Short Talks With Men Who
Guides the Plow.
THE BOIL WORM.
BY "UNCLE SAM"

Everybody is discussing the
bill worm and speculating about
his nefarious~wor Uncle Sam
has been talking to some of the
men who guide the plow and has
elicit, d same facts regarding the
boil worm.
The ravages Of the boil worm
seems to be more disastrous on
the black lind, but the crop on
the black land is much better and
earlier than on the sandy land 30
the plants. more able to stand
the thieving of the boil worm,
and as yet the crop on the black
land offers more hope than usual
and the worm will yet have to do
his destructive work in order to
blight the present outlook. While
on the sandy land the worms
have rot materialized to any very
alarming extent, and the boil
worm will yet have to do his
work TO break down the hope of
the men who guide the plow.
was speaking to Mr.. w. Y.
Bagwell, who lives on twelve
mile prairie, and he says that we
have an overwhelming prospect
in ur country and the boil worm
would have a mighty big job to
defeat the cotton crop out his
way. He has 40 acres in corn
that is very fine, (and he pro-
duced two fine ears about 13
inches long) on being asked how
much he thought the yield would
be he refused to talk. Evidently
Mr.. Bagwell has a fine drop of
corn and cotton.
Mr.. Petit who lives near Du-
rant, about 4 miles north, Epeak-
ing of crops said that prospects
for cotton are excellent, but it is
none too late for the boil worms
TO destroy the cotton crop. We
have a few at work but fta, no
alarming extent. To mXorypd
,he sharpshooter is doing more
harm than the boil worm this
% ar.
Mr.. Petit has 80 acres of cot
on and 18 acres of corn, he likes
he principles of the Farmers
lnion and desires to see the farm
'rs organize.

FASTEST MILL EVER SEEN HERE
Is CONTEMPLATED.
BOTH HAVE WORKED HARD
AND BOTH EXPECT TO WIN.
DURANE SAYS HE WILL GO THE
LIMIT AT LIGHTNING SPEED.

He Played All Around FeItz for the
First Eight Rounds of the Last
Contest, and After That Suffered
the Effects of the Extreme Heat.
FeItz Showed Great Form in His
Final Workout MISUNDERSTANDING
Came Up from Warsaw Looking
Brown and Hard.
Jack Durane and Tommy Feltz will
make the fastest boxing contest ever
seen in Savannah tonight if condition
and past indications count for any
thing.
Feltz did his final work at the Ath-
letic Club rooms yesterday afternoon
and exhibited more speed than he has
shown in any of his recent battles. He
says he will take some of the fast
work out of Jack when he starts to-
night. Tommy is still there with the
punch, and will adopt entirely differ
ent tactics tonight.
Most of his work has been done at
the Isle of Hope and on the roads early
in the morning. He has taken off sew
eral pounds and will step into the ring
tonight at something less than lis,
the agreed weight.
Durane in Great Shape.
Jack Durane came up from Warsaw
last night. He has been working hard
and is in great shape. He looked as
brown and hard as a hazel nut, and
says he will be a lots harder to crack
tonight.
Durane's wonderful foot work, and
lightning short arm jabs may do the
work against Feltz. Anyway, there are
hundreds who believe he will beat the
plucky little bantam who has been
victorious over so many foes.
Will Work Fast All the Way.
When asked if he thought he could
keep up the killing pace set in the
first eight rounds of the last contest
Durane smiled and said that in his
present condition he could go fifty and
come out fresh.
There is little probability of a knock
out in to-night's contest. Both men
are too clever for this, and the match
will be one of clean cut, hard hitting
under Ithe most scientific methods
That it will be a bout equal in class
to any that has been pulled off in
this country in months is testified to
by the large number of Northern pap
ers, who will take the contest in de-
| ta!l.
The preliminary will be put on
will commence at 10 o'clock sharp.
