is 1T BOIL WEEVIL?

Farmer Near VIdaIia Thinks the
Pest Has Appeared.
Vidalia, Ca. Aug. 26.-Corn crops
around Vidalia are excellent. Cotton
has recovered from the setback and
bids fair to make good crop, but the
recent heavy rains and hot sun has
wellnigh, done it up. 1t is shedding
rapidly and some fields look as if hot
water had been used to scald it, In
such cases, and they are not a few,
the cotton will be dead in two weeks
and no hopes of any top crop are felt.
One of our best farmers, a son of
Mathew Sharp was in town yesterday
and says there is no doubt but what
he has the genuine boil weevil in his
cotton and that some 6ffhis neighbors
have it also. He says that they have
destroyed fully one-half of his crop.

North, who seem able to make better
rates. IF we should get our insur-
ance through Northern agents" said a
citizen, even though we paid the same
for II, it might force all of the agents
here to get active and have the objec-
tionable Is cents removed
The Chamber of Commerce is con-
tinuing its efforts to secure the re-
moval OF the Is cents on the 800. The
committee which has this matter in
charge forwarded a letter to Secre-
tary Fleming of the Tariff Association,
replying to his letter read at the meet
ing of the Chamber of Commerce Tues
day. The letter stated that the Cham
Der is dissatisfied with the answer Civ
en- by the Tariff Association to its
previous requests, and asking that the
matter be given immediate attention.
The attention of the Tariff Associa-
ton was called to the fact that In
spector Lawton had stated that the
causes which led the Tariff Associa-
ton some years ago to levy the Is
cents charge no longer exist. Since the
causes were removed there is now no
reason why the charge should remain,
and the Chamber emphasized the fact
that it is unnecessary to wait until
the city has been re-rated before this
extra charge is removed.
A member of the Chamber of Com
merce, in speaking of the matter, said ::
I'VE are doing all that we possibly
can to secure the removal of this Is
cent charge and we shall not let the
matter drop until we have exhausted
every effort. There is no reason why
the Tariff Association should wait un-
til the city has been re-rated before
removing the charge. The charge was
levied for certain causes, an inspector
of the association admits that these
causes have been removed. and yet
the association maintains that it can
not remove the charge until the city
has been re-rated. This is nothing
but an attempted evasion, as 1t is evil
dent that there is no need, of waiting
for the re-rating of the city before
removing a charge for a cause which
1t is admitted does not now exist"

PLEASE EXPLAIN.
Russia Is Asked as to Her In
tentions in China.
Uncle Sam Strongly Protests Against
Her Policy in Manchuria.
The Open Door, as Promised, Must Be
Maintained.

Washington. April 26.-Russia's de-
mapds in Manchuria and their effect on
American interests were the subject of
IA conference, this afternoon, between
Secretary Hay and Count Cassin. the
Russian ambassador, which occurred
al Secretary Hays house and lasted for
nearly an hour
1T is denied that the ambassador
brought official advicesffrom his gov
eminent, but the fact that he is still
suffering from an attack of lumbago
which has confined him to the embassy
for several weeks is evidence of the
urgency of the call.
Steps already have been taken by the
state department to ascertain the true
inwardness of Russias latest move
Ambassador Mccormick at ST. Peters
burg has been instructed by cable to
present to the Russian foreign office a
note, Which, while automatically
known as one of inquiry, is in sub
stance a strong protest against Rus
sia'S demands. Cabed instructions al
so have been sent to Minister Congar
at Peilin to express to the Chinese au-
thoritieS the dissa tisfaction of the
United States with Russias demands
and our hopes that China will not ac-
cede to them. No answers have yet
been received to either note, though Of
fetal assurances are still reaching the
department that American interests in
Manchuria will be protected.
In the departments note which Am
bassador Mccormick probably has pre-
scented already, Russia's attention is
called tn tho
eddy have been given the United States
relative to the preservation of the in
tegrity of China and the continuance
OF the open door policy. Russia also
also is reminded of the severe blow to
American trade which must follow the
granting of the first two demands, that
no more ports or towns in Manchuria
be opened and that no additional for
eign consuls be admitted.
Russia's reason for contending for
the closed door in Manchuria is the
claim that the open door there is not a
commercial but a political question. She
continues to assure the United States
that in some way this countrys in
terests will be protected in Manchuria
The point is made that as the Manchu-
ria demands are still in negotiat ton be-
tween st. Petersburg and Pekin, the
United States connot expect that Rus
STA make concessions until the fate of
her demands has been determined
When China has acceded to all of
these demands it is suggested that a
trade agreement of some sort can be
reached between this country and Rus
'a which will protect our trade inter
7sts. Approaching the fact that the in
terests of this country in Manchuria
are those of trade and not territory.
Russia, it is stated is disposed to make
certain trade concessions to the United
States in Manchuria in proper time.
