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 CotnmuiucaUxi. 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. J. H.

ARNALL MERCHANDISE COMPANY "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. Therefore, before buying your fall supplies come and get the prices of “The Store That Undersells.” I. C. ARNALL MERCHANDISE COMPANY Administrator’s Sale.
