Will Thomas S. Fielder
Enter Race for Governor?

Atlanta, July 1.-Of course it is
easy to say that Thomas S. Fielder
is going to run for governor. but as
a matter of fact nobody will posi-
lively know whether he will or not
until Wednesday.
The encouragement has frankly
admitted the possibility that he may
enter, and has likewise declared that
the matter is not yet settled. He
will reach his decision today or to-
morrow and will announce it We'd
nesday.
1t is known that certain number
of the old Hoke Smith partisans have
been trying for some time to get a
Hoke Smith candidate into the field
for the reason pure and simple that
John M. Slaton has always been on
the other side of the fence in State
politics.
They have found it difficult task
because Mr.. Slaton is not running
on a partisan or factional platform
and many of his strongest personal
friends are Hoke Smith men.
Practically the whole of the ele-
ment in both of the old factions
which now hope to see factional
lines blotted out is using it's efforts
to prevent Mr.. Fielder from entering
the race as partisan candidate,
feeling that no matter what the re-
suit it would be sure to revive use.

State EntomOlOgist Has
Army Worms Number

Atlanta, Ga, June 30.-"Armv
worm is such picturesque name
for an insect that the little pest
known by this designation has attrac-
ted as much attention by its queer
cognomen as its ravages on Georgia
crops.
One legislator who arrived on the
scene yesterday and who has seen
on his own farm what devastation
the bug can accomplish, ventured
the opinion this morning that the
bug was christened Sherman's hosts
which burned Atlanta and cut their
wide swath to the sea-
But whatever the origin of the
name, State Entomologist Lee Wor-
sham has got the army worms
number" and announces to Georgia
farmers that Paris green or arsenate
of lead are weapons that will prove
surely effective in fighting it.
The army worm is unusually
abundant" says State Entomologist
Worsham, has done great deal of
damage this spring in Georgia, Each
female moth of the army worm de-
posts from 500 to 700 eggs, and
consequently they cover large area
in very short time when conditions
are favorable.
About one pound of Paris green
to the acre is necessary to fight the
worm. The best method of apply
ing is by mixing with four or five
pounds of cheap -four or Stacked
lime and busting it on the plants.
IF arsenate of lead is used, the
powdered form should employed,
1t can be used alone or with an
equantity of -four or air-slacked
lime. 1t should be applied by dust
ing and at the rate of of about three
pounds of arsenate oflead per acre."

Stock OF Dry Goods
Damaged By Fire

The stock of dry goods, shoes
and clothing belonging to the
Jones Dry Goods Company on
east Pine street was considerably
damaged by fire last night, the
same having been discovered at
three o'clock this morning by the
night policeman.
The fire was first discovered in
Dell's furniture store next door to
Jones' place, and upon extinguish-
ing that, which was rather small
job as it had gained no Roadway,
Chief Wilkerson states that he
noticed that instead of clearing
away, the smoke seemed to get
thicker, and upon going round to
the front of the building it was
discovered that Jones' Store was
also burning but there was no APP
pearance of either of the places
having caught fire from the other.
The Department broke open the
front door of Jones' Store and al
though the heat and smoke were
intense forced their way in with
the chemical apparatus and sue
ceeded in extinguishing the fire
without the use of the hose. Thus
is indeed one of the most expert
pieces of fire fighting ever known
in Fitzgerald and the Chief and
the boys are being praised very
highly. The fire in Jones' store
was on one side. of the room, but
as the room was air-tight, the
smoke and heat was terrific and
practically everything was damag
ed more or less. Many garments
were crumbled to pieces without
ever fame touching them. It is
estimated that within FIVE more
minutes the sky light would have
bursted and then the flames would
have had full sway and been be-
Yond control.
Mr.. Jones' stock was worth
about $4,000 and is partially COW
cred by insurance.
Mr.. Dell's stock was not damag-
ed.
