Itinerary of the Boil Weevill

The Savannah News tells it's read CTS that the boil weevil will enter the cotton fields of Georgia "in the next two years" It is well to induce the farmers of any cotton state to get ready to meet the boil weevil. Farm CTS should make plans against its coming.
 Nevertheless no boil weevils will enter Georgia 'in the next two years" At least five years will be consumed in crossing Alabama. Thus far the pest has scarcely found lodge- ment in the cotton fields of this state. The weevils in the neighborhood of Mobile must go hungry, for there is precious little cotton grown down there. When the insect has traversed the blackbelt of Alabama it will be ready to cross the Chattahoochee in earnest and with the spirit of con quest in it's Mexican eyes. That time is at lest five years away, no matter what Georgia's commissioner of. ag- riculture and entomologist may say to the contrary.
 The News is, however, right when it urges the cotton farmers of Geor- gia to get ready to fight the great enemy of the cotton plant. Diversi- fication of crops cannot be begun too soon. Nor can a study of the pest be too thorough. How best to get the better of it is indeed a problem, and five years is perhaps none too long a course of study for the war fare that is sure to come.

THE TELEPHONE GIRL,

From the New York Times.
 Two telephone operators, both very young women. helped to save many lives in Austin when the Bayless dam broke. Miss Lyons sat by her switch board in Austin, after she had been told that the flood was approaching, sent the alarm which set mill whistles blowing, and called up many residents of the town in time for them to escape with their lives. She also sent two warning messages to Costello before her wires were damaged. Miss Binckey, another operator, warned all persons she could reach, and held her post until she had barely time to save her own life. These girls deserve to be remem- bered with gratitude by the survivors of the flood.
 The same day a telephone operator at Dixon, IL, was subjected to an ordeal of another sort, which tested her fidel- ity as severely, and exhibited her as a heroine Miss Webster received over the telephone an order for the arrest of her brother on a charge of murder, and was compelled to listen for two
 
 clusively to prove his guilt. He Is a young physician, who has been highly esteemed, and the members of hls fam fly knew little or nothing of the mari tai complications which had impelled him to commit murder She performed her duty faithfully before she suc- cumbed to the physical shock.
 One of the most successful of cur rent plays, "The Woman" treats of the zeal, courage and quick wit of a tele- phone operator, but the dramatist has ina gined nothing more striking than the fidelity and heroism shown by these three young women in the day s work. It is inevitable that the tele- phone girl should generally be regard ed humorously, and presumably her ex- perience leads her to regard the rest of the world in the same way, when she possesses sufficient self control and philosophy to overlook the needless annoyances to which she is subjected. But the girl at the switch board may he called upon, in the performance of her seemingly humble duty, to display high qualities, and the three operators who have lately figured so conspicu- ously in the news were not found wanting when their opportunity came

Woman Suffrage in California

Among other proposed constitu- tional amendments the voters of Cali fnrnia will be asked tomorrow to vote for or against one extending the suf- frage to women. This amendment is bitterly opposed by the magnates of Los Angeles. A committee of 50 has been organized in that city to combat what they call "the new heresy." In many minds any depart ure from old methods is heretical. A reformer is, in their eyes, "heretic," :" which, of course, determines his so- cial status, even if it does not close his mouth.
 And yet it is the testimony of all states that have tested woman suf- frage that women naturally cling to established customs, to tradition, to a well settled order. They are rare ly. radical, and when they are it is because of some evil that comes home to them.
 All these matters are freely dis eussed throughout California in con

No More Generals in the Senate

There are in the United States Senate today four men who were in the Confederate army and four who were in the Union army, as follows:
 Alabama-John Hollis Bankhead, Joseph Forney Johnston, both Con- federate soldiers.
 Delaware-Henry Algernon du Pont, in the Union army, brevet lieu tenant colonel.
 Georgia-Augustus Octavius Ba- con, captain in the Confederate army. Kentucky-William O'Connell Brad ley, joined the Union army.
 Louisiana-John Randolph Thorn ton, private in the Confederate army.
 Minnesota-Knute Nelson, private in the Union army.
 Wyoming-Francis Emery Warren, private in the Union army.
 All entered the army as privates except Senator du Pont, who became a brevet lieutenant colonel. He was probably not at any time a private. Senator Johnston rose to be a cap- tain, although he entered the service as private, as did Senator Bank head. Senator Bankhead was wound ed three times, and Senator Johnston four times.
 The day of generals in the Senate is ended. There are, in fact, very few generals living who saw service in either army of the civil war. This was not so 20 years ago, when there were in the Senate ex-generals from both armies. Privates only is the rule in the Senate nowadays, and it will soon be the rule out of the Senate so rapidly are the ranks of the vet erans on either side thinning out.

MARRYING NAT
tho Nroru York Press.

From the New York Press.
 In certain circles in this city, Chicago and Los Angeles the fear was expressed that Nat C. Goodwin, whose plunges in theatricals. mines and matrimony bring him into the public prints frequently. has married again. The story still is in the rumor stage and Goodwin, who IS In Los Angeles, it is believed, is reported to be busy denying he has married eith- CT Marjorie Rambeau or Margaret Moreland. These two names were con cerned in the rumor, with Miss Ram beau mentioned more often than Miss Moreland.
 Close friends of Goodwin here and In Chicago say they feel sure the rumor is true and they generally favor Miss Rambeau as the fifth Mrs. Goodwin. She was in Goodwin's theatrical company until two weeks ago. Miss Moreland s name is reported to have been spoken of angrily by Edna Goodrich, wife No. 4. when she got her divorce last fall. Nat's other wives were Eliza Weather by. 1877 to 1888; Nella Baker Pease, 1888 to 1891, and Maxine Elliott. 1898 to 1908. Miss Goodrich filled in the in- terval from 1908 to 1910.

High Class Music

"The management of the state fair is to be heartily commended for en- gazing as a special feature Innes' band, but some arrangement should be made by which MT. 1nnes' concerts could be given in a building, separated entirely from popular advertisements" said a citizen last night. While many thous- ands are attracted to the fair by vari- ous vaudeville amusements, thousands go especially to hear the music.
 'In this connection I would like to suggest that MT Innes be engaged for one additional day-next Sunday-in order that we may have a treat in the way of concert music such as we had this Sunday afternoon when mu- sic was the only attraction"

 ed judgment certainly believes that the present reaction is far too general and far too persistent to be explained by merely local or temporary incidents. Pos sibly we are moving down hill toward safer and more stable levels. In such movement there is no cause for uneasi- ness, unless the decline comes so rapidly and suddenly as to make preparedness impossible. Ultimately, such an adjust ment will be beneficial. Steel products, textiles, cotton, building materials, rub Der and other articles are declining. If this downward movement continues 1t will certainly lead to that much desired end. reduced cost of living. Prosperity it should be said, can be found on de- clining commodity markets as well as upon advancing markets, but the win ming of success under such conditions de- bends upon intelligent and prompt ad- justment to changed conditions

From the Washington Post.
 The prospective fistic encounter be. tween the celebrated Jack Johnson ana the universally admired "Bombardier' Wells has been called off in dear ol Lunnon for reasons too numerous to mention. A London dispatch anent the proposed controversy may be of in- terest:
 "The authorities are more concerned with the effect that the probable de- feat of a white man by a negro. would have on the negro subjects of King George, especially those in the domin- | ions beyond the seas"
 It is a high tribute to the submarine and the wireless, this, to acknowledge that the once subjects of Cetewayo and other conquered black soverigns would be stirred to fresh hopes of native rule should the ebon hued champion once more establish his unconquerabl e prowess in the roped arena. But Eng land is ever wise to the point of need less prudence when her suzerainty is open to possible jeopardy
 
 ness as passing vapor with the multi tude, how brief in its duration is the reign of the prize ring champion? We once knew a man who had so far ad- vanced beyond the kalsomining of houses built to be sold that he was per- mitted to paint street cars. In the full ness of pride, and yet cognizant of his brief tenure as master, he cried, An artists life is short, but he can mak e 1t sweet" This summary of quickly vanishing greatness needed only the swelling biceps and this swift upper cut to tell the whole story of the prize fighters career. Their name is legion, who have held the spotlight, only to fade away into nothingness, and among them, saddest of all, was the fate of Dempsey, the Nonpareil. As up-to-date illustrations, there are Martin Costello and Albert Griffo. A few years ago they were classed among the stars of the prize ring. A week ago they were sen- tenced to the Workhouse in New York on the charge of vagrancy. They de- clared they were glad to be arrested since they could no longer care for themselves, except by begging. Each is 45 years of age, and an "old man." according to the standards of pugilism.
 England, therefore, need be in no stew as to the outcome. Black man or white man, the king will soon be dead, Why not give LII Arthur his turn? At worst, he will merely prove the con- tention of John Randolph of Roanoke, who said of one proud of his physical strength, The gentleman boasts of that in which the negro is at least his equal and the jackass his superior"

UNDERWOOD IN THE FIELD
From the Knoxville Sentinel.

From the Knoxville Sentinel.
 Senator Bankhead. in making an- nouncement that Oscar ". Underwood would be a candidate for the demo- cratic presidential nomination, oh served that, wise democrats are not deceiving themselves into the belief that President Taft will be easy to beat"
 Senator Bankhead predicts the col- lapse of the insurgents at the republi- can national convention. Undoubted- ly Taft has a great advantage in the fact that he has another session of congress ahead of him. It is entirely possible that the democrats may not be as we'll handled in this session. If Congress passes a tariff bill and the President signs it. the tariff as an is- sue, to considerable extent at least, will be removed.
 Whether Oscar Underwood is the man for the democratic leadership re- mains to be seen. At any rate Ala bama will arouse some enthusiasm by its support of Its favorite son, and people of other southern states will be glad to see that a southern man is being seriously considered. The ban on a southerner for president no long CT exists. Indeed of the four men most prominently mentioned three were born in the south.
