BOIL WEEvIL MEET
!. HERE OCTOBER "a
STATE ENTOMOLiGlST WORSHAM
AND OTHER EXPERTS WILL
Z GIVE DAY TO FARMERS AND
BUSINESS MEN OF CRISP.

The boil weevil and how to grow co..
ton under boil weevil conditions VIII
be the chief topics of discussion by eH-
perts at a meeting for farmers and
business men at the Crisp county
court house Tuesday, October "a, be-
ginning at 10 a. m.
The entire day will be given by
these experts to serving the farmers
and others who may be interested in
learning how to cope with the Doll
weeyil. Not only will the experts lee
ture and illustrate from the platform,
but they will go to the fields with the
farmers where the pest actually eX-
lists and explain its habits and the
best methods of fighting it.
f. Lee Worsham, state entomologisi,
will be among the experts and will be
among the principal speakers to ad-
dress the farmers. A representative
of Mr.. Worsham was in the city Mon
day to arrange for the meeting and tc
bring notice of it through the news
dapers and otherwise to the farmers
and business men of the city and coun
ty.
eff the farmers of this county could
make trip through Clay Miller, Cal
Kun, Early and other counties in the
boil weevil infested section, they
would certainly know the advantage
of preparing for the invasion OF the
pest and waging a continuous fight
against it," said Mr.. Worsham's rep
resentatives There are farmers in the
counties have named that have not
secured onefourth of an average crop
of cotton, simply because they did not
believe thai the boil weevil was COM
ing, or that it would do much damage
after it came. Together with other
methods of fighting the weevil, the
farmers must revolutionize things in
the way of planting. They must plant
as early as possible and use an early
maturing variety"

ROSH HASHANAH
JEWISH new YEAF
"DAY OF MEMORIAL" COMES or
THURSDAY AND SERVICES WILL
BE HELD AT w. o. w. HALL
FROM WEDNESDAY NIGHT
THROUGH FRIDAY.

The Jewish population of CordelC
and number of visiting Jews from
surrounding towns will on Wednesday
evening begin the observance of ROsh
Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, also
called Yom Hazikoron, translated
meaning the Day of Memorial Tho
day of Rosh Hashanah is the first day
of the month of Tishri, or falls eacl
year after 3G5 moons following the
New Year previous. Among the more
orthodox it is the custom to observe
second day in connection with prac
tically all of the more important Jew
ish holidays and festivals. This Gus
tom on their part grew out of certain
complex conditions in the caiendatior
of early rabbinical times. The mcOm
ing New Year is 5677.
Rosh Hashanah comes on Thursday
this year, though the services for the
occasion among the local observants
will begin on Wednesday evening anG
continue through Friday, Services
will be held at the w O. w. hall on
Wall street at 1880 p. M. Wednesday
and Thursday and at a. m. Friday.
These services will be conducted by
Mr.. George Miller in the absence of a
Rabbi.
Solemn services characterize the OBJ
servance of Rosh Hashanah. 1t is a
time dedicated to retrOspection, in
trospecton and resolutions for the flu
ture The day bears the special des-
ignation of Jam-ha-Di or a Day OF
Judgment. The familiar greeting in
terchanged by Jews on Rosh Hash
analI is, "leshonah toyah ti-kesevu,
meaning may you be inscribed for a
good year
An important feature of the ritual
of RoSh Hashanah is the blowing OF
the shofar. or rams horn. In ancient
days the sounding Of this instrument
was associated with times Of national
crisis and other solemn occasions.
There are various fanciful eXplana-
tons of the connection of the shofar
with the celebration Of Rosh Hash
anah. Each of its dominant notes
likewise has been given symbolic sig
nifcance. AS the tones of the shofar
are of a peculiarly piercing quality
the sounding of the shofar may be re-
garded as clarioncall to the CON
science to strive for higher life i'll the
new year. The prominence accorded
to the ceremony of the sounding OF
the shofar during the services Of Rosh
Hashanah known as the yom hate
ruah, "the day of the sounding Of the
shofar'
The Day of Atonement, another
Jewish holiday, falls on Oct Z.

mess, the state democratic convention
yesterday unanimously declared Hugh
M. Dorsey, of Atlanta, the nominee OF
the democratic party; endrsed the ma

the court of appeals bench; and Sc
lected the statehouse officers elected
by popular vote in the primary of

Dorsey faction facilitated the business
of the convention and prevented what
would have been-if votes had been
distributed in slightly different way
: "A long. tedious session. The court
of appeals race was the only one in
which any real "politicking' was done,
and in that race the Dorsey slate, as
made at noon yesterday, was carried
through.

landing Gov Harris for the accom-

conceded the defeat of his candidate
and moved to make the election unan'

was met with a thunder of applause
and an ovation followed.
