The grand jury of Stewart county
has recommended a bond issue of
100000 for road building. 1t would
be money well spent if work of a
permanent character was done. In
all probability more money is vast
ed on road work in Georgia than
on any other one thing. as nearly
every rain of any consequence leaves
the roads in as bad condition as ever
and they have to be worked again
at heavy expense.

Capt. McWilliamS Is Enthusiastic
Over County Fair and Fair Sex.
Editor of Dawson News: A man
who rode fifty miles to see and hear
Alexander H. Stephens speak said:
Nothing about that little man but
lungs and brains, and he is the big
gest little man I ever saw" And
the Terrell County Fair was the big
gest little fair l ever saw. OF course,
Macon had a greater display, and
more ladies, and everything else.
but none better, prettier, or more
persevering than the good ladies Of
Dawson and Terrell county. Too
much cannot be said or written in
their praise. | wish to thank the
good ladies of the fair for courtesies
extended to me. While the task as
signed to me and other members
of the committee was not by any
means an enviable position, yet we
did the very best we could under
the circumstances, and we regretted
so much that we could not give to
each and every competitor a prize,
which was so richly deserved. I am
proud to see the interest manifested
in charging the fair, and trust
that the school children who COM
pete for prizes in the future will
each and every one get a prize. How
ever small it may be, give every one
a prize, for everyone of those little
boys and young ladies who spoke
merited a prize.
To the good ladies generally 7
tip my best hat, make my most DO
lite bow and most politely salute
you; most especially to Miss Belle
Cheatham and Mrs Hammond for
placing me upon so important a COM
mittee, and to Mrs. A. J. Hill for
remembering us old veterans of the
Standardization A. Lewis, Col. B.
H. Brown and myself-in mining
the confederate flag upon us and
giving us that ride in the procession
OF automobiles, knowing as she did
that she was making a great sacri-
nee which would cause her to
miss the prize, as the sight of
this trio would be the death
knell to that. But her car
was beside the prize winner. and of
course next to it. The car itself
was all right, but the sight of us old
veterans would ruin the appearance
OF anything. But we most certainly
enjoyed the ride, and as long as we
remember anything will never for
get Hon. A. J. Hill and Miss Glen.
Long since would l have lain
down my pen never to WELD it
again had ! not been ENCOURAGED
by angelic woman to press on. When
woman ceases to exist there will be
nothing left on earth to court NV
stay. When angelic woman ceases
to throw around me her influence
and the magic of her charms nv
fancy will wander no more to the
lovely Leander and Stake it's thirst
and cool its fevered brow in the
placid waters of the Cephisus. 7
should sit no longer under the mines
of Trascoti. or promenade the silent
groves of Pythagoras. The valley Of
Tempe, the garlands of Helicon and
the laurels that bloom on the brow
OF Parnassas, though for ages and
centuries have been consecrated and
sacred to the muses., will have lost
all their wOnted charms.

GET READY FOR THE wEEvIL.

The announcement is made that
the boil weevil is within 80 miles
of the Alabama line, and is making
straight for that state at a pace that
will insure its presence in it's cotton
fields early next year-that is the
cotton fields of a part of the state.
There is talk of conventions to dis
cuss measures for arresting the prog
ress of the pest, and for agreeing
upon the best methods for limiting
the damage it does. There is GER
tainly no objection to the proposed
conventions, but. as the Savannah
News says, it isn't clear that they can
accomplish anything.
The wise course, continues our
contemporary, would seem to be to
get all the available information
from Texas as to the methods adopt
ed there for limiting the evil of the
insect, and publish it in the newspa-
pers and in pamphlet form so that it
would reach every cotton farmer in
this and the adjoining states. 1t is
doubtful if as much could be accom-
plished by conventions.
There is no known remedy for the
evil. There is no known way to stop
the progress of the weevil. A way
may be discovered some of these days
to fight the weevil so successfully
that it will cease to be a menace to
the cotton crop. Large rewards have
been offered for a remedy for the
evil and scientists have given weeks
and months to the study of the prob
lem which the pest presents, but re-
wards haven't brought the desired
remedy and the scientists have been
compelled to admit that the problem
is as yet beyond their solution.
In a couple of years we NAV ex-
pect the weevil to invade Georgia. In
fact, it may make it's appearance
next year. Of the fact of its com
ing, however, there is no doubt.
