NOT BOIL WEEVIL YET;
SAYS STATE ENTOMOLOGlS

Atlanta, Ca, May 18.-The mails
yesterday brought the state agricul-
tural department at the capitol small
glass phial containing a species OF
insect, resembling the Mexican boil
weevil. They were sent by T. L. Lud-
ley, of Shellman, Ga. The state en-
tomologist diagnosed the insect as a
pea weevil and no relation to the
Mexicon boil weevil. The pea pod
weevil is almost identical to the boil
weevil with the exception that it is
of much darker color, being classed
as a brunette rather than blonde
1t is not the cotton pest, according to
the entomologist.

.SHERLFF'S YOUNG SLEUTH
HAD TIGER SLIPPED IN ARMS

the house was searched, she could not
be found.
Sheriff Ward had suspicion that the
Virgins negro was selling liquor pref
ty much on the wholesale scale, and
he was not satisfied at finding the
small amount that the grip contained,
He forced an entrance into closet
on the second floor, and there found
seventy-five half pints and took charge
of it. Pretty good liquor, too, the
sheriff said, but, OF course, he was go
ing by the brand The liquor is now
securely locked in the county jail,
where the sheriff is holding it for ev-
idence against Virgins The negro
was not at home and has not yet been
arrested. In event of his apprehen-
sion he will be Immediately lodged
in the county Jail.
Virgins IS an old offender on the
blind tiger charge. He has been ar
raigned before the city recorder no
less than a dozen times for the illegal
practice During the past year or so,
the police force made it so hot for
the tigers that Josh's operations were
limited. He concluded to escape the
jurisdiction OF the police force and
he built a house just beyond the city
limits. where he doubtless intended
to carry on the sale of liquor, together
with other vices, but Sheriff Ward
is determined that he and others who
are inclined along the same lines shall
show as much respect for the law OF
the state as he does for the law of the
city
Wiggin, while returning from Jack
sonville with a new supply, which he
tried to drop off the train at Wenona
yesterday, found himself suspected
and on striking ground, he ran. He
made good his escape, while his bag
gage was left for the inspection of the
officers. There were 120 pints in the
valise alone.

Err GOOD BRAND.

Sheriff John Ward of Crisp has a
son, aged ~, whose name is also John,
and to take it from those who know,
John, Jr. is some sleuth himself. On
several occasions Sheriff Ward has
put the responsibility on John, Jr.,
to do the detective role and he has
never fallen short of the responsible
ty.

Cox, and ]. F. MCCARTHY, who has
been serving as one of the bailiffs III
superior court, took an automobile
ride Thursday night TO the home OF
Josh Virgins, Immediately northwest
of the city, just beyond Seven Springs
in an effort to apprehend negro Wo
man for whom the sheriff held a war
rant. John wanted to go too, and the
sheriff consented, thinking that per
haps he would be of some service.
The negro's home was reached and
while Cox and young Ward kept a
watch on the outside, Sheriff Ward
and Mccarthy went into the house
The sheriff had been informed thai
liquor was being sold there and he
also intended to make an investlga
ton along that line as well as look
ing for the negro woman. When the
presence of himself and deputies be
came known, there was stir among
the occupants of the house and things
began to happen in rapid order. AS
John, Jr., stood under the caves Of
the house keeping watch, he heard
window being raised on the secont
story. Then he discovered a hanf
grip coming down at the end Of rope

to contain liquor in half pints.

LOCAL BANKS HAVE FUNDS WAIT
ING TO BE USED IN REPAIRING

SECURITY.

Mayor Jones has brought before the
city council the fact that the city now
has on deposit in the four banks of
the city, over $4,000 being the sink
ing fund required by law, to be kept
to retire maturing bonds. On the sug
gestion of the mayor each of the
banks, Cordele National, American
National, Exchange and Citizens bank
filed with the clerk and treasurer
bonds in the sum of $4,000 each. These
bonds secure to the city it's funds as
the state and county funds are Sc
cured.
Mayor Jones explained, that the
city had no protection against loss,
that the money handled by the banks
for the city, was simply a straight
the |. o. u. of the banks and nothing
more
at will be about seven years before
the city has any more bonds to retire"
said the mayor, land this sinking fund
is growing every year, and it is moth
ing out r'g!,t, certainly good business,
tC have this city fG2a fully protec ell.
as the state and county protect their
funds. 1t was perfectly agreeable
with the banks although it costs
small premium to the city each year
to carry this protection. We insure
the city property against loss of fire,
why not insure our funds, by guaran-
ty bonds?" said the mayor. | be-
lieve that a city like Cordele ought to
be run on business principles, and let
us be about our part of the work as
public officials of the right kind"

Grain Review

Chicago, Aug. 7.-Wheat prices weak
ened today under liberal selling due to
Liverpool assertions that any great
black rust damage in Canada was stu
unconfirmed. Later, the market rallied
on reports that black rust had been
found in every field near MoosejaW,

last Opening prices. which ranged from
1ac to 14c lower, with September at
$133N to $1.34k and December at
$1.37k to $1.S8, were followed by re-
covery Of nearly all the loss but then by
declines lower than before.
Much of the selling was to prepare
for possible surprise in the govern
ment crop report tomorrow. Besides
there was a material increase of the
United States visible supply total. The
close was unsettled, LIZ to &c net low
er, with September, at S1.S3 and Deem
Der at $1.36ss @1.36A.
Corn showed strength owing largely
to the bullish nature of the Missouri
monthly state crop report. Showers in
Illinois, however, acted to some extent
as an Offset. After opening unchanged
to 1c higher, the market scored sub
stantial gains all around and then I'M
derwent material sag. IT,. .-.
In oats the effect of the corn bulge
was more than counterbalanced by the
weakness of wheat Gains were only

Profit taking by longs tended after
ward to weaken the market. The close
was nervous at a "a &c net decline.
Higher quotations on hogs gave firm
ness to provisions. Trading was Of fair
