INSECT MAKES A 75-MILE HOP
Enemy of Fleecy Crop Expected
to Push Just as Far Next Year
and Year After.
By CHARLES A. WHITTLE.
Georgia State College of Agriculture.
The boll weevil has landed in
Georgia. He has made his hop of
from 50’ to 75 miles. Next season
he will measure another zone that
wide to have and to hold his cot
ton, and so on till there is no more
cotton for him to hop into.
The fight is on in Georgia. It
may be said to be inaugurated active
ly to-morrow with the invasion of
weevil territory by about 25 farm
demonstration agents of Georgia, who
are working along the western bord
er of the State of Georgia.
The party is gathering at St.
Charles Hotel in New Orleans to
day ready to start out to-morrow
over Louisiana, where the weevil is
being met.
Wirfl Study the Pest.
To get acquainted with the wee
vil, to see how he operates, what
damage he does, when he is active,
and to observe how the Louisiana
farmers are fighting him. or standing
him off so to speak, as far as they
are able while the cotton matures,
and to get at all the best prac
tices of agriculture under boll weevil
conditions, will engross the attention
of the boll weevil scouts for the next
ten days.
This scouting party is being taken
out by the United States Department
of Agriculture, which is operating
through the State College of Agri
culture of Georgia, using the farm
demonstration agents of the Depart
ment of Agriculture and the college.
Making use of the opportunity af
forded. the Department of Agricul
ture of the State of Georgia is send
ing along representatives, including
Assistant Commissioner Hughes and
State Entomologist Worsham. This
department received an appropriation
from the recent Legislature for pro
pagating a variety of cotton which
Professor Worsham has developed
that it is claimed is resistant to
wilt and largely resistant to the boll
weevil.
Campbell on Scene.
Prof. J. Phil Campbell. State agent
in charge of farm demonstration
agents, boys’ corn clubs and girls’
clubs, has headed the party of boll
weevil scouts to weevil territory. In
each State where investigations will
be conducted, the State agent will
map out an itinerary for the party.
Mr. Evans, of the Department of
Agriculture at Washington, will have
general direction of the trip and
will accompany the party, represent
ing Hon. Bradford Kna.pp, who is
chief in charge of all the farm
demonstration work in the South.

Girl Charges That Suitor Broke
Engagement on Ground That
Brother Had Tuberculosis.
CHICAGO, Sept. 8.—The first suit
to test the law of eugenics has been
brought by Miss Rose Markewsky, of
No. 907 Myrtle street. She filed,
through her attorney, Clarence A.
Toolen, a bill for $25,000 against
Charles F. Drucker. of No. 92s South
Ashland avenue, charging that he
broke their engagement on the ground
that her older brother has tubercu
losis.
“This so-called chivalrous excuse of
Mr. Drucker may be eugenics, but I
can not see it,” declared Miss Mar
kewsky.
“The very idea of his resorting to
these tactics is not only contemptible
but ridiculous. Why did not he show
a spark of manhood and ask to be
released from his engagement with
out trumping up such an absurd ex
cuse.
“If eugenics enters into the case at
all, 1 feel confident that any jury
would make the breaking of the en
gagement optional with. me. I can
play better golf and tennis than Mr.
Drucker. In fact, I think any vio
lent exercise test. He could not even
stand the physical test for the police
department.
“Wait until my so-called invalid
brother hears about this—that’s all.
Mr. Drucker can not trifle with my
affections and expect to get away with
impunity. This suit is not for revenge
but to give Mr. Drucker an opportuni
ty for serious meditation in future
years.”
CONTRACT LET FOR ALBANY
COUNTRY CLUBHOUSE
ALBANY, Sept. 6.—A contract has
been let for the new club house of the
Albany Country Club, to be erected on
its grounds north of the city, and to
cost, when completed, about $8,000. The
plans for the club house were prepared
by Charles Edwin Choate, an Atlanta
architect, and the contract for its erec
tion has been awarded to R. S. Smith,
of this city.
The splendid success and remark
able attendance record that was made
by the Jewell Kelley Company last
week at the Bijou is establishing this
organization as one of the most popu
lar that has ever entertained Atlauta
theater-goers.
The play that has been selected for
the third week, which will begin with
the matinee to-morrow afternoon, will
beyond a doubt be the best offering
of the company so far. The play will
be a stirring comedy-drama of four
acts, “My Dixie Girl.” with the scenes
laid in a little village in the Ken
tucky mountains. the home of the in
teresting Kentucky feudists.
The various members of the com
pany will have strong roles. Jewell
Kelley will play the part of Charles
Melville, and Rose Morris will im
personate Grace Hopkins. There are
two negro characters in the play that
will furnish considerable comedy, and
Eddie Black will have one of his fa
mous parts. Dink Botts.

ment of an increase of Its capital

COMO, ITALY, Sept. 6.—Some
thing of the cheerful indifference of
Porter Charlton seems gone. The
young American, awaiting trial on
the charge that he killed his beauti
ful wife shortly after their marriage
three years ago, has grown nervous
under the strain of the exacting third
degree of the Italian police.
More than once the delicate-seem
ing youth has been on the verge of
collapse when the police remorseless
ly plied him with questions, and, in
the sinister way that belongs to no
one else but Italian police, sought
to break his nerve.
But only when his father entered
his cell, a day or two ago, did any
thing like an actual break of nerve
occur. Then the young man threw
himself on his father’s breast and
cried like a baby. The father. Judge
Paul Charlton, was shaken also by
the demonstration, but not to such an
extent as was his son.
Away from the police, however,
Charlton seems to collect himself.
He has made himself as comfortable
as possible in his cell in St. Domi
nick prison, laying in a supply of his
favorite tobacco, obtaining a book in
which he purposes to keep a diary,
and devoting himself to the study of
Italian. His father has joined him in
learning the language, that the two
might easily follow the course of the
trial.
Charlton will be put on trial in No
vember, until which time he will be
| forced to undergo the fearful ordeal
j of an Italian police inquisition. The
refinement of cruelty, it is said, at- I
I tends this experience, and every pres-
I sure is brought to bear on the prls- |
I oner, from the gantlet of a thou-
I sand questions to solitary imprison
ment in dingy, filthy dungeons. Many
prisoners have been known become
raving maniacs under the system.
During all his three years of con-
| finement in a New Jersey jail Charl
ton w’as building up his health by
careful living and frequent exercise.
He seemed all the time to be obsessed
by the fear of the ordeal in Italy, al
though none except the most careful
observers could observe the dread.
Newbro’s Herpicide
We want everyone to become acquainted with a hair preparation
that not only promises to do certain things, but does them. We want
every person having trouble with their hair to t>ecome familiar with
the merits of Newbro’s Herpicide, to experience its subtle but ex
quisite odor and to see the beautifying effect which it 1ms upon
the hair.
There is a germ or microbe which lodges in the scalp and the
result is the scale-like accumulation we call dandruff. That dandruff
is due to a germ is no longer a theory, but a scientifically established
fact. The existence of this germ was proven by M. Sabouraud, an
eminent French scientist, who inoculated a rabbit with human
dandruff, causing the rabbit to become denuded of hair in six weeks.
A similar demonstration with a guinea pig was later made by Drs.
Lesser and Bishop in England. The fact that Newbro’s Herpicide is
compounded in harmony with the germ theory of dandruff accounts
for its extraordinary success in the treatment of this ailment.
Thousands of users have found Herpicide most dependable for
the eradication of dandruff, to stop itching of the scalp and to pre
vent falling hair. It receives the highest endorsements. The re
sults attending its intelligent use are a revelation and stamp New
bro’s Herpicide as wonderfully reliable.
Newbro’s Herpicide is always positive in its action. Every
promise made for it in the advertising, on the label or by the dealer
who sells it, is backed up by one hundred per cent of the most pleas
ing and satisfying efficiency.
To convince yourself of the wonderful hair-saving and beauti
fying qualities of this scalp prophylactic, send ten cents in postage
or silver, to cover cost of packing and mailing, to The Herpicide
Company, Dept. 72 B, Detroit, Michigan, for trial size bottle of,
Herpicide, also a valuable booklet on the care of the hair. . .
