NOT THE BOIL WEEvIL.
Arkansas Cotton Has Besn Damaged
 @ bv the Sharpshooter.


 Little Rock, Ark, sept. N.-Arkansas cotton men, and especially those in this city, which is the chief market for the State. discredit the statements in the in terview given out at Knoxville. Tenn, by Charles P. McLane. chemist in the employ of the Agricultural Department of the United States Government, who has spent two months studying the boil weevil in the cotton producing country of the Southwest.
 Mir. McLane says portion of Arkan- sas has been devastated by the bol weevii and that Western Arkansas and especial ly Hampstead County. presents a deso- late appearance.
 After a nasty but thorough investiga- tion 1t has been established beyond the peradventure of a doubt that there are no boil weevils in Arkansas. Recently in Woodruff County, in this State, an in- sect appeared which caused much dam age1to cotton and Is still causing it. It was thought by the planters that these insects were the Mexican boil weevil, but investigation proved them to be the sharpshooter, pest which does almost as great a damage as the boil weevil. but which disappears after one season and may not appear in the same region for number of years or at all. whereas the boil weevil when once it appears, stays year after year.
 A special to The Arkansas Gazette from Hope. the county seat of Hampstead County. says the crop there is good though it has suffered some deteriora- tion. but no more than that suffered in other Arkansas counties. and there has been no evidence of boil weevll
 A Gazette special from Washington, D. C.. says: Dr. L. O. Howard. Chief of the Department of Entomology, said to- day that he had no record of the boil weevil in any of the northwest Texas border counties. Dr. Howard added, how ever. tha there was a bare possibility of | isolated cases. For instance, not long ago few of the weevils were found at the Louisiana Experiment Station and just how they got there was never known If the weevil had been doing great dam- | age' in Arkansas, the Agricultural De- partment would certainly have heard about it. Frequently boil weevil scare is precipitated by the discovery of in. | sects that resemble the weevil, but are | altogether different The Department is constantly receiving all sorts of insects which are claimed to be boil wevils, but are not

Ky, Sept 2.-Curtis Jett was placed on the stand in his own behalf to-day He said that at the time Of the shooting he was in Hargis Bros store. and then went across the street and went into the court house and then went immediately into Hargis' store and upstairs into room with K. Hargis. King Ford, Ed. Callahan and Douglas Hayes. The shooting seemed to come from the court house. Jett. on cross-ex- animation, made a bad impression. He was sunen and often refused to answer. He admitted that he was drinking on the day of the shooting.
 William Spencer and G. W. Fleener were examined for the defense with reference to Jett's movement after the shooting. Spencer told of seeing Q ladder outside ehe court house the morning after the shooting.
 The defence. to prove an alibi for Jett, placed Newton Campbell Douglass Hayes, James Brophy and Cash Williams on the stand and all swore that at the time of the shooting Jett was in Hargis Bros store Rev. Nj. W. Hiner's testimony for the defense was of no material value. J. l. Bianton, attorney for the defendant. read his own affidavit of what absent witnesses would swear to- The absent witnesses were William BriIton. Matt Spencer Robert White, Daniel White. Alex Spencer, Spencer Robbins. Henry Horn, Roger Spicer and Edward Calla- han. and all these would swear that Jett at the time of the firing of the shots was at Hargis Bros. store. King Ford would swear that he at the time Of the shooting was in Hargis Brothers store with Judge J. H. Hargis, Sheriff Calla- han and Jett. When the shots were fired Hargis told Jett to go over to the court house and to close the doors and not allow any one to pass either in or out of the court house.
 G. W. Atkinson said he attended Cock Till after being shot and he tUockrilD eaid he did not know who shot him.
