Deadly Poison to Eradicate Weevil.

Washington, Oct. 9.-A deadly poi
son to the boil weevil, the insect
which has cost southern cotton plant
ers 100000 annually, has been
discovered in the form of dry pow
dered calcium arsenate by the bureau
of entomology of the department of
agriculture Although calcium arse
nate has been used at the government
experimental stations since 1914 as
an insecticide, the department of agri-
culture has started only recently the
campaign for wide application of the
poison. Already cotton planters are
showing keen interest in the expert
ment and many planters over the en-
tire belt have treated their fields.

HOW CHEOPS BROKE A STRIKE.
Soldiers Ended Walkout of Pyramid
Workers With Swords.

Labor strikes are not the product
Of the last hundred years, as some
people think. They were frequent
even in the earlier record days.
One of the greatest strikes that the
world has ever known occurred N
Egypt in the reign Of Cheops, several
thousand years before the Christian
era.
Cheops ordered a great pyramid to
be built in his honor, and while it
was in course of construction it is
said that $4,000 workmen downed
tools and refused to continue the
work.
The reason they gave was that the
food with which they were furnished
was insufficient in quantity and poor
in quality.
The contractors tried arguing with
them, and when that failed soldiers
were ordered to drive the strikers
back to work. Many thousands of
them were cut to pieces, while a GER
tain number escaped and fled the
country.
The others were compelled to re-
sumo their work.

YACHT OWNERS SEND
FOR PLEASURE CRAFT

Palm Beach, Fla, Dec. IA large
fleet of pleasure yachts and privately
owned cruisers started north today
mostly by the inland water route, IN
response to "SOS" kilograms from
their owners.
The cause of all the hurry was
learned to be the inability of many
wealthy persons to secure private
Pullman cars or reservations or any
kind of desirable railroad accommo-
dations. to bring them from New
York. philadelphia and other cities to
their winter homes here. The Goa
strike is responsible. In sheer desper-
alton they wired for their yachts
which had previously been sent her
to await their coming.

U. S. OFFICERS SLEW LEADER
OF HAYTIAN BRIGANDS.
Marine Trailed Charlemange to Camp
Swamp-Bandit Rand is
CAPTURED.


Facing death at the hands of the
banditti led by Charlemange, the
desperate who has terrorized Hayti
for twenty years, and in the swamps
that surrounded the recess where
Charlemange had built his headquar-
tiers, two daring officers of the United
States Marine Corps rivaled the cap
ture of Aguinaldo in the killing OF
the Haytian bandit and the arrest OF
his followers four weeks ago says the
New York Herald
The story of Charlemangue's death
was brought to New York yesterday
by Miss Marie Adele Lincoln of Au-
gusta. Me-, formerly a navy nurse,
later in the Marine Corps, and engag-
ed by the Public Health Service fol-
duty in Port au Prince, who arrived
on board the Dutch steamship Prince
Frederick Henrik.
For two decades Charlemangue had
raided and killed and stolen as he
willed in Hayti. After the arrival of
the marines, who were landed thert
last spring to restore order, he be-
came particularly active. The marines
organized a native constabulary, Off
cered by American men, in an en-
deavor to effect his capture, but
Charlemangue, who knew every foot
of the island, eluded them success
fully. Captain Hannagan and Lieut.
enant Button were two of these Off
GERS.
Stole Away from Headquarters.
Captain flanagan and Lieutenant
Button" Miss Lincoln said, "disap-
peared from their headquarters with
out taking any one except their su-
periors into their confidence. Natives
and Americans believed them dead,
probably victims of Charlemangue's
torture. Charlemangue had captured
a marine sergeant guarding an air
plane while the aviator went for, as
sistance in the timber lands, and tor
tured and killed him and stole the
machines gun a short time before.
This created grave apprehension on
the part of the Americans as to tn
fate of flanagan and Button.
"But flanagan and Button had
dis guised themselves as natives and
joined one of the lesser bands OF
bandits. Their daring won the conf
dence of these robbers and they
sought acquaintance with Charlie
mangue, but the wary chieftain never
permitted them near his quarters
flanagan and Button learned that
Charlemangue was to hold an impor-
tant conference at Plaisance in the
wilderness below Cape Haytian.
Shoots Bandit Leader Dead.
"They stole out through the swamps
crossed two rivers, eluded the six
outposts Charlemangue had estab-
lished and finally crept to cabin be-
fore which bonfire famed brilliant
ly. They had travelled twelve miles
through almost impossible wilder
ness. They saw figure emerge from
the cabin, a huge man, who stopped
at the fire. Captain flanagan level
led his automatic and fired twice.
Both bullets were effective and the
captain and lieutenant fled through
the under -sh
"Soon Captain flanagan and
Lieutenar luton led a squad of tn
constabulary into the interior and in
quick attack captured many of the
bandits gang and took Charleman-
gue's body to headquarters.

EXCESSIVE PRICE OF PAPER.

The Herald has been bothered for
some time by the excessive price of
paper. This is no idle wall, but fact.
1t is announced by the paper makers
that the consumption of paper in the
United States is 20 per cent beyond
the production thereof. and that the
situation is serious one for the
newspaper industry unless consump-
ton is curtailed.
1t appears to be mighty hard
thing in some quarters to curtail con-
sumption. The trouble does not lie IN
the smaller cities or the small towns,
but in the large centers of population,
where papers put out enormous sun
day editions, three-quarters filled
with bunk, merely because it has be-
come a habit to do so in American
metropolitan journalism. One issue OF
a Chicago paper, for instance, cons
sumes $50 tons of paper for one Sun
day issue. Manifestly this is an alb
surdity. Such a waste Of paper should
not be permitted by the government.
When there is scarcity of an ar
ticle its waste should be curtailed,
and the right way to do it is to be-
gin with the big useless Sunday is
sues. Mere ability to buy paper should
not be the criterion for getting it.
If there were shortage of bread
in the country We would not think
of letting the man with money buy
more than his share; why should the
government permit wasteful metro
politan journalism to eat into the
available supply of white print pap
er and thus cause an unreasonable
hoist in the price of paper to others?
The newspapers, particularly the
smaller newspapers that depend OH
a limited circulation, have been hit
pretty hard. The price of ordinary
news paper has advanced from 81
per hundred to $3.50 per hundred,
while there mas been very small
advance in subscription and advertis-
ing rates. The price of inks, type and
all other materials that enter into
tho making of a newspaper has ad-
vanced from 100 to 500 per cent.
while there has been an advance of
something like 100 per cent.
in the price OF labor. The great ma
jority of newspapers were just about
breaking even before the war, and il
is evident that many of them have
been losing heavily for the past three
years. Advertising is on the increase.
Many of the larger corporations are
spending millions in advertising
where they spent only thousands be-
fore the war. This helps reduce the
excessive war profits tax and at the
same time gives these establishments
the benefit of great deal of publicity
which will return handsome dividends
In the future. For this reason the
consumption of newspaper is bound
to continue to increase, and the only
hope for the smaller newspapers Is
to increase advertising and subscrip-
tion rates.

CERTIFICATE RECITAL
MISS WAVA DAME.

Beautiful in every detail was the
Certificate Recital of Miss Wava
Danes last evening. Never before
in the history of Cordele has young
girl fourteen years played with
such grace and ease selections from
the worlds greatest composers. Her
happy bright disposition has won her
many friends as was shown by the
fact that there was a filled house to
greet her, and that she received
many beautiful flowers and gifts of all
kinds.
The Conner School Glee Club look
ed very pretty, the girls wearing
white suits and purple ties. They
sang beautifully keeping perfect
time. The applause was as much that
they were compelled to repeat the
chorus OF one song.
Col, w. H. Doris, in presenting
the certificate said that Cordele
should indeed be very proud of the
Conner School of music and to Miss
Dame he said that as she had done
such great work in the past, that we
expected wonderful things in the
future.
Miss Dame wore lovely dress of
white crepe de chine trimmed with
lace and beads.
Miss Conner wore midnight blue
georgette dress trimmed in red and
black beads.
