THE BOIL WEEV|L

GLOOMY PROSPECTS AHEAD IF
PEST KEEPS UP ITs PRESENT
PROGRESS MUCH LONGER

Scarcely q Field Exempt, and Il Now
Looks al II The Year 1921 10 to
Be q Real Boil Weevii Year

st. Matthews.-If the boil weevil
should keep up his march Of invasion
until the end Of the season as he is
now doing in this part Of the country.
incalculable harm Is going to come to
the farmers. With only few report
ed here and there last season, there
was little apprehension that he would
do anything more than make his de-
but and get acquainted this year. The
extraordinary prospect for a good
crop in the early and middle summer
and the excessive fruitage seemed to
contradict his presence and little fear
was manifest. But while confidence
reigned, the weeviI worked and now
he is not only present, but is here in
force and sowing disaster. In many
sections Of the county. planters now
say that they will do we'll to harvest
half crop. Others report the dam
age still greater. Scarcely field IS
exempt and it now appears that 1921
will be a real bool weevil year for
Calhoun. 1t is no longer argued that
the weevil does not thrive except in
low places. The refreshing zephyrs,
Of Calhoun's hills seem to invigorata
him and urge him on his turried way.

BATTLE FOR LIFE AFTER FOUR
YEARS NOW NEARING AN END

Atlanta, Mar. lin affirming the
judment OF Early superior court Tues
day in the case Of Ulysses Goolsby,
the supreme court has probably made
certain the imposition Of the death
sentence upon the defendant after
battle for life lasting. four years.
Twice before has the case been before
the supreme tribunal and each time
a new trial has been granted. Every
time that an appeal is made to an
! Early county jury however. verdict
of guilty has b9an returned and the
death sentence imposed.
; The facts III the case are substantl-
ally as follows: Early in 1916 II. j.
Villipigue, an Early county farmer,
whipped negro boy named Ulysses
Goolsby severely with buggy whip
covering him with pistol all the
while, because he claimed that the boy
would not give him the road when
they passed.
The next day the boy and his ia
Their, Granderson Goolsby, went to see
Villipigue. An alteration ensued
over the whipping of the boy, Villip'
que declaring that he would kill him.
Shots were exchanged on both sides
and Villipigue was killed. A little Ia
ter, the father, Granderson Goolsby,
was lynched by a mob. Ulysses made
his escape and was captured in Cleve'
land, Miss.

OUTLOOK FOR MELON
GROWERS IS GOOD
BIG BUYERS STATES

Moultrle, Ca, Mar. 10.-The outlook
for watermelon growers this season
is very encouraging, according to R. s.
Roddeberry, who is one of the largest
buyers and shippers of melons in this
section of the state. The indications
point to a good price, even better than
it was last year, in Mr.. Roddebery's
opinion. 1t Isl also believed that the
car situation will be much better this
season than it was last year. The
rolling stock Of the railroads is in bet.
ter condition than 1t was year ago
and the railroads are expected to give
better service under private control
than under government management.

some farmers who felt that they were
in an experimental stage and that the
plants which were being produced
might not be dependable. The record
of electric plant service in the war
has swept away this doubt entirely.
One manufacturers alone supplied ov-
Ell 1000 plants to the government.
These little electric generating sc is
were used in all kinds of work-fhr
the operation of X-ray machine, wire
less apparatus, to light field hospitals,
to operate trench telephone and sig
nal sets and for a wide variety of
other electrical uses. Under practical
war conditions it was impossible tt
give them the care which machinery
should have in order to secure salts
factory operation and yet these little
plants were always on the job, reliv-
ering service some times for "a hours
a day.
Surely if they can survive the siren
uous service that war activities de-
mand they are capable of giving the
farmer and his family plenty of light
and power for his home.
