THE COTTON BOIL wEEvIL.

Destroying the Boil In Texas.

Though. to be the Same Insect Tha. IL
Destroying the Boil In Texas.
A cotton boil weevil has appear
ed In Pasquotank county that Is
thought to be the same as the Texas
weevil.
The Elizabeth City Economist
states that:
"On Wednesday Mr.. c. w. Hol-
lowell, secretary of the Pasquotank
Farmers Club and one of the most
prominent farmers of the county,
was in the Economist Office showing
US some of the disastrous work of
the weevil. He had with him one
of the weevils, which is Of a dark
brown color and about the size of a
potato bug, and several cotton bolls
which the bug had destroyed. Mr..
Hollowell said he had noticed with
in the last few days several dead
bolls i'm his cotton fields, but did not
know the cause until "wednesday he
made an examination and discover
ed the weevil.
"The weevil gives bis attention
to the well matured boil, just before
it begins to open, cuts his way
through the side Of it and lays eggs.
which hatch into worms that eat out
the entire contents of the boil. But
this is not all. It seems that the
mere touch of the weevil is poison
Gus to the boil. So much SO, that if
he even lights on it the boil withers
and dies.
"This is thought to be the same
weevil that has been so destructive
to cotton in Texas, destroying whole
cotton fields as they go, and oul
farmers are very much alarmed.
This is the first appearance of the
weevil here"

in the custody of two officers. Seem
ing to realize then for the first time
that he was under arrest, Elliot be-
gan a furious struggle with his
captors for liberty. He drew re-
volver from the right side pocket
of his trousers and attempted to
shoot Officer James Cissell. The
officer grabbed his hand and wrench
ed the weapon from his grasp.
Elliott's struggles were so fierce,
however, that the two officers in the
c,amped quarters Of the van were
unable to overcome him. Officer
Cissel then drew his revolver and
fired two shots to attrack attention.
Chief Usher Thomas Stone, and
Officer Parker, Of the White House
force, who had assisted in carrying
Elliott to the van, attracted by the
shots, rushed back to the vehicle
and assisted in overpouring him.
In the struggle within the police
van, Elliott had broken a glass
panel with his head, severely cut.

"The following from the States.
willie Landmark is the same doctrine
we have been giving out ever since
the negro question was settled to

Every colored man qualified to
vote should be allowed to vote, re-
gardless of who or what he votes
for; but public opinion should take
note of and severely condemn any
attempt to cater to the negro vote
or TO encourage the negro to exercise
the right of suffrage. Let US forever
have an end of this negro business
in politics; let white men settle their
differences at the polls as best they
can, certain that whichever side
wins will be victory of white peO-
pie. But whoever encourages the
negro to exercise the right of suf:

vate that vote, let him be Marked"
