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. ■n%, li, It if mm • Flit JjlMk;. m nt> V i m slip imm / / f % r f Hold anything Back needed ••• Here H j Here) . and it shows A Cow can give milk to her fullest capacity only when fed the right proportion or balance of milk¬ making materials.

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.

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. ■o 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 APPLES—DIRECT TO CONSUMER FROM ORCHARDS.

Blakemore, a Civil War veteran, now a promi¬ nent citizen of Floyd, Tex. “It is the best laxative I know of for old people. . . A good many years ago, in Virginia, I used to get bili¬ ous and I found that l». BLACK-DRAUGHT was the best and quickest relief I could get. Since I came to Texas I have these bilious attacks every now and then—and I find a M little Black-Draught soon Ag straightens me out. After a few doses, in little or no time I’m all right again.” . Thedf ord’s Black Draught acts on the stom ach, liver and bowels in a gentle, natural way, as¬ sisting digestion and re¬ lieving constipation. EX-102 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.
