MAN
LOOKING AHEAD
A. j. CLARY FARMS IN RIGHT WAY
-SPLENDlD SHOWING FOR d.
INVESTIGATION.

The coming of the boil weevil holds
little fear for A. j. Clary, well known
and progressive farmer of the Pate
vile settlement. Mr.. Clary has al
ways found it profitable to diversity
and raise all OF his home supplies and
some to sell. The hog and hominy'
crinciple has been the one on which
Mr. Clary has farmed, and he has GER
tainly suffered none from it, Mr.. Cla-
ry has enjoyed prosperity equally as
bounteous as any other farmer in the
county, and much more than the av-
erage.
This year he planted twenty acres
in cotton, and it is a record to his cred
il as a progressive farmer that he will
realize about twenty-one bales from
the crop Mr.. Clary runs several
blows, but he has planted most of his
land, in wheat, corn, hay and other
crops and has raised hogs, stock and
cattle Next year he intends to cut
his cotton acreage and still expects to
produce bale to the acre, though he
realizes that he cannot do it without
the utmost precaution and care, if the
boil weevil gets into the crop.
Listen, Mr.. Clary has a bank ac-
count with money ahead!

new CREMATORY
SOON COMpLET |:
WORK WELL UNDER WAY AND
NEW PLAN WILL PROVIDE
SPLENDID DISPOSITION OF GAR
BAGE.

Work is progressing rapidly on Cor
dele's new crematory, which is being
constructed on a size adjacent to the
tracks of the Georgia Southern & Flor
ida railway, a block below the build
ings of the Standard Oil company on
Eighth street, north. 1t is to be OF
modern construction and it is conser-
vatively estimated that it will mean a
saving of more than $1,000 annually
to the city, besides providing facili-
ties for hastily and most effectively
disposing of the trash and garbage.
The Nye Crematory company, of Ma
con, who are installing the incenera-
tora, have given the city an iron-clad
contract, guaranteeing that the crema-
tory will be absolutely odorless and
smokeless. Alderman j. N. King,
chairman Of the finance committee,
mad who was chairman of the com
mittee of council that accepted the
Macon company's contract, states that
all trash and carcass will be imme-
diately consumed upon arrival at the
crematory.
Not only is it true that the crema-
tory and grounds will not be an un-
slightly place. as some would suspect,
but really the grounds fronting the
crematory are to be converted into
a flower garden, with hedges and
grass surrounding The remains from
the crematory will be used as fertili-
ger for the flower yards, and it is said
that there is not a better fertilizer for
the purpose.
Plans are already under way for the
construction Of a second crematory on
the same style as the one now being
Installed in the southeastern part OF
the city. It may be some time before
this proposition materialiZes, but at
present members OF the council are
much interested in seeing it carried
TO success.
To prove his faith in the crematOry
and that it will give perfect satisfac-
ton, Alderman King states that he will
be willing to donate the site on his
property in the southeastern part of
the city for the construction of this
second crematory

negro KNOCKED
Way To Freedom
BURGLAR CORNERED IN FINGER
HOME BRUISED MRS. FINGER IN
RUSH FOR WINDoW-MADE ES-
CAPE.

When Mr.. and Mrs Pardee Finger
. returned to their home Thursday
night from attending the Greenwood
shows they discovered a burly black
burglar in their home, and for time
considerable excitement prevailed in
that neighborhood in northeast Cor
dele. Mrs. Fingers mother had re-
manned at home to care for the chill
dren during the absence of Mr. and
Mrs. Finger though she did not hear
the negro when he entered the house.
1t is thought that he got an entrance
through a window, by which means he
made his escape.
Mrs. Finger was in the act of en-
tering the bath room, and the burglar
was evidently in the act of coming
out from his hiding place there. The
burly black grabbed Mrs. Finger about
the throat and thrust her to the floor
and jumping over her leaped out OF
a nearby open window Night Scar
gent Bray at police headquarters was
notified at once and two other officers
were summoned The premises were
searched and an effort made to track
the burglar, but no trace of him has
yet been found.
Mrs Finger was slightly bruised by
the negro's attack, but shortly recov
cred from the excitement and told the
officers and members of the family
how it had occurred.

WEEvIL Travelled
WIDELY IN GEORGIA
HALF OF ESTATE COVERED-FlR5T
FROST KILLING FROST WILL
PUT STOP TO RAVAGES.

Atlanta, Sept 21.--Already the boil
weevil has spread over more territory
in Georgia this year that it did the
whole of last year, and the migratory
period does not end until the first
Killing frost, about November /.
State Entomologist Lee Worsham
says the weevil began moving on
August Is, and constantly since that
time has maintained more than an
average progress unit: II has advanc-
ed more than in any other single sea
son, total, since it first entered Geor-
gia. The average in all the territory
covered by the pest has been an ad-
vance of fifty miles a season, and in
Georgia it has moved already more
than fifty miles.
The progress has been slow Mr.,
Worsham says, in North Georgia and
North Alabama, but at this time some
thing more than half OF Georgia has
been covered. From Harris county
down the weevil is very thick.
Just how much longer it will take to
cover the entire state Mr. WOrsham
will not estimate but he says that in
creased rapidity of the advance this
year is a new feature for immediate
attention and consideration among the
farmers. In those localities where the
methods of combating have been fol
lowed closely the farmers are in better
shape than elsewhere, and it is his
advice that advantage be taken of the
literature prepared by the department
on the boil weevil situation. There is
an abundant supply of the recent ex
haustive bulletin, which may be had
on application to the state entom0lo-
gist
Mr. Worsham advises at this time
that all the farmers of the state, es-
pecially in that portion nearest the
approach of the weevil, get their cot
ton out as quickly as possible, imme-
diately turn the stalks under at least
four inches, or else chop the stalks at
the ground, rake and burn them at
once.

ZONES LAYS PLANS
TO ENJOLN DLPPLNGS

He stated that the object Of the in
junction was to decide the constitu-
tionality of the existing law and that
he was in no wise connected with the
defense of any one connected with dy-
namiting watts and other depredations
in the county.
Mr.. Jones stated that while the
proceedings will be similar to those
brought in Thomas county against the
state and government, there would
be few points involved in the Brooks
county case that are not included in
the Thomas county papers. He made
no attempt to explain these, stating
that the papers would be filed at an
early date next week and at that
time would become public property.
Mr.. Jones also stated that he would
bring SIMILAR proceedings for citizens
Of CClGuitt, Grady and Lowndes coun-
ties and Hat 7lready done so for
Thomas county. 1t was first thought
that the Thomas county case would
be made test case for all counties,
but Mr.. Jones explains that no two
counties have the exact conditions
to deal with and for that reason it
was decided to bring injunction pro
ceedings in each individual county.

ENORMOUS POND DRAINED;
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE GET FISH

Moultrie, Sept. 22.-Several thou
sand persons, in fact crowd various
ly estimated to number from four to
. six thousand, gathered at Melton's
pend, formerly knows as Adams pond,
in Brooks county, Wednesday. Some
went 10 fish, others to buy fish and
many went just to be "a going" Col
quit, Brooks, LoWndes, Thomas, Ber-
rien, Tiff and several other south
Georgia counties were represented in
the huge throng. The buggies, Wag-
ons and automobiles used to trans
port the great crowd covered several
acres.
The dam holding back the huge
body of water which covered several
hundred acres, was cut several days
ago. Nets were stretched across the
mill races to keep the fish from get
ting by, for you see the object in
draining the pond was to get the fish.
The event had been we'll advertised

had been by word of mouth, and We'd

tically one thousand men had paid a
G dollar apiece to get out in the pond
and get fish any way that happened
to suit their fancy The great ma
: jority of the fishermen, however, were
using long seines. Bream, suckers
and jacks were being caught by the
thousands. AS fast as they were
brought to the banks they were sold
And the price they brought would
have pleased a Florida resort hotel
proprietor. Of course there was nc
standard price and the fish were sold
not by the pound, but at so much a
fish. If figured out about 25 cents a
pound on the average, however.
A number of those who flocked to
the pond, went prepared to stay two
or three days. Most of these made
the trip in tented wagons and drove
anywhere from so to Is miles.

GREEKS FOUGHT

GERS FO PRIVILEGE OF USING
PROFANITY.

Just exactly what caused it no one
knows but themselves, but it was quite
evident that when Nick Johns and Jim
Carlos, both Greeks, got into a spirited
'mix-up" at the union depot Friday
afternoon, they were very much
wrought up over something and about
as angry with each other as they
could have been at a Bulgarian tread
ing on their toes. Johns "cussed" all
the "cuss" words in the vocabulary of
profanity in the Geek language and
managed to get in a rev such words
in English. and Carlos talked back a
bit more mluly Du. evidently in some
what the same fashion.
Finally they came to blows and it
must have been about as war in that
vicinity as it is in the war zone where
their fellow countrymen get paid for
fighting. Luckily there were police
men near and the trouble was soon
ended Johns deposited a cash bond
of $40 with the officers and Carlos
received a little slip that read fail
not under penalty" and the two
Greeks went away, apparently on good
terms.
