A Pine Tree Pest.

1t is one pest after another, and
the time and expense of combating
them is becoming a considerable bur-
den.
Now the department of agriculture
at Washington is directing attention
to the introduction and establishment
in America of the European pine
shoot moth, which threatens to cause
serious loss. This insect is a small
Orange-red moth, the larvae of which
hollows out new buds and kills or
Injuries the ends of twigs of pine
trees. This injury causes a deformi-
ty which is serious in ornamental
trees, and in trees grown for lumber
makes a crooked growth and a con-
sequent waste when the tree is cut.
The department states that the
young larvae came into this country
within the buds on imported pine
seedlings which have come from Eng
land, France, Holland, Belgium or
Germany The departments investi-
gators have discovered it in ten local
tiles, in six states from Massachusetts
to Pennsylvania, but it is likely that
it may be found in other localities.
1t has not been found in any native
trees in the forest, and with only one
exception has always been on Euro !
pean pines in nurseries and private
parks. There is no evidence to indi-
cate that it has been in this county
more than a year except on Long Is
land, where it has existed for more !
than two years.
The department hopes that the /
new pest may be stamped out before
it becomes too widespread to be con-
trolled. At present the problem Of |
its elimination is confined mainly to
nurseries, but if it once gets into the
native pine forests the experts think
that it would be beyond control.

From Diaz to Bandits.

They are still carrying on their in
ternal strife in Mexico, and Uncle
Sam has called his soldiers home.
Carranza, the weakling to whom this
government gave it's moral support,
has fed precipitately from the Next
can capital and let the army of Villa,
the bandit who was his former ally,
take possession without the explosion
of a cap. The future is full of dis
turbing thought, so far as Mexico is
concerned. The situation in the dis
tressed republic is described by the
Advertiser IN the follow
ing editorial
"The endless chain of Mexican
presidents continues. The govern
ment is now in the hands Of Zapata,
branded to the world as bandit
and accepted by the world as a

Mr.. Bryan'S Latest,

A recent interesting and perhaps
significant statement by Mr.. Bryan
over his own signature in his Com
moner, anent the duty OF the demo-
cratic party as to it's attitude in deal
ing with certain moral questions
notably one that involves sumptuary
prohibition legislation-ha attracted
general attention and been the sub
iect of much editorial comment by
the newspapers of the country. Some
profess to see in it the candidacy of
Mr.. Bryan for the democratic presl-
dental nomination in 1916, accept
ing that President Wilson is in &C
cord with the declaration of the Bal
timore platform against a second
term.
We do not see why national prohl-
ton might not be made part of the
party programme provided the party
continues to accept the Bryan leader
ship. Mr.. Bryan is distinctly a ma
tionalizer. When it is stated that
Capitalization has grown more in
five years than in the preceding CEN
tury' it is making acknowledgement
that the Bryan influence is now all
pervasiye, Prohibition of the liquor
traffic by the nation is only minor
part of the programme that began
with the dethronement of Cleveland
and the enforcement of Bryan. The
old idea of state sovereignty is now
only an historic incident. 1t may be
revived, but it has no pronounced
champion between the two oceans if
we except Joe Bailey and possibly
Joe Cannon.
We are doing. Mr.. Bryan the credit
of believing that when he talks he
is in earnest and means what he says,
and if our view is correct he would
fain lead the democrats Of the United
States to programme of hostility to
tastes and customs of our people en-
bodied in their code of social ethics,
and laws as we'll, that will call for
legislation of most i'm
portant character. We who are OBJ
servant will not make the mistake of
Understanding Mr.. Bryan's abilities
or his qualities of leadership. He
has led the democratic party more
than once against its better judy
ment, and may do so again. He has
given fair warning, and developments
will come in due time.

A SUGGESTION FOR MAKING
SOME EASY PIN MONEY

Editor Dawson News: My atten-
ton has been drawn to a story in
one of the North Carolina papers that
one woman and her daughter in one
day had gathered las pounds of che
nopodium seed and that in that Sec
ton this has become to be quite an
industry. To the average layman it
might be we'll to state this is just
plain old-fashioned Jerusalem oak
seed, and is quoted by the Pharma-
ceutical Era at 10 to II cents per
pound.
And so it occurs to me that quite
a bit of pin money could be made in
this way by our housewives and 9TH
ers growing the simpler medicinal
plants, such as mullen, poke, prick
Iyash, castor bean, sunfower, etc..
which could find ready sale and no
doubt could in a way be enlarged
upon by an enterprising man who
dotes upon Investigation from the
Affection plan.
A month or so ago an Atlanta lady
wished to get both the mullen and
the poke plants to be used in some
homemade medicine, and no doubt
had she gone out in the old fields
of South Georgia she could have
found these plants aplenty. These
incidents might be investigated with
profit by some one. Yours very
truly, B. H. WATTS.

This is very largely machine
made war, and it would be curious
and not altogether illogical denoue-
ment of the great struggle if it's end
should be fastened through the ia
tigue of the machine rather than the
exhaustion of the man.
This war is being fought with the
gun and motor car; and so strenuous
and uninterrupted has been the
struggle that these have been put to
a test of endurance the like of which
has never been witnessed in the his
tory of artillery or the briefeT but
very strenuous history of the gasoline
car.
The life of the gun, so far as its
absolute destruction by bursting is
concerned, is practically unlimited,
but not so it's accuracy life. Every
time a gun is fired some of the inte-
rior surface of its bore and delicate
riling is wiped away, and certain
degree of it's accuracy is lost, This
is true of the shoulder rifle, with it's
bore so small that it would not more
than admit lead pencil, no less than
of the great siXteen-inch siege guns
of the Germans. Fortunately for
the infantrymen the wearing out of
the bore decreases rapidly with a de-

unless they leave the ticks behind.
Will some one please tell us when
if ever, there was car of cattle
shipped out of the state from this
county; and while you are about it
find us a dozen men in the county
who care whether we ever ship a COW
out of the county or not.
With beefsteak selling at present
prices it. ought to be against the law
to ship a COW out of the county. Peo-
pie in the county can eat all the beef
that will be raised, and producers are
being paid good prices for it, with the
ticks thrown in.
AS Max Land says, "the gist of the
whole thing is some jack-leg college
boy wants a good fat job, and half
dozen or so of our rich men have a
few old COWS from which they want
the ticks removed at the expense of
the people"
Let every farmer and cattle owner
do his own Graduating and thereby
eradicate the eradicator. People are
getting tired of having the public
funds squandered.
In many of the counties of the
state experts are employed to eradi-
cate the cattle tick. There is a prop
osition before Wilcox county to en-
ploy one here, and the New Era
wants to go down as fat-footedly OPP
posed to it.
You see, the proposition is like
this. The United States pays one
third, the state one-third and the
county must pay the baalnce or we
get no eradicator. That's the way all
of our state and national aid comes
we pay immense amounts into the
treasury and then have to pay more
to get little of it back.

There are three hundred thousand

at $500. 100000. They have an area
as large as all of New England and
New York state combined.
The figures are given by Hon. cato

fairs. He shows further that not
withstanding the fact that since 1875
the government has appropriated ap-
proximately $4,000, 900 for schools
among the Indians there are today
10000 Indian children without any
school facilities whatever. There are
1900 defective children without ia
cilities for care and training. There
are 65 ,000 children of school age
with 223 day schools on reservations,
76 boarding schools on reservations
and 50 non-reservation schools. The
schools are able to care for $4,000
children, and mission public schools
have enrolled 22,500 more; so that
there are 1850 normal and defect
i've Indian children uncared for.
The Indians have more than $780,
600 acres of irrigated lands; approx
imateTy 100000 acres of agricult-
ural land, and more than 50,0OO,000
acres of grazing land, and the gov
