WEYLER MAKES NO APOLOGIES

II glory in the insults leveled at me
by the Americans and the Cubans,
declared Gen. Valeriano Weyler. he
who was the grim Spanish command
er of the Spaniards in Cuba-he who
built the "trocha," drove within his
lines the hordes of starving Cuban
reconcentrados," and was largely re-
sponsible, in the minds of many. for
the Spanish-American war.
He makes. the statement In the fifth
volume of his book, MY Command IN
Cuba" which has just been published
in Madrid. It is the last of the Sc
ries of volumes, the four previous
ones having followed each other at in
tervals during the past two years.
Weyler makes no apologies for the
acts that caused his name to be ex-
ecrated here and In Cuba, except in so
far as to state that he believes In
justice tempered with severity and
never treated his opponents with un-
merited cruelty.

MAJ. RHoADEs SUCCEEDS BUTT

Maj. Thomas L. Rhoads, who has sue
ceeded the late Maj. Archibald w.
Butt at the presidents chief military
aid, was chosen from the medical
branch of the army service. He is
AZ years old and unmarried, like all
his predecessors. Serving as the pres
ident's aid is one of the most exacting
occupations known, and for that rea-
son a bachelor is invariably given the
post.
Until recently Major Rhoads served
on the medical staff Of the Walter
Reed General hospital, near Bright
wood, suburb of Washington city.
His duties there naturally kept him
from mingling much In the social life
of the capital and restricted the range
of his acquaintance. But that restric-
ton has now been removed, and
Major Rhoads Is making friends rap
idly. He has always been well liked
in army circles He is somewhat old
er In appearance than Major Butt and
has more gravity Of manner. Major
Butts duties since the latter left for
noads had been. assigned as the presi-
left the president selected him to fill
ads appointment was decided as soon

Boil WssVII Crosses
State Line Next Year

A year ago last September The
Macon Telegraph conducted its now
famous boil weevil campaign to ac-
quaint Georgia cotton growers with
all the known facts concerning that
ineradicable pest Of King Cotton.
The prediction was then offered,
substantiiated by State Entomolo-
zist Lee Worsham, who was a mem
Der Of The Telegraph party, and DR..
". D. Hunter, Of Dallas, the gov
eminent expert, and the greatest
living authority on the weeyil. that
it would strike southwestern Geor-
gia two years from that date, il the
dispersion continued at the normal
area annually.
It is till the belief Of Mr.. Wor-
sham that the weevil will cross the
Alabama line and invade a few
counties in the state next year, mn
less unforeseen conditions stay its
approach. This invasion will DC
light, and may not effect more than
a half dozen or even fewer counties
but it will mark the beginning o.
Georgia 'sgreat fight against it. From
preliminary reports Of thegovermen'
bureau in Dallas the weevil is now
approximately two-thirds Of the way
across southern Alabama.
Mr.. Worsham is preparing Z
his campaign Of preparation will
renewed vigor this winter and mex
year. He began work in the south
western counties by forming cottor
clubs among the best farmers Il
many counties. These clubs are
working toward improved varieties
of cotton and early maturing kinds
1t is well established fact now tina
the greatest agency against the wee
vii and the surest way to get goot
yield in spite OF it is by growing
cotton that natures before the wee

1t is the fear that for a period Q
years at any rate the weevil vii
