Deafness Cannot Be Cured

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portions of the
ear. There is only one way to cure
deafness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
inf1amed condition of the mucous
lining of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is infiamed you have a rumb
ling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness
is the result, and unless the inflam-
nation can be taken out and this
tube restored to it's normal condi-
tion hearing will be destroyed for
ever! nine cases out of ten are caused
by Catarrh which is nothing but an
inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces. We will give One Hundred
Dollars for any case of Deafness
Caused by Catarrh' that cannot be
cured by Halls Catarrh Cure. Send

The Best Spray

The best spray seems to have been
strong soap solution. There were
several different strengths used; first
one pound of soap to two gallons of
water; second, one pound of soap to
four gallons of water; third one
pound of soap to eight gallons of wa
ter. The soap used was ordinary
laundry soap costing five cents a
pound box, and the water used was
common we'll or hydrant water. Each
OF the three strengths worked very
we'll, giving on count, over IS per cent
killed
Other solutions were used, such as
strong tobacco juices of varying
strength, sulphur, lye, or ptoash and
sulphur, besides sulphur dust and
mixed sulphur and lime dust. OF
these I've and sulphur were second but
not enough to warrant an extensive
trial.

Leaves Turn Red

Leaves infested with the red spider
are bitten off on the under side, and
they probably have their life juices
sucked out as we'll as receive poison
on top and bottom in the infested
area, and this area usually starts near
the base of the leaf, where the stalk
is attached, and spreads out. in a
fan-shaped fashion. This seems prob
ably due to the fact that the spider
crawls up the stems and attacks the
leaf as soon as it reaches it. Anoth
er indication of the same thing is the
fact that the lower leaves turn red
first. 1t seems very probable that the
leaves turn red only some little time
after the spiders have been on them,
for the spiders are mostly found on
the top part of the plant, in what
seems at first to be an uninfested re-
gion.

The Spider Itself

The spider itself is very minute,
being about the size of the point of a
pin. 1t can indeed be seen with the
naked eye, but magnifier or hand
lens is necessary to identify it from
the other plant insects. 1t is not as
its proper name indicates, red, but is
greenish, usually having two black
or brown spots on its tiny body. This
with eight legs, makes it easily dis
tinguishable from other insects. The
scientific name for this species is
Tetranycus Bimaculatus, but this has
not been definitely decided.
Americus times-recorder. [volume] (Americus, Ga.) 1891-current, 1909-07-24
How the Spider Appears

The spider does not apparently at
tack the whole field at once, but ap-
pears in spots here and there. And
from these as a center, it rapidly
spreads in all directions, and if not
successfully combatted, proves a
disastrous pest to the cotton.
1t is not as widespread around
Unadilla as was at first feared, though
many report its presence, and are
anxious to see the experiments and
took great interest in the work going
on at Mr.. Gregory's farm.

APPEAL FOR A LIGHT
Residents Around Lamar and Mayo
Streets Want 1t

Attorney Blalock petitioned Council
on Wednesday night, in behalf of the
residents around Lamar and Mayo
streets, for a light at that corner.
This corner was described as dark
and dangerous 1t was declared that
there had already been a couple of
accidents there and that there was a
probability of the city having dam
age suit at any time if the light was
not put up.
AS a result of the strong plea, and
the conditions existing it is not i'm
probable that a light will remove the
Egyptian darkness Whereabouts.

How to Put on "A Spray

In putting on a spray great care
should be taken to get the plants we'll
covered, especially on the under side,
as the spider lives on the under side
of the leaf. And further, it is most
necessary to spray the topmost leaves
of the plant, even though they show
no signs of the spider. For, although
the pest does not appear here, it was
on the very top where the leaves are
very soft and tender that the spiders
were actually found. In every case
almost without a single exception
when a plant was found infested, the
spiders were mostly found on these
top leaves.

KILLING RED SPIDER

Soap Solution Proves To
Be Best Spray
Experiments Made On
Little Pest i'm Vicin-
ity OF Unadilla
Macon Telegraph.l


The many farmers in the city will
be interested in the results obtained
by Messrs. Pendleton and Reid, of the
chronological department, in their
treatment of the little red spider"
sometimes called red rust" on the
farms in the locality of Unadilla.
These young me nvisited the farms,
on report being made that the spiders
mad appeared there. for the purpose
of investigation and experimenting as
to the best method of determination,
whether by liquid or dry sprays of
various kinds.
Their first work was to lay off
areas, say squares of twenty feet or
more, in the parts of the fields infest-
ed, one area to be treated and the 9TH
er to note the progress of the work
by not being treated. After laying off
these two areas, they gathered a few
leaves from each and counted the
number of spiders on them. This
done, they prepared the various
sprays and applied them. After two
days, the results were noted.
The following is a report of the
work done so far.

THE DEBATE ON THE
BETTER LIGHTS
Aldermen Talked Freely in
Discussion.
How the Proposition
Was Put to Sleep
for Good.

Great interest was naturally arous-
ed in the discussion that took place
IN the City Council on Wednesday
night over the proposition of the
Americas Lighting Company to put in
up-to-date street lights within the
next four weeks if the City would
give it contract to light the city
from now until January /, next, the
company at the present time operat-
ing without a contract.
The discussion that was aroused by
the reading of the proposition was
rather warm, as all discussions in
Council are that hinge on the light
ing of the city. Owing to the gem
eral public interest the Times-Recor-
der publishes the following stenog-
raphic report of the debate which
arose as soon as Alderman Clarke
moved to lay the proposition on the
table,

Results of Red Spider Work

On Thursday morning after the
sprays had been on two days, the
men of the chronological department
made an examination of the cotton
plants to see results. Average typi-
cal plants were selected, one from the
area of each spray, and one from the
unsprayed part. A count of the liv-
ing spiders was then made on these
leaves.

THE Appearance of Pest

The red spider makes known his
appearance by turning the leaves a
reddish brown. Some farmers in the
neighborhood of Unadilla, where the
work was carried on, call this the
red rust But it is not strictly a
rust, which latter is caused by a
fungus

Charged InsinceritY

Aid. Clark: Your Honor, I move
that it be laid on the table.
Aid. Eldridge: l move that it be
referred to the Committee on Lights.
Aid. Allen: This matter is in the
hands of the Court, and it seems to
me that if these people are sincere
and honest they would give US good
lights, which we are rightly and
justly entitled to- They do not need
any contract to do it. While | was
in Florida, their bills were o KID By
this Council for the full amounts,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
service is very poor. The light in
front of my house was out twelve
or thirteen times during the past
month. They do not need a contract,
it is up to them to give us good
lights for which they are we'll paid.
Mr.. Walker: | do not know any
thing at all about Mr.. Aliens state
ment as to the light in front of his
house being out. If the light in ques
ton was out one, two, or ten nights,
it had never been reported. I have
repeatedly requested that We be mott
fed of anything of that sort 1t is
a very easy matter to telephone IN
to the office and we woulR See that
it was attended to at once.
Willing to Take Chances
1t is going to take about six weeks
to get material hefe-a month at the
Ieas, am going North in two or
three days: Ifxis proposition was
put in h1fe tonight, not to be lai1
ont ~1ble Or smothered for a few
weeks, If the people want the new
lights they should give us a contract.
1t is preposterous to say that we
should put these lights in without a
contract. We know that the lights
are not as good as they should be,
but we do not care to spend $4,800.00
with no contract at all; because we
are virtually operating now without
a contract. We are simply operating
under a month to month agreement.
We feel that if the Council here de-
eide that they want the new lights
that they should give us contract
for at least three or four months, or
until matters are decided, which will
not be for six months or year
In the meantime, your lights would
cost you just what they do now.
There is no possibility of getting an
electric plant in this town until the
matter is decided by the Courts and
we are simply offering to put in
these new lights and see what the
people will do next fall towards CIV
ing us a contract.

Putting It DO The People

Mr.. Walker: | do not want to talk

one thing more. We are not offer
ing to put these lamps in here for
the purpose of getting the people with
us. We have been begging Council
since last April or May to allow the
people to vote on Municipal Owner
ship, and we would much prefer to
have the matter decided by vote
before going to the expense of in
stalling the new lights. Council
gave us as a reason for not calling an
election in the Spring, that it would
take too long. This matter could
have been voted upon several times
since then, and yet nothing has been
done We do not believe We need to
install these new lights in order to
get the people with us in this matter
