WILT DISEASE IN COTTON
A Representative of the Government Agricultural Department Will
 Fxperiment in Alabama

MT. w. A. Orton, Assistant Pathologist in the Bureau of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture at Washington arrived in Montgomery yesterday. He is here to investigate the wilt disease of cotton which has been the carse of much injury in some sections of Alabama, as we'll as in other States. He expects to start experiments this fall with the hope of obtaining a variety of cotton resistant to the wilt
 Montgomery will be his headquarters during the present week, but he expects to visit as many of the affected areas as early as possible.
 Those who have been troubled with this disease in their cotton will materially assist the Department of Agriculture in it's work by communicating with MT. Orton. Letters addressed to him at Mont gomery will reach him, and whenever possible he will visit infected fields and advise in regard to their treatment.
 The wilt disease may be recognized, MT. Orton says, by the blackening of the inside of the stem of diseased plants. For this reason 1t is sometimes known as "blackheart' or 'black root" It occurs usually in scattered patches in the fields. which increase in size from year to year until they involve the whole field. Land once diseased always re-
 
 makes the disease so much to be dreaded
 The Department of Agriculture at Washington has published a bulletin on this subject. which will be sent free on application. Farmers are advised not to plant cotton on land infected with this wilt disease, as the resulting crop is sure to be injured. Any other crop may be planted as the disease attacks cotton only.
 Cotton planters are especially recom- mended to look over their fields for plants resistant to the disease and to save the seed from such plants separate for plant ing next year, as it is possible to obtain in this way variety that may be grown on infected land.
 The Department of Agriculture Is carry ing on work of this character in a num- Der of places, and it is expected that seed can be distributed to farmers after another year.

 The Atlanta Constitution of Saturday October $th. says
 The highest expectations of the audi ence were fulfilled last night in MT. Hem messy Leroyle's production of a clever comedy called "Other Peoples Money" by F.. O. Towne.
 Mir Leroyle personally gave finished and artistic performance worthy of spe- cial comment. He is an actor of ability and taste. and his role of Hutchinson Hopper showed the careful study which has made its interpretation consistent, natural to the point of a complete illu- sion, and on the whole a rare pleasure to his audience.

Reform Must Soon Come.

Savannah News.
 Republicans talk favorably of reciproc. ity. but the probability that republican senators will vote to ratify reciprocity treaties is very remote A reciprocity treaty cannot be framed that will not hit protected articles. Therefore protected in terests are united against reciprocity just as they are combined against a tariff for revenue The time must come however, and that, too, very soon, wher something will have to be done to se- cure wider market for our surplus pro ducts. Otherwise the domestic market and foreign markets oren to us will become glutted and We shall have closed mills idle workmen and hard times

 At the Hollis Street Theatre, Boston, on September 23rd, the formal opening of Miss Viola Aliens fourth season as a star occurred. According to the criticisms are that Miss Allen achieved an enor, nous success before the Hubs critica, audience. Chas. H. Howard. the critic or The Boston Globe, says of Tn the Palace of the King" Miss Aliens new play ne interest is main ntained in the play at ai- second when sympathy for the lover ls permitted to waver, never second when her struggles are not followed with rapt attention" Of Miss Aliens performance this writer says: Miss Aliens acting throughout the performance is on the highest level that she has yet reached In her art. There were moments. notably during the address to the nohles or the court, and in the scene with the King, where Dolores pleaded for the life or her lover. when the actress surpassed all her previous efforts in passionate force and semblance of convincing realism. MISS Allen made the most of the splendid .op- portunities offered her and moved the au- dicnce to one of the most demonstrative outhursts of applause that has ever been heard in a Boston theatre" Miss Allen will be seen here later in the season.

The aim of such building is to combine with reasonable comfort and safety a maximum of speed. Beautiful and swift as the modern racing machines are. no one would ever follow their lines either for safety or comfort.

All the great features that have popularized this entertainment are given now as heretofore and by special arr rangement the famous battle of Tientsin will be given. even more elaborately than was San Juan Hill at which time it was unanimously voted the greatest represen- tation of battle ever presented to the people of this or any other community

 The company has recently played an engagement in Mobile and The Mobile Register says:
 "A crowded house greeted the Una Clayton Company last night, when the comedy version of Nell Gwynn" was presented. The public had been promised good show, and particular stress had been laid upon the costuming and the scenic settings. The audience expected fairly good show. That it was sur prised and delighted was plainly demon strated by the applause. From the rising of the curtain to its fall, the entire per formance was worthy of all the praise bestowed upon It. The character of Mistress Nell best suits Miss Clayton and she was dainty, capricious, charming and daring, just as Nell should be. Francis Mercy, as Charles II, Guy Hitner as the Duke of Buckingham, Miss Francis Innis as Moll, an Orange girl, were all very good. and Miss Laura Davis as the Duchess of Portsmouth, the French spy who caused all the trouble. was very strong in the tragic parts.

bright and cleverly composed little piece with good plot causing a series of situa- tions intrinsically humorous.
 A poor young clerk wants to marry the daughter of his rich employer In stating the case, without telling Ghe name of the object of his designs, the young man se- cures the advice and aid of the unsuspi- cious old father. his employer, who ad- vises him first to elope with the girl after which the parents would then relent He even goes into the details of the scheme by which the enterprising young man may outwit the old folks. bag the girl and her millions and get the paternal for giveness after all.
 Interest in the situation is well sus- tained by MT. Leroyle's excellent acting and by the cleverness in the construc- ton of the plot. The amusing denoue- ment, anticipated from the beginning the development of which holds the interested attention, occurs when old Hopper dis covers himself to be the victim of his own schemes.
 MT. John R. Robinson was good as Chump, a dealer in bugs. Miss May Sargent was perhaps the best of the women in the piece. A highly pleased audience was present.
