Lewis held this club over the heads
Of the men until now. The committees
had to be organized, for Cappellini
spewed so much about them during
his campaign that the rank and file,
determined to organize them. Now,
Cappellini, founder of the general
grievance committees, safely in the
band wagon OF Lewis, also orders
their dissolution and refuses to recog.
nize them officially.
The Progressive platform demands
the retention and development Of the
general grievance committees for the
better expression OF the rank and file.
To develop these committees under a
militant leadership to fight for the
rank and file is the object OF the Pro-
gressive miners.

EDUCATIONAL NOTICE

There seems to be some misunder-
standing about the Board of Educa-
tion's attitude toward the summer
school announcement made by Mr..
Ralph Russell, and we desire to cor
rect same so that there may not be
any criticism against the board.
The Fitzgerald Board of Education
has gone on record several years ago,
against summer schools in Our city,
and has kept clear of having any
thing to do with them Mr.. Russell
came to some members of the board
asking their endorsement, and these
members told him we did not take any
stock in the summer schools or coach
ing by individuals, but that was
matter for the parents to decide as to
who they would have to coach their
children who had failed to pass.
Our superintendent will be glad to
examine any pupils who failed to pass
in their grades, before the opening of
schools regardless of who did the
coaching.
AS to the building, we agreed to let
Mr. Russell use the Commercial course
building for his school, and books will
be given out upon a deposit of 75c
for each book.

LAW MAKERS AND LAW
BREAKERS

H. M. Atkinson, who is chairman
of the Board of the Georgia Railway
and Power Company, declares we have
become a nation of law makers and
law breakers. He says:
"What we need is fewer laws on the
statute books, more respect for law
and more regard for justice in the
minds and conscience of men.
Il do not mean that we should take
less interest in government. On the
other hand, we should takea more &C
tive intereet than ever before. The
greatest trouble is that too many of us
have pursued thu even tenor of our
way and left the affairs of the state
to the politicians and soap box orators.
The result has been that thehighest
offices within the gift of the people
have brought into more or less disre-
pute and are seldom sought by men
of marked ability and high principles.
eve have defaulted in our obliga-
tons to society and an aroused public
conscience with particular reference to
our duty as citizens as it relates to
the affairs of state and conduct OF our
government"

the Valley OF the Shadow of Death,
the sunlight of God was about him.
He was a member of one of the

leave to intervene in Scopes behalf.

from day to day that the various at
torneys have agreed not to talk I'M
til later conferences among them all
Judge Neal of Tennessee and Clarence
barrow of Chicago-have been held
and the main lines of action laid down.
It is understood that many of the
churches which seek to intervene in
the trial are not interested in the
scientific or metaphysical side of the
case. They are interested only in
the question of the right of the
state to dictate a particular kind of
teaching, especially a particular kind
of religious teaching. The attitude
of the Catholic church is so under
stood by those who have talked
with leaders of its thought in New
York.

Have You Any
Boil Weevils

How about making a close inspec'
ton OF your fields. Examine the outer
edges near the Swamps first you will
not find them all over the fields now
be sure you make close inspection in
all portions OF the field before You de-
eide that you have no weevlls. The
chances are you will lind few Weev-
lis in every field. | have not talked to
a man who has not found some weev-
lis on his farm.
One pair of weevils in h cotton field
this early and their offspring can de-
Stroy enough cotton to make a bale.
One weevil now means hundreds OF
thousands later in the season. 1t has
been estimated that as much as IL
bale of cotton per acre has been de-
stroyed by the boil weevils within 3
days time.
Prospects for a good cotton crop in
the county are fairly favorable. Pros
poets for good crop of boil weevils
are exceedingly favorable. Calcium ar
senate sufficient to poison every boil
weevil on an acre of cotton will only
cost from 80 to 40 cnts for each ap-
plcation and front three to FIVE ap-
plcations is sufficient to control the
weevl until normal crop is made.
All of those who used poison system
atical1y last year are going to use it
this year. If you are in doubt about
the use of calcium arsenate, | would
suggest that you consult with those
who have used it, and not take the
advice of the man who is prejudiced
against it.
Use YOUR head and reflect back to
such disastrous years as 1923 when
the county did not average one bale OF
cotton to 10 acres of land. Don't think
you can't poison the weevil in rainy
weather. If you will blow powder on
the cotton with a good high powered
machine it won't all wash off even
though it rains every day. The trou-
Bile is so many of our people won't
put it on when it rains. When it rains
in the afternoon put on the poison at
night.
The estimate on the cotton crop in
the county this year is from 5000 to
1000 bales. The estimation of the
1928 crop in the county was from
1000 to 5000 bales the county only
made 1880 bales. Why take chance
and make such failures. Poison now
and save your crop.
