ACCUSEDG O. P BOSS OF GEORGIA TO GIVE UI
CRISP MAKES
FORMAL ENTRY
FORRE-ELECTION
Says He VIII Return To District
When He Can Leave---No
Opposition Expected

Congressman Chas R. Crisp, of
Americus, representing the Third
Georgia district in congress, is out
today with his formal announcement
for reelection to the house, subject
to the coming primary of September
IS. Judge Crisp submits to the vot-
ers no platform other than his record
during the years he has been in con-
gress, and points to it as an index
as to what may be expected of him
in the future. He says that he will
return to the district as soon as con-
gress adjourns, or earlier if the busi-
ness of the house will permit, to give
an account of his stewardship.
Judge Crisp occupies prominent
and highly respected position in con-
gress. He is member of the power
ful house ways and means commit
tee, which place he has held for sew
eral years, being the only Georgia
member on it. He is considered one
of the real "heavy-weights" of the
lower house, always being listened
to attentively by the majority MEM
bers as well as. his own party col
leagues whenever he rises to discuss
any question.
SO far there has been no report of
any probable opposition to Judge
Crisp for reelection, and his many
friends feel that there will be none.
His announcement follows:
"To the Voters of the Third Con-
gressional District:
81 hereby announce my candidacy
to succeed myself as Congressman
from the Third District of Georgia in
the 68th Congress, subject to the
Democratic primary of September 13,
1922.
'Since | have been your represent
ative, have been faithful to the du-
ties of the. office and have served you
to the very best of my ability. Ac-
tions speak louder than words, and,
as you are familiar with my course
in Congress, / shall not announce
any platform of principles, for my
past record is the best guide as to
what my future course will be.
"As soon as Congress adjourns, or
before, if the business of the House
permits, | shall return to the district,
meet the people face to face, give an
account of my stewardship, and dis
cuss current public issues with them.
''If my course has met your ap-
proval, / earnestly and sincerely So
licit your influence and vote in the
coming primary. /, will ever be
grateful to those friends who give me
their support, and, if reelected,
promise to continue faithful to the
trust reposed in me. Very sincerely,
"CHAS. r. CRISP"

r. Standing Announced

For the benefit Of students who
wish, by extra work and hard study,
to advance a year; that those by va
rious causes have failed to pass IN
one or more subjects during the year
might have opportunity to make up
this work and also that new students
who are expecting to enter ,tere OF
elsewhere and are lacking in part OF
their studies and by taking a course
might enter a class higher, the Third
District A. & NJ. school is offering
course which will indeed be helpful.
This is a feature of the work CIV
en- by the school which will be regu-
lar hereafter. Announcement to this
effect is being printed in ths cata-
log this year.

this work and cannot conveniently do
so during the day, the school is try
ing to arrange that a part of this
work may be given at night. Boys
who do not wish to lose their earn
ings by having to give up their daily
jobs will thus have splendid oppor-
tunity.

will be composed of a part of the
regular faculty, who are giving their
whole lives to this kind Of work, and
probably some one or two from out
side the school.

EGG WARNING
STIRS PLAINS
Beware June 24,' Saws Mysteri-
GUS Message On Egg Found
Sunday

All Plains was in the throes of
intense excitement all Sunday after
noon, and much of Americus today,
over an egg bearing a mysterious
message of warning whrich was
found about noon Sunday in the hen
house of S. H. Zimmerman, postmas-
ter of Plains, and declared by him to
have been freshly laid by one of mis-
hens. young dominick, which he
saw fly off the nest just before he
found the egg. The egg was warm
and moist, he said, showing it had
just been laid.
The egg was of ordinary size and
shape, of white color, but on it in
though printed upon the shell were
the words, Beware June 24v and
under the word June" was a ditto
mark followed by figure a, the date
the egg was found. The characters
were in a reddish brown about the
color of Rhode Island Red hens
egg, very distinctive on the clear
white of the shell. They were neither
raised nor indented. DR.. Thad Wise,
of Plains, applied an acid to try to
dissolve the color, but was unable to
affect it. After being shown all
about Plains Sunday, it was brought
to Americus and was on display to-
day at the Windsor Pharmacy, OF
which Brownie Zimmerman, a
brother of S. H. Zimmerman, is one
of the proprietors.
A number of eggs bearing mysteri-
Gus messages have been found IN
Georgia nests in recent weeks, fol-
lowing the publication of the secrets
of method of marking them by the
use of wax and acid. 1t is suggested
by some that Mr.. Zimmerman in this
case may have been the victim of
hoax, the egg having been put into
the nest by practical joker, and
having become warm, as he found IT,
from the hen having covered 1t while
sitting on the nest for time. How
ever, he says it is too much for nm
to explain. And the public Is wag-
ging its head in wonder.

BIG INCREASE IN
PEACH CURCULIOS
Insect Laboratory Warns Grow
ers Of Trouble Unless Spray
Is Used

The following bulletin, telling oil
increased infestation of curculios IN
peaches, has just been issued by the
Fort Valley government and state
laboratory.
There has been a rapid increase
in the number of adult curculios in
peach orchards of Central Georgia
during the past few days, due to
the emergence Of new generation
of adults from the soil. The con-
tinued rains during the past week
have greatly facilitated the develop
ment of the insects and have produc-
ed a condition of the soil favorable
for their emergence. Without doubt
the emergence of new beetles is much
heavier in orchards where the drops
we're not frequently picked up a.
destroyed.
"The Saturday morning (June -
jarring in the experimental orchard
gave 522 beetles on one hundred and
seven trees. The jarring on May 80
on the same trees gave 1879 beetles /;
May 25 IA; May % 30; May 20 32;
May 18 20. These figures show the
sharp increase during the past weer
on account of the emergence of the
new beetles.
Growers are warned that these
lew beetles are going to give trou
bic in the late varieties of peaches
unelss a timely application of spray
is made. Egg deposition in Hlleys
by new beetles will start this week,
and an application of arsenate of lead
and self-boiled lime-sulphur or 80
5-l5 dust should be made to Hileys
Immediately. George Bellies will not
need this application until June IL
and Elbertas not before June Is.
20, as very few eggs will be de-
: posted in those two varieties until
the time given above.
Fortunately cool weather accom-
panied the rainy season of last week,
and no serious trouble from brown
rot is anticipated unless the curculio
is not satisfactorily controlled. The
inability to disc for curculio pupas
destruction during the past week, and
the possibility of adult mortality in
dry soils after emergence having
been reduced, will probably be re-
sponsible for a larger number of new
quently than was expected. Conse-
qeutnly to prevent heavier infesta-
ton of second generation worms
IN the late peaches growers must
make the important last application
OF spray at the exact time given
above for the three late varieties,
and disc every acre twice a week if
possible until Elbertas are har-
vested"

WAR COisTRACT
FRAUD CHARGED.

WASHINGTON, June = A war
rant has been issued by United States
Commissioner Hit for the arrest of
j. l.. Phillips, chairman of the Re-
publican National State Committee
for Georgia, charging fraud in the
execution of war contracts. Beyond
confirming reports that the warrant
had been issued, Commissioner Hit
refused to discuss the case.
Phillips, as member of the finn
of Phillips and Stevens, obtained
surplus lumber, the firm having been
designated by conference of lum-
ber dealers to act as their agents.
Representative Woodruff, Repub-
lican, Michigan, in a speech recently
in the house asserted that official
reports had been filed by government
auditors in September, 1921, showing
that Phillips and Stevens still owed
the government under this contract
more,than s $50, 900 and that so far
as he could learn mo proceedings
whatever had been instituted in this
connection"
Although it has been generally re-
ported during the past week that the
special grand jury now sitting here
on war fraud cases had been engaged
in consideration of evidence relating
to sale of surplus lumber, but there
has been no statement from any
fieial source to Indicate whether the
Phillips and Stevens contract had
been among those presented,
So far as could be learned, the
grand jury has yet to hand down it's
first indictment an dissuance of 4
warrant prior to indictment was de-.
cleared by some officials to ba un-
usual though not unprecedented.
The lumber contract obtained by
Phillips and Stevens called disposal
of cpruce, pine, hemlock and fir
lumber only, according to the report
cited by Representative Woodruff.
He asserted that the firm had OBJ
tanned and sold surplus supplies of
more than SO varieties, including
such valuable hard woods.
Mr.. Phillips resides in Thomasville.
Ga, in which section he is reported
to wn extensive tracts of timber. He
also has home and business IN
Philadelphia.
