LAURENS COUNTY PLANS !
100000 BOND ISSUE

DUBLIN, Ca, Aug. 6.-Reconsidera-
ton has been given by the commission
'ers of roads and revenues Of Laurens
county to the resolution authorizing a
bond election on August 30, for the is
suance of road bonds to the extent of
100000, and they have adopted a reso-
luton calling for a bonds election on
September for 100000 worth of bonds
for the Improvement of roads and
bridges, and also $4,000 worth of bonds
for establishing a mechanical, agricul-
tural, normal, and industrial school. This
latter amount will be voted only upon
the condition that similar sum is rails
ed by subscription.
Each one of these items will be voted
on separately, so that II one is opposed
no opposition WHY develop to the other
one. Although 1t is known that many
are opposed to the issuance of the road
bonds, 1t is believed that the question
will carry by a safe majority In the
election. If the bonds are ratified. the
expenditure of the money will be in
charge of a commission.
1t is not believed that the school bonds
will be opposed. The friends of the road
bonds win wage a heated campaign.

JACKSON, Ca. Aug. 6-what is be-
lieved to be the real Texas boil weevil
was found on the farm of L. II. Fincher
on the L. d. Watson place Friday. The
specimen was shown to several people

shared by Commissioner of Agriculture
T. G. Hudson, who was present Friday
at the Farmers institute and to whom
the bug was shown. He said he thought
1t was the boil weevil and that 1t looked
like it, but that he was not sure and
advised the sending the bug TO the state
entomologist in Atlanta.
This was done and a report win soon
be had.
Mr. Fincher reports he has beer seeing
similar bugs here for several years and
that they play havoc with cotton in
wet years. The supposed weevil was
caught on a cotton boil which he had
bored Other farmers in different sec
tions Of the county report seeing bugs

a large quantity of gas but to private

1t is officially stated that the empe-

of the danger of infection. The illness
of her majesty, which was at first de.

in a feverish inflammation of the tom
sils. It is not considered dangerous.
but the empress is confined to her room
