REV. GATLIN breaches
LAST SERMON FOR YEAR

Rev. L. C. Gatlin completed
his second year on the INashins-
ton-Ozan charge Sunday pight
when he preached a strong SER
mon to a large congregation at
the Methodist church.
No one has an inkling of the
rhme or likeness of the minister
who will occupy the Methodist
pulpit for the coming year un-
til the appointments are read
out at the Annual Conference
at TeXarkana December 4th.
Rev. Gatlin, however, has done
excellent work here the past
two years and is well liked by
his membership and the people
generally. 1t is to be hoped
the conference will reassign
him to this charge.

WELL KNOWN
PHYSICIAN DIES
DIR. John c. Wilson, Son of Mr.,
J. S. Wilson of Columbus,
Victim of Meningitis.


sDrt Je IN C. Wilson, aged "a,
died il Dallas, Texas, last Sat
urday night after few hours
affiction of spinal meningitis
His mother, Mrs. ]. S. Wilson,
of Columbus, received news OF
the precarious condition Of her
son during the day Saturday.
She left Immediately for his
bedside, but delayed by train
schedules she reached him sew
eral hours after death had TAX
en- place. He was employed as
house physician in a large ho-
tel.
Up to the time of American
German hostilities DR.. Wilson
lived at Columbus. He enlisted
in the army and entered hospit-
al work. After his discharge
he was graduated in medicine,
going to Orange Texas, where
he engaged in practice, later To-
eating in Dallas, accepting the
house physicians place.
He was a young man of sterl-
ing character and made friends
easily wherever he lived. His
untimely death has caused a
pail of sorrow to darken and
sadden his friends and rela-
tives.
The remains were brought to
Columbus Monday and in the
Presbyterian church, to which
he belonged, a large, grief
stricken congregation gathered
to pay their respects to a form
er friend and associate. DR.. R.
A. Anderson of Hope conducted
an impressive ceremony paying
an eloquent tribute to the dead.
Following the church service
the body was removed to the

FIVE-INCH CASING
SET IN CEMENT
At Mason WeH-PIug VIII
PROBABLY BE Drilled Within
Fifteen Days.

The stage is set at the Mason
No. l we'll, two and one-halt
miles northwest of Washington,
and a test of the Trinity sand
row only awaits setting up of
the cement. Driller Hacka-
thorHe told Telegraph report
er yesterday the plug would
possibly be drilled within the
next fifteen days.
Driller S. E. Turner, the ce-
ment specialist, arrived Mon
day with his force-pump and
the job of cementing the casing
was completed at 1890 Monday
night. Driller Turner said he
we'll was in better shape than
any he had ever worked on and
it is thought he did an excellent
job of cementing. When the
pump was connected up and the
pressure applied, water in the
5-inch casing was forced out at
the bottom of the casing and
soon began to overflow out
at the top between the 5-inch
and 6-inch castings. The cement
plug was left two feet thick at
said to have been forced up $50
feet, on the outside of casing.
Oil and gas was in evidence
when pressure was applied, al
though the hole was only reop-
eneG to within eight or ten feet
of the original depth when oil
showed up. Driller Turner was
impressed sufficiently with the
showing to want to get in on the
Washington telegraph., 1922-11-24

ground floor and announced
that he is in the market for
some acreage.
The cementing was accom-
plished without removal of the
water from the we'll and this
will be allowed to remain until
the cement hardens.
An increased number of op-
timists are to be found since an
early test is now assured and
there is renewed activity IN
least and royalty trading.
Some are yet to be found who
say they are sure the we'll will
not pay off," while there are
many others equally as sure
that it will: One of the latter
class, who recently returned
from the Smackover field, told
the Telegraph man that he was
just as sure that the Mason we'll
will produce oil as he is that
there is a producer in the
Smackover field.
Whether the Mason we'll
proves to be a large or small
producer, its coming in would
create a stampede, as it has al
ready been determined by ac-
curate test that the grade is a
head of any yet produced in the
fields of the South.

THOMASSON is
BOUND OVER
SLAYER of Boob" Hamilton At
Columbus Held For Grand
Jury Action.

The preliminary trial Of Mr..
w. H. Thomasson, who is charg-
ed with the shooting and killing
of Mr.. C. C. Boob" Hamilton
at Columbus Nov. 8, was had
in Justice Jno. Hipp's court at
Hope Wednesday. The eviIence
adduced was thought sufficient
to bind Thomasson over to a.
wait action of the grand jury
next April. A bord of $4,000
was fixed by the court and it
was promptly furnished by the
defendant.
There were five witnesses in
troduced at the examining trial,
all of whom testified alike eX
cept in minor details.
The facts as brought out at
the trial seem to be as follows:
Thomassom and Hamilton met
in the public road, one driving a
truck, the other a wagon.
Thomasson asked Hamilton for
a rent settlement on land that
was rented from him and work
ed by Hamilton's sons. 1t is
said that Hamilton got out
of his wagor and advanced to-
ward Thomasson. The latter is
saiG' to have warned him to stop
but he continued to advance and
the two men grappled. Thom-
asson drew a gun and it is said
three shots were fired during
the clinch, one shot going wild,
another entering Hamilton's
left arm and the third in the
groin. Breaking loose, Hamil-
ton drew away something like
twenty or thirty feet, accord
ing to the testimony, and Thorn
asson again fired as Hamilton
appeared to stoop as if to pick
up a rock. This shot penetrated
the stomach and is said to have
been the shot that produced
death.
There were a number of eye
witnesses to the tragedy but
none of them could reach the
combatants in time to prevent
the encounter.

BOIL WEEVIL
DETERMINATION
Successful Method of Poison
ing GiUen out By Georgia
Department.

The following article is clip
PED from the Atlanta, Ga, Con-
stitution and is heralded as the
only sure remedy for the thor
ough determination of the boil
weevil which is costing the
farmers of the south millions
of dollars every year.
Farmers should preserve this
article and apply it at the right
time.
Preservation of the cotton
crop by busting" the bolls and
stalks with calcium arsenate in
order to exterminate the boil
weevil, is the only sure method
of eliminating the pestilence,
according to Ira w. Williams,
general field agent of the state
board of entomology in an in
terview Saturday.
By observing this precaution
and applying the calcium arse
rate on the cotton plants
during the months of July and
August, whenl the migrating pc
riod of the weevil is at it's height
Mr.. Williams asserted, a hun
dred per cent of a cotton crop
can be raised in spite of the
weevil.
"The people of Georgia." de-
clared Mr.. Williams, "are thor
oughly convinced that a hum
dred per cent of a cotton crop
car be made in spite of the boil
WeeVll up TO tne migrating Pc
riod of the weevil, which takes
place the last of July in some
sections and during the month
of August. We hope to work
out a method of control after
migration sets in. The best pos
sible control would be for ev-
cry mani to dust with calcium
arsenate as directed by the
Georgia state board of entomol-
ogy. Then the weevils would
not be numerous enough in any
mans field for migration to be
injurious, should any take
place.
"The man who busted his cot
tons carefully and thoroughly
would not be damaged by his
neighbor's plantation, who did
not dust. Remember, however,
that this damage does not take
place uttil late in the season,
and then it is a damage largely
to the bolls on the top of the
plant. 1t would also pc a great
benefit the following year if ev-
cry acre in cotton was busted.
There would be so few weevils
to go into Information that ear
ly the next year there would
be very few weevils to attack
the cotton plant.
"Outside of every man dust
ing, the rext most advantageous
thing to do is for the farmer to
have a cotton seed, the bolls of
which have a tough rind that
cannot be easily punctured by
the weevil. We have done some
work with sea island along this
lire, and there has been some
improvement on other varieties
by different farmers. The next
most important thing is that
the farmer have as early ma
turing cottor as possible so that
he can get his cotton matured
before the migration period.
Then plant as early as possi-
BILE and cultivate rapidly.
ain the wilt-infested areas of
the state farmer should grow
wilt resistant cotton, as he can
not hope to produce a maximum
crop without a good stand of

evening after a three days program,
and was one OF the most successful

fashioned costumes with great sue
cess and brought enthusiastic ap-
plause from the audience.
The playlet, THE Bravest Thing

Interesting and the Miniature Pa
Reant by the Brownies and jolly
chums was a pretty display Of color
and action. The entertainment
closed with the Rainbow Drill, given
by a number OF young ladies Of the
Little Women's Club. This was one
Of the prettiest events OF the evening,
