WILL WAGE WAR C7l WORMS.
State Entomoogist Begins Vigorous
Campaign AGAINST Pest.

Atlanta, Aug. 13.-A systematic cam
paign will be waged against the army
worms in the southern portions Of the
state by the department of entimoIogy.
State EntomoIogist Smith has already
begun vigorous tactics which have
ben devastating the crops in the yicin-
ity Of Albany and Americus
Letters have been sent out suggest
ing remedies to exterminate worms.
It is recommended by the state eutO-
mologist that planters run long bur
rows with a plow wherever the worms
are found in the grass in which the
worms will fall. They can then be
easily destroyed by burning grass or
straw over them.
Another method suggested is to
check the advance of the worms 0y
sprinkIing the grass with poison.
AS the worms will go into the
ground during the next two weeks
preparatory to laying their eggs for
future genera lions, it is wise that they
be destroyed before they can disap-
pear.
Assistant EntOmOlOgisr a c. Lewis
has been in South Georgia for several
days investigating the conditions. and
several specimens Of the worms have
been forwarded to the department.

a Square Deal

Is assured you when you buy one of DR..
Pierce's family medicines-for all the in
gradients entering into them are printed
on the bottle-wrappers and their formula
are atteSted under oath as being complete
and correct. You know just what you are
paying for and that the ingredients are
gathered from Natures laboratory, being
selected from the most valuable native
medicinal roots found growing in our
American forests and while potent to cure
are perfectly harmless even to the most
delicate women and children. Not drop
of alcohol enters into their composition.
A much better agent is used both for ex
tracing and preserving the medicinal
principles used in them, viz.-pure triple
refined glycerine. This agent possesses
intrinsic medicinal properties of its own,
being most valuable anti-septic and anti
ferment, nutritive and soothing demul-

Glycerine plays an important part in
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery in
the cure of indigestion, dyspepsia and

DOUBLE FARE CAUSED TROUBLE.
Justice Gayner Says Transit Comsany
Has No Right to Demand 1t.

New York, Aug 13-The disturb

police Commissioner O'Keefe and the
Brooklyn police looked forward to
Sunday because of Justice Gaynor's
statement of Saturday that Brooklyn
Rapid Transit company did not have
a right to demand double fare to the
island, took place on schedule time.
They lasted from early morning un-
til early Monday morning, when the
overwrought nerves of the people per-
mitted a panic following a shooting
affray in which four persons were
dangerously injured by an unknown
man, who escaped. At daylight be-
lated ones were still making their
way to the city.
More than quarter of a million
people started to Coney Island during
the day, ana most of them got there,
but only after they had passed
through trying EXPERIENCES. And
while this enormous crowd was fight
ing its way to the pleasure resort
incidentally making the rcord day Of
the summer-cars were stalled in lines
that extended for miles, while the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit conductors
argued and pleaded with passengers
to pay the second fare and finally
wound up by dragging ObstreperOus
passengers from the cars and throwing
them into the streets by thousands.
The company did this with the aid
of 250 special policemn and a corps
Of inspectors. A similar number of
regular policemen were on hand and
they tried to preserve order but fail
ed to do SO.
Men, women and children were
forcibly elected from the cars; from
$4,000 to 10000 were compelled to
walk for distances Of from 1 to
miles.
The first steps were taken in scores
of damage suits, and the Brooklyn
Rapid Transsit's men defied Deputy
Police Commissioner O'Keefe, of the
city of Brooklyn Lawyers and the
lawyers clerks swarmed about the
points where passengers were put off
and took names Of witnesses.
AS an outcome of the days doings,
a committee of citizens is being form
ed in Brooklyn to enforce Justice Gay
nors ruling. Sheriff Flaherty, Of the
county of Kings, was informed late
Sunday night of the purpose of the
committee intended to call on him as
sheriff to protect them as citizens in
uphOlling their rights.
