MIR I. w. Tillman Writes or The
Boil Worm In Texas.

Mr.. |. w. Tillman, formerly of
this county, in II letter to the
Lancaster correspondent of the
News and Courier confirms the
published reports of the damage
being done TO the cotton crop in
that State 10y the boil worms. He
Says:
"Thc boil worm has played
havoc with the Texas cotton crop.
1t is impossible to evndc and use
less to deny the patent fact that III
many sections of Texas Il great
change has come the aspect of the
cotton crop in the past ten days
Many fields that were being cs
timated at n yield of bale to the
acre have been so devastated that
it is impossible to make any estl>
mate of the yield. This shows how
quickly mans hopes may be
darliened when they are based on
cotton prospects. Bolls about ready
to open are attacked and within Il
week these bolls have been de-
stroyed to the extent of two, thirds
of bale per acre.
"Whilc many previous seasons
have been marked by the deStruc
tive work of the boil worm and
Mexican weevil, | have never seen
Il season or time when the work of
the pests was rs sudden and rs de-
structivc MS it has been the past
two weeks. My individual crop
two weeks ago promised to make
II bale per acre. Now l have liter
ally nothing to base an estimate
on. II we make any cotton it will
be September crop, and that is
very uncertain.
1T is Il fortunate thing for lis
that we have 4 record
corncrop. lam afraidthe making of
cotton is Il thing of the past with
Texas unless we get some remedy
to control the pest.

the fact that an advanced class
will be found at the Graded

Of more fully preparing our boys

year, yet arrangements will be
made for those who have finish
ed the 9th grade to continue their
studies. Such work should pre-
pare for the Sophomore class in
our colleges. Greek Will be taught
IN this class, as we'll as higher
Latin, English and Mathematics.
The superintendent and Mr.. Cox
will have charge of this work.
Ii Will be we'll for those thinking
OF taxing this course to confer
with Mr.. Banks at once. Some
nave already applied. 1t will
save the expense Of one year in

Committed to Jail ON II Serious

Soniinlt'c 'cu TO JAN ON n serious
Charge
Clyde Crawford, colorcd, was
committed to Jail at this place
yesterday on the charge of at
tempting to poison Robert Trues-
dale, also colored. Something
over month ago Truesdalo and
Crawford opened Il small grocery
on White Street. Truesdale fur
nishing the capital with the un
dcrstanding that Crawford was to
have until Sc vt. lst in which to
pay TrueSdalc for half interest in
the business. On Monday last
Trucsdale' : dinner was sent to him
ut the store. lie went to the
well and on returning sat down
to cat it. Noticing one Of the
biscuits had apparently been cut
open he lifted off the top to see if
it had been buttcred, when he
discovered what appeared like
fine PARTICLES of glass in it. He
said nothing about it but later
carried it to DR.. Crawford for
examination. The Doctor felt
confident it was poison and had 1t
left with him for analysis. In
the mean time Trucsdalo was told
to report the matter TO Sheriff
Hunter. He did SO yesterday
morning and in less than half an
hour the Sheriff had Crawford un-
der arrest and had gotten at all
the facts. TrucSdalc had not
suspicloned his partner for Il mo
mcnt but the sheriff had and took
him off to one side to tell hlm
about the matter and to question
him. Crawford pretended sur
prise, and stoutly denied any
knowledge of who could have done
it. About this time the sheriff
was called off Il few steps by d
gentleman who wished to speak to
him. While engaged in the CON
verSation, the sheriff, who was
watching Crawford on the sligh,
noticed that he appeared to have
slipped something from his poc<
ct to Il box under the side of the
building. On returning to the
negro he looked in the box and
found that he had dropped box

ing that ne was hemmed Crawford
finally admitted that he had put
Rough on Rats in the biscuit but
claimed he had done it for Joke.
Crawford is about Il years old.
He was committed TO Jail for trial
