OFFICIALS INSPECT
FLA. SHORT ROUTE
FUNDS WILL BE RAISED TO
ADVERTISE THE HIGHWAY
THIS SUMMER.

MOULTRIE, Ga.-Oficials OF the
Florida Short Route, headed by Pres
ident Ben Russell, spent about three
hours in Moultrie yesterday. The par
ty is making an inspection trip of the
highway from Columbus to Tampa.
They said that the road from Column
bus to Moultrie was in fine condition
all the way and asserted that that
stretch from Sylvester to Moultrie was
the best sand clay road they had ever
seen. Another splendid link in the
highway is the sand clay road in Ter
rell county.
While in Moultrie the delegation had
lunch as guests OF the Moultrie Cham
Der of Commerce. President Russell
expressed the opinion that the travel
over the Florida Short Route would
be greater this spring than it was last
fall when hundreds OF tourists used ii
in their southwark trip to Florida.
A movement has been started TO
raise large fund in points along the
route TO be used in advertising the
highway this summer. Tourist camps
at convenient intervals between CO.
lunbus and Live Oak helped to great
ly popularize the Florida Short Route
last fall.

BOIL WEEvIL is
GAINING GROUND
REPORTS SHOW COTTON PEST
HAS MULTIPLIED RAPIDLY
DURING MILD WINTER.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-"The en-
tire area of cotton production in Geor-
gia is infested, and South Carolina is
also totally infested.
This is the opening statement OF a
story just made public here by the
United States department OF agricul-
ture relative to the ravages and de-
struction OF the cotton boil weevil in
certain sections OF the South.
Continuing this statement. says:
"The mild winter OF l920-2l, and the
wet summer of 1921 favored an alb
normal multiplication OF the boil wee
vii throughout the territory infested
by this insect. The weevil has now
reached the limit OF cotton cultivation,
except in western Texas, southwestern
Oklahoma, northeastern North Carroll
ma and Virginia. In determining the re-
mainder of the line the search was
for the last existence in these extreme
portions of the cotton belt.
For the first time the states OF
Missouri and Kentucky were invaded
bv the weevil and all fields in these
states were found to be infected. The
gain west of the Mississippi river Is
very nearly equal to that east OF the
river. However, the greatest gain in a
single state is 1890 square miles in
North Carolina.
"The gain in Texas was 1886
square miles, which practically ex-
tends the line to that OF 1915, the ter
ritory being lost to the weevil since
that time being regained.
"In Oklahoma almost the entire
cotton belt is infested, which is a
gain of 1886 square miles over 1920
Practically the same conditions prevail
in Arkansas and gain Of 1906
square miles is shown.
In Georgia the line enters Fannin
county west to Cad, continuing due
south through the western part OF the
county.
The line touches the South Caro-
lima border in the western corner OF
Oconee county and continues north
eastward along the state line, which is
the limit of cotton, to Polk county,
North Carolina.
In Florida the line passes Ozano in
Pinelas county and continues on
ward"
This is the tale OF crop destruction
which the boil weevil is leaving be-
hind, arsenic of lead and other pois-
onous remedies to the contrary not
withstanding.

PARTY "KEYNOTERS"
ARE GETTING BUSY
CAMPAIGN SLOGANS ENG
TRIED OUT BY POLITICAL
ORATORS. ARE PUZZLED.

Campaign "keynoting" is now well
under way in the national capital. with
Spokesman of both parties setting
forth the issues on which they expect
to make their bid for votes in the
,coming months. On the republican
side Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, the
&c. o. P. senate leader, and Senator
Medill Mccormick, the chairman OF
the senatorial committee, both broke
loose with eulogies of the party rec
ord giving a cue to republican orator
ical brethren as to what TO talk about.
Over on the democratic side of the
fence Cordell Hull, national chairman.
and Senator Pat Harrison, recognized
spokesman of the Cox faction, made
vitriolic smashes at the same record
the two G.. O. P. senator's had strewn
so many flowers over, thereby sug-
gesting to the democratic spellbinders
some choice ammunition TO use back
home.
Neither party is certain just yet on
what lines TO conduct their campaign.
They both are feeling their way to
see what catches on" And when
these actions begin TO be felt, then
more positive outlining of the con-
gressional campaign will be done i'll
the shape of more speeches.

PLAN FLOATING A
SALOON IN OCEAN
GREAT SHIP WILL BE LOCAT-
ED OUTSIDE THREE MILES
LIMIT FOR DRINKERS.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Plans for a
floating liquor palace off New York
beyond the three mile limit are going
forward, according to James " Mar
tin, the promoter, in spite OF the an
nouncementi of Roy A. Haynes, fed
eral prohibition commissioner, that the
vessel will not be permitted.
Furthermore, declares Martin, a sec
ond and possibly third liquor palace
will be constructed should the. first be
successful.
In answer to Commissioner Haynes
assertion that he will seek to thwart
the scheme, Martin says that there is
nothing in international law that for
bids a resort of this character.
Martin asserts that the vessel will
be as large as the Leviathian, that it
will be constructed in Europe and that
the investment will amount to $l0,
100000.

GUST MAIN STREET
MAN" IN AUGUSTINE
PRESIDENT GIVES HAND TO
HUNDREDS WHILE STROLL
ING CITY'S STREETS.

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.-Presideat
Harding has frequently referred to
himself as Just Main street man. .
Wednesday in this odd place, which is
mixture of American small town, the
big city, the European hamlet and all
with touch of Oriental architecture
and atmosphere, he entered into the
part he likes to play.
He took walk through the business
district late in the afternoon. Like the
leading citizen of the small town, he
greeted everyone. He stopped in al
store entrances, shaking hands with
the owners and employees impartially
Automobile parties parked along the
line of his walk were greeted in the
same manner.
Have a good time, you folks" he
told one party Of boys and girls. 81
was young myself once"
How are you?" I'm mighty glad
to see YOU" he said repeatedly. And
approaching a small newsboy he ask
ed, "How's the newspaper business
with you? You know ! have always
been a newspaper man myself, and
street sales interest me-"
Progress Heralded.
The presidents progress along the
street was heralded throughout the
business section. All business paused
as everyone in the stores came out
in front to greet him. Pedestrians pass
ing stopped suddenly
"Why that's the president" many
Iof them exclaimed, and then followed
a rush to get ahead of him and shake
his hand
A reception in honor of the execu-
tive family was held at the Ponce de
Leon hotel. Fifteen hundred invita-
tons were issued and the great crowd
of well-dressed people gathered early
in the court outside the hotel At 9
Ioclock the doors were thrown open
and in single file the men, women and
children went past President and Mrs.
Harding in the ball room OF the hotel.
This social event was the only one
which the president permitted on his
trip.
Heartily Applauded.
The presidents sojourn here has
been enthusiastically applauded by the
populace.
Mrs. Harding draws the interest OF
fully as many of the people as the
president In every city the newspa-
pers comment upon her democratic
manner and charm.

BIG BAKER DAM
is NEARLY READY
LEE HALLS PROPHESY OF rs
YEARS AGO ABOUT TO COME
TRUE. A GREAT PROJECT.

NEWTON, Ga.-Twenty-fve years
ago a young man named Lee Hall
stood with a party of friends on the
banks of the Etchway-Notchway
creek in Baker county and told the
boys that some day there would be
a big dam across the creek at that
point and it would furnish power for
all the surrounding country.
Lee Halls prophecy is about to
come true and dream of a quarter
'of a century is almost realized. The
big dam of the. Baker County Power
Company, of which Lee Hall is the
president, is nearing completion, and it
is thing of beauty as we'll as strength.
Competent engineers say it is one OF
the very best constructed dams in the
state.
There is a solid sheet of steel under
the bed OF the creek that goes down
into the earth forty-hve feet. This is
to forever prevent seepage, which is
so dangerous to heavy concrete dams
across streams that have sand foun-
dation.

Many New York City
rags Getting From
ST. $50 a Day

New York city is stirred over the
increasing number of public beg
gars. 1t was brought out at re-
cent aldermanic meeting that any
number of beggars were averaging
from 500 to $50 day. The most
select begging field is in the theatre
cal district, where heart throb pro-
auctions are playing The audiences
are torn with emotion as they leave,
and never fail to give aims.
The next best field is the subway
exits, where stenographers go trip
ping forth to work. Beggars, it is
said, play upon the feminine super
stition that it is bad luck to begin
day by refusing aims. Many beg
gars become to opulent that they
spend their week-ends at Atlantic
City.

Lieutenant Bevilaqua Says He Caught
View of Repdlian Beast in 1906,
Which Is Not Snake or Turtle.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa.-The pie
siosaurian monster seen in Patagonia
according to reports from the Buenos
Aires geological gardens, is not a
myth, snake or a turtle, in the belief
of Lieutenant Commander O. Bevila-
qua, now at the Philadelphia navy
yard. The naval officer said today that
he had seen a monstrous animal OH
the coast of Patagonia 10 years ago
that resembled the description OF thai
reported seen recently by an English
man named Sheffield in the same 10
cality.
Lieutenant Bevilaqua, who is COM
mander of the U. S. s. Kaweah. SAID
that during 1906, while in the Straits
OF Magellan, about 500 yards off the
coast OF Patagonia, he saw the mon
ster one day. "The visibility was high

Pinkerton detective, lost the second
battle to save his life late this alter
noon, when Judge Henry A. Mathews
denied him a new trial.
Appeal to the state supreme court

shot Walker to death as he escaped
with valuable diamond from Nat {.
Kaiser's store in Atlanta, will not be
sentenced again until decision has
been rendered by the high court.
Since hearing arguments for the
new trial Judge Mathews has received

mercy on the youthful slayer, it be
came known today.
No Occasion for Sympathy.
these women" said Judge Ma

realize that cases of law can not be
decided on a sympathetic or senti-
mental basis"
DuPre heard the news with calm
ness but evident disappointment.
Things certainly are looking dark, "
he said. Judge Mathews decision
was blow to me, all right. But

THE LAST DAYS
OF CAR NICHOLAS
HOW MONARCH WAS SLAIN IS
NOW TOLD BY BOLSHEV1ST
WRITER. BODIES BURNED.

A bolshevist account of the eXecu-
ton of Emperor Nicholas and his fam
ilv. which took place at Ekaterinburg
Russia, on the night OF july 10, I9l@,
has been made public in a pamphlet
written by P. Bykoff, former chair
man OF the Ekaterinburg soviet. 1t
attempts to justify the execution BY
explaining that plots were being form
ed to deliver the imperial family to
the monarchists.
The empress and her four daughters,
the little czarevitch, and the remaining
members of the household OF ii were
so stunned that they said nothing
when Avdieff, the commandant OF the
house, ordered them to line up against
the basement wall and pronounced
sentence. Bykoff says that hrlng
squad of four shot the imperial family
with revolvers. The identity OF the
members of the execution squad is not
revealed.
Ural Soviet Responsible.
The pamphlet places the response
bilitv for the execution of the Roman
offs directly upon the Ural district So
Wet which decided early in July, 1918,
that the car and his family must die
and entrusted the execution OF the
sentence and the destroying OF the
bodies to Peter Ermakotf, an ola
workman. =,
The Romanoffs were in their ordl-
nary clothing when shot. Bykott 5
story says the guards outside the
house and the public were kept IN ig-
norance of the shooting by a NOISY,
automobile outside, which drowned
the pistol reports. At l O'Clock the
next morning the bodies were secret
" removed to a nearby wood. There
the clothing was removed. The bodies
were burned first and then the. cloth
ing. Bykoff says the jewels and trag-
ments OF jewelry which Admiral kol-
chak's officers later claimed to have
found in the ashes were probably con,
cealed in the clothing and overlooked
by the men, who thought they had Sc
cured all the jewels from the bodies
of the victims.l
