NO END DFB
DEADLOCK SEEN
(
(
Turk Envoys Present Maximum
Proposal. Differing Far From
Demands.
i
LoN'DirN, Dev. 28. The deadlock in ,
the Turko-Balkan peace conference re
mains unbroken. After a session of an ,
hour and 4a minutes in St. James pal
ace today the envoys adjourned until
Monday without any progress having ,
been made.
A dark outlook prevalle when lite
delegates resumed their session after a
four-day recess. Reehld Pasha, of the
ottoman delegation, who presided at
the meeting, submitted Turkey's maxi
mum proposals to offset the maximum
demands of the allies
The margin of difference between the
two notes was so great as to cause
much doubt whether the deadlock
would be broken soon.
Allies Stand Firm.
The allies are standing firm upon
their contention tli.it Tuikrj shall not
be allowed to retain more than a foot
hold on Europe, whereas the ottoman
plenipotentiaries ridicule this proposi
tion, saying "that Turkey should not be
deprived of territory site was valiant
ly defending when tin armistlc. put an
end to hostilities."
Representatives oft! . allies se. . to
feel assured that the powers will sup
port them in their demands Hut while
this view lends hope to tin Balkan
envoys, they do not minimize the stiff
ness of the struggh ahead.
One of the Balkan envois is quoted
as saving that "it may be three weeks
before a compromise is i cached." So
far as can be learned, the Ottoman en
voj s had not reached an agi cement
upon any point at issue up to the hour
of tin- meeting al noon Imlay
Austria Arising Again.
Interest was divided hen between
the pi|o' conference and the present
attitude of the Austrian government.
According to Vienna initios. the ten
sion between Austria and Servin is
again tightening ami Austria has ceased
demobilizing. Austria is still maintain
ing a big armed force on the Servian
frontier and has gin n assurances to
'tic other powers that site will continue
•<> keep an arm) there until guarantees
are given by Senia that the \driatlc
port of Duiazzo w ill be relinquished.

SEARCHING SIDELIGHTS
ON GEORGIA POLITICS
B/ JAMES B. NEVIN.
In a modest ami entirely non-.'pec- 1
taeular suit of way, E. Lee Worsham, i
the state entomologist, is doing a great |
f. -
work for Georgia.
Mr. Worsham. ,
besides being an
expert bugologist
—which is near-
English for the
other word—is a
genuine Luther
Burbank in his
own peculiar way.
ami moves niys
teriously now and
then his wonders
to perform.
The state ento
mologist's latest
achievement is ot
great importance
to Georgia, anil is
: I suie to be far
J reaching in eon-
. st qttence. He has succeeded in devel
• I oping a strain of cotton that will meet
I the ra.pidly approaching boll weevil
conditions by comparatively early ma
turity and immunity from black root
and tin wilt disease.
This strain of cotton, developed suc
[|cessfully after months of patient ex
periment by Mr. Worsham, promises to
be the most valuable stiain in the
world.
In undertaking to prepare Georgia
for the coming of the boll weevil, sev -
era! varieties of early maturing cotton
i might have been advised, were it not
, ; for the fact that practically every
i known vatiety is subject to attacks of
the wilt disease. In seeking to over- (
come this objection. M , Worsham un
| dertook to cross long staple Egyptian
i cotton with an early "Dixie," and the
I experiment was a complete success.
The engaging thing about the new
, cotton, too, is that it may be grown
j anywhere in the South, has a very long
staple', and ought to sell around twenty
cents pet pound.
i The department has only < ultivated
one acre of the new cotton this year,
. and the seed for distribution will be
limited. However, .Mr. Worsham has
arranged to try it out in 25 south Geor-
| gia counties next season, among the
. I more progressive iarme: s.
The Georgia legislature builded wiser
. than it knew when it set up the state
t department of entomology. It is esti
. | mated conservatively that the depart
'ment is saving the farmers of the state ■
I j now from $25,000,000 to $30,000,000 each
' j year, and it will make an even liner .
I record as time runs on. It has been
i able to show the farmers of the state
many ways- to destroy and eradicate
| destructive insects, and no.w it has
, | found one way. at least, to combat the
boll weevil successfully.
One most commendable thing about
the department of entomology is the
fact that it has been kept out of poll

Elected president of the Southern
Conservation congress in Atlanta In
1910, Mi. Wo sliani since'has been hon

h‘ rtieultura; lines, hot only in Georgia
but throughout the South.
Di. it. 1 . Rudicil, of Chattooga eoun.
ty. a former representative ami senator
in th, state legislature, who passed
away at his home 11 ar Summerville a
lew da.vs ago, was m.e o1 the veterans
of Georgia polities, ami was genuinely
mid universally beloved by the hun
dreds of colleagues with whom, from
time to time, he was associat' d in tile
state's servit < .
Dr. Rudici was, besides being a wise
and able legislator, a physician of the
old school, and possessed of all those
arts of gentleness and refinement char
acterizing that class of citizens. He
generally was sent to the legislature
w ithout opp isitfcm, whenever he could
be preVai.cd upon to run, and on more
than one occasion was the compro
mis ■ candidate upon whom warring
factions united in order to keep the
peace of the community intact.
He was in many ways Chattooga
county's "grand old man," and his
death, after many years of conspicu
ous usefulness, will occasion much sor
row throughout Georgia.
Dr. Rudicil was the father-in-law of
former Judge W. M. Henry, of the Rome
circuit.

outside of a few restrictions as to
netting, keeping off prescribed terri
tory. and retn* inhering the Sabbath
day to keep il holy, there are few
“don'ts" attaching to the fish laws.
i'nder the present order of tilings,
the fish liar, therefore, seems to have
an advantage over the limit liar. With
Game Warden Jesse Mercer on the
wan ath, there isn’t much chance for
the latter to put things over—but un
der the fish law. the fisherman still
may tell how tile biggest one got away,

who pulls off startling stunts and
amazing performances, the field of en
deavor still is wide and alluring. Jesse
