Citizens of Smyrna were pleased
when Town Council ordered the street
sprinkler in service. With an advance
in salary it was natural to expect
even better work than last year. If
the last week. the first week. is a test
of the service, it is apparent it is not
going to be a success. One or two
rounds a day is not going to keep the
dust laid. If the sprinkling is not
going to be done thoroughly, Council
will simply waste its money. Between
times Of sprinkling the dust is so bad
that property owners are compelled
to use their pavewash hose to sprinkle
in front of their properties. What is
worth doing at all is worth doing
well and il Council is to pay $40. 90
a month of the tax payers. money for
this service; they should see the work
is not skinned over but done thor
oughly.

HE CELEBRATED
DEATH OF HIS WIFE
Husband Called Friends to Rejoice
Over His Total Release. Made
an Address.

Joseph Krill of Cornwall, N. Y, en-
tertained a number of friends at his
home recently at an elaborate dinner.
Standing in the midst of the company
he made what is probably one of the
strangest addresses ever heard on a
similar occasion. He said in part:
Ladies and gentlemen, some of
you have asked me for the occasion
of this spread, and told you to wait.
The time has now come for me to
tell you.
"Twenty-three years ago my wife
elected to leave me and run away
with another man, leaving me with
three small children.

succeeded until last week, when
through relatives / learned she was
dead. The man with whom she went
and with whom she spent her time
since did not notify ME; it came from
other sources.
"The greatest joy of my life was to
hear that she had gone forever and
that | am now free. To celebrate
this 1 have called you together and l
want you to rejoice with me in my
release"

WEEVIL DESTROYER
Crisp Farmer Finds 81 Weevils in
One Partridge Craw. Birds at
Work in the Fields.

That the partridge is a common de-
stroyer of the boil weevil a prominent
farmer of Crisp county has learned
by positive experience. The farmer
killed one in his cotton field. He had
heard the idea advanced, as coming
from some experts on the boil wee
vii question, that birds and the part
ridge especially would prove de-
stroyer of the cotton pest in all com
munities where the weevil existed. To
satisfy himself on this point he open
ed the birds craw and found that 1t
contained twenty-seven weevlls. 1t
is stated that one or more coveys OF
the birds are on this farmers boil
weevil "crop" and that he has no in
tention of killing another, regardless
of the open season for quail.
Members of the Crisp county grand
Jury and others who were present
several years ago when Judge U. V.
Whipple was presiding on the Cor
dele circuit superior courts remem-
Der his charge to the grand jury when
he urged them to enforce the new
game law. He stated that quail was
a destroyer of the boil weevil and
that if left to multiply they would
prove of considerable aid to the farm
ers in dealing with the pest.-Cordele

VALIDITY OF THE NEW
DRY LAW IS ASSA|LEO
WHETHER ACT VIOLATES BOTH
STATE AND FEDERAL CONSTR
TUTIONS is RAISED.

Eight distinct questions of consti-
tutional construction and statutory
Interpretation, involved in the new
prohibition act, effective May last,
have been certified by the court of
appeals to the supreme court for in
struction. Probably not since it was
organized has the court of appeals
raised so many questions for the
highest court to decide involving the
validity of a single statute.
These questions go to the determi-
nation of the validity of the act as a
whole, whether it was legally passed
and whether the governor had con-
stitutional right to include prohibit
ton in his call for the extraordinary
session of the legislature which
adopted it; also whether section 16,
limiting the amount Of liquor an in
dividual is allowed to have in his pos
session, is an invasion of personal
rights, whether the general assembly
meant that only one kind of liquor
described in the act could be had at
the same time, and whether the
ground covered by the whole act was
broader than the constitution con-
templates should be included in a sim
gle law.
The cases which the court has GER
tilted originated in the city court of
Savannah, but a number of other
cases, involving the validity of the
act from various cities of the state
are now pending before both of the
courts of review.

TRAPPERS EARNED MANY
MILLIONS THE PAST YEAR

Fur Industry Owes Continued Sue
cess to Protective Measures.
The earnings Of the trappers of
fur-bearing animals in North Amer
lea in 1915 are estimated by experts
of the department of agriculture to
have been not ISIS than $20,00O,OO0,
although exports of raw furs for the
year were only about half the nor
NAL proportion.
In large part the industry owes its
continued success to legislation pass
ed in recent years providing for clos
ed seasons and protection of animals
threatened with extinction. AS re-
suit of legislation the total number
of states protecting fur-bearing ami
mails is increased to 80 in addition to

GET INVITATION AT LAST.
The Wisconsin Federation Has Found a
Hostess for the Annual
Convention.

Mrs. l.. M. Theirs, president of the
local Woman's Club, received official
notification today of the annual con-
vention date of the Wisconsin Fedora
tion of Women s Clubs. The assembly
will be in Milwaukee in Grand Avenue
Methodist Episcopal Church, November
s, 9 and 10.
Early in the spring when the ar
rangements committee Of the federation
was struggling to find a city that would
act as hostess next November, repre-
sentative Milwaukee club women said
that unless a desirable hostess could be
found thai city would step into the
breach and entertain the federation,
although this will make its third term
as hostess, while many Of the cities
represented in the aggregation have
never acted in that capacity.
Kenosha women will be particularly
pleased with the announcement of Mil
waukee's hospitality as the short dist
ance between this city and the conven-
ton city and the frequency of trains
will make it possible for many to at
tend sessions and return home conven-
iently at night who would not care to
go so far away that they would be
obliged to remain for the three days of
the convention or miss part Of the pro-
gram.
It is believed that many Kenosha
women will arrange to attend the con-
vention.
This is the latest date on which the
announcement of the convention city
has been made. Tt has frequently been
the case that the invitation for the
next convention was received before
the close of the current one.
