KEEP UP THE FIGHT
J. Phil Campbell, of the State Col¬
lege of Agricultuif*. writes:
“The extreme dry weather of Ju¬
ly and August in a greater portion
of the State may continue until frost.
In that case, there will be few wee¬
vils, except by spots to go into win¬
ter quarters. On the other hand, rains
have occurred practically all over the
State the first week in September.
The danger is that the rains will be
frequent enough to start a new
growth of cotton and raise a new
crop of weevils which will go into
winter quarters in a young and vig¬
orous state. It is not only possible
but quite probable that boll weevil
damage next year will be more se¬
vere than this year has been. Furth¬
ermore, farmers should take all pre¬
cautions to clean up hibernating
quarters and also destroy the cotton
stalks as far as possible.
“A liberal supply of calcium arse¬
nate should also be kept on hand or
provided early for next year’s poi¬
soning.

CENTRAL ASKS PUBLIC TO
HELP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC
That the Central of Georgia is
making preparations to hundle n
heavy traffic this fall and is rely¬
ing on the public to cooperate in pre¬
venting delay or interruption to busi¬
ness is the statement of L. A. Downs,
president of the railroad, who takes
an optimistic view of conditions.
President Downs points out that
this section has a larger cotton crop
than in a number of years, that it
is being rapidly marketed, and that
conditions of supply and demand
justify a good price. He refers to oth
er agricultural products, which have
brought increased returns to the
farmer, and shows how an increase
in the purchasing power of the farm
er stimulates transportation, retail
trade, and brings about good times.
The Central of Georgia has just
placed an order for new locomotives,
in accordance with its program of
adding to its equipment and keeping
all of its facilities in first-class con
dition. Mr. Downs says that 92 per
cent of the road’s locomotives and
94 per cent of the freight cars are in
good order, and that shop forces are
being increased to better this excel
lant condition.
The railroad president asks the
cooperation of the public in loading
cars to capacity, loading and unload¬
ing cars promptly, and ordering only
sufficient equipment to fill their dai¬
ly needs. He states that already there
are no idle cars on the Central of
Georgia and warns the consumers of
coal to avoid the danger of delay by
providing immediately fijr their win¬
ter requirements. He says that the
Central of Georgia is willing and
able to give satisfaetbry service and
thanks the public for its cooperation
in the past.

JESSE IS^ERCER’S FAMILY
BIBLE FOUND IN RUBBISH
Macon, Sept., 10.—Beneath the
rubbish and trash in a library attic
on the Mercer University campus has
been found the 110 year old family
Bible of Jesse Mercer, founder of
the college bearing his name. The
family record, scriptural
and u sermon outline found in the
book are in the handwriting of the
noted divine.
Of peculiar interest about Jesse
Me rcer’s second wife, Mrs. Nancy
Simons Mercer, whose record is in
j the old Bible, is the fact that she was
, the widow of a Jew, Abram Simons,
and with the money she inherited
from her Jewish husband, Mercer
founded the Baptist college. The
Mercer family lived in what is now
Wilkes County, Georgia, Penfield
being the first site of the universi
j ty.
Another rare book, tt Two Grey
, Tourists,” a novel of Georgia life by
. Richard Malcolm Johnston, Mercer
alumnus, was recently unearthed
here. Johnston was one of the out
American literary figures of
the early 19th century and this copy
0 f his boo is thought to be the only
one in print today.

FREED NEGROES WERE
ONCE BIG SLAVE OWNERS
Almost one-seventh of the negro
population of the United States were
free before the emancipation result¬
ing from the civil war, we are told
by the Journal of Negro History.
Even as early as 1830 there were
thousands of free negroes, and the
astonishing fact appears that as
many as 4,500 of these were them¬
selves slave owners!
“The census records show, >> the
Journal says, “that the majority of
the negro owners of slaves were such

I began taking Black

with it stretches over a
good long time,” says Mr.
Joo A. Blakemore, a Civil
War veteran, now a promi¬

“It is the best laxative I
know of for old people. . .
A good many years ago, in
Virginia, I used to get bili¬

from the point of view of philanthro¬
py. In many instances the husband
purchased the wife or vice versa.
The slaves of negroes were in
some cases the children of a free
father who had purchased his wife,
| if he did not thereafter emancipate
| the mother, as so. many such hus
bands failed to do, his own children
were born his slaves and were thus
reported by the enumerators. Some
{) f these husbands considered it ad
visable to put tneir wives on proba¬
tion for a few years, and if they did
not find them satistactory they would
sell them.
