Antique Addresses
to Augusta ?. O.

Antique addresses are common
enough at the Augusta Post Office,
that is. communications are being re-
ceived from time to time, addressed
to persons and concerns long since
passed away or gone out of existence
as the case may be. For instance
only this week. Postmaster F. w.
Plaisted had his attention called to
an envelope addressed to the Peoples
Literary Companion, a paper which
was printed in this city a good many
years ago, perhaps in 1859 or 1870.
being first published by the late e.
c. Allen, who passed away In 1891.
1t will be recalled that Mr.. Allen built
the first Allen block in 1872 when he
was 81 years Of age and the second
Allen block in 1880. OF course, that
is all local history, but all this is re-
called by the letter which was receiv-
ed at the local post Office this We ok
addressed to this old time paper.
Only short time ago letter was
received here addressed to Izaak Wal
ton, asking for a copy of the authors
book on fishing. The request came
from someone who had at one time
had occasion to think Of Izaak Walton
and this city in the same connection.
Walton travelled all through the State
at one time and his trip to Mt. Katah-
din is famous. But that was 40 or so
years ago.
A schoolmaster in a middle western
town wrote to this city a while back
and asked where he could purchase
a copy Of the book, Daughters Of
America. which was published by the
E. C. Allen company all of IS years
ago. Evidently he had read the book
when he was a boy and he had KEEP:
it all these years. or had remembered
the name of the publishers.

Cotton Up Against
 Double Pest as Red Spiders Now Appear

Auburn, July 7,-(Special. )-Along with boil weevils red spiders have now appeared on cotton in different sections of Alabama according to re ports reaching Dr. W. E. Hinds, en- tomologist for extension service, who says that they are liable to do con- siredable damage unless proper con trol methods are put into practice.
 Those having a spray pump and desiring to use a liquid spray for the control of this pest will find commercial lime sulphur an effective control. It should be mixed witl, water at the rate of one gallon of lime sulphur to 30 gallons of water. Perhaps a more satisfactory method is to dust the cotton with flowers of sulphur or sulphur flour, which should be applied by dusting guns so as to force the sulphur on all parts of the cotton by producing a fog which will not be accomplished by the use of sacks and other hand methods.
 Red spiders are unlike many other insectS in that they multiply more rapidly and do more damage in hot, dry weather. They do not, however, spread very rapidly until the cotton plants begin touching each other. They usually appear in small places and in spraying for them it is ad- visable to begin on the outside Of the infested area and work inward to- ward the center of it.
