disputes, but at that time these state
commissions did not look with favor
upon the suggestion. Since then, how
ever, a number of strikes in different
large cities have caused many public
service commissions to change their
views, and the state legislature this
winter will doubtless have before them
many proposals on this subject.

was selected last night as member OF
the Thalian Dramatic club in COM

BARBER, OF FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS HERE
Facts Are Given to
Farmers On The
Menace

With an intense interest the farmers
and business ben of Americus, Sumter
county and visitors from neighboring
sections, attended the boil weevil
meeting here Wednesday, beginning at
10 o'clock, under the auspices of the
state board of entomology The court
house was comfortably filled.
Besides the addresses of State En-
tomologist E. Lee Worsham; A. C.
Lewis and j. S. Maness, of the ento-
mology department, there was w. B.
Hunter, president of the Georgia Fruit
exchange; C. F. Barger, of Tallulah,
La, with the United States department
of agriculture, he having made a spec
ialty of boil weevil fights and condi-
toms; Captain John A Cobb, of this
city, member of the state entomology
ical board
The addresses were heard with in
terest, and much good is expected to
result from the tour of the state and
federal agents.
Sumter county has already made ex-
traordinary preparation through the
efforts of Agricultural Agent j. G. Oil
YER; the Americus and Sumter County
Chamber of Commerce, and other
prominent citizens.
State Entomologist E. Lee Worsham,
the first speaker, gave history of the
boil weevil as a matter of general in
terest and then went into detail con-
eerning the life history of the insect
for the purpose of bringing out those
things of which advantage is taken in
fighting the pest. He brought out
clearly that only small percentage of
the weevils survive the winter. They
begin to emerge and enter fields be-
fore the squares are formed This
gives the farmer an opportunity to
hand pick the weevils before squares
are formed He also brought out the
fact that if cotton stalks are destroyed
during the late summer the greater
proportion of the weevil are killed and
only few survive the winter.
Mr.. Worsham then called attention
to the necessity of better cotton, il
cotton is to be successfully raised un-
der boil weevil conditions, and re-
ferred briefly to the work prosecuted
by the state board of entomology dur
ing the past ten years to improve the
cotton plant
Having set forth the life history of
the weevil and the necessity for better
cotton Mr.. Worsham devoted the re-
nainder of his talk to the work neces-
sary for the successful raising of cot
ton under boil weevil conditions, stat
ing that wherever the procedure rec
smmended by the state and government
officials had been followed cotton corps
varying from so to 1870 of the normal
had been successfully raised, and stat
Ang forcefully the possibility of rails

Miraculous Escape Marks The
Collision of Train And Ford

Nothing but the hand of Providence

dent, with alarming results, when the
Seaboard Air Line railway passenger
train, eastbound, just about dark yes
terday afternoon hit a Ford automo-
bile containing Arthur Prather John
son, the young son of MIR. and Mrs. O..
C. Johnson, and Ernest Mathis, the
young son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. B. Mathis.
The car was travelling down Furlow
street, and natural distractions pre-
vented a sight of the train, while the
train was rounding a curve at this
point and Engineer Tarver, at the
throttle, was unable to catch sight Of
the approaching automobile.
But, as if by miracle, young Mathis
was hurled from the car under the
train between the middle of the tracks,
and the line of passenger coaches
passed sefely over his PROSTATE body,
and except for the experience of a
slight sprain of his back, he is none
the worse for the incident Mathis was
thrown between the trucks of the car,
and because of no eye-witnesses it Is
