SUNDAY, July II, 1904.
1T Is EFFECTIyE..

1t Is authori.atively announced by
the Department of agriculture that the
newly imported Guatemalan ant will
do just what was claimed for it as a
destroyer of the Mexican boil weeyfI.
Experiments made in Texas seem to
leave no doubt of the fact that the ant
will destroy the pests, as it is stated
that two fields of cotton, covering
about 600 acres. have been cleared of
harm to the cotton plant or to other
vegetation.
The spread of this latest menace to
the South's greatest staple has been re-
markable and alarming. 1t is only
about ten years since they invaded
Texas from Mexico. and they have been
advancing and spreading at the rate
of fifty miles year The statement
is given out that the damage to the
cotton crop of Texas amounted to some
fifty million dollars last year. From
these figures. it is easy to form some
idea of what the invasion means to
the South. Moving forward and
spreading at the rate given for Texas,
it would be but few years till they
would cover the entire cotton region
and what that would mean requires no
prophet TO determine. There is no
reason to suppose that the weevils will
not flourish in any region where the
cotton plant grows, and if they are not
checked. it would hardly require a de-
cade for them to sweep the country
from the Rio Grande to the Atlantic.
If the Guatemalan recruits prove eff
fective and will do all that is expected
of them, they will be such a blessing
as has rarely been sent to any coun-
try.
But If an imported remedy is effective
in this instance, need it stop here ?
There are quite a number of insect
pests in the United States which need
chinch- bug, the locust, the Hessian fly,
and perhaps others, annually levy a
tribute of many millions of dollars on
the people of the United States and
hitherto no effective remedy has been
found. May it not be possible to find
something that will destroy these
pests. as the ants will destroy the wee
wills? If so, the agricultural wealth
of the country will be increased by an
immense sum each year. and the labors
of the farmer, gardner and fruit
grower be vastly lightened. Whether,
If such efforts should prove successful,
the imported friends may not eventually
become worse pests than the originals
were is a matter for the future to de-
eide. The main point at present is
that the foreign ant will rid the South
of the greatest danger that has ever
threatened Southern agriculture.

PACKERS TRYING TO
BEAT ROOSEVELT.
One Story Washington Hears and These
Are the Reasons,

Washington. July 14.-Responsible
officers of the Administration know
nothing to justify the assertion that
the strike of the packing house en-
ployes Is the result of efforts made
by the packers to defeat President
Roosevelt.
Apparently tho only signs upon
which the assertion is based are that
the Federal Government sued out a
writ of injunction because of the prac-
tees of the packers that are in Viola
ton OF the statutes and that the De-
partment of Justice has asked that the
hearing of the appeal taken by the
packers he expedited. The application
Tor the injunction was made in Nav
1902. AS soon as Judge Grosscup en-,
joined the trust the packers noted an
appeal, and this is pending in the SUI
preme Court. Under the statute r9ss-
ed by Congress about eighteen months
ago. Attorney-General Knox applied to
the Supreme Court for an advancemant
of the case. AS the law Is mandatory
the Court set the appeal for hearing
at the October term, which begins early
in that month. y
This application, for advancing the
case. IL Is asserted, angered the mack
ers so much that they conspired TO
force their men into the strike for a
three-fold purpose: First, to give them

lishments open shops" therehv FOL

A NEW OPENING,

We have been so accustomed to get
ting our professors and specialists from
the North and East that IL Is well
come change to see the process re-
versed, as stated in this item:
Alfred Alderman of Macon, Ca, has
been appointed forester of Massachu
setts He took two years course in
In that study at the New Haven insti-
tuition. He was named by Governor
Bates of Massachusetts,, and will have
his headquarters in the State House.
In the old world. especially In Eng
land. where every tree has value
forestry is a science. and the duties of
a forester are important Heretofore.
or up to recent period, the main OBJ
ject in connection with our trees has
been to get rid of them as fast as pos
sible. If there was no demand for them
as lumber or firewood, the log heap"
and the torch furnished the quickest
and most convenient method of getting
them out of the way. with no thought
of the future.
OF late there has been a decided and
sensible change of both opinion and
practice. Men in all sections Of thu
country are paying some attention to
the future: 1t does not require any
Extraordinary gift of prophecy or sec
ond- sight to foresee the day, not very
far off, when there will be no timber
in this country unless different meth
DDS are adopted and that very soon.
In short instead of destruction, there
must be both preservation and refores-
tation. Forestry Is becoming a study
in some of our institutions, and the
business of the forester will be some
thing more than a sinecure. The tins
Is near at hand when each State must
provide for timber protection and COM
petent men must be found to take
charge of the work. Another learned
profession" has been added to the list,
and Mr.. Alderman is among the first of
our Southern youths to seie the OPP
portunity. There will be demands for
many other intelligent and trained men
in this new field, and the Southern boys
should take advantage of it, for they
will find places ready for them, as Mr..
Alderman did.

ONE BANDIT CAPTURED.
Officials Think They Have Arrested q
Train RObbcr.

Houston, Tex. July 16.-One arrest
has been made in connection with the
hold up of the International and Great
Northern train at Speers late last
night. This suspect, whose name is not
known. declares his innocence.
Sheriff Watts of Anderson county
and posse has been at work all day
tracking the bandits. Ranger Captain
McClelland got orders to proceed to
the scene and arrived at Oakwooods
late this afternoon. 1t is officially re-
ported that the bandits, of whom there
were four, according to the best infor-
nation. entered the express car after
blowing open the door with dynamite
and took therefrom four packages, one
containing $21, another 81. a third not
known to contain money and a pack
age of railroad tickets.
Fireman Roy Milton who was hurt in
jumping from his engine, is not seri-
ously injured. The county in which the
hold up occurred is filled with timber
and thick underbrush and there are
many opportunities for the bandits to
hide out.

In the last fifty years" Referring to
Mr.. Clevelands bond transactions,
about which he has been so bitterly
criticised, Mr.. Irby said:
1t was the greatest thing he ever did
in his life. He stood in the breach
single-handed and alone, and fought
the whole Republican Party. and all
the hoboes in the Democratic Party, of
whom I was one at that time. BY that
act he preserved the honor Of the
United States and its financial system
and l believe he actually saved the
Government itself from disruption.
Mr.. Irby is not the only one of the
"hoboes," as he calls them. who lived
to do justice to Mr.. Cleveland. though
not all Of them are so prompt to admit
1t as he was. And Mr.. Cleveland is for
tunate to have lived to see himself
justified in the estimation of those who
fought him most bitterly. .

NO SELL OUT.
MIR. Bell Explains His Relation to
Judge Woods Resignation.

Fort Deposit, July 16, 1904.
Editor The Advertiser:
The article in The Advertiser con-
corning the disposition of the impeaeh
ment case against Judge Wood does
me injustice, since the inference is that
he and 1 and our attorneys and friends
met and agreed on a compromise for
the sake of peace and harmony in the
county. Now that morals in Lowndes
have reached that level that no man
among us can be too pure to be above
suspicion and lest l may be suspected
of selling out, l beg space to make a
statement of the facts.
on last Thursday afternoon Mr.. A. D.
Pitts one of my attorneys called me
over the phone and told me that Judge
Wood had resigned and that this abated
the case and asked me to stop the wit
nesses. Later he wired me. to come
to Montgomery the newt morning. When
/ arrived l asked him If the Governor
at this late hour in the case could not
refuse the resignation and his reply
was that the Governor had no authority
to refuse IL and referred me to case
in the 49th Alabama Reports where
another official had resigned and that
the only thing to be done now was to
accept their offer to pay half the cost
or leave 1t to the court to say who
should pay it, Acting on the advice
of my friend and Attorney, Mr.. Pitts. 1
agreed to do this, and this is all there
is in it,
There Is not and never has been anv
bitterness in the county over this if-
fair that l know of, and If there was
IL would appear to any rational man
that the proper way to reach peace
would be for Judge Wood to resign his
nomination, and let us have new pri-
mary election. V. H. Bell.

THE INDEPENDENTS FOR PARKER

1t is generally conceded that when
the independent voters of New York.
New Jersey and Connecticut are united
in support of a candidate, his cleo
tion is assured. That is. they hold the
balance of power between the two par
ties. The independents consist largely
of what are called "mugwumps." They
believe in civil service reform and
purity in politics. They are divided by
many, but they are in the main earn
est and active men who, when they
espouse the cause of a candidate, work
necessarily during the campaign and
vote without fail on the day of the
election.
Judge Parker, fortunately. 1t seems
already, will have the support of the
independents in this campaign, as quite
a number of their most prominent lead
ers have fastened to declare for him.
Conspicuous among these is Hon. Carl
Schurtz, who probably. Yields a larger
influence upon that class of voters than
any man in the country. Writing from
his summer home. he has addressed a
letter to The New York Stats Zeituns,
of which the following is a transla-
ton:
Not as a partisan, but as an indie
pendent. 1 feel bound to give express
sion to my high esteem for Judge Par
ker. His convictions and opinions on
the money question, the tariff, imperi
alism and civil service reform appeal
to citizens Of my way of thinking Yet
IL l, as an independent citizen. had any
doubts as to which of the candidates
should receive my vote, they have been
entirely removed by Judge Parkers
action with reference to the conditions
of his nomination.
In that he has given to the American
people a noble example of high moral
courage and civic virtue and has done
the republic an inestimable service.
II is just such an example that our
public life needs. The height to which
Judge Parker WIN carry this standard
Will measure his rise in the esteem and
confidence of his countrymen. who will
be all the more certain to hold him
worldly of filling the highest office in
the nation.
