Electric Lights We're Turned
On In LgGsbuTg Last Saturday
Business district Illuminated Saturday evening for the first time.
All residence and street lights will som be ready for
use---AlLday current available.

Saturday night the electric lights
were flashed on for the first time
under the new company in the bu-
siness district. The glow Of cleo
trio lights all along the newly paved
block on Walnut street made a dis
play that has long been awaited and
which has never been seen here te-
fore. For it soon became manifest
that the current given under the
new arrangement is not to becom-
pared with the weak, fiucf tating
current which afflicted the people OF
Leesburg when they first had cleo
trio lights a few years ago.
The merchants and business men
Of the city are very much pleased
with the electric lights, as steady,
strong current is maintained throu-
ghout the day and night. This
ma..es electric lights here a genuine
pleasure, for the equipment ef mo-
dern incandescent bulbs, together
with a current that is dependable,
is something that Leesburg resi-
dents have never before enjoyed. It
is very certain that within short
time every resident and business
man who can pay for electric lights
will have these lights Installed.
Manager Killebrew, Of the AL
bany Power Company, promises
lights for every section Of the city
within a short time. The lights
for the streets will also soon he in
stalled, so that Stygian darkness
will no longer reign along the streets
at night. A large number of street
lights will be installed, so that the
streets Of the city will he well pro-
vided for in this particular. has
been the endeavor Of the members
of the board Of aldermen to see that
no part Of the city is neglected.

The Planters warehouse is now
open for the season, though the
active movement ofcotton into Lees
burg is not expected to begin until
later. The Planters Warehouse
officials are expecting a good season,
and they promise the farmers Of
Lee county tile best services that
can be given.
Last seasons business with the
local warehouse was exceptionally
good. 1t was probably the best
year ever known by the local ware
house. This year is expected to b
another record breaker. Every Lee
county farmer is urged to marke
his cotton in Lee county, SO tina

it has how large a number Of bale

Boil WeeviI, COttOR'S Greatest Pest,
Will Reach Georgia This Fall.
Such the opinion expressed by Agricultural Agent Jackson
Of the Central Of Georgia Railway, who has recently
visited all Central test fama

That the dreaded boil weeyil viii
cross the Alabama line andmakeits
appearance in Georgia during the
coming fall is the opinion of Jesse
r, Jackson, agricultural agent q
the Central If Georgia railway who
returned TO Savannah recently after
tour Of the eompany's test farms
lin Southern Georgia and Alabama,
Lhe pest will only be seen ia the
extreme southwest portions d the
state, however, according TO AIR
Jackson, and cannot possibly estab-
llish itself 50 as to really menace the
cotton crop before the summer d
1916. During the summer Ct 1915,
lMr. Jackson said, the weeyil will
advance into the state, and the first
season in which it can be expected
to cause real damage to the crops
will he in 1916. In t917.ths Said,
the pest will probably ha gained
footing ii the largest portion Of
the state and by the following year
| it may be found near Savannah and
the sea.
The Central Of Georgia has pub
80
llished booklet telling Of the boil
weevil and cautioning the farmers
Of Georgia against the lax methods
Of farming. The booklet explains
that the weAv has been found with
Iin 6 miles oisthe dividing line be-
tween Georgia aid Alabama IN the
Hast few weeks, It gives timely adj
vice to the farmers as to the best
methods Of fighting the pest It
urges Georgia farmers to make
enough corn, oats and hay each year
to feed i'll the stock for 2 months;
to raise enough cattle aud hogs 50
that they will not have to buy eth
er pork Or beef for their families,
.Lhands or tenants; to keep enough
chickens to supply eggs and fried
chicken the year round; to raise
work stock, 50 that they viii not
have to buy new mules and horses
with the product Of the cotton cror.
III Texas, according to Mr. Jack
son, where the farmers have had
several seasons Of the boil wceyil,
| the loss that the weevil las caused
has been approximately $25,00O,
1000 annually. Contrary TO the
geBmal belief, he said, the weevil
does not invade a certain section Of
tile state and after doing all the
damage it can take its departure, as
do locusts and other pests. The
weevil stays, once it has established
itself, and the problem that con-
fronts the cotton growers in thesec-
tions that it now infests is how to
make cotton in the presence Of the
weevil.
On the trip from which be re-
turned Mr.. Jackson found thecrops
throughout the territory reached by
the Central Of Georgia particularly
prosperous, considering the long,
severe drouth that occurred during
May. The corn, he said, was re-
tarded somewhat, but all the test
farms in Georgia and Alabama will
make good crops. The oat crops
are a little short, Mr. Jackson said,
Oh account Of the dry spell, hut tie
cotton will be as good or better than
last years. crop Savannah News.

z Albany Women Lose
Their Lives in a Creek
hi..s. Crime .nd C.ss.t.tt.r are The victims.

Two popular young ladies, Of Al
bany Misses Resale Crineand Fam
ME Gaggstatter, were drowned and
Mr.. John w Gaggstatter, q broth
er Of the latter, was exhausted to
the point Of Inconsistencies in his
efforts to save them, when a small
row boat capsized in Kinchafoonee
creek at Palmyra in Lee county
Sunday morning.
The three were members OF PIC
mic party Of young people who went
to palmyra from Albany N large
auto truck that morning. Mr.. Gag
gstatter and the two young ladies
left the party for row down the
creek in small metal boat that
they found there. After rowing
down stream for some distance, 60
that they were out of sight and
hearing Of the rest Ct the party, the
boat, which was fiisssy affair,
suddenly eapsized and all were
thrown into the water.
Neither Of the young ladies could
swim and young Gaggstatter could
swim only little. In Mr.. Cages
tatter's efforts to save the young
ladies' he was badly hampered BY
their frantic struggles and he went
under twice while the girls, cling
ing to each other, went down for
the last time in spite Of all he could
do,
Making his way to the bank with
great difficulty, Mr.. Gaggstatter got
close enough tothe remainder Of the
party to give the alarm and then fell
unconscious. Other young men OF
the party ran to the spot where they
found the boat, one end Of which
was held out Of water by an air
chamber and they began diving in
an effort to find the bodies OF the
two girls. They kept this up until
help, which had been sent for, ar
rived from the city.
The accident occurred about 10 O
clock and the bodies were not re-
covered until / O'Clock this after
noon. When found, the two bodies
were together, Miss Gaggstatter, S
hand clasping an ankle Of Miss

The entire community was shock
ed and saddened by the double

ry Gaggstatter, aad Miss Crime was
the 2O-year-old daughter of Mrs,

Meaning Of Freebooter
Is Ably PrOpOundsd

{James Galloway in Macon Telegraph. J
All through the Code Of Georgia
the law lays emphasis upon the
freeholder No reference is had
lin this article to the case of Mr..
Harley Cabaniss. But the stress
laid upon one being Il freeholder to
perform certain duties under the law
of Georgia recalls tbs dignity at
tached to ffeeh6lder.
There is reason. for this. A poll
teal philosophy underlies it. One
who will study the philosophy of
the county unit system will find WHY
the trainers Of the Constitution of
1877 repeated the old time-honored
rule in apportioning representation
/ in our legislature.
That the population plan was not
adopted was not by accident. 1t
was purpoaely not done. Why?
Herein comes the freebooter. The
counties we're largely agricultural.
Farmers owned their homes. They
we're fixtures and not birds Of pas
sage. More responsibility was con-
ferred on them by the fact. Of their
occupation and fixedness Of loca-
ton. By occupation and hatita-
ton they were expected to have the
welfare Of the State more at heart
than the population Of large citiess
Being the conservative element they
are the checks upon the multitude
who dwell in the cities, and who
have not that abiding interest in the
welfare Of the State rs those free
holders who are fixtures to the soil.
: Farmers are the conservative ele-
ment Of State. They are the
checks upon those political agita-
tors who infest the cities-the ba-
lance wheel, 50 to speak.
Hence more responsibility and
more dignity attach to the farmers.
The trainers of our fundamental law
intended to recognize in them the
stable element-the checks and re-
straints upon the less fixed popula
ton, more tickle and more easily
swayed by the arts of the agitator
! and the sophistry Of the demagogue.
Hence our party practice has been
to follow the constitutional appor-
tionment for the legislature, only
allowing double the representation
to party conventions.
There are some strong men in
Georgia, however, opposed to tie
county unit system. They say the
foreigner who has just been here
J long enough to vote, and no free
holder. shduld he on equal terms to
tile farmer who is fixed quantity.
Among the leaders opposed to the
county unit system are Senator
Smith, Hon. Joe Hill Hall and Hon
Thomas W. Hardwick. They stand
for the population plan.
These two schools of thought are
the basis of the factionalism exist
ing in the State. It is entirely To-
cal-pertaining TO the State. It has
no national bearing. In loyalty to
the administration and success OF
the party there is no distinction.
There is no faction IN Georgia dis
loyal to the President. On nation
{ al policies we are all in accord. He
!. who claims the advocates of the
county unit system are less patrio-
tic than the advocates of the popu-
lation plan is simply playing the
demagogue.
Under the population plan the {
largest counties would offset more
than 81 Of the smaller counties. Tn,
'freeholdero would be reduced t.
