auspices of the Woman's Christian
Union.
Mrs. Armour will be heard this morn
ing at 11:30 o'clock at the Opera House

hear her discuss the issues of the gu

will doubtless be attended by a large
number of out of town people who will

point of hearing Mrs. Armour while
they are in town. With the number OF
local people who wish to hear Mrs.

HAVOC is WROUGHT BY

Visitor in Amerlcus Tells Of
the Pest

"Americus people and the farmers
of Georgia generally do not seem to
realize the danger threatening this
section in the spread here of the boil
weevil" said Mr. T. A. Shingleur, of
Jackson, Miss, who is here for a
short time. the guest of Messrs. Frank
and Henry LaRier.
This dread enemy of the farmer
is coming here as sure as fate" con-
tinued Mr.. Shingleur. land | see moth
ing in the way of preparation where
by to combat it. The weevil has
certainly wrought havoc in our
state"
Mr.. Shingleur has been in the ter
ritory of the Mississippi Delta devas-
tated by the boil weevil, and realizes
fully what the coming of this cotton
destroyer means. In his state, he says
whole fields are ruined by the weeyil,
requiring many acres to make bale
instead of bale per acre.
When they once take a field it is
doomed for many years so far as
cotton growing is concerned
Mr.. Shingleur named one cotton
market in his territory which usual
ly receives about 10000 bales cotton
each season This wear the total re-
ceipts of the town are 10000 bales
ds the direct result of the weeyil in
that territory. Whole fields of APP
parently fine cotton turn out little or
nothing.
1t will be two years yet ere the
weevil marches to Georgia, but his
progress here is sure, though slow.

CITY'S HEALTH
HAS BEEN WELL
LOOKED AFTER
IS AN EXCELLENT RECORD
Board of Health Deserves
Much Credit

Sanitary conditions have seldom
been better than they are at this
time, due to the diligent and persistent
efforts made by the Board of Health
at the suggestion of Dr.. J. w. Cham
bliss. chairman of that body during
latter part of the summer and early
fall
1t was reported yesterday by DR..
Chambliss that no complaints at all
are heard from residents of the city
now concerning unsanitary premises,
or other Objectionable feature. 1t will
be recalled that soon after the paving
work began, there were numerous
complaints of this kind made to the
Board of Health, so numerous were
they at one time in fact, that the
entire time of Sanitary Inspector
Smith was devoted to them in order
to correct these conditions.
1t was also freely PREDICTED when
the paving and sewerage work began
that these improvements would cause
much sickness here. But so thor
oughly have the sanitary regulations
been enforced that the health record
here during August and September,
generally recognized as the most un-
healthful months in the year, was
record-breaker. For this happy con-
dition of affairs great credit is due
to DR.. j. w. Chambliss, chairman OF
the Board; to Mr.. w. B. Smith, sani-
tary Inspector and to the other
members of the Board of Health who
are Messrs. D. NJ. Borum, ]. T. Me"
Lendon, M. n. Edwards, S. r. Heyes,
If. W. Morgan and E. C. Parker.
Now that the paving is being COM
pleted and more sanitary conditions
are easily possible where the streets
are paved, it is the intention of MEM
bers of the board to guard diligently
he public health in the way of keep
ing the pavements clean
