travail of the taxpayers. His name was
Judge Stith. The $4,000 was paid in

boil WEEV|L". Burnley
COMPLETES 1877 SEASON
Government Expert Has Done
a Tremendous AmountOf
Work During Year

ALBANY. Ga. Oct 3o.--C. b. Burley,
better known throughout the cotton belt
las Boil Weevil' Burnley. has completed
his work in Georgia for the 1917 season
and today left for his home in Louisa ma,
where he will rest until time to take up
his work for next season. Albany will
not be his headquarters next wear as it
was this year, il having been announced
that he will be located at Macon in 1918,
that city being nearer the center of his
field of activities due to the onward
march of the boil weeviI. His work next
year will be in middle and north Geor-
gia, preparing the farmers there for the
coming of the pest and helping them in
fighting it,
In the last twelve months Mr. Burley
has visited &c counties, delivered Is lee
lures to total of $4,000 farmers and
business men. Travelled $4,000 miles by
rail and 5000 miles by automobile, and
paid visits to more than 200 individual
farmers on their farms, always spread
ing informa ton and instructions as to
the best methods of combating the pest
and raising crops under boil weevil con-
ditionS. More than half of the county
demonstration agents with whom he has
conferred IN this work have volunteered
the information that they are better
qualified 10 handle the fight after having
received his instructions.
Farmers and business men throughout
south Georgia by the scores have ex-
pressed the belief that boil Weevil'
Burley's work has saved thousands of
dollars to the communities in which his
instructions have been followed.
Mr.. Burley came to Georgia a year
ago. having been sent by the federal gov
eminent from Louisiana, where he
studied conditions at first hand for many
years The. result of those observations
was practical knowledge of how to farm
successfully Under boil weevil condi-
tons, and south Georgia has benefited
greatly thereby.
boil Weevir' Burley is commended
to the farmers and business men of his
new territory in middle and north Geor-
gia by those of south Georgia, with
the assurance that if his instructions
are followed the invasion of the cotton
pest will not be as disastrous as it has
proved in sections where proper meth
DDS were not used in combating it.

OFFICER IS FIRST .
AMERICAN INJURED
IN FRONT TRENCH
u, S. Lieutenant Wounded by
Shell Splinter While Working
in a TrenCh-WaS Member
Of Signal Corps

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN
FRANCE. Oct. 29.-(By the Associated
Press THE first American wounded IN
the trenches arrived today at base hos
pital. He is lieutenant of the signal
corps. He was hit in the leg by a shell
splinter while working in a trench near
the first line. The wound is slight.
The weather was cold and clear today
in the American sector.
The first verified death from an Ameri-
can bullet fired by a sammy in trench
war that of nineteen-y ear old German
landstrumer. He was the first prisoner
taken by American soldiers in their first
excursion over No Mans Land and he
died in an American field hospital just
behind the lines.
Two Americans were out over the
top" under cover of darkness and rain
one recent night when they sighted two
moving figures. The shadowy forms
fled. Both Americans fired. One Boche
escaped, but the other fell. In two jumps
the Americans were on him, finding the
surprised Teuton nursing a badly shat
tered arm. He was escorted back to
the trenches.
An American ambulance stumbled
along the treacherous and slippery road,
under occasional shellfire to the dress
ing station. There the German had been
temporarily bound UP. He was lifted
aboard the ambulance by two soldiers,
one from Ell VPaso, Texas. the other from
Oakland, Cal.
The American ambulance slid and
scurried back to the field hospital.
There a Texas surgeon operated at once
on the prisoner. For time he seemed
to be progressing nicely, but the wound
had been infected and gangrene devel-
oped. American surgeons did their ut
most to save his life but in vain. The
prisoner said he was delivering mail to
his comrades and got mixed up in taking
short cut across No Mans land.
