IRON POLES CAUSE
 OF POOR LIGHTING They aTt Not Water Tight and
 IDSuIators arc Defective.

An explanation of the poor lighting tric Light and Water company has been presented to Mayor George A. Quigley in the form of a letter from Superintendent G. F. Atwater. The superintendent ascribes the poor ser vice to trouble the company has been having since the new ornamental iron poles were substituted for the wooden poles.
 Mayor Quigley received numerous complaints regarding the service last week and wrote to the company about it.. The following is Super intendent Atwater's reply:
 T have your esteemed inquiry of the 3rd inst. relative to complaints you have received regarding the arc lights not being lit and regret very much to say the service has not been satisfactory of late. We feel how ever, that we have not been entirely to blame for this. Very good ser vice was maintained while the flame arc lamps were located on the wood- en poles, but just as soon as they "Cio CIlduSeu CO the OrIldHlenLal Iron poles trouble began.
 "In the first place, the porcelain cutouts which were furnished with the iron poles and are located in the bases of the poles whose function it Is to turn thes current off the lamps in case of trouble in the lamp, showed defects and one after another blew up causing the circuit to be shut down in every case and in several cases when they blew up the cable was 50 badly burned that it was i'm possible to put the circuit on again until new cable had been installed. This type of cutout is the only one on the market at the present time so we were unable to fall back on anotner make. We took the mat ter up With the manufacturers and they sent a representative here. who, after looking over the ground told us they could not guarantee satisfac- tory operation of these cutouts as the poles were not water tight. We have decided, therefore, to do away with these cutouts until something more satisfactory is invented. We already have about a quarter of these

 Another trouble which came in conjunction with the above was that when cutout blew up an abnormal current was built up on the line which sometimes burned out coils in the arc lamps About two weeks ago we lost twenty-five lamps all in one night This burning out of the coils is some thing peculiar with the new flame arcs and would not have been ex- perienced with the old type of arcs We have taken this matter up with the lamp manufacturers and they are rectifying this trouble. In the mean time We feel that we will have re- moved the primary source of the trouble when the cutouts in the iron poles have been removed
 We feel very much. annoyed at having this trouble occur. and in con- sequence having to furnish poor ser- vice, but let me assure you that we have been and are at the present time working hard to remedy these defects and feel sure that within a few days the service will be entirely satisfactory

WILL TALK ABOUT Wilt.
Commissioner and Entomologist Will
Address Meeting of Farmers and
Business Men at Preston.


The News has been requested to
announce that there will be meet
ing at Preston, Webster county, on
Saturday, February 14th, of vast i'm
portance to all the farmers and bus
mess men in the immediate territory.
The meeting will be for the pur-
pose of discussing methods for the
control of the black root or wilt dis
ease in cotton and essential prepare
lions to be made for the coming of
the Mexican elton boil weevil to
Georgia. The meeting will be held
in the court house at 10 o'clock in
the morning.
1t is of great Importance to agri-
culture and to business generally to
have the wilt disease under complete
control when the boil weevil gets
here so that only one serious cotton
problem will have to be confronted
at time.
The speakers who will address the
meeting and present plans for the
best solution of these problems are
Commissioner of Agriculture ]. d.
Price, State Entomologist E. L. Wor-
sham, Assistant State Entomologist
A. c. Lewis, Ira w. Williams and
Mr. Oliver.
Georgia must continue to grow
cotton in spite of its serious pests,
says State Entomologist Worsham.
"The important thing to do is to get
ready for the coming of the weevil,
and thus prevent the decentralization
that follows it's first appearance. One
of the most serious pests known to
the cotton plant is black root or wilt
disease. This disease should be Grad
icated from every farm in the state
before the weevil appears. 1t is only
necessary to rotate crops and to grow
wilt resistant varieties of cotton.
THE state board of entomology is
anxious to get in touch with all farm
ers in those counties whose lands are
affected with wilt disease, and will
be glad to supply them with wilt
resistant seed. We propose to ex-
plain to the farmers how they can
grow cotton in spite of black root
and the weevil. The most important
feature is careful selection of seed.
Every farmer should know how to
select his own seed scientifically, and
that is what we propose to tell them
at the meeting"
Every farmer and business man
who can possibly do so is urged to
be present at this meeting.
