State EntOmOIOgist Chosen Head Of
National Conservation Congress.

E. Lee Worsham, state entomalo-
gist of Georgia, was elected presb 9nt

The congress was a strenuous
fighter for the establishment of the
Appalachian Park in North Georgia,
North and South Carolina and Ten
nessee and other states. This, in
the course of time, will be of great
value to these states.

FAITHFUL EVEN IN DEATH.
Collie Dog Had to Be Driven From
Grave of Master,

One of the most touching and pa
thetic incidents following the pass
ing from his life and daily rounds
of activity of the late Writ Adams

collie, Don, most affectionate dog
During the later years of Mr.. Ad-
ans life Don was his constant and
devoted companion. He would ac-
company him to his offices or on his
daily walk to the cemetery to visit
the family burial plot. On the day
following the funeral. early in the
morning, Don was missed from the
house, and members of the house

that Don had preceded them. where

the greatest difficulty that the faith

SHOT FRIEND AFTER FIGHT.
MOuItIie Men Fought For an Hour,
and One Is Killed.

Brantley TimmOns, prominent
sawmill operator of Colquitt county,
was shot and killed by Jesse Holland
Sunday afternoon at Lost creek
bridge. The two had quarreled over
80 cents that arose in a settlement.
They went to the bridge with two
friends, fought for an hour with bare
fists and had shaken hands. AS they
walked to the buggy Holland drew
a revolver and shot Timmons four
times, each bullet landing. Holland
then darted into a swamp and has
not been seen since. Timmons died
instantly.

new INDICTMENT
UNITED STATES GRAND JURY TO
AGAIN TAKE UP WATSON CASE.
First Indictment For Sending AIieg-
ed Obscene Matter Through Mails
Quashed Account of Defect.

1t is currently reported that the
United States grand jury, which will
convene in Augusta May IL, is to
once more investigate the charge
against Thos. E. Watson, the Thorn
son editor and politician, that he sent
obscene matter through the United
States mails in connection with his
fight on the Catholic church.
United States District Attorney
Alexander Akerman has had sub
pOenas issued for the witnesses who
testified before the grand jury when
the previous indictment, which was
later quashed, was returned and they
have been ordered to report in Au-
gusta.
When the case came on for trial
several months ago Judge Foster,
who was presiding, on demurrer by
Watson, who was conducting his own
defense, ordered the indictment
quashed on the ground that it was
defective. At that time it seemed
to be the general impression that the
government would drop the case.
Now it is understood that if the
grand jury finds grounds for a true
bill pains will be taken to see that
no defects creep into the indictment
and the case will be tried on its mer-
it's. Even though an indictment
should be returned at the coming ses-
sion of the grand jury the case would
hardly go to trial at that term of
court.
The alleged obscene matter, which
it is claimed Watson published, was
printed in Latin, and he alleged it to
be a series of questions which Cath
Ollie priests ask of women in the con-
fessional. When they were translat-
ed they were found to be exceedingly
vile. Watson's defense is that he was
simply reprinting passage form an
other book that had been given cir
culation through the mails and
against which no objection was made

PINK BOIL WORM GUARANTEED
Hearings On the Matter Will Be
Held On May ( ) by the Depart
ment of Agriculture.


WASHINGTON, D. Gearing
introduction into the United States
of the pink boil worm" the depart
ment of agriculture today announced
that it would hold hearings here
May Is on proposed new guarantees
against the insect. Three distinct
restrictive measures are under con-
templation-one to limit the entry
of foreign lint cotton to the north
ern states; one prohibiting shipment
of foreign lint cotton from northern
states to the South, and one to re-
strict importations of lint cotton
from any foreign country.
The inconvenience these measures
would cause mill owners, department
experts say, would be insignificant
compared with the disastrous effects
that would be brought about should
the pest establish itself in the South.
Ravages of the insect in Egypt
amounted in 1913 to more than all
other cotton insects combined. In
severe cases the yield was reduced
so per cent.
To keep this insect out, the de-
partment says the barring of cotton
seed has been found insufficient, for
of infested seed are usually
found in lint. Since the cotton fields
of the South are adjacent to many
of the Southern cotton mills the dan
ger from this infested seed is very
great.

Grain Shipments Now

be held for use as feed for the large
numbers of cattle, hogs and sheep
being fattened on its ranges, both
south of the line and at Imperial, the
present headquarters of the company.
The reason for not placing this bar
ley crop on the market is obvious. At
present from S5 cents to 81 is being
offered per sack for barley, while the
barley is worth S1.50 per sack gross
and $1.20 net as feed for its cattle,
pigs and sheep. This company also
has 1000 acres planted in corn, but
this entire crop will be held for feed,
IS it makes excellent fattening for
hogs, and even cattle and sheep.
Taking everything into considera-
ton, the crop outlook for this district,
and This applies largely to all of I'M
perial Valley, is most favorable. Not
being dependent upon rains, and not
being liable to a shortage Of water,
there is seldom very much about about
the crop in this section. This is due
to tn fact that the extensive irriga-
ton system of Imperial Valley, which
extends from the Salton sea to about
forty miles south of the Mexican line,
provides ample water during all sea-
sons of the year, the water being tax
en- from the Colorado river.

Calcxico. May 22.-Grain shipments
cf the ranches south of here
are now beginning to be made,
and the harvest is in full swing.
With tlN movement of grain,
just beginning, and threshing going
aheai rapidly, indications are that
that part of Imperial Valley south of
the Mexican line will produce an un-
usually large crop of barey, wheat
and corn. The first shipments of the
Pacific Land and Cattle Company were
made Thursday, beginning with two
carloads a day. The barley outlook
indicates that ranches south of the
line will have their usual record
yield, it being estimated, with ship
ments only begun, that the yield will
run from thirty to fifty bushels to
the acre.
Leo Little, who has 1000 acres
planted in barley and 5000 acres III
whea;, estimates that his barley will
run from thirty to forty bushels 70
the acre and that his wheat will run
about twenty-five bushels to the acre.
He began sending in his grain from
the Mexican side of the line to a Ca
iexico bonded warehouse early this
week. moving the grain at the rate
of about 500 sacks per day. This
grain is hauled into Calexico by wag-
ons which every morning may be seen
lined up along the streets, awaiting
the placing in warehouses here. Each
sack contains two bushels of grain
The wheat on the Little ranch is now
being threshed and has not yet been
shipped here for storage. The move
ment Of wheat will not commence un-
til about week later. Little's bar
ley crop will total between 10000 and
10000 bushels. and the wheat crop
will reach approximately $4,000 bush
els. The movement of this big crop
will begin within short time.
The Pacific Land and Cattle Com
pany, which company has a 1O,5OO-
acre ranch south of the Mexican line
will have big crop of barley. it
is estimated that the barley OH this
ranch will run from forty to fifty
bushels to the acre. This company
has 5000 acres planted in barley, but
great deal of this was cut for hay,
to be used in feeding the large herds
of cattle, sheep and hogs which are
being fattened on its ranges. 1t is
estimated that this company alone viii!
ship TO CaleXico, from Longs CROSSING,
near Pascualitas, approximately $4,000
bushels of barley. This is 10000 bush
els greater than the first estimate OF
the crop. The first two carloads Of

Thursday, but for a while shipments
will be held up until the company

in storing its big crop of grain. Here
after shipments will be made to Ca

These shipments will total about
so carloads, two cars being shipped
every day until the crop is all moved

company will be about 5Ox75 feet, anu

SAGE TEA TURNS

Bring Back Color and
Lustre to Hair.

glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing a mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm It
makes or mars the face. When 1t fades,
turns gray. streaked and looks dry,
wispy and scraggly. just an applica-
ton or two of Sage and Sulphur en-
hances its appearance a hundredfold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic; you
can get from any drug store a 50-cent
bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Hair Remedy" ready to use. This can
always be depended upon to bring back
the natural color, thickness and lustre Of
your hair and remove dandruff, stop
scalp itching and falling hair
Everybody uses "Wyeth's" Sage and
Sulphur because 1t darkens so natural
ly and evenly that nobody can tell it has
been applied. You simply dampen a
sponge or soft brush with it, and draw
this through the hair, taking one small
strand at a time; by morning the gray
hair has disappeared, and after another
application it becomes beautifully dark
and appears glossy, lustrous and
sbundant.-Advt.

$4,000 appropriated to begin, and they
assert that they are organizing for a
stubborn resistance,
The communication is especially in

graph is:
The citizens of the wards through

Mayor Woodward and Chairman W.
