REPRESENTATIVE WEAVER so
STATES AFTER RECEIVING
A LARGE PETITION.

A bill to abolish the city court of
Dawson will be introduced in the leg
islature by Representative J. D. Weav-
er this week
This was made known positively at
a conference with Mr.. Weaver when
he was at home for the weekend The
conference was attended by three or
four citizens who are active in the
movement to have the court abolished
and by attorneys representing the local
bar, who take the position that it
would be a mistake to abolish the
court. The latter requested that the
bill carry referendum clause submit
ting the question to vote of the peo-
pie, which was not agreed to.
Representative Weaver was present
ed with a petition signed by between
900 and 700 voters requesting that the
court be abolished, and he announced
that it was his purpose to introduce
the bill and push it to an early pass
age.
1t is understood that those opposed
to the adjustment of the court intend
to be represented when the bill comes
before the legislative committee for
consideration,

NEARLY ALL FIELDS
INFESTED BY WEEvILS
COUNTY AGENT GIBSON AID
VISES FARMERS TO WATCH
THEIR COTTON CLOSELY.

After having made extensive field
observations of the cotton crops in
all sections of Terrell the county
agent, A. E. Gibson, finds nearly all
of the fields have a few spots of wee
wills which, if left alone, may do con-
siderable damage.
Farmers should watch their fields
very closely, and not be afraid to use
a little more poison if necessary, es-
pecially on the spots where weevils
are found" he says. The prospect for
bumper cotton crop this fall could
hardly be more favorable, according
to Mr. Gibson, who asserts that it
would be sad mistake to allow these
spots to go imprisoned and result in a
heavy hatch to come out in about two
weeks and do serious damage to the
young bolls.
Farmers should not be content with
partial control of the weevil but
should see that this cotton crop is
sold by farmers and not eaten by boil
weevils. Weevils will soon begin to
migrate, and if the fields are kept free
up to this time there will be very few
of the migratory weevils to do harm.
Otherwise, they could eat up a large
per cent of the top and middle crops.
Farmers who have used poison as it
should be used have been amply re-
paid for the expense and time con-
sumed in making applications, and the
efforts that have been put forth by
the cotton growers of Terrell county
have been very commendable. 1t has
been thoroughly demonstrated that
they can do the job by sticking to the
task, and that cotton can successfully
be grown under boil weevil conditions
is no longer an uncertainty. We can
not afford to go this far with the
marked success of control, and allow
the weevils to get part OF the crop
that can be saved.

HARRIS GROCERY COMPANY
BUILDING BIG REFRIGERATOR
When Completed Storage House Will
Keep Three Cars of Bananas.

The work of erecting huge refrig-
orator at the State Grocery Company 5
building by the F. B. Harris Co., OF
Townsville, has been nearly complet-
ed. and when finished will hold three
carloads of bananas.
F. B. Harris Company, wholesale
grocers, of Townsville, opened a
branch house here for the distribution
of bananas early in 1925, and Dawson
as location has proved ideal for serv-
ing stores in this section OF Geor-
gia and eastern Alabama. With an in
creased demand for the fruit came the
need of proper refrigeration, and work
was started about three weeks ago to
build a huge refrigerator, which will
be put in operation the latter part OF
this month.
The York system of refrigeration
will be used, and when completed the
storage room will be one OF the most
modern in the state.
Bananas are shipped to the Dawson
branch in carload lots, where they are
kept until they ripen, and are trans
ported to the retailers by auto trucks,
giving the dealer fruit ripened just to
his needs.
