches re
port that it has appeared in Southwest
Georgia.
It is late coming. It was due three
years ago. Possibly it wiii be as lute
going.
Its delay in arriving has given the
State Department of Agriculture lime
to prepare for its appearance; and
Hon. Leb Worsham, Stato Entomolo
gist, has done all that could be done to
prevent its ravages whan it did come
or, at least, to lessen its destructive
work.
One of the steps urged upon planters
in the district where it has made its
appearance, and which it is believed
will prevent its rapid increase, is to
pick out all the cotton that may open
as rapidly as passible, and then to pull
up the weevil infested stalks the first
of October and burn them.
One or two facts about the boll
weevil are now understood. One of
these iB that it does its work, or
the most of it, on late cott in. It
-comes late in the summer say about
the first of August, or a little later-
anil thus strikes the cotton when the
plant is maturing its Iruit most rapidly.
The remedy, therefore, so far us there
seems to be any remedy, is to push the
crop to ninturity as early as possible.
It is a question not fully settled as
yet. wo believe, as to whether this sec
tion of Georgia is seriously threatened
by the weevil. Its field up to this
time seems to be in the far southern
portions of the cotton belt. It is pos
sible and we certainly hope this may
be the case -that the cold winters of
Northern and Middle Georgia will pre
vent serious depredations in those sec
tions. But it will be well to get ready
for this unwelcome invader

What About a County Fair?
Why not have a one-day fair for Cow
eta this fall? This is one ef the best
ways known to arouse enthusiasm
among the farmers of our county, us
well »s the business men of Newman
A good display of farm products, live
stock, and home handiwork would be a
real boost for the town and county.
The leading counties of Georgia and
other States are holding fairs every
year, and they find it the best way to
encourage the improvement of rural
conditions. There is no reason why
Coweta should not fall in line ami do
all she cun for the good of agricut ure.
The farmers of Coweta have something
to show, and they are willing to do it;
so let’s co-operate with them, as well
as with the club boys and girls, by huv-
ing a one-day fair this fall.

"The Store Thai Underbuys,”
For the past year times have been hard, and
people have been cramped for money.
During these times our buyers have been on the
alert, and have succeeded in getting a great many
bargains, which we wish to share with our cus
tomers.
We feel now that our people have successfully
passed the crisis of the late “hard times” by putting
their shoulders to the wheel and by the use of econ
omy.
And by the restored confidence in mankind
we believe that we are “blooming” into one of
the most prosperous fall seasons the country has ex
perienced in years.
But we must not let the better times make
us lose sight of the importance of using economy.
We must spend our money where it will buy
the most goods and get the best values.
