About Second or Third

Atlanta, May 30.-The balance
of Confederate pensions for 1922 will
be paid by the second or third of
June, Governor Hardwick announc-
ed today.
This is the first time in many
years, he said he was informed when
the states finances permitted such
early payment of pensions in full.
This is due. he said, to paying
the states current deficit by dis
counting the Western & Atlantic
rentals, to holding down pensions
and other appropriations to mini
mum, and to the decision of the U.
S. Supreme court awarding the
State of Georgia about $685. 900 Of

in the hands Of a receiver for more
than two years.

Nationwide Careful
Crossing Campaign.

The Central of Georgia Railway
urges the cooperation of its patrons
in the nationwide Careful Cross
ing Campaign" which will be in
progress during June, July, August
and September by the Safety Section
OF the American Railway Associa-
ton. In statement printed in
today's paper President w. A.,
Winburn says that these four months
have in the past been the worst Of
the year for motor vehicle grade.
crossing accidents. The seriousness
of the problem is apparent from the
fact that there is now one motor
vehicle for every ten persons i'll the
United States.
In 1920 there were 3,Ol2 grade
crossing accidents in which ,273
persons were killed and 1877 injur-
ed. Not one of these accidents
would have occurred if the driver
had Stopped, Looked and Listen
ed. +" The railways are powerless
to prevent accidents that are due to
the negligence Of drivers, though
eyery other kind of accident shows
gratifying reductionsin recent years.
1t would require more than twelve
billions of dollars to eliminate the
grade. crossings in the United States,
and many years of time. Caution
at the crossings on the part OF
drivers will so far as safety is con-
oerned give the same result as the
expenditure of twelve billions.
In closing his statement Mr.
Winburn says by cooperation with
our patrons we have found many
ways in which we can render them
exceptional service, and, our
patrons, in turn, have served us
well.

Be Prepared To
Poison Boil Weevil
AT Right Time.

In time of peace, prepare for
war" is a proverb more or less in
disfayor in international negotiations
Just now, but it still applies to
fighting the cotton boil weevil, says
the United States Department Of
Agriculture. Late poisoning is like
" to hurt the farmer more than it
hurts the weevil, and the only way
to he sure Of getting an even
bleak" with the weevil is to be
supplied in advance with calcium
arsenate and busting machinery.
1--WE find every year." says B.
r. Coad, director of the Depart
ment,s boil weevil laboratory, that
many farmers fail to realize their
danger early enough and then start
making desperate efforts to poison
after ths infestation has become very
heavy. They scurry around trying
to get calcium arsenate and busting
machinery, and nearly always there
is considerable delay Even when
they get the poison and the machine
ry, it is extremely difficult to con-
troll weevil infestation after it comes
severe. There are so many weevll
stages present in the squares and
bolls that some of them come out
every day and poison must be kept
constantly on the plants it any good
is to he done by it. This very
greatly increases the expense OF
poisoning. Then, if there comes
even a short spell Of rainy weather,
such control as has been gained is
lost and the farmer has gone to
heavy expense for nothing. We
advise all cotton planters to be ex-
tremely careful about starting late
season poisoning. In few cases,
it has been successful, but at heavy
cost and only under the most favor
able conditions. The only safe
course is to be prepared to poison at
the right time" Write the Delta
Laboratory, Tallulah, Louisiana,

Poison"

Excellent Performance Of the Opera
With q strong Cast at the Academy

A splendid performance of verdi's
Don Carlos was given by the Metro
politan Opera Company at the Academy
of Music last evening before the usual
capacity house. The opera itself ranks
high among the uninteresting works
of the great composer. as Il has neither
the poignant melodies Of the best
operas of the early period. such as
'Trovatore" and "Rigoletto." nor is
there much in It which forecasts the
coming glories Of Aida" "Otello'
and "Falstaffo. Verdi was far too
much Of melodist, however. to COM
pose an entire opera without some
wonderful melodies, Of which undoubt..
is 20 don fatale," superbly sung last
evening BY Nine. Matzenauer. The
arias "Dio che nell alma and "Per me
giunto" are also among the best Of
the opera.
In pageantry and scenically the
opera gives some fine opportunities
which were made the most of by Mr..
Gatti's organization, the scene in front
Of the cathedral being beautifully
staged and allowing the chorus to do
some Of the best work It has done in
Philadelphia for a long time. But as
n whole the opera lacks the vocal and
dramatic climaxes which are usual in
the larger works Of Verdi.
Nothing but praise can be given for
the manner In which the opera was
performed. The cast included some Of
the best singers and actors Of the
Metropolitan roster and all were nd
mirably suited to the roles allotted to
them. Miss Ponselle sang and acted
we'll the role of the unfortunate E1iz-
abeth, and Mms. Matzenauer sang in
her usual superb manner and adequately
depicted the varied emotions demanded
in the part of Princess Eboli. Mr..
Didur made an excellent King Philip,
although the role does not make many
demands upon his great dramatic abil-
ty. The title role was admirably per-
formed by Mr.. Crimi. and Mr.. dc Luca
showed the Roderigo Is one Of his best
parts. He was in unusually fine voice
last evening and did splendidly one Of
the most dramatic scenes in the opera
that in the cell of Don Carlos at the
close Of the third act. The minor
roles were all well taken. Mr.. Papi
conducted.
