man in the Writ Davis tract this alter

The fire from the boiler started lot

placed as close together as it was possible
to get them.
For a space of fifty yards about the
point of origin all derricks and pumping
rigs were destroyed.
A gate valve on one of the gushers was
leaking and the oil and gas became ig-
nitcd, sending a column of fire many feet
into the air. Every available man went
to work and much valuable machinery was
saved by being pulled out of the way,
The fire has practically burned itself out

COTTON WILT APPEARING.
This Time in Sampson Co.---Dr. Kllgore Tells
How it May be Prevented.

DR.. B. w. Kilgore, the State Chemist,
yesterday received from Mr.. w. j. Weeks,
of Reener, Sampson comfy, Il cotton plant
that was turning black at the roots and
rCttlng. Mr.. Weeks did not know what
was the matter with it. He said a num-
Der of his plants were so affected.
A careful examination by DR.. Kilgore
showed that it was cotton wilt, disease
caused by fungus which enters the roots
of the plant and clogs the circulation,
50 that it cannot get the necessary water
and plant food for its growth. In this
disease, Dr.. Kilgore says, the small roots
turn black and rot, and if the stem be
cut, 1t exhibits a similar darkened con
dltlOn, according to the stage the disease
has reached. This disease of cotton Is
quite extensive in southeast Alabama,
Georgia and South Carolina and is en-
tering this State from the southeast side
Two years ago number of fields were
found to be infected in Robson coun-
ty, next to the South Carolina line, and
the disease seems to be moving along the
eastern border Of the State
So far only two remedies can be sug-
gestcd for this trouble. First, rotation of
crops. 1t requires several years for the
disease to die out, once it is in the soil,
and it is not safe to put cotton in the
same land within at least three or four
years. Second, to plant a resistant va
riety of cotton on land affected.

LAYS DOWN THE LAW
Roosevelt States His Position
on the Labor Union
Question.
(By the Associated Press.)

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 20,-President
partments of the government service the
principle he enunciated at the time he
reinstated William A. Miller to the posi-
ton IN the government printing office
from which Miller had been dismissed
because OF a disagreement with the book
binders union. The President has plain
ly stated to the members of his Cabinet
that that principle is to indicate the
policy of the President, in similar
cases.
Tonight the President authorized the
publication of letter which was sent
to each member of his Cabinet on the
22nd OF July. The letter was signed by
Mr.. Barnes, /acting secretary to the Pres
ident, and is as follows:
''My Dear Sir: 1.-THE President directs
me to send you herewith, for your infor-
nation, copies of two letters sent to
Secretary Cortelyou with reference to the
government printing office, which define
the attitude of the administration IN con
nection with the subject discussed. They
are sent to you for your information and
guidance, as they indicate the policy OF
the President in this matter"
The letters to Secretary Cortelyou were
written on July 13 and IA. The salient
sentence of the first letter was:
There is no objection to the en-
ployes of the government printing office
constituting themselves into a union if
they so desire, but no rules or resolution
of that union can be permitted to over
ride the laws of the United States, which
it is my sworn duty to enforce"
In the letter of the 14th, the Presl-
dent quoted the finding of the anthracite
strike commission regarding the employ
ment of labor as follows
ct is adjudged and awarded that no
person shall be refused employment or
in any way Disseminated against on ac.
count of membership or non membership
in any labor organization and that there
shall be no discrimination against or in
reference with any employe who is not
a member of any labor organization by
members of such organiLat ton
Concerning this principle the President
wrote:
ut is of course, mere elementary de-
cency to require that all the government
departments shall be handled in accord
ance with the principle thus clearly and
feariessly enunciated.'
