COTTON BOIL WEEv|L
ENTERS PUTNAM CO.
And Spreading Rapidly in
Cotton Fields of Ad-
jacent Counties.

County Demonstration L. CantreIl
went out to Harlem on Wednesday
morning and inspected the cotton
field of Mr., Louis Bohannon. He
found plenty of cotton boil weevil ct
work.
Mr.. Bohannon knew that something
was destroying his cotton, but as he
had never had experience with the
boil weevil he couldn't place the in
sect He thought it was some kind
of worm and asked Mr.. CantrelI to
come and diagnose the trouble.
Mr.. Bohannon has some six acres
in cotton from which he has already
ginned about one bale: His future
pickings will be nil, at least for this
year. He is going to cut down the
stalks and burn them and do every
thing possible to prevent the spread
of this evil.
But the weevil spreads rapidly: it
was known to be in Clay county and
as Mr.. Bohannon is not fer from the
line his field was one of the first to
suffer The pest is also travelling
rapidly in Alachua county and is now
as far south as Gainesville.
The weevil is Of the bette family with
snout. Its head is elongated and
curves downward to form a kind of
snout. The antennae are geniculate
and the covering of the body is hard
and inclined to be rough. 1t pokes
its snout into the budding boil and
then lays its eggs in the hole. This
cotton boil weevil does not bother
other varieties of plants, unless it
be okra. But cotton is its one re-
lance and it does put the kibosh on
its culture wherever it gets a foot
hold

Prophet Ewers Still Thinks
End of World is APP
preaching.

Good bye, brother RUSSELL" sale

Wednesday morning, "the tent is NOV.
ing today"
80? Pm sorry replied the
scribe, 81 had hoped you would re-
main to the end and assist some of
us in the ascension when the crash
came; sorry also because you have
you" " ''''''
81 can't help you any in the ascen-
SION" replied the prophet, "each man
will have to be his own pilot then;
yes, am sorry to leave Palatka;
have enjoyed it here, but we have to
90 to Orlando
Another man said he was going to
Orlando as soon as his official duties
were over" remarked the scribe "and
as a result of that threat several
prominent men have left the place; |
hope you will not further depopulate
the city; it is a pretty city and has
- VI u iSilV pl oOpCSlS.
"Orlando is our headquarters" re-
piled the prophet, "and they know US;
| don't think there will be any to
move away because of our return.
They know u.s."
Brother" Ewers has been in Palat-
ka some six months and his tent
at the corner of Reid and Fourth
streets has been the meeting place
of a number Of people who love the
in religion.
The gospel this man breaches is
one that appeals strongly to people
with wheels in their head. 1t was
only few weeks ago that an educat-
ed man committed suicide in this city
because his wife had "gone daffy"
over the peculiar religion of these
tent meetings.
Early in the spring the prophet in
charge made very positive prophe-
5y; he said the end of the world was
nigh; that there were gray-headed |
men walking the earth today who
would escape the natural death and |
would be taken up at the crash Of |
he earth in a leather umbrella, or
words to that effect. He had some
nen in this town worried. But The
News told em at the time that the
preacher was a fakir; that he didn't
now what he was talkin' about, and
hat he had no inside information.
hat brought "Brother' Ewers in to
ee US. He's a nice fellow; smooth,
ugary and built on correct specif
ationS for a preacher of queer doc
rine. He has winning ways.
Later in the season he offered to
ct any of the other ministers in
own 1000 that they couldn't show
i'm any thing in the scriptures to
rove that Sunday was the Sabbath.
# course he had no takers. The
ther ministers didn't notice him. Of
ourse their failure to take the bet
the prophet among the
ect
There are lots of people who can
e won by a bluff, even in religion.
Brother" Ewers is an expert relig- y
,us buffer. But>he's gentleman; |
fine man to meet, and when out of c
is tent rarely talks shop: he knows /
religious featherweight the moment
> spots him. and he works that class.

Headquarters of the Italian Army in Northern Italy, Wednesday. Nov. 2s- (By The Associated Press). Details have been officially received of one of the most sanguinary fights in the northern zone, in which two Austro- Hungarian regiments fought until they almost exterminated each other. The fight was back of Asiago during one of the main attacks against the Ital- fans.
 The enemy advanced from the two Hanks, and toward night regiment of Hungarian Czechs became engaged with a regiment of Galician Poles, both wearing different uniform and speaking a different dialect. The ri- f1e fire was followed by a bayonet charge and then hand to hand struggle with grenades lasting through the night. until the two regiments were disentangled after heavy losses, when it became known that th4y be- 1onged to the same side

NEW YORK WELCOMED THE
 NATIONS FIGHTING MEN
5000 Attended Dinner and Entertain -- naent at Madison Square Garden.


 New York Nov 29.-Neither the high cost of turkey nor the food con servation campaign had any visible epect upon the observance of Thanks giving day in New York. But there was a martial note in the festivities which has been lacking in other years, for thousands of soldiers, sailors and marines were honored guests in homes, clubs, hotels and restaurants. In fact, so great was the desire to honor the nations fighting men that there were not enough of. them to go around and many persons who had extended invi- tations had to do without khaki or blue clad guests.
 It was essentially a soldiers holiday and estimates placed the number of them entertained in the city at 30,000. The day began with services in the churches, where heartfelt prayers for the success and honor of Americas s arms were offered by hundreds of pas tors. priests and rabbis. Then fol- lowed the feasting and the entertain mentS.
 Probably the biggest event of the day was the dinner and entertainment given at Madison Square Garden by the Patriotic Service league. A uni- form was all the admission ticket re- quired and 6 900 soldiers and sailors were given a cordial welcome. Scores of famous actors and musicians pro- vided a continuous program from B. 30 o'clock in the afternoon until mid night.

HOW THANKSGIVING WAS
 OBSERVED IN LONDON
A Picturesque Service Was Held in Historic Church of St. EtheIburea.

London, Nov. 29--Thanksgiving was observed in London by the flying of American flags ,an informal dinner at the American officers club and a pie turesque united service on behalf of the United States and Great Britain in the historic church of St. Ethel
 burga. It was this church in which Henry Hudson was pariShioner and made communion before starting on his first voyage of discovery in the New World more than 300 years ago.
 Ambassador Page and Consul Gen era1 Skinner were represented official ly at the seryice4 (which ssyEas~attaHxfed by several distinguished Engiishmen and a number of American residents of London. The quaint old church, which is one of the landmarks of the city, was decorated with American and British flags. The service in cluded prayers for King George, Pres ident Wilson, Great Britain and the United States, and the singing of Hail Columbia, The Star SpangIed Ban ner, the Battle Hymn of the Repub- lie, God Save the King and My Coun- try 'Tis of Thee.
 The Rev. w. F. Cobb. the rector, in his sermon, spoke of President Wilson as a worthy successor to Washington and Lincoln, and as in some respects even stronger than they. No man, he said, ever so well expressed the great cause of freedom and justice for which America and Great Brit tain are striving, united in a bond such as now exists between the two countries; a bond of the heart, which never can be undOne.

| PHYSICIAN TESTiFIES AT
 MEANS MURDER TRIAL
That 1t Would Have Been impossible for Mrs. King to Fire the Shot That Killed Her.

Concord, N. C., Nov. 29-Over the vigorous objections of the defense, Dr. w. H. Burmeister, pathologist and coroner's physician of Cook county, illinois, was allowed by the court to testify today at the trial of Gaston B. Means that in his- opinion it would have been impossible for Mrs. Maude A. King to have fired the shot which caused her death at Blackwelder Spring, near here, the night of Aug ust 29
 An examination of Mrs. Kings body at Ehica by -pr.&I3urTneister after a local coroner's. jury had decided that her death was accidental, resulted in the starting of new investigation and the subsequent arrest of Means cn the charge of being her slayer. Dr. Burmeister told the jury that the wound was in the back of the woman's s head, that therc were no powder stains and that he believed it would have been impossible for a woman as stout as Mrs. King to have inflicted the wound upon herself
 pr. Burmeister's testimony and the telegrams and other documents, in -cluding a photographic copy of the probated will of the late J. c. King, husband of the dead woman while Americus E. Melville. of Chicago, Mrs Kings former lawyer, was on the stand, were the outstanding features of the second day of the states pres entatiOn of it's case.

CROWDER CALLS UPON
 POLICE TO AID ARMY
By Taking Siaekers Into Custody-$5o Paid for Each Delivery at Camps

Washington, Nov. 29.-Every police official in the country will become a part of the great machine organized for building the national army, under war. department plans announced to- day by Provost MarshaNgenera Crcwder. Postal authorities also will play an active part in helping to car ry out the new regulations and the department believes that with the aid of these two agencies, local exemption boards will be greatly assisted in reg istering the men and getting them to the training camps as they are called.
 Police throughout the nation will be instructed to take into custody men who fail to report for physical eXami- nation or who violate any of the new rules and regulations. They also will be charged to arrest and deliver to into the military service by the local boards and who fail to entrafn for mo- bilization. Such men are classed un- der military law as deserters and re- wards of $50 will be paid for their ar rest and delivery at the camps.
 All the elaborate machinery of the postofffce department will be used to see that questionaires are delivered to the men and are returned by them within the seven days time limit a1- lowed for filling them out. Postal of ficia1s also have been instructed by President Wilson and Postmaster General Burleson to cooperate with the local boards in delivering and for warding notices to registrants, par ticu1arly notices of entrainment as failure to respond to this notice classes the registrant as deserter.
