UNGRATEFUL pROHfS.
Do Not Appreciate What the Demo-
cratic Party Has Done for
Them in Georgia.

Are the prohibitionists of Georgia
ungrateful for what the democratic
party of the state has done for them?
The fact that the prohibitionists have
put out an electoral ticket in Georgia
makes it look that way. The prohl-
bitionists should understand that the
democratic party of Georgia is par
ticularly anxious this year that the
national democratic ticket shall poll
a large vote. They should also I'M
derstand that the democratic party
has done more for them than they
alone could have accomplished for
themselves in a dozen years, or may
be quarter of a century, with the
very best luck. And yet the prohi-
bitionists have taken the field in
Georgia against the success of the
national democratic ticket, which is
inimical to the interests of the party
that so lately helped them to a great
victory Savannah News.

ARE BLUE ABOUT WEEvIL
ENEMY OF COTTON FIELD CUE
TING CROP PROSPECTS.
Next Year Mississippi Farmers WIFE
Diversity Crop in an Effort to
Drive Out the Pest.

A Jackson, Miss, dispatch says
farmers in YazO0 and Madison couR-
ties believe that their cotton fields
have been invaded by the Mexican
boil weevi, and have asked that ia
special agent of the United States
department of agriculture be sent to
investigate.
An insect that strikingly resem-
bles the pictures 8f the boil weevil
sent out in the government literature
on the subject are very much in evil
dence in the cotton fields, and are
playing havoc with the crop.
In other sections 1T is reported that
the crop condition is very discourag-
ing and extremely unfavorable.
The young bolls are falling off and
in some places blight has made an
appearance and is dgfng some dam
age.
The dreadful boil worm has made
it's appearance and is doing irrepara-
BILE damage. Not since 1887 has the
boil worm been so numerous and de-
structive. Every field shows the ter
rible ravages of these myriads Of
voracious worms
The farmers are feeling decidedly
downcast over the short crop. They
say their only hope is that the price
will be good. Many farmers will
suffer greatly if the price of cotton
is not unusually good.
The plant, as rule, was late, and
the July crop was not very heavy.
The dry, hot weather, east winds
and cool nights have played havoc
with all of the late growth. Shed
ding has been general throughout
the state and more marked than ever
known before.
There is practically no crop left
now except that made in July, and
so much of the acreage being late
makes the July crop, when taken as
a whole in the state, exceedingly
light.
Through some sections of the
state the crop is not SO good as last
year, while in others it is slightly
better. Considering these conditions,
in connection with the fact that there
is a slightly reduced acreage from
last year, it is hardly possible for
this crop to be anything like the
crop of last year.
But the farmers are being i'm
pressed with the belief that the in
vasion of the Mexican boil weevil
will prove a blessing in diguise.
They are now making preparations
to diversity their crops, to intensity
farming operations, and what acre
age is devoted to cotton in the future
will be titled in accordance with the
cultural process to hasten maturity.

applications from convicts now serving
terms in the penitentiary have been
filed with it.
Convicts evidently read the daily pa
pers for no sooner had 1t been an
adopted tentative rules and regulations
to govern applications for parole, than
applications for benefits under it be-
gan to pour in from those who con-
sidered that they came within the
definition laid down.
Already since the new law was
passed the prison commission and gov
ernor have pardoned more than 90
convicts who had served considerable
time on their sentences Some of them
were life term men who had served
from 10 to 80 years.
1t is probable that the parole sys-
tenn will let out to freedom twice s
many moro as soon as it goes into oper
alton. This will be Just as soon as
the rules and regulations are finally
agreed upon and approved by the gov
ernor. 1t is anticipated that it will
be soon after January l.
This will cut down at the start the
will have to dispose by 100 or more,
and as many more will probably go
out during the year 1909. So it is
probable that by the end of 1909, un-
less the penitentiary force is material
ly increased in the meantime, there will
be only about 200e felony. convicts for
distribution among the counties. The
state now has approximately 1900.

Mayoralty Situation.

As strange as it may seem-but then
there is no accounting for political
drifts-the near beer dealers have dur
ing the last few days been turning
away from James G. Woodward and
coming to Robert F. Maddox for At
lantais next mayor. There are some
200 or more of these establishments,
each with it's employees, and 1T has been
supposed heretofore that they would
solidly support Woodward on the as
sumption that his election would mean
considerably more of wideopen town
than if Maddox should be the mayor.
But by a peculiar process of reas-
oning. they have come to precisely the
opposite view so far as they are con-
cerned. They have figured out, 1t is
said that the election of Woodward
would be so obnoxious to the law and
order forces of the city that one of
the first things that element would do
would be to pounce upon the near beer
resorts and CHI eek them up to such an
extent that they would be practically
put out of business.
On the other hand they take the view
that if Maddox was elected. the ele-
ment which has been making 1t hot
for the near beer crowd would take 1t
for granted that the law would be en-
forced, and there would be no attempt
to disturb their status quo
Then, too there is something In the
belief that woodward is doomed to
defeat and that it is better for business
reasons to be on the winning side AS
a matter of fact, however, this element
will not cut much figure In the cleo
tion one way or another.
1t is now impossible to get even
money on Woodward. The WOODWARD
people are demanding two for one and
some of them are holding OH Tor even
higher odds.
Notwith standing this the MADDOX
people are working as II they had much
at stake and are after every possible
vote thew can secure. The chief DIFF
fculty which they have to overcome is
the feeling in certain quarters that
Woodward should be supported In spite
of everything because he is the pri-
mary nominee. Some of the best cltl-
zens of Atlanta insist upon this view.

DEFICIT IN THE
STATE TREASURY
Georgia Has Problems For The
New Administration
BIENNIAL SESSIONS PLEA
Necessity for Economy Is Factor In
Advocacy of Legislative Sessions
Every Two Years Instead of
Being Held Annually.

Atlanta, November 24-(Speeial) -Dis-
cussing the deficit in the state treas
ury which, it has been stated, would be
close to sl,OOO,00o next year, when the new
administration takes hold of it, State
| Treasurer r. Z. Park said today that
what he has said with regard to the mat
ter was intended simply as caution and
as warning with a view to preparing
the public mind for a serious situation
which he trusts may not come to pass.
Il have been watching the income and
! the outgo of the treasury carefully for the
last nine years." he said and at this
time there is only s66216.s4 in the treas
ury of which $4,000 is borrowed money,
! leaving really as the result of taxes and
other income only SIG 266 "a, with several
warrants due before the close of the
month";
In December the larger part of the
states income will come into the treas
ury, and it will have no difficulty in meet
ing the $4,000 due the pensioners before
the holidays. So far I have paid only
50 per cent of the amount due the school
teachers of the state. leaving due them
from incoming taxes Is per cent, or $780,
co., and with the beginning of the year
the pensioners will be due in round num-
bers and in a lump sum about $4,000.
1.-The rapid payment of all these just
claims upon the treasury will certainly
cause a great depletion in the amount
received and in my judgment, honestly
formed from past experience and present
outlook, will cause a large deficit which
the wisdom of the incoming legislature
may rectify or remedy.
That the danger is present I cannot
doubt. still l would rejoice to find that
my fears are groundless. A short time
will definitely show whether my appre-
tensions are correct, and while l hope for
the best believe that frankness and can
dor are due to the pensioners, the teachers
and other beneficiaries of legislative appro-
priations"
