COTTON PESTS NUMEROUS
State EntomOlOgist Visits This Sec
ton, and Says Boil Worms Are
Worse Than CaterpilIars.

The Albany Herald of Friday print
ed this interesting item:
Mr.. E. L. Worsham, state entomol-
ogist, is spending the day here, look
ing into conditions throughout this
section as regards various cotton
pests, which have developed abund-
antly this season as a result OF the
unusually wet weather of the spring
and summer.
Mr.. Worsham says that the recent
wet spell has kept back the develop
ment of the cotton caterpillar, which
is now in it's second brood, and it
will not do as much damage as had
been feared.
The most damage it will inf1ct, ne
says, will be to young cotton, but
most of the crop is so well developed
that little damage will result.
The cotton boil worm, says Mr..
Worsham, is doing more damage
than the cotton caterpillar. In some
sections of South Georgia millions
upon millions of boil worm moths
can be seen in the cotton fields, and
the worms have done great damage.
For both of these pests the arsen-
ate of lead treatment is the best
remedy, according to Mr.. Worsham.

A FORMER BLUE RIDGE FUSS
A UNIQUE Verdict Eight Years Ago
When Morris Contested Election
of Gober Because of Fraud.


ATLANTA.-The Patterson-Morris
contest that has just been decided by
the state democratic committee
brings to mind a similar case which
engaged the attention of the state
committee some eight years ago. At
that time Judge n. A. Morris, one of
the principals in the present contest,
was contesting the election of Judge
George F. Gober, his predecessor of
the Blue Ridge circuit.
Judge Morris claimed Gober s
friends in Fannin county had con-
Quoted a fraudulent election against
him and he carried the contest to the
state convention just as did Colonel
Patterson, who has just contested
Morris election. The state conven-
ton of eight years ago did just as
did the convention of last week. 1t
referred the contest to the state eX-
ecutive committee.
In deciding the Morris-Gober con-
test the state committee adopted
most unique resolution. The where
asses were to the effect that any fraud
which might have been practiced in
Fannin in the interest of Judge Co
Der was offset by possible fraud prac-
ticed in Gilmer in behalf of Judge
Morris. 1t was, therefore, resolved
that under the circumstances the
committee did not feel justified in
going behind the returns as reported
by the various county committees.
This decision served to throw out
Judge Morris contest and Judge Go
Der became the nominee, and OF
course was elected in the regular
election

COMMISSION IS HESITATING

RAILROAD MILEAGE BILL.
The Belief Is Strong That Governor
Brown Was Correct in His
Veto of the Bill.

ATLANTA.-With all the fuss
that has been kicked up over GOV.
Browns veto of the mileage Dill II
is considered extremely doubtful II
the railroad commission after all It's
hearings will attempt to pass an or
der requiring that RAILROADS pull mile
age on their trains.
In fact, it is understood tnat GER
tain members of the commission do
not think they have the authority 10
issue such an order, nor did they
think the legislature could pass such
a law and make it stick. Che OF the
ATTORNEYS for the travelling men who
are petitioning for such an order
expressed a similar view to the COM
mission.
The principle is, according to the
statement made of it, that the com
mission, after saying that 2 IL cents
shall be the maximum rate of passen-
ger fare, has no authority to pre-
scribe the conditions under which
tickets shall be sold at lower rate
or cents mile.
But it seems to be conceded that
the commission has the authority to
say that if the railroads sell mileage
at all, no matter at what rate, they
shall accept it on their trains in ex-
change for transportation. If the
commission should issue such an or
der as this it would then be up to
the railroads to decide whether they
would continue to issue mileage, &C
cepting the condition fixed by the
commission, or to abandon the sale
of mileage altogether, requiring ev-
eryone to buy a straight ticket.
1t is generally believed that such
an order would at least result in the
withdrawal of all interchangeab
mileage, which is good on six or
eight different lines, and enables the
travelling man to reach almost any
point in the state; and that if the
sale of mileage were continued at all
it would be good only on the indi-
vidual lines. That is what the rail-

NO LIMIT TO LUXURY

Price Which Men of Wealth Pay for
SumptuOus Homes Mounts High
Into the Mazes of Figures. As
Much as $40, 900 in One Instance.
Some ten years ago a man of great
wealth startled the country by nav

had rented a suite of rooms in a FlIth
avenue hotel in New York city Tor
which he had agreed to put up a
yearly rental of 100000, the price to
include all service except food. he
was well known for his sporting
blood, and it was therefore no sur
prise to many, who wisely argued
that the real figure would not exceed
the half of that sum. Even thls'
however, represented what was at
mat time considered very large
sum to pay out for yearly rental
OF home. To the uniformed TINS
man was at once adjudged Croesus'
and especially so since it was further
announced that this suite would be
occupied as his home only during d

HIGH RENTS FOR SWELL APART MENTS

year various builders planned such
houses in different parts of the city
Ten years ago when a building was
erected in which rents ranged from
$1,000 to $4,000 year it was hailed
as the hight OF luxury, but its reign
was short. for each succeeding year
brought something more expensive
until the present one, in which was
erected the most expensive house in
the city, where the minimum rental
is $4,000 a year, and a number OF
tenants have taken suites which Will
cost them $25, 900 year.
This gradual progression in rents
makes almost certain the fact that
there is no limit to which apartments
NAV go. The builder who is daring
enough to reproduce number OF
we'll known mansions within the four
walls of an apartment may expect
to be well paid for his work, for there
probably will be enough people III
the big city who for business or So
cia1 reasons will desire the apart
ments.
For the man who can afford such
an apartment there is great deal OF
relief in having that kind OF nome
and the expense is no greater but
rather less than that of a private
dwelling having like convenience.
In the modern apartment house all
those cares which go with the own
ership of real estate are passed on TO
the owner. The conveniences OF the
place are there always without worry
on the tenants part. 1t Is just
matter of paying rent, and the land
lord assumes all burdens.
Top Figure for Rent.
The highest rent in New York at
present is said to be paid by Alfred
Vanderbilt for the apartment when
has been reserved for him in the
new Vanderbilt Hotel. the ngure
there is said to be $4,000 year,
and the apartment is to cover practl-
cally all of two floors. he has not
vet beer in it, though the hotel mas
been open for some time.
1t has been said on various occa-
sions that the rentals for apartments
in Manhattan are advancing so rap
idly that soon the man of moderate
means will have nowhere to live.
Like the butcher, the clothler, the
automobile maker the builder caters
to public sentiment. He has erected
his extravagant buildings because
people demanded them and were
willing to pay high rents for them.
For a time certain improvements are
considered sufficient to make living
entirely comfortable and tenants pay
the highest rentals asked for apart
ments containing them. Soon, how
ever, comes something just a little
more convenient and comfortable,
adding another amount to the cost
of a house, and people are willing
to pay for it.
In the end, of course, the cost of
all this luxury comes from the
purses of those who really produce
wealth by their hard and unfagging
labor. and one may be pardoned for
wondering if they enjoy being thus
exploited.

She Can't Be Induced to Lay Eggs
Anywhere But in the Parlor.
Another chicken story has been
given to the public at Waycross, and
Judging by the source of the informa-
ton it is reliable. a pet chicken, one
of the ruffied-feathered kind, started
laying recently, about the time all
the other hens in the yard stopped.
Then all of a sudden the rufied hens
nest could not be located. Although
a search that covered the entire yard
was made no signs of eggs could be
found. Sickness in the family made
it imperative that fresh eggs should
be obtained, at least an egg day.
Then a youngster found some eggs
in the parlor fireplace. The ruffied
hen had found her way into the
house, and for some time used the
fireplace for a nest. Those in the
home were afraid to break up hel
habit for fear they would get nc
more eggs.

or would prefer to do without it.
