COPPER HUM0R
Much in Evidence by
Autoists on Road Be-
tween B a t h a n d
Brunswick

Even motor cop may shed rays Of
sunshine, but at the expense of auto
lists, according to the reports that
have been brought into Augusta. For
weeks now the stretch of Federal
road between Brunswick and Bath
has been carefully watched by the
motor police. Many a speeder has
been caught there.
A few days ago. a big car was
bowling along at 40 miles an hour on
the way to Bath. The machine was
ovcrhaulcd by a motor policeman and
, this colloquy ensucd:
Rushing to catch the ferry at
Bath?"
Yes, oh, yes"
"All right Fall in behind me and
/ I'll see that you get the ferry in
time"
SO, at j speed of Is miles an hour,
the big car fell in behind the motor
cycle and finally reached the Bath
, ferry. There the policeman saw to
it that the big ear boarded the ferry
and left on the ferry.
But-the driver OF the car really
had no intention of going across the
kennebec to WOolwich.
Shortly after this, a Massachusetts
car swept into Brunswick and took
the wrong side of the silent police
man.
why didn't YOU go on the right
side of that spindlc?" asked q police
man who was not silent
For the luvamike." came the reply,
have you got traffic laws down in
this deserted section of country?"
Dunno" said the smiling police
man. Lets ask the Judge"
The judge who sat on the case de-
cided there are motor laws in Bruins
wick and he saw to it that they were
duly enforced.

FITZGERALD PREDICTS
CARTER COUNTY WILL
NOT GIN 5000 BALES OF
COTTON IN YEAR 1921

Garter county, in my opinion, will
not gin 5000 bales Of cotton in 1921"
said d. C. Fitzgerald today. Many
people here are of the oplnon that
a fair crop can be raised from fruit
ing done in August and that is true
but cotton cannot do anything in the
midst of so many bell weevils." said
Mr.. Fitzgerald.
For number of years, Mr.. Fitzger>
aid has been in the cotton business
he has made a close study of the
plant he has frequently visited south
Texas when the boil weevil were oper-
ating there. He says that this is tho
first time this country has ever been
infested to such an extent. During
the growing period last year ne says
there were weevls here but they were
late and the top crop was not ruined
but this year the weevil has been pres
cnt all during the fruitinG period and
the wcevi would have to disappear
now if crop is raised this year. There
is little likelihood thinks Mr.. Fitzgerald
that the weevl will disappear and for
that reason he expects a very small
yield.
Mr.. Fitzgerald is not only a cotton
buyer and student Of the crop but
he is a grower and has 25O acres
planted to cotton this year and he does
not expect but a very small yield.
Mike German who is a cotton raiser
and who has given much study to the
crop confirms the opinion Of Mr. Fitz-
gerald. Mr.. German says the stalk
this year is very good, much better
than usual but the weevils are 50 plen-
tiful that the cotton cannot fruit
