ALABAMA MAN WRITES OF
BOIL WEEVIL DEVASTATION

Writing in a personal communica-
ton to r. c. Moran, of Americas, ]. L.
Bishop, a well known attorney of Sell
ma, Ala, who has extensive farming
interests in Dallas and other Alabama
counties in the famous Black Belt of
that state, tells an interesting story of
devastation wrought by the boil weevil
i'll that fertile section, and with the
'weevil making its first invasion of Sum-
ter county this year, the letter may be
Of interest to farmers in this section of
Georgia.
I've got last year (l915)," writes
Mr. Bishop, only 1880 bales at the
Selma presses, against $4,000 bales the
year before 1914, and the yearly ay-
eTage during the past ten years is
AZ 900 bales This statement indicates
that, as compared with the ten-year
average, Selmas cotton receipts de
creased the first year of the boil weevil
invasion 10000 bales, or approximately
the same number of bales as are an
nually handled at Americas. while
compared with the previous year
G9l5), Mr.. Bishops statement is even
more startling, as it shows a loss at
Selma, of 42,200 bales. or more thaa
has ever been received in Americas
during any one year unless this figure
was exceeded during the bumper crop
year 1911
These figures are furnished the

SEASONS OPEN UP
WEEK FROM MONDAY

ALBANY, Ca, April 8.-One week
from next Monday, which is April II,
the South Atlantic league will start
its season of 1916. Albany will open
the season at home, under the leader
ship of Perry Lipe, playing the Ma
con Tigers.
The league this year will bring in
more new and young ball players than
il has in several seasons past. The
rules of the league allow but three
Class c men, including the manager,
to every cub, and while every aggrega-
ton in the circuit with the exception
Oh Albany, has more than three Glass
&c men training at present, they will
have to cut down to the limit of three
Ly opening day. Albany's two Glass c
men are Lipe and Burmeister. The
third is yet to be selected. The club
owners are after third one now, but
there is disagreement in regard to
salary that has not been adjusted.
This year Albany will 60 into the
ponnant race with a manager expert
enced in Sally League ball, and play
ers who comprise that league. Than
Lipe there has never been a manager
who has studied the South Atlantis
league situation more closely. He has
proved this by the winning aggrega-
tons he has put together.

Americas people are peculiarly in
terested in the announcement made az
Albany that Perry Lipe will manager
the Albany team of the South Atlantic
league this season. Lipe spent the
winter months this former home in
Irving, Ill, where Mrs. Lipe, formerly
Miss Ona McAfee, of Americas, now
are. Lipe reached Albany a day or
two ago, and is now busy getting his
men together there.
Perry is well known here in Ameri-
Gus, where he is popular among a
wide circle of friends. During the
winter of 1914, he served as a brake
man on the Alabama division of the
Seaboard, with headquarters here
while keeping his muscles in condi-
ton for the ball season. Last year, as
manager of the Savannah Sally league
club, Lipe made an enviable record
and prior to his connection with the
Savannah outfit his showing at Macon
was brilliant.
A host of Americas friends wish Lipe
success in his pennant race this year
and will watch closely his career at
manager of the Babies.

Clean-Up Weeks a Huge
Success For Americus Folks

Clean-Up Week in Americas is more
than a name. The work under the
direction of the Music Study club is
progressing as favorably as could be
expected, and all over the city a differ
ent appearance is being presented.
The citizens have entered into the
spirit of the movement with zest and
determination to make Americas the
city beautiful, the Gem City of All
Southern Georgia"
In this connection The Times-Re-
corder would urge that when Cleanup

VIC not forget to keep them so, recog
nizing the fact as you walk along the
streets and see cutters strewn with
refuse. 1t looks bad.

ton the dark corners it looks bad and
suspicious.
When you see papers blowing around
over town it indicates that people
are careless. 1t is bad.

Interested. Continuing in his letter,
MIR. Bishop comments upon the effect of
the boil weevil invasion on land values
about Selma, but asserts these have
not been seriously affected as yet, The
coming fall, in his opinion however, is
destined to see a material reduction in
values there, unless some method of
combating the weeyil is evolved, or

 A stimulating volume with a kick" is this one upon how to get the best out of life. It Is not the sentimental trash found in the so-called happy" or glad" books but rather a common sense, enthusiastic introduction for men and women who do the work of the world to the great source of in spiration and ellowship-literature
 Do eyou unsatisfactorily stutter and stumble through life or do you find splendid activity that gladdens your heart and fills you full of the thor oughgoing ecstasy of living? Some men are afraid of books and some are afraid of life; some do not understand books, and some do not sympathize with or care to understand life. Literature is the key to the door of life for those who wish to open. That is the mes sage of the author and 1t Is delivered in a fascinating, stimulating style.
 There is 8 chapter on reading fic- ton. If you are a man or woman who uses up the leisure hours in gallop- ing through a horde of modern novels learn how your fiction reading may be part of your life. The influences the novel of today exerts upon your life tomorrow, The chapter gives you greater sympathy and understanding.
 There are chapters on History and Your Vote" showing how knowledge of history will make you a wise man upon election day, upon History as Literature" and as a method of pass ing the evening superior to the pe- rusal of the sporting page in the news paper, upon poetry. upon the literary naturalists and the great men who ap- pear behind their books-Villon, Whit man, Carlyle, Tolstoy, etc
 The pleasure and value of literature Is not of the delight you experience in turning the pages, but in the effect they have upon your goings and com ings afterward Read books in your library, public or private, in bed, or in suburban trains, carry with you what you have read and live it in the office, the street, the kitchen and the market. Then you will get the good things out of literature. "Open that Doorv'
 In a real sense 1t will give above all an inspiration: it will make an en- thusiast out of the veriest philistine. That is as good a thing as a philistine Is bad one.

THE LIFE OF JOHN A. RAWLINS'' By James Harrison Wilson. The Neale Publishing Co.,, publishers, New York.
 In a preface" to '"The Life of John A. Rawlins,' the author, James Harrison Wilson, says:
 'The purpose of this narrative is fully set forth in the following pages the preparation of which was begun, at his request, shortly after the death of Gen. eral Rawlins, and has been continued at various intervals of a busy life up to the present time. I have explored every pos sible source of information which prom ised to throw any light whatever on the services and relations of General Rawlins with General Grant, I have con- suited the official records, the Memoirs of General Grant, General Sherman and General Sheridan; the personal his- tory'' of General Grant by Badeau, as we'll as those by Coffee, Richardson, Deming, Dana and Wilson: the "Recollec- tions of Charles A. Dana;" the newspa- pers and magazines of the period, and especially the correspondence of General RawlinS.
 I am particularly indebted to S. Cad wallader esquire, of California, formerly war correspondent of the New York Herald. for access to his valuable work in manuscript, entitle -Four Years With Grant," to Hampstead Washburne, Esq., of Chicago, for copies of his fathers cor respondence with Rawlins, and to David Sheean, Esq. of Galena, H., for collect ing the letter of Rawlins to the various members of his family, for furnishing me with the family records, and for giving me his assistance with the manuscript and proofs at every stage of their prepa- ration.
 am also greatly indebted to the late J. Russell Jones of Chicago. and to the late Maj. Gen. John E. Smith and the late Dr. E. D. Kittoe of Galena, who were all lifelong friends of Rawlins and Grant and familiar with the history of their relations in both military and civil life
 I am under special obligation to Maj Gen. Grenville M. Dodge, who, from the rich stores of his memory and his records, has helped me with valuable facts and references covering many in- cidents in Rawlin's career from the time he entered the army till his death as Secretary of War.
