automobile to the home of Hudspeth
another car to this city for doctors
to care for them and for more gums
and ammunition and more men.
The whole of Early county and the
lower part of Clay county have been
excited throughout the day and night
over the murder of Villipigue, and
declared almost to a man to obtain
revenge.
Spirit Not Satisfied.
Blakely people are said to be in an
ugly mood tonight. Negroes are keep
ing within their doors. 1t is feared
by many that there might be further
trouble, though cooler heads are try
ing to get the people Quoted down.
The number of wounded, it is be-
lieved, is much greater than reported.
Several of Sheriff Howells deputies
are known to have received slight
wounds, though nothing of a serious
nature.
The trouble resulting in the TRACE
dies of today started on Tuesday.
When Villipigue was coming to this
city he met a negro who would not
give him a part of the road and their
buggies locked and the negro impo-
litely told Villipigue to back UP and
drive around him.
Villipigue got out of his buggy and
is said to have struck the negro with
his whip. Then he resumed his jour
ney to this city. This negro was a
son of Grandson Goolsby, one of the
few well-to-do negro farmers in Geor-
gia.
Wednesday morning Goolsby came
to Blakely and bought a large supply
of ammunition. Villipigue also came
here to meet his wife, who had been
away on a visit When the overseer
reached his home he found the Gools-
bys waiting for him and they opened
fire on the overseer.

NnAMACE BY BOIL WEEVIL
GREATER THAN IMAGINED"

The first year that the weevil gets
they manage to raise enough to live
there they begin to diversity, and
on, but nothing to spend, and it is
very probable that they will raise a
surplus of other crops next year for
the markets. Numbers of the land
owners will let the tenants remain on
the land without charging any rent
in order to keep them there. Ad-
vancing is cut out and the country is
put on a strictly cash basis. The
greatest sufferers are the supply mer-
chants and advance men. Their trade
is practically stopped by the weevil,
and the towns take on a mighty pan
icky appearance and the few people
who have little cash squeeze to it.
They have lost confidence, and the
country rocks along in state of I'M
certain restlessness.
The proper thing to do is to raise
cotton as side crop and decrease
your acreage every year. You can't
make the change after the weeVil ar
rives, because it costs too much, and
the last crop of cotton will ruin you.
The farmers who have taken the
duflC6 vi LuOO6 Win III
weevil have profited, are not hurt by
the weevil, and get along better than
they did before the weevil arrived.
But there are only few who have
done this. Most of them are just
alike. They just keep along in the
same old rut and trust to luck that
the Lord will save them. But the
Lord will certainly turn you over to
the weevils, and no trusting will do
any good.
The Only Salvation.
AS an instance CT the success of
farmers who have left the culture
of cotton as a money crop l have
the following before me: One large
planter shipped two cars of wheat to
the market this year where he had
never raised anything but cotton be-
fore. Another shipped two cars of
hogs, numbers of them shipped cars
of cattle, one shipped two cars of
turkeys. There are plenty of peanuts
on the market, and the oil mills are
arranging to take care of them by in
Sailing peanut crushers. Alfalfa and
other hays are being grown in large
quantities. Every negro has his hogs
and potatoes and plenty of corn to do
him the coming year. These condl-
tions make things not so hard on the
farmer, but the poor merchant IS the
fellow who catches it.
Freight Receipts Light.
In the fall of the year UniOntown
always would receive large shipments
of freight. The stores would put on
extra clerks. Now the forces are re-
duced, and the town will not receive
an average of two car load shipments
of freight week. Everything is
handled in broken cars and in small
quantities. Statistics show the
freight business for the fall months
much smaller than it ever was in the
summer-the dullest season-betore
the weevil arrived.
If the business men OF Dawson
would organize a club to cooperate
with the farmers and investigate the
weevil conditions they would be max
ling a most valuable investment.
They could regulate the credits, the
crops and everything else, as well as
find a market for the other crops.

SAYS WAR WILL MAKE WOMEN
A DRUG ON THE MARKET
Warning That Should Cause Them to
Get ON the Job This Leap Year.

WASHINGTON.-Prof. Emily G.
Bach, of Wellesley college, told the
American Sociological Society here
today that one of the effects of war
on the status of women would be to
make them a drug on the market. ,"
1T may be that in more primitive
times" she said, such a situation
would be a cause of polygamy. In
our day it will mean a vast overplus
of women. Men will return not only
with Importance enhanced by the glo-
ry of the battlefield but with a scare
ity value. A second and conflicting
effect is that women being more nee
essary become more important in
stead of less. A third effect will be
great increase of unmarried wo-
men,

Mrs. Pape, who made the odd pro-
vision of her will, was an ardent be-
lever in the pleasures of life. She
saw no sense in mourning or in grue-
some obsequies; and she therefore
decided to turn mourning into JOY
in her own case. When Mrs. Pape
died the club attended in a body,
and the members also attended her
cremation, after which they adjourn
ed to the home of another member
and held a jolly house party in order
to carry, out the intent of the de-
parted.

RAILROAD BUILDING
SHOWS A DECREASE
Less in 1918 Than Any Year Since
1864. More Miles in Hands of
Receivers of Railroads.

CHICAGO.-Fewer miles of rail-
road were built in the United States
during 1915 than in any other year
since 1864, and more miles of rail
road were in receivers hands during
the year than ever before, according
to railroad statistics compiled from
official sources by the Railway Age
Gazette and made public tonight.
There have been only three other
years since 184S in which the in
crease in railway mileage was less
than 1000, and those were the civil
war years Of 1861, 1862 and 1864.
In 1915 the total miles of new rail
road constructed in the United States
were 933 compared with 1882 in
1914 and 3,O17 in 1918.
