CLAIM POWER LINES
BEING TANPERED WITH
Constant Interruptions in Service
Believed Due to Malicious
Causes

That the power lines between
Americus and Albany are being
tampered with is the opinion held
by officials of the South Georgia
Public Utilities company here. Who
is doing the tampering with the
lines, or why this is being done
remain a mystery that the power
company officials are now trying
to solve. The first step in this
direction was taken when a reward
of $25 was offered for the arrest
and conviction of any person guilty
of interfering in any way with the
transmission lines.
There have recently been a num-
Der of mysterious interruptions in
power service between Americus
and Albany that officials Of the
company have been unable to ex-
plain. These come on most unex-
pectedly and go off in the same
manner, without any explanation
being found later. This condition
is the basis for the belief of COM
pany officials that the lines are
being tampered with, and in addi-
tion to offering reward for the
arrest Of the miscreants, Supt, R.
2. Ewing today appeals to every
PRESIDENT along the line to assist the
authorities in ferreting out the mys-
terry.
ANY substance capable of
transmitting electricity that is eth
er placed or thrown across the lines
would result in an interruption OF
the service" said Supt. Ewing to-
day, "and in addition would cause
an unusual electrical display. A
stick Of green wood, for instance,
might cause service to be interrupt
ed during a considerable time be-
fore it would be burned in TWO and
when this occurred there would be
nothing to evidence what caused The
interruption. 1t is highly danger
Gus, though to tamper with the
high-power lines that bring power
into Aemricus and sooner or later
any one who does this will be
killed.
I'VE have been using unusual
precautions to prevent service in
terruptions lately, and these have
| taken the form now of regular pa
/ troll and inspection Of the lines.
| Every insulation on the entire line
has been9inspected twice since me
/ hydro-electric service was inaug
Iurated here, and it is impossible for
these to be causing the trouble"

BEES WILL NOT EAT
POISONED COTTON

QUITMAN, Aug 25.-The bee
industry in this section is in no
danger of extinction from the use
Of boil weevil poisons, declares R.
S, Provost, be specialist, from Glenn
son College, who has recently in
spected local apiaries. With the
proper care Of bees and with the
planting of honey bearing plants,
bees will do as well as before the
advent of the boil weeyil but it will
take proper care, he warns.
Bee keepers had reported the
death Of many swarms Of bees from
calcium arsenate poisons eaten BY
the bees.
Bees will not eat the poisoned
molasses mixture unless other feed
is very scarce, Mr.. Provost says.
The increased growing of clovers
peas and other Towering plants IS
greatly helping the bee industry,
