IS no reason why they should not
become one OF the staple crops OF
this valley.
/, is likely that some other varie-
ties would do better here after be-
ing acclimated, but the Mexican has
that advantage already, and is an
old established crop, the chief dis
advantage hitherto being the low
price, but as they become better
known. the demand increases and
the price is likely TO compare favor
ably with the prices paid for other
staple products in the future.

CARRYING ECONOMY TO
ABSURD LENGTH IN ATLANTA

ATLANTA, Ca, July 14.-That econ
omy can be carried to such an absurd
and extreme length that it ceases to
be economy and becomes the rankest
waste, was strikingly demonstrated
yesterday in the house Of representa-
tives when that body spent an hour de-
batting whether or not to expend the
studendous sum of $40.
The average length of days session
of the house is three hours, or less The
cost of days session of the house is
about $1,000. On this basis an hours
debate costs the state from $3.50 to
$500 Consequently 1t cost the state of
Georgia form eight to twelve times
forty dollars to decide whether or not
to spend forty dollars.
And the purpose for which the money
was to be expended was an inspection
by a joint committee of two from the
house and one from the senate of the
stations at Valdosta and Thomasville,
where cotton is being raised under boil
weevil conditions.
This is probably the most important
single experiment ever made in the
state of Georgia inasmuch as the
whole future of the cotton growing in
dustry depends on the success with
which the ravages of the boil weevil
can be combatted.
After deciding to send the committee
to make the inspection the house took
a recess until Monday.

M'CURRY OF HARTWELL
VICTIM OF ACCIDENT

ATLANTA, Ga, July 14.-Members
of the legislature have become aroused
to the dangers of reckless running of

Hartwell, who is at the point of death

On last Wednesday night he ran
across the street to catch car in
front of his boarding house, and pass

head striking the pavement and pro-

which recovery is extremely doubtful.
The accident has started discussion
