MANY THOUSANDS
BOLLWORMS HERE,
Are Destroying The Cotton
Bolls.
MANY FIELDS THUS INFESTED.
Samples Brought in Yesterday Were
Pronounced The Common But Des-
tructive BoIIworm. 1t is Doing Much
Damage Here.

Some apprehension as to the safety
of the cotton crop was caused in Ameri-
Gus yesterday morning when farmers
from different portions of the county
brought in specimens of cotton which,
as they supposed, had been attacked
by the Texas boil weevil.
HaG this been true our goose would
have been cooked, indeed.
These were the supposed weevils-
thousands of them and the rapidity
with which they worked would have
put to shame the many Migrants her g
IN Americas.
Upon every stalk exhibited were
dozens of cotton bolls, literally ruined.
The bolIworm, for such the insect prov
ed to be, has attacked many fields here
and wrought vast damage to the cot
ton. But, after all, it was not the
Texas destroyer.
The bollworm is bad enough, but is
not to be compared with the Texas
boil weevil.
Mr.. @. s. S. Horn says his planta-
ton is literally swarming with the boil
worms. Mr.. r. j. Perry and other
farmers also showed samples of cotton
similarly infested.
Warehousemen and others who ex-
amired the worms brought in yester-
day declared them the common but de-
structive bollTorm. They are frequent
visitors here, but never in such num-
bers as at present. And they will do
considerable damage.
Whenever they bore into boil it is
completely destroyed.
Some of the parties interested still
insist that the pests are boil weeYils,
and to the end of determining the mat
ter they will send box of bolls and
worms to the Agricultural Bureau at
Washington, and another to the New
York exchange.
Farmers whose fields have been in.
tested with caterplllars state that the
insects, the second crop, are now web
bling, and the third crop Will appear
shortly.

1-4e Ingenious Magpie.

The magpie is nothing if not ingen-
iOus. He always barbados his bulky
nest with thorn branches, so that to
plumber il is by no means an easy mat
ter, but when circumstances oblige the
''pie" to build in a low bush or hedge
an absence of lofty trees being a mark
ed feature of some northern localities
he not only interlaces his home, but
also the entire bush, in a most formula
BILE manner. Nor does he stop here. To
make assurance double sure" he fash
ions means of exit as well as entrance
to the castle, so that if disturbed he
can slip out by his back door, as it
were.

1t has indeed been many long years
since the first day of September usher
ed in more prosperous season for the
merchants of Americas, the farmers of
south Georgia and our people general
~ than that which dawns upon us this
morning.
Look back if you will; examine the
records, and then successfully deny
the statement.
Not in a quarter century has cotton
sold here for twelve and half cents;
not in a decade have MFR chants and
farmers been in better fix financially,
Bounteous crops, now ripe unto the
harvest, promise great reward for
the industrious farmer. Our cotton
crop is good; very good; while not IN
ten years has there been such enor-
nous crops of corn, hay, cane, pota'
toes and other commodities.
Providence has again smiled upon
this Eden this Egypt-and unexam-
pied prosperity comes to bless the peo-
pie.
With such favorable conditions ex-
istent, the merchant prospers, and
with him those in other pursuits. The
Times Recorder has never seen our
business men in better spirits or more
hopeful of season of prosperity for
our people here.
And the Times Recorder joins them
in the feeling of felicity.
From one years end TO the other it
stands for them and their interests,
with those of our county and section,
ever toiIing for the greatest good to
the greatest number.
With this day, September LIST. the
season of busy fall trade opens. 1t is,
in fact, the beginning of the business
year with us here and we hope, and
believe, that when the end is reached
after the holidays all will be satisfied
with results.
May it be the busiest and best fall
season Americus has ever known in all
of her career,

An 1mpromptu Explanation.

The learned Person was staying at
one time with a well known canon Of
Ely named jeremiah King. One day
at dinner, when they had got into dis
cussion upon questions Of etymology,
Person gave a derivation which King
considered to be so farfetched as to be
quite ridiculous. "You might as well
say" said King, that my name is con-
nected with cucumber" Possibly there
was a cucumber on the table. "And so
it is" said Person. "How soT' asked
King. "Why, thus: jeremiah King, by
contraction Jerry King; Jerry King, by
contFgction ard metathesis Gherkin,
and gherkin, we know, is a cucumber
picked"

when Robespierre Was ~stune.v

Under the terror Robespierre used to
play a peaceful game of chess at the
Cafe Regence, and the story is told of
a youth who once challenged him and
beat him twice. Robespierre, after his
defeat asked how much he owed, no
stakes having been previously fixed.
The supposed youth, who in reality was
a girl in mans clothes, presented an or,
der for the release of her lover from
prison, and Robespierre signed it. Ma,

was seen at the famous cafe, but he
