A Warning

We should be very careful in
eating wild blackberries, picked
in or near the cotton fields Of
Sumter county. Nearly every
farmer is using calcium arsenate
and it is a poison. Enough cal
cium may be placed on a cotton
plant to kill weevils still be in
visible to the eye. Blackberries
may be covered with calcium
arsenate and still the poison
maynot be visible.
AS the spraying machines go
through the fields, much of the
dust is blown through the air,
much of it at some distance
when the wind is high.
Little negroes are now pick
ing berries on the roadsides and
selling them. Children in the
country and others riding out
INTO the county will pick and eat
berries wherever they are seen.
leil the children not to pick Der
ries near a cotton field and don t
buy berries unless you know
they are free from calcium arse
nate.

THE CORNER COP

You've all heard that whistle that
scares va to death; you've all
brought your car to a stop. You've
all surely trembled while holding
your breath. What for? Why, the
old corner cop!
Consider this fellow who rules, in
the street, the traffic that passes all
day. He tells you to "stop" or he
tells you to Ego" as he passes the
drear hours away.
Perhaps you have broken a law Of
the street. The cop is the reascr
you're caught. A judge, in the morn
ing, you're likely to greet, and yol
pay for the lesson that's taught.
You walk out of court and you're
cussing the cop till it ruins your
blamed Indigestion. But, listen, Ole
man, you will find, if you stop
there's another real side of the
question.
The fellow who's guarding the
corners all day is living in danger
and strife. Consider the fact thai
he's working all day and his worl
is protecting your life.

HE TOOK "A CHANCE >

Five persons are dead and a
fifth is seriously injured as the
result of a grade crossing accident
near Zebulon, Ca, yesterday. Il
was the same old story: the driv-
err of the car took a chance. He
drove onto the tracks without
taking the trouble to see whether
a train was approaching, and
when the roaring locomotive bore
down on the ear it was too late to
avoid the crash. In several South
ern states it is unlawful to pass
over a grade crossing in an auto
mpbile aor horse4drawni vehicle
without first coming to full stop
The chances are that a serious
attempt will be made at this year S
session of the Georgia Legislature
to enact a similar law for this

lbs miles. That's all the Cen
tury can get out of a locomo-
tive. After being speeded to
the limit for l35 miles the en-
gine is exhausted and the train
has to stop while a fresh engine
is hooked on. The worn-out
locomotive is left behind for
repairs.
This is a very clear-cut pic

Our generation is almost in

that's not the desire. But it's
the net result of the system.

the return to which the Company Is
legally entitled.
Several schedules showing expenses
and revenue were offered by Attorney
, Shelton to bear out his contention
on the matter of rates. He said that
the rate per cent. return on the whole
system in 1928, based on a plant value
of s769, APO, was just under 35-100 of
one per cent, and that the actual
gross operating income fell $3.50
short of being enough to pay the in
terest on the underlying bonds of the
old Orono plant and that interest is
Il per cent.
Discussing the advantages Of con-
solidation, Mr.. Shelton asserted that
there must be new liberation plant
for Old Town If Penobscot water is
to be used and that municipalities
farther down must continue to use
Chemo water, or take ii from the
Penobscot-which latter nobody sug-
gested. II chlorinated Chemo water
can be used without alteration. the
expense of constructing and operating
a new station for Old Town can be
avoided: IL Chemo weter must be fl
trated 1t will cost little more to con-
struct and operate a plant sufficient
for the entire Penobscot division than
for the lower half, and the cost of a
duplicate plant at Old Town will be
avoided.
He quoted testimony to the effect
that If purified, Chemo water would
be OF high quality, practically free
from color. odor and taste and abso-
lutely safe from q sanitary stand
point.
At the conclusion Of the hearing
the Public Utilities Commission took
the cases under advisement.
