THE STAR CAR
Will Be Shown in Augusta For The
First Time.

If anyone stated a year ago that
an automobile could be constructed
with the latest and most approved
standard units throughout, and sue
cessfully produced to sell at the re-
markably low price of $348.OO.
everyone would have declared it
impossible.
But at last this dream of years has
become an actuality this unpreced-
ented feat realized. The new Star
Car is in every way an attractive
and modernly designed motor car,
in every detail if its construction is
an exact counterpart of the larger,
far more expensive automobiles.
1T is the latest product of W. Z.
Durant, the man whose genius ana
vision created such names as Dur
ant, Cadillac and Buick. he has per-
formed one of the greatest ana
most for reaching achievements OF
the present age, and it is certain to
revolutionize low cost transporta-
ton throughout the world.
The Star Car must not for MON
ent be- compared with any other low
priced cars. 1t is distinctly in
class by itself, with all the improved
features of body design and chassis
construction, further the motor is
smooth, and quiet running.
Never in all the history of auto
motive manufacture was such inter-
est shown in the introduction Of a
new automobile as mas been given
the Star Car. It has been predicted
that the Star Car will become the
greatest success ever attained in the
small car field, for it is the greatest
value ever offered to the small car
purchaser. 81
The Henry Weathers Motors Co..
Inc. S15 819 Ellis street, Augusta
Ga. Have been selected as distribp-
tors for the Star Car in this terrific
ry. They state that a complete line
of the new Star Car models will be
shown in their display rooms during
Jubilee Week, October 25th., 26th.,
and 27th.

MR., VERCHOT TALKS

Manager y. a. 'NeTchot, VI lae
Opera House, has returned from a
visit to his old home in Alabama.
Mr.. Verchot found things prosperous
in the old home town. He says that
when he left Alabama six years ago
the boil weevil had just made its
appearance there as it has now done
here, and that the people were pan
ic stricken, believing they were con-
signed to poverty for the rest OF
their natural lives. Being interested
in what has since happened, and on
account of conditions here, Mr.. Yer
chot made it his business to inquire
into farming conditions there now.
He tells US that the people there to-
day are comparatively free from the
boil weevil menace. One large farm
er to whom he talked said that he
lad not had a boil weevil on. his
farm the present year so far as he
knew.
Manager Verchot says that this is
a very different condition from
what existed at the time he left Ala
bama. He recalls that he talked to
a farmer who had made thirty-fve
bales the year before, and who made
only three bales the year of his de-
parture from that state, the differ
ence being caused by the weevil.
Mr.. Verchot believes that the
damage done by the weevil in this
county, from now on, will yearly be
less and that in five years we will
have recovered in large measure
from the losses we are now expe-
riencing as result Of the appear
ance of the weevil here three years
ago.
That indeed has been somewhat
the history of the weevil's career in
other sections. The amount of dam
ages which he causes usually is
greater about the third year than
any other time. Nature begins then
TO-, fortify itself against its plague
SO to speak. The damages done by
ths,.iasect may be compared to the
results Of the appearance of "fu" in
our midst. At the height of its ma
lignity people died everywhere from
its ravages. The next year it was Of
q milder type and now the disease
Is not worse than a'bad cold, except
in cases here and there. The same is
true Of other diseases and pests in
the animal kingdom, and by analogy
we may expect the same history with
regard to the damage done by the
weevil.
This is not intended of course to
cause people to be off their guard,
nor to keep them from taking every
possible precaution to lessen the
damage done by the weevil. People
should be blowing up the cotton
stalks, burning off terraces and ditch
es, and preparing to do intensive far
ming next year and to poison the
weevil just as they have been advis-
ed. But we should take comfort to
ourselves in the thought that nature
is itself going to aid US in the
fight. But nature is not going to
help the man much who does not
try to help himself.
