Tuesday about noon when it became
known that little Francis, son of Mr.

critisally ill, and not expected to live,
there was a feeling of awe throughout
the town, mixed with a hope that his
illnesg iwould not prove fatal, but
about one o’clock death claimed him
and his spirtit was wafted Heaven

If sympathy and condolence could
console the bereaved parents under
such trying circumstances, their bur

that their many friends would help

It lg one of those acts of providence
we can’t understand, but are sure
that Francis is a beacon light to
direct his loved ones Heavenward.
The funeral service was conducted
at the Methodist Church, Wednesday
afternoon by Rev. W. H. Clark, and
the remains interred in Douglasvill
Cemetery.

UP TO THE LEGISLATURE
(By Georgia Good Roads Asso.)
Atlanta. Ga.—That a bond issue of
some size is imperative and will be
voted by the legislature for ratifica
tion by the people, appears to be
, realized even by* those members of
the general assembly who have been
opposed to the £75,004,000 bond issue
which has been so strongly urged.
Members of both houses, visiting
Atlanta in advance of the session, de
clare that the state must adop, at this
session some method of raising
highway funds to match the federal
aid appropriations and avoid the cer
tainty of losing these millions from
the government. It is positive that
the public will not stand for additional
taxation, and the bond' plan appears,
they say. to be the only solution
possible.
From general discussion, it appears
that the legislature will favor a bond
issue of moderate size for the purpose
of building state highways and avail
ing the state of the federal aid money.
The Georgia Good Roads Association,
which has been urging the $75,000,000
issue, has issued a statement through
T. G. Farmer, Jr., its managing di
rector, saying it will not arbitrarily
Insist on a $75,000,000 issue if the
members of the legislature believe
after careful consideration that a
lesser amount would meet the situation
Recent figures on gasoline taxes
' and auto licenses bear out the con
tention that the interest and sinking
fund for a $76,000,000^ bond issue
would easily be cared for by- this in
come. without danger of additional
taxation to take care of the bonds.

IN MEMORY OF REV
J. J. SHADIX
Rev. J. J. Shadiv was born April
11th 1840, and departed this life,
Nov. 11- 1921. Age 81 years and
7 months.
He was baptised some time in 1861.
Ordained 1866 or 67. Was received
into the fellow-ship of Mt. Zi.on Bap
tist Church, Douglas County, Ga..
Oct 15th.. 1880, and was dismissed
by letter Feb. 3rd 1906, when he re
moved to the state of Alabama, and
remained there until his death.
He begun serving Mt. Zion Church
as Pastor, Jan. 10, 1880, and served
continuously for 23 years, with the
exception of a part of the year o
1888 and the year 19 when Rev. .1.
R. Brown and Rev. W. M. Kelly
served respecteively.
During this period of time, there
were baptised into the fellow ship of
this church, 144 members. Six of
whom were baptised by the other
two pastors above mentioned. in
1884 he baptised 35, at this church,
and in 1884. 20. , ,
Many great revivals were held at
this and other churches, under his
leader ship.
He was indeed a good citizen, a
true Christian gentleman, a man who
stood for the right and condemned
the wrong. He was also a truecon-
federate soldier, having gone into the
service at the beginning of the war,
and stayed until It closed. He grap
pled with the enemy all this time
without having recevied a single
W °He d was '.also a memher ofi the
Masonid Fraternity.
In his moving away from here, this
church and community, sustained a
great loss, as
did the church and
section of which he was a member,
when he passed into the beyond.
We feil that we can truthfully say
that he is not dead but asleep in Jesus,
where he will awake in the mor’n of
the Resurrection, and will be per
mitted to hear the welcome words,
“Come in thou blessed of my Father,
thou hast been faithful over a few
things in yonder world, I will
niake thee ruler over many.”
Bro. Shadix leaves a wife, 3 boys,
2 girls. 30 grand children and 14 gTeat
grand children togather with a host
of other relatives and friends to mourn
his departure.

Senate, dispatches received here tn-
dny state, United States Senator Wm.
J. Harris, of Georgia, said that every
democratic senator would vote against
a tariff on potash and to put this
important item in fertilizers on the
free list in the tariff bill now before
tile Senate He said that from
fifteen to twenty five republican sena
tors would vote with the democrats on
potash item, which practically assures
the defeat of a tariff on potash in the
senate. Senator Harris said that
practically all bf) the agricultural
L’oc would vote to put potash 011 tne
free list, and that it would mean a
saving of millions of dollars to the
farmers as any tariff would be added
to the cost to the farmer.

can, we will win a victory that will
gladden all our hearts and please our

Atlanta, Ga.,—W. W. Croxton,
passengfer traffic manager pf ,tho
Atlanta, Birmingham and' Atlantic
railway, returned to Atlanta this
morning from Sfc Simon’s Island,
where he has been for several days,
conducting experiments with calcium
arsenate for poisoning the boll weevil.
Prof. B. R. Coad. of Tallulah, La.,
in charge of the United States govern*
■ment experimentsh for combatting
the boll weevil, recommends four -
and in aggravated places five - an*
plications, at intervals of four days;
•that is, the different applications
should be applied as nearly as possible
four days apart and in succession, so
that, inasmuch as the life cycle of the
boll weevil i*, four days, this provides
ample margin for poisoning the
weevil which may he hatched from
eggs that are laid oven a day or two
after the first application of calcium
arsenate is made.
Mr. Croxton stated that cotton to
which applications of calcium arse
nate have been made, by the use of
the Feeny Mule-back Dusters, ap
plied at night when the dew is on
the plants and foliage, a week or
ten days ago, just prior to the heavy
raips- shows a much larger number
of healthy squares and blooms than
the adjoining cotton which had not
been dusted. The benefit from the
use of calcium arsenate in unmistak

enthusiastic about the result obtained
on the Meade cotton farm of the St.
Simon’s Island.
Cotton At Palm Harbor
Mr. Croxton said that the cotton on
the Palm Harbor farm i s well ad
vanced and is fruiting heavily and
will probably make an average of a
bale of cotton, or more, per acre, on
the 125 acres planted :*n Meade Cotton
on St. Simon’s Island this year.
The government and the state agri
cultural agencies rejn^mend using at
least five to seven pounds on each np-
plica* on and the*e should to a mini
mum of four - probably five - appli
cations, four days apart.
The State Board of Entomogy re
cently operated a car of calcium ar
senate between stations along the line
of the A. B. & A. railway and
offered the farmers the privilege of
purchasing this preparation at the
very lmv pried of 9c) /per pound.
Many farmers have availed themselves
of thi s opportunity but there are still
a very large number, it is stated, who
did not do so. These, it is stated*
may communicate! with) the State
Board of Entomology and ascertain
the next date on which calcium arse
nate will be distributed at or pear his
station and if it ig impossible to se
cure thecalcium arsenate in this way
he is advised to try to Secure it
through his local supply merchant and
by all mens begin to use it as soon
as hbout 10 per cent of the squares
are punctured. ^ j
Where To Get Information
If not informed, specifically, an to
the methods of application, farmer*
are advised to call on the County
Agiicultuial Agent or State Bureau
of Entomology at Atlanta for .parti*
tuiars
Mr. Croxton reporti that the cotton
prospects in South Georgia are very
promising. He said the recent rains
have not damaged the cotton in South
Georgia, because it was well advanced
and clean when the rains set in, so
that, with hot weather and sunshine
again in abundance he looks for a
very satisfactory crop, provided far
mers will use combative measures to
retard the ravages of the boll weevil.
These are, v first* h-et points out,
calcium ^rsenate, applied asi pre
viously indicated, and picking up and
burning the punctured or fallen
squares.
