WENT TO LOUISIANA
TO SEE SITUATION
Party Tells Of Wee
vii Invasion

Athens, Ga, Sept. 16.-The Georgia
boil weevil scouts who have been
meeting his worst in Louisiana and
Mississippi and studying its habits an6
how the best fight is to be waged have
returned.
Prof. j. Phil Campbell, who was i'll
charge of the expedition, arrived herr
yesterday. He stated that the trip
was profitable and the dissemination
of the information gained by the agents
among the farmers they believe Will
aid very materially in meeting the
weevil when it reaches Georgia in
numbers great enough to do damage
The best information, it is stated,
was obtained in Louisiana, where the
conditions are not dissimilar to those
of south Georgia. They found, III
Franklin parish especially, that the
weevil was being as successfully
fought as it is possible to fight it. As
@ consequence of united and en-
ergetic fight on the part of all the
farmers of the parish, the cotton will
average from three-fourths to a bale
to an acre. The farmers in that terri
tory claim that they are able to male
about three-fourths of a crop by harl
fighting of weevils,- and that if they
did not fight the weevil they would
make no cotton at all.
One parish that was visited previ-
ously grew $4,000 bales of cotton, but
when the weevil got in its work, tho
bales dropped to only 500 Now that
the farmers have learned how to fight
the weevil they have gone back to rails
ing about 10000 bales of cotton.
All the methods which have been
used were thoroughly studied in the
field, and questions were asked of the
farmers.
1t is stated that the greatest assist
ance and most valuable information
received on the trip was that which
was received from l.. NJ. Calhoun, dis
trict agent in Louisiana, who accom-
panied the Georgians throughout the
state. He is a large planter, and no.
where did the party see such a good
demonstration of practicing what he
preached as was seen on Mr.. Calhoun's
thousand acres of cotton He will get
near a bale of cotton per acre. Abund-
ance of weevils were found in his
field, showing that he undoubtedly
has them and would have been badly
affected, but for his hard fight.
The Georgia party is thoroughly
convinced that the methods recon-
by the farm demonstration de-
partment of the bureau of agriculture
OF the United States are the only
practical methods thus far used.
Several OF the demonstration agents
brought Bottles of weevils back, but
they were put into bottles containing
alcohol, and therefore are out of bust
ness.

Colebrook, N. H.. Sept. r.
There was no court proceeding yes
terday, Thaw's arraignment being
put off by mutual consent until ten
o'clock today, and Thaw's lawyers,
apparently thinking him safer in the
custody of the sheriff than at large,
abandoned their attempt to release
him on a writ of habeas corpus.
Unless more delay intervenes,
Thaw will be brought before Justice
Carr on the complaint tn he is
wanted in New York for conspiracy
Counsel for New York will ask that
Thaw be remanded until a requisition
warrant can be presented to Gov
Felker and that he can be removed
to the county Jail at Lancaster. Their
will begin the real fight against ex

DIR. CROSSFIELD
Home Coming Day at the 9Th
Street Church of Christ, Sun
day, Sept. IA.

The Ninth Street Church of Christ
and all departments of it. will enjoy
a sort of Fall Rally next Sunday.
DR.. R. H. Crossfeld. of Lexington,
President of Pennsylvania University,
will preach and lecture. Mrs. PEI
kins will give special attention to
the music. Those who have had va
cations, whether at home or away
from home, are expected to come in
from their vacations and recreations
and take their parts in the work of
the church. The time, if not the
weather, calls for the renewal of all
forms of work of which the church
is engaged. Such is the idea of the
leaders in it. These services of
Sunday will be followed by others
not less interesting. Most note
worthy in the plans of these fall
meetings is the provision to record
the attendance of individuals. 1t is
proposed that each member of the
congregation shall keep record of
his own attendance at all regular
services for his own rebuke if he is
delinquent-for his own encourage
ment if he is faithful.
DR.. Crossfield will be remembered
here as the conductor of the most
effective revival in outward results
at least which ever occurred in the
Ninth Street Church. He will be
welcomed and heard with great en-
thusiasm at the work of this fall.

which will terminate Jan. l, 1914,

RUNAWAY GIRL FOUND
Hiding In an Abandoned Mine
Near NOrtOnviIIe.

jacksonville, KY, Sept. 12.-Aft-
er living in the cliffs and woods for
the last three or four days Maudie
Gamblin, aged sixteen, was found
in the old Oak Hill coal mines, eight
miles south Of this city, by Sheriff
j. B. Stanley and Deputy Claud Ford.
A warrant was caused to be issued
by her father, j o h n Gamblin, of
NOrtonville, one-half mile from the
mines, for the arrest of two young
men of Nortonville.
The girl, it is claimed, has been
missing from her home for the last
few days. Her father came to this
city and had the warrant sworn out
against Fred Brown and another boy
of Nortonville on the charge of lur-
ing his daughter from his home.
The old mine in which the girl was
found has not been W, rked for over
two years, and is a gloomy old cav
ern. When the officers approached
the opening they entered, not think
ing of there being any possibility of
any human being in the dark chasm,
but going only a short way stumbled
over something, and after striking
matches found the girl in a crouching
position, with small pistol in her
hand. The officers quickly o o k
charge of her and the gun
The girl said that she would never
I've at her fathers house again and
would live in the wilds before return
ing to her home, but the offic RS
took her in charge and delivered her
with the gun to her father.
The officers arrested Fred Brown,
of Nortonville, and brought him here
and lodged him in Jail, but the other
boy made his escape in the woods.
The girls father notified the Sheriff
last night that he a. d his daughter
would be in Madisonyille today and
would have warrants sworn out for
the arrest of three more young men.
The citizens of Nortonville are very
much wrought up over the outrage

GOOD CORN CROP.
Average of About s Barrels
To the Acre.

Mr.. j. T. Stump brought 20 this
office Thursday morning samples Of
Boone county white and yellow corn,
the finest we have seen this year.
Mr.. Stump came here from George
town, KY, about two years ago and
rented the James c. Johnson farm,
twelve miles from the city en- the
GAINESVILLE pike. The farm is now
owned by Mr.. Hembry, of Murfrees-
bfro, Tenn. The sample ears meas.
ured from 10 to IL inches in length
and were large, we'll filled ears. Mr..
Stump says he thinks the crop will
measure up to 1000 barrels and he
will have a surplus of 600 barrels

May Visit Mexico.

Mr.. Oscar G. Westendarp. Of Mon
terey. Mex. who is son-in-law of
former Mayor F. w. Dabney, of
this city. has gone to Germany to be
with his smother for several weeks.
1t is probable that Mr.. Dabney will
leave in a few days to remain with
his daughter until her husbands re-
turn. Monterey has not been in the
trouble zone during the latest revo-
luton and Mr.. Westendarp's family
has not thought it necessary to leave

Board Met Thursday and Vexed
Question Was Finally
Settled.
TWO SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS.
Vote For One Session 429, For
Two Sessions Was
139.

The Board of Trustees of the City
Public Schools meet Thursday after
noon end disposed of the one and
two session question. after the votes
were ops ned and counted. The
patrons of the schools expressed
their preference and those favoring
the one session won out nearly three
to one. The number voting for one
session was 429 and those wanting
two sessions sent in 1879 votes, ma
jority in favor of one session 290.
AS the board had left the vexed
question to the parents Of the pupils
there was but one thing to be done,
and the one session was made the
order. This settles the question
for the future.
Superintendent Marion met with
the board. Owing to the crowded
condition of the Clay street school
and the Virginia school it was abso.
Iutely necessary to elect two other
teachers.
A rule of the board gives the
Superintendent the right to name
substitute" teachers, subject to
ratification by the board. AS Prof.
Marion has just started upon his
FIST year as Superintendent he told
the board that he would much pre-
fer the board to select the substi-
tutes. as he was not vel enough &C
qusinted to do so. The board then
selected Misses Fannie Campbell
and Ruby Eshman.
Miss Fannie Campbell is daugh-
ter of Mr.. Gabe l.. Campbell near
the city on the Canton pike. She is
a young lady of fine mind and at
tractive personality. but has had no
experience in teaching. being one of
the 1928 graduating class of the
High School. Those who know her
will believe she will prove equal to
the responsibilities she assumes as a
number of the faculty.
Miss Ruby Eshman is a daughter
of Rev. j. B Eshman. pastor of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church.
She has had experience in teaching
for some time and her ability is be-
yond question. Last year she taught
at Cowan, Tenn. In order to be
nearer home this year she accepted a
fiattering call to go to Madisonville
and teach in the public schools.
The local board Of trustees having
rendered her position it is thought
she will resign and accept. By so
doing she will be able to be in the
home of her parents, which she very
much desires,

New York, Sept. 12.-William j.
Gaynor, mayor of New York City,
voyaging over the sea on the steam

his strength to enter the three-cOr-
nered municipal campaign as a can
dida.e for re election, died suddenly
ly on the Baltic as the steamer was
within few hundred miles Of the
Irish coast yesterday afternoon. He
had succumbed to heart failure, the
message said.
Later dispatches from his son, Ru-
fus w. Gaynor, who was his fathers
only travelling companion, gave de-
tails which shove that the end had
come with shocking suddenness.
Plans for a public funeral to be
held probably on Monday, Sept. p,
will be made tomorrow by the board
of estimate. Late advicas from
abroad say the body may be trans
ferred from the Baltic to the steam
er Cedric, sailing from Queenstown
tomorrow, or if the arrangement
cannot be effected, to the Lusitania,
sailing from Liverpool on Saturday,
