- The spread of the boil weevil
through the cotton fields Of Texas has
become matter Of deep concern to the
planters aud to the cotton interests Of
the country. The weevil made its way
from Mexico into Texas several years
ago and its ravages last year resulted
in tho loss OF an immense amount Of
cotton. The scientists OF the govern
ment have been unable to find any
remedy for the weevil, but whore they
have failed the forces OF nature have
succeeded. II is said that a small
green bug has made it appearance in
the Texas cotton field and the coming
Of this bug has been followed by the
departure of the weevil, The bug
does not attack the cotton plant but
subsists entirely on che boil wevil and
it appears to have heaIthy. appetite,
clearing ielS of the wseyil in o very
short time. Where the bug came
from no one seems to know and this
point is immaterial. Since it has be-
gun business the government can sive
its special corps Of entomologiats q
vacation. The little green bug prom
ises to solve the weevil question ia .
thoroughly practical manner and at
no expense to the country.

Merits OF Alfalfa.

To the Editor of the News and Cou.
rier: | have read with pleasure your
criticisms in your paper of the 4th on
an article headed "Alfalfa as q For
age Crop" and can think Of no bet
ter service you can render your coun-
try than by advocating the use of al
falfa, which is Lucerne, and I cam t
see why our people don t call it by its
right name Uucerne.) Alfalfa is its
Mexican name for Luccrne, so I will
call it by its right name. You call
for the experience of those who know
it's value by using it. I presume 1 am
not tho Oldest. yet amongst the Oldest
Of its friends. presume it has been
forty years since I begau to SOW Lu-
cerne, and my appreciation of it has
grown with it's use, and I assert with
out fear Of successful contradiction
that no forage crop with which I am
acquainted equals Lucerne in value,
whether fed green or as hay. You
may SOW in September, aud may have
to help it against weeds early next
spring, but by tho middle Of April
you may NOW it, and then every 80
days until the middle of September.
There is no danger of weeds and grass
taking it, after the mower comes in.
I was at MY sons, John D. Watts, on
the Gath Of June, and saw his crop Of
Lucerne. He had cut it twice and it
was ready again-say three crops by
the 1st Of July. What is there in the
forage line that will equal this? AZ
ter the first cutting you may NOW it
every thirty days until the middle Of
September. 1t beats red clover both
in production and long life if treated
properly Chat is keep cattle and other
stock from tramnins 80 ~hioh 10 the
easiest way to kill it, and manure it
every year, and il will live indeG ni:sly.
There is now growing in a garden in
Laurens Lucerne that was sown at
least fifty years ago by the late r. T.
Simpson, ut one time member to Con-
gress from this district. I don't
doubt the statement about one acre
feeding five horses. I had at one time
half an acre and MIXED seven large
cows which were fed night and morn
ing, and every time we had to cut the
balance Of monthly yield the COWS
did not eat it all. It may be that
there are certain soils that don't grow
it we'll, but it is not so here. So
hope. you may continue the good work,
encouraging the Lucerne crop.

Moonshiners Defended.

"The average mountain mooDshiner
is not the terrible desperate he is
painted by writer's of romance and
men who have never come in close
contact with them," said Gen. James
Longstreet, the present Railroad Com
missioner and United States Marshal
for Georgia back in the 70s. sI have
lived among these people and I dis-
like to HEAR them condemned az a
whole simply because few among
them show 2 spirit of -lawlessness.
The mountaineer, and especially those
of Georgia, is harmless, peaceable
fellow until cornered, when he will
fight like demon for his liberty, and
J u not know but that trait is to be
admired rather than condemned. They
are mostly descendants of the old
pioneers wto came from South Caro-,
lima and Virginia and settled when
the Indians were yet in Georgia. They
are people who love liberty and free,
dom, with an earnest and honest love,
only second to that which they have
for their God. In their estimation
man who is dishonest and will lie is
the lowest aud meanest Of creatures.
The first shot fred at revenue
officer in Georgia was on June 16,
1875, and believe that from that day
to this the moonshiners have kept q
compact to show no quarter TO reve-
nue. officers and spies. On that date
james Findlay, a brave deputy mar
shal who lived at my homeGaines-
ville-was making raid with posse
on the ill:oit distillsry o7 old man ia
cob Shane, near Leather's Ford,
place where John q. Calhoun and 9TH
er public men frequently visited many
years ago when the gold fever was at
ita fury In that section. Jacob Shane
had extracted the juice OF corn for
years unmolested, and when Findlay
and his men went in search Of tho
still they were met with shower Of
leaden balls from the mountain sides.
Findlay's horse was shot from under
him, and he received two ugly wounds
in the leg, and others OF the raiders
were slightly injured. The sound Of.
the rifles had scarcely sent echoes
through the mountains before there
were wild yells Of O half Hundred
mountaineers who gave chase and fol-
lowed some Of the raiders almost iuto
the very heart Of Gainesville. II De-

What a million dollars would do for the
science OF astronomy; how a great be-
%nificcnt trust might be formed among the
Il world s leading astronomers; how. q board
of advisers, consisting in part of direc-
tors Of the principal observatories of the
United States and In part Of older as
tronomers retired from active work, could
apportion the income from such a sum
Of money In such manner that the best
possible astronomical use would be made
of it-such In essence is an astronomers
{ thoroughly practi al dream described in
e a special report Just issued by Professor
D Edward c. Pickering, director of the Har-
ward ASTRONOMICAL Observatory, on the
subject of the Endowment of Astron-
omical Research And 1t is dream
that. considering the fact that the endow-
lnent of the observatory in his charre
has been increased from SIG. 900 to s900,O00
In the past quarter of a century, may
seem to stand fair chance of being

At any rate, Professor Pickering, who
has already had good opportunities to SEQ
K the benefits derived from disbursements
OF even small sums of money which have
enabled different observatories to carry
on special investigations, is SO fully con-
WINGED that the proposition of incorporat-
i Ing, as 1t were. an astronomical trust
with capitalization of one million. or
even two million dollars, is feasible that

s. Not only would the special endowment
of this new institution have to be managed
by the board, but a close connection With
all astronomical research funds would
need to be established as fast as possible

too, should be applied in the most effect
i've way. In fact, It would be desirable to
secure a maximum Of Capitalization OF
astronomical interests in the hands of the
one board. Membership In the organlza-
ton, however, would certainly have no
effect upon the amount Of the appropria-
ton offered to any given observatory;
all that would be necessary would be evil
dcnce Of capacity to do the required work.
4 One advantage OF this centralizntion'
scheme Is that the results from the large
sums of money at present invested IN
astronomical plants would at onco begin
to yield richer return than now, for 1t

work that Is, from the astronomers point
of view, of pressing Importance. This
board would be able to place various
tasks of observation and calculation just
where they could best be performed.

would thus be eliminated This is, indeed,
