ATLANTA WOMAN VICTIM
OF THE SLEEPING SICKNESS
Illness Is Aftermath of Influenza. Spe-

ATLANTA, Ga-Mrs. Sam D.
Hewlett, wife of prominent and pop
ular Atlanta attorney, is the first to
fall victim to the sleeping illness as
an aftermath of the influenza epidem-
ic, which has prevailed throughout the
state for the past several weeks.
Her condition is reported by her
physicians as being critical; Several
OF the leading specialists of the city
have been called in without beneficial
results. She is reported as being in
slumber, which day by day grows
deeper. She can only be kept awake,
when aroused by heroic measures, 4
some one converses with her or II
there is an unusual noise in the room.
The sleeping malady has followed
in the wake of influenza throughout
the country. Although it is not COM
mon aftermath OF this disease it IS
sufficiently frequent in occurrence to
have attracted the attention OF the
medical profession. 1t is described as
similar in symptoms and effect to the
well-known Sleeping sickness caused
by the bite of an insect in the African
kiungles.

INSANITY SEEMS TO
BE ON THE DECREASE
Fewer Admissions to State Sanitarium
And Gain in Number Discharged.

Remarkable figures, showing a de-
crease of admissions to the state san
itarium for the insane and an increase
Of discharges in the past three years
is shown in the annual report from
John T. Brantley, of Backshear,
chairman of the board of trustees OF
the sanitarium.
The figures are as follows:
Admissions-In 1920, 1908; in 1921,
$50; in 1922, 857.
Discharges-In 1920, AS; in 1927,
319; in 1922, 619.
Deaths-In 1920, 464; in 1921, 421;
in 1922, 283.
These figures would seem to indi-
cate that insanity is on the decline in
Georgia and that the percentage OF
cures at the sanitarium is growing.
1t is also gratifying to note, Chair
man Brantley points out, that the
deaths last year were materially re-
duced.

PROTESTS AGAINST DISPOSE
TON TO MODEL GEORGIA
AFTER OTHER STATES.

ATLANTA, Ga.-While most Of
the speakers at the recent Gambler din
ner in Atlanta talked about Atlanta

or John NJ. Slaton-paid his tribute to
Georgia. 1t was during Governor Sla-
tons administration that Asa G. Cand-
Ter bought the Georgia bonds, beating
the New York fnanciers fraction OF
ia per cent.
Former Governor Slaton protested
against the growing disposition to
model Georgia civilization, her ccnsti-
tuition and institutions after those OF
other states. He attacked the habit OF
inviting distant educators to model the
thoughts of Georgia children after
those of remote peoples, and he said
way and inspired by a feeling that his
people should be self-reliant bought
Georgia bonds, established Georgia
college and built Georgia hospital.
Amidst cheers, the former governor
ended his speech by saying:
What people are noble that do not
exalt their own? What Georgian is
worth while who does not believe the
best in the world can be found within
her confines? She may err sometimes,
but who has not? But the pole-star
and the compass and lofty aspiration
are there, and when the clouds have
shifted she will progress along the
path OF honor and safety. Mr.. Cand-
Ter has not moved the ancient land
marks. His wealth of pocket, brain
and heart have been Georgian. His
faith and ideals have been those of his
own people"

GEORGIAN HAS NEW
WEEvIL DESTROYER
1T MAY REvOLUTIONIZE COT
TON GROWING CONDITIONS
IN SOUTH. WHAT 1T is.

A boil weevil destroyer, which
promises to revolutionize cotton grow
ing conditions in the south, has been
perfected by Prof. William S. Cox,
president of Cox college, who also
operates q large cotton plantation IN
Bu11och county, Alabama.
Prof. Cox, who is a graduate OF
Auburn and Cornell universities and
widely known chemist, has been
conducting experiments for several
years in an effort to perfect a .practi-
cal and effective poison for combating
the boil weevil.
That his process is a success is
proved, he states, by the fact that he
has used it on his own 1900 acre
plantation for the last two years, and
has been able to grow cotton under
the same normal conditions that ex-
listed before this section OF the coun-
try became infested with the weevil.
In addition to this demonstration
his statement is given added weight
by number of letters from other
farmers who have tried it successfully
and who give the method their enthu-
siastic endorsement.
The Cox boil weevil destroyer IS a
soluble poison, applied in liquid form
by means of a spray. The spraying in
ocufates the plant with poison and
forms a gas two and one half times
heavier than air. This gas cloud en-
shrouds the cotton field and instantly
kills the weevil breathing it.
The poison, according to the testi-
mony of reliable farmers, is not only
deadly to the grown weevil, killed by
the gas fumes, but the liquid poison
absorbed by the plant saturates every
fiber and part of the plant structure
and kills all of the larvae In this way
the plant is thoroughly freed from all
weevil contamination, although the
plant itself is not injured in any way
by the poison.
In order for a product OF this kind
to be manufactured in the state OF
Georgia it must first have the approx
al of the state department of agricul-
ture The Cox boil weevi destroyer
has received the endorsement OF the
state board, and will be manufactured
in large quantity in Atlanta. Besides
the state agricultural department this
new method for fighting the boil wee
vii has been endorsed by large num-
Der of cotton growers throughout the
state.
