The boll weevil and army worm has al
ready invaded South Georgia. They are com
ing here. Get prepared to fight them. Use
Calcium Arsenate, it is the best remedy yet
found and a good crop of cotton can be
raised if the poison is used, but unless
you use poison the weevil and army worm
will destroy your crop. This is the expe
rience of our best farm leaders, and we
pass it on to you for what it is worth.

- LIN WOOD SCHOOL CLOSES
WITH APPROPRIATE PROGRAM
The program staged at the Linwood
' Auditorium on last Wednesday even
• ing brought forth much favorable
' comment. Long before the time set for
| it to begin, the auditorium was packed
! to overflowing while many were forc
• ed to stand in the rear and on the out
side of the building. The exercises be
: ghn with a chorus followed by an in
spirational address by the Superin
tendent of the Consolidated Textile-
Corporation. Next came a play which
reflected much credit on each one tak-
I ing part. Folk dancing by several
. small girls was quite a pleasing numr
. ber as was also the chorus by twelve
■ boys.
The last number on the program
was an operetta, which proved a decid
ed success. The stage with its wild,
woodsy decorations and the children
taking part skillfully costumed to rep
resent leves, roses, birds, butterflies
and other inhabitants of the woods,
furnished a very pleasing and attract
ive scene.
The school officials desire to express
their appreciation of the efficient
I work done by the teachers and the
; community worker in presenting this
-| program. xx
