THE NEW WATERMELON hug.
Mr.. ID. W. COquiIIet On His Way TO
Pelham 20 Investigate Its RavaEes.

Mr.. D. w Coquillet, a specialist Of the
DIVISION OF entomology OF the department
OF agriculture. arrived in the city yes
terday from Washington on his way to
Pelham. Ga, where he goes to look
into the matter of the destruction of the
watermelon plant by the new bug recent
" discovered in that section.
The visit Of Mr.. Coquillet is the result
OF some correspondence between Mr.. +.
b .Papy. division freight agent Of the
Plant system, with Mr. Charles W. Dab
ney, assistant secretary Of the depart
ment Of agriculture. Mr.. Papy was first
interested in the matter by Mr. j. l..
Hand OF Pelham. who plants there about
200 acres OF melons every year. Mr.. Hand
described the pest which has recently
attacked the WatermelOns as little black
Dug, winch eats the outer skin OF the
vine Just under the ground, and also
white worm, which eats the stem or root
under the ground. The bug, il seems, is
accompanied by the worm.
This is an entirely new pest to the
melon crop, and one which, 10 seems,
promises to do serious damage unless
II is checked. Mr.. Hand stated in his
letter that 10 was necessary 10 have some
thing done Immediately to remedy the
evil which seemed to be spreading. This
bug and worm, whatever they are, are
something with which the department
has never had to deal heretofore. Mr..
COqulllet SAID yesterday that he had never
heard OF the bug until now, and from the
description given he had no idea what
IL was, as no specimen had been sent
on in the request for an investigation
sent to the department. He said he would
make a thorough investigation of the
bugs, and endeavor to discover what
remedies can be. used to ex-
probably remain in Pelham for
some days, and his address while there
viii be care of Mr.. J. /. Hand. He said
that the worst trouble with which the
peaches and pears of this section had 10
contend was the San Jose scale, which
has been Imported from California On
nursery stock Mr.. Coquillet has made
an extensive study of these subjects and
says he will be glad to visit any section
where there is any trouble from plant
diseases or insects and furnish what ad-
vice with regard to remedies he can.
AS about $500 to 1900 cars of melons
are raised right in that section every year,
anything looking to the protection of the
plant VIII be matter of Importance to
all who are in any way interested. in
the course of the correspondence Mr.
Papy also wrote Assistant Secretary DAB
ney with regard to another disease not
caused by insects which has attacked the
watermelon plant, and which has made
its appearance in South Carolina, as well
as in Georgia. This disease, the assistant
secretary writes, will be investigated later
in the season.
Mr. Coquillet leaves the city this morn
ing for Pelham, via the Savannah. Flor
ida and Western railroad. AS he has
studied the usbject of plant-attacking
insects for some years, il is likely that
trouble. The fact that the department
IS taking so prompt and active an inter-
est in the agricultural products of this
section VIII be appreciated.

1t Happened Yesterday.

A business man got out his life policies,
on which he had made many payments.
to negotiate loan with the company. He
was surprised when informed that the
policies had no cash value whatever.
The Massachusetts Mutual Life Insur-
ance Company Endorses cash and paid-up
values for every year after the first. on
every policy. 1t costs no more to have
this advantage.
Another important fact is, that every
year, beginning with the anniversary Of
the first, the company pays q large diyi-
dend, which the policy holder, at his on
ton, can use to reduce his premium pay
ments, or can allow to accumulate in
which case the policy is credited with
the amount of paid-up insurance which
the dividend will purchase, so that in
case of death his beneficiary will not only

TO THE RESCUE OF PARENTS.
Particularly Those who Haven't
Much Money.

Much Money.
These times are very trying to all classes
of our people. and most Of all to those
families who are blessed with one or more
boys. At the beginning of each season
the question of the hour in many house
holds is the buying of new outfits for the
young folks and a nice penny it takes, too,
as many of our readers can testify.
Where there is but one boy in house
to equip, it is comparatively "easy sail
ing" but when two or three or four young
sters of graduated ages are to be rugged
out, the matter not infrequently assumes
a problematical aspect.
1t is just to meet such crisis as the
latter, that the big clOthiers, b. H. Levy
& Bro. have evolved the pleasant solu-
ton set forth on page fSre of the News
this morning. AS all are aware, their
level prices on clothing are always at
low water mark, but to help out struggling
families in there piping times OF money
scarcity they make additional reductions
on their lines of boys clothing. that will
cause much rejoicing in many family cir
cles. 1t is hardly necessary to comment
on the positive sincerity of these enter
prising clothiers, as it is household his
tory that they always live up to, and
away beyond, every promise.
This is no scheme to work off, old
stock. no hooks baited to catch gudgeon"
but a bona-fide desire to help those who
have large families, to tide over the fast
waning period of depression.
As the special reduction and the addi-
ional regular cash discount Of ten per
cent" brings the goods to cost, and in
many instances below cost. The sale is
limited to this week only.
There is not single excuse left now
for not buying your boys summer outfits
at the leading clothing house in Savannah
The quality and variety of boys suits is
practically unlimited and no where else
can little money produce equal returns
to the economical investor.-ad.

A POLICY HOLDERS, COMPANY.
The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company of Newark, New jersey.

The Mutual Benefit Life Insurance
Company of Newark, New Jersey.
This great company is nifty years old; a
purely mutual company, and is giving very
very large returns to policy holders an
nually. This company is paying 10 the for
tuDate ones who hold their policies in Sa-
vannah dividend of nearly 10 per cent.
on the ordinary life plan. and nearly Il
per cent on the twenty payment plan, for
the first year they have been insured.
What other company in the country is do
ing this?
Look at the low expense of management
OF the Mutual Benefit. We are not on the
still hunt for life insurance, but solicit
competition.
This company loans larger amounts of
money to its members than any other COM
pany. There are provisions in this CO.
tract whereby you cannot lose your in
surance in case of adversely. You can
use your dividends to reduce your pay
ments from year to year, or leave them
with the company to increase the amount
OF your policy.
Every policy holder of the Mutual Bene-
nj Is its friend. Don't be misled by long
terms or tOntine plan offered by other
companies which YOU agree TO surrender
all your accumulated dividends to the
company, in case OF your death during the
certain period. say fifteen or twenty years.
Life insurance is protection, pure and
simple. Get the largest protection for the
least money consistent with absolute
safety.
The Mutual Benefit give more options
to its policy holders than any other COM
pany. Everything is guaranteed in the
policy Look at any other company s
plans you wish, and then give me chance
to show you the difference. l will save
you money, and make you more contented
with your life insurance.
1t is too often the case that life insur-
ance is taken from personal consideration
for the agent Don't let any personal con-
sideration influence you.
Companies that are now issuing tontine
policies are not doing so from choice.
They cannot afford to show their hand
by giving an account of their failing divi-
dends.
Who would buy railroad stock and from
choice wait twenty years for a dividend.
The annual distribution plan is the origi-
nal mode of life insurance, and how very
few companies have been able to adhere
to this form of insurance.
I can verify the good results of this great
company by some of the most prominent
people in Savannah and elsewhere.
Be wise, and give me a chance to make
a comparison before you select your com
pany. A. L. Shellman, District Agent.

SENT A TRUsTY AFTER HIM.
A COnvict-Detective Says the weldon
Negro Is Not Small.


The man arrested at Weldon, n. c.. is
not Abe Small. As much was expected
and so the disappointment is not great
isaac Wilson, colored. who was sent
TO Weldon by Chief McDermott, arrived
back yesterday with the information that
the man arrested at Weldon was not the
murderer of Policeman Neve.
There is an interesting little story in
connection with Wilson and his trip TO
Weldon Wilson Is a trusty at the jail,
where he is serving out six months SEN
tence on the charge of assault with in
tent to murder. He is the man who in
formed the police of the whereabouts
of Small after the shooting of Detective
HUMPHREYS by the latter. The attempt of
the police to capture Small resulted in
the killing of Policeman Neve.
Wilson afterward assisted the police in
their search for Small. The interest taken
by him in the matter brought down upon
him the wrath of the disorderly class of
his own race and got him into trouble.
In an alteration arising out of this mat
ter which he had with another negro
he did his opponent up with a stick. for
which he was arrested and sentenced to
six months in Jail Sheriff Roman made
a trusty of him, and frequently sent
him out into the city on errands.
Owing to the circumstances, Chief Nc
Dermott thought Wilson the best man
to send to Weldon to identify Small. He
was willing to trust him, and so was
Sheriff Roman. Solicitor General Fraser
permission was secured and Wilson was
dispatched on his errand to North Caro-
lima After reporting the result Of his
trip to Chief McDermott, he returned to
the JAIL where he now is. 1t is prob
ably the first Instance on record where
a convict serving his sentence was sent
out of the state on important business
by the officers OF the peace. Wilson has
only month more of his sentence to
serve.
