Peach Growers Are
Warned That Freezes
Didn't Kill Curculios

FORT VALLEY, Ga, April 19-
1t is the general consensus of opin-
ion among peach growers that the
unusually low temperatures during
the last winter have killed a high
percentage of the adult peach curcu-
los in hiberna ton. Some have form
ed the opinion that the cold weather
had practically eradicated the pest
These are, indeed, very erroneous
opinions. and broadcasting them
throughout the peach belt is serious
ly endangering the 1924 crop, accord
ing to the government laboratory
here.
Judging from jarring records. the
CurCuGO is more numerous in peach
orchards at present than they We're
a year ago, Irrespective Of the abnor-
NAL weather conditions during the
last winter. Earring yielded rs cur
culiOs from 107 trees. On the same
date last year these same trees gave
only - beetles. The largest num-
her collected from these trees on
any morning last wear was only 1@&
A grower caught 700 beetles on 40
trees by Earring q few mornings
ago. These figures clearly show that
the weather conditions during the
winter have not killed out the cur
culio
There has been a tendency for
growers TO let up with the spray
ing program. Some have omitted
the first application. A word of
warning is sounded. All late varie-
ties OF peaches are ready for the
second application.

Grief Stricken, He WanderS
Beside the Waters That
Snatched His Loved Ones
From His Home

DODGE CITY, Kan, April ia
lonely, nameless sculptor wanders
up and down the banks Of midwest
eru rivers carving in wet sand
figures Of a mother and her babe.
A melancholy task is his. But it
brings him the only comfort his
great grief will permit him to enjoy
The figure of the woman repre-
sents his wife; the babe, his child.
They died in the Pueblo floods two
years ago.
Recently the stranger appeared
here. Few paid heed to him until
they saw him molding his figures in
the sand.
Gradually crowds gathered and
watched But hour after hour went
by without the stranger apparently
noticing them, so absorbed was he
in his work.
Slowly the sand assumed the
shape of young mother, washed
upon the shore, with her child
clasped to her breast.
Onlookers pressed the stranger for
an explanation. And here is the
tale he told:
II went to Pueblo, Col, with my
wife and baby, for my health, just
a few months before the floods of
1922. We were hardly there, it
seemed, when the flood came.
my wife and baby were swept
away by the rushing waters. l was
too, but the rescuers succeeded in
dragging me out. But they missed
my wife and baby.
knowing they had been carried
downstream, I began my search. l
secured river banks and islands day
and night.
II found them on a sandbar in
just the position 1 have carved them
here
II often go to the little country
churchyard. where they're buried
now. But my grief does not find
the comfort there that it does when
T am molding these figures in the
sands"
The stranger, though. refuses to
reveal his name or tell from whence
he came.
II have no DESIRE" he says, "to
go back to my former home or my
old position. 1 don't want to be
bothered with expressions OF sym
pathy from my old friends and as
sociates.
81 just want to be left alone near
the waters that stole my wife and
baby away from me-"

that they obtained his discharge.

Everything quieted down until
after President Coolidge took office
and then Mrs. Mabel Walker Willie

sent down a very efficient corps of
Investigators, and sent rs people to
the penitentiary.
But they didn't get any of the
people who were collecting the

Ludlow Gurgen" was a man who
collected $4,000 per month for
graft to federal agents" Grier went
on. and he went to Europe"

look around and found that this
man Phillips was the one who got
me discharged, the man who was
indicted in the lumber fraud case.
Philips was identified as Rerub
lican state chairman in Georgia.
On cross-eXamination Grier agreed
with Mr.. Chamberlain that the gov
eminent had men working on 20
Savannah cases all the time.
$4,000 Paid for Evidence
Didn't YOU know the government
paid as much as $4,000 TO buy
whisky as evidence there?' Mr.
Chamberlain asked.
NO. I don't" Grier said.
You couldn't have worked up 2
case like that in three months
could you?" Mr.. Chamberlain Went
on.
Grier agreed that the department
OF justice sent down a fine lot OF
men" and asserted that three pro
h.bition directors in Georgia were
all right" He said the graft charges
were the only ones not prosecuted.
Il think the business is still goins
on, but not on so large a scale, y
Grier observed.
Don't YOU know that some q!
these people are going right on, TAX

Mr. Chamberlain asked.
Grier was not informed. His OWL

VIRGINIA SCANDAL
INVOLVING THE LEES
IS AIRED BY PROBERS
BY ARTHUR G. JENNINGS
Copyright. 1924, by the Consolidated Press
AssoCiation-Special Leased Wire
10 The Atlanta Journal.)


RICHMOND, Va, April 19.-The
national capitol is not the only city
that has its scandals in high place.
Virginia, still firm in her belief in
states rights, is conducting her own
scandal hearing and it is the illus
trious name Of Lee that is being
dragged through the mire.
Colonel Macdonald Lee, president
of the Sons of Confederate Veterans
and at present state commissioner of
game and inland fisheries, is the
storm center. The charge is i'm
morality rather than criminality.
AS commissioner of game and
fisheries, Colonel Lee has at his
disposal splendid swift boat, the
Maury. Today a legislative commit,
tee, sitting in the historic senate
chamber of the capitol of the Con-
federacy, is bringing to a close an
investigation into allegations of
high Wassail aboard the Maury.
The star witness in the case has
been r. NJ. Tomlinson, a discharged
deck hand. Tomlinso nswore on the
stand that he had observed various
INSTANCES VI IulSCOuuuCG dDOdIu Tic
Maury. One of his stories linked
Colonel Lees name with that of
Miss Eva Harrell, an employ in the
colonels department. Another dealt
with a Norfolk hotel man named
Barrow, and Miss Ruth Ruth De
ford, a pretty Norfolk telephone
girl.
Miss Harrell took the stand and
denied the story. and without the
flicker of an eyelash. Miss Deford
sobbed out her denial Colonel Lee
repudiated the charges with We.
hemenanCe.
The commissioner admitted, how.
ever, that he and his male secretary,
both married men, had spent more
than one night aboard the Maury
when unmarried, unchaperoned girls
were aboard. He referred to the girls
as children" and declared he could
see nothing improper in taking them
on little excursions.
The NEST dramatic moment of the
hearing came while Miss Deford
was on the stand.
"Old War Horse Lindsay Cor
don, attorney for the prosecution,
asked Miss Deford whether she was
employed by the telephone company
81 don't know" she sobbed. 81
was until this investigation started.
l don't think Ill go back"
'What-not go back" growled
the attorney.
do you think any lady would
so back and face this?" she asked,
and then broke down completely.
AS several men rushed to give her
water and smelling salts, Colonel
Lee rose to his full height and in
a voice quivering with anger, cried:
The dirty scoundrel"'
The senate chamber buzzed with
excitement for a moment, but no.
body took the insult to himself. Col
Onel Lee strobe to a window and
opened a newspaper which he held
up before his face until the COM
motion subsidized.
Attorney Gordon admits he is not
hopeful of the outcome OF the hear
ing. He has contended that the
mere fact that Colonel Lee permit
ted mixed overnight parties on the
AIaurY is sufficient cause for his
removal. He has further stated
that he, at least, believes every word
of the discharged deck hands story.
But l am inclined" he said with
a shrug. Il am inclined to think
that l have a different idea OF this
matter from the majority of COM
mittee."
