WeeyiI Damage is Increasing.

Galveston, Aug. 2G. In conjunction
with the weekly crop bulletin of the
Texas section of the United States
Weather Bureau has issued, Profes-
sor w. ID. Hunter, special agent Of the
agricultural Department III charge of
the boil weevil investigation in Texas,
has issued q special report on the boil
weevii and the injury it has inflicted
to cotton during the past month. He
says:
Since the publication of the map
showing the distribution Of the boil
weevil in Texas and Louisiana on
July ~, the department has continued
the investigation Of northern counties
in Texas. In Eastland, Palio Pinto,
Parker, Tarrant, Dallas. Kaufman and
Denton Counties Daany points have
been visited. The result Of the inves-
tlgatiOn has shown that the line indi-
eating the northern limit of the seri-
ously infested region has, since July
10. moved about 20 miles nOrthward.
In other words points in the lati-
tude OF Dallas and Arlington, which
ut that time were uninfested, now
show q considerable number of wee
wills. In fact, they are now found in
the vicinity of CarrolltOn, in Dallas
seven miles south of the Denton Coun-
ty line.
cat the last mentioned points the
finding of numbers of adult weevils in
the cotton field with no lavae or other
immature stages indicates that the
migration is taking place. This MigTa-
tion will continue indefinitely, it's ter
mination depending upon climate con-
ditions in the fall.
"FOr the present it may be sufficient
to state that the northern limit Of the
seriously infested region has moved 20
miles n0rthward during the last 30
lays. Weevil damage is now general
from Hill and Navarro counties south
ward TO the gulf. In Victoria, Karnes
and Bexar counties southwark to the
gulf. In Victoria, karnes and Bexar
| Counties the insects have multiplied
to such an extent that it is very rare
| ly that bloom is seen in the fields.
"Y'he squares are all being punctured
rs they are formed, and the surplus of
weevils is attacking the bolls in q
great many cases. In the latitude of
the counties from Washington to
Travis the weevil has not yet reached
many fields where 20 to % per cent. of
the squares are not yet destroyed.
However, it will require only a
week or 10 days for the pest to mul-
tiply so that all Of the fruit will be
destroyed. The only prospect for q
crop through that region is from the
| bOls that are already set upon the
plants. From the latitude from
Washington and Travis Counties
northward to johnson and Ellis, the
percentage of infested squares de-
creased from the neighborhOod of Is to
25."

The Union Herald, Washington, D..
c., propounds this question: "The
question now is, shall labor permit it.
self to be used as paw in the inter
esting game Of politics?" Certainly.
Aren't laboring men, at the behest Of
political agents, striking to create a
diversion and discomfort? There is
nothing else to strik. for, because
there has been no cut of wages to just
ify it, in fact there has been no de-
crease in wages except where the de-
crease Of business made it necessity.
Labor will have fewer troubles TO Goa
tend with when it becomes thoroIc h.
ly informed on business conditions
and learns to adapt itself to the vary
ing economical conditions-condi-
tions all the legislation in Christen-
dom cannot control, except for univer-
sal harm.

1t is graf lying to note the extreme
tendency toward democratic harmony
in all sections Of the country. 1t
bodee well for the party at the ap-
preaching presidential election. In
West Virginia everything has been
subordinated to the wishes Of Mr..
Davis, the Democratic nominee for the
yice.presidency. The Democrats of
that State are most interested in carry
ing West Virginia for Parker and
Davis. They do not want to see the
State 60 against the aged ex-senator,
who occupies place on the presiden-
tial ticket. They are subordinating
everything to the main fight of carry
ing the State for the national ticket.
Consequently the warning factions of
the Democracy in that State have
grounded arms and in the State Con.
vention the utmost harmony prevailed.
In Indiana the same thing is appar-
ent. The party is in fighting trim
under the leadership Of Thomas Tag
gart, National Democratic Chairman.
A strong ticket has been nominated
for Governor and State House officers,
and if Roosevelt carries the State he
he will know he has been to the mill.
In Kansas and other western States
the Democrats will fuse with the
poprlists and in that way down Roose-
welt. In New York the Tammany
and Anti-Tammany factions are work
ing in harmony, which means Demo
cratic success in that State.

A better time than now can never
be had to show home seekers the pos
sibilities of the South, especially
South Carolina; crops at no time were
ever in finer growth or better condi-
tion. Agrioulturally, South Carolina
is on rising tide, and growing pros
peroualy, and with the advent Of new
citizens and improved methods Of
farming the State will advance dan
gerously near first place. The rail
roads and individuals interested in
immigration should arrange some cx-
cursions with liberal stop over privi-
leges from the North to the South
while the crop situation and manufac-
turing industry are SO inviting.

There is the keynote of the char
acter of Ralph Burton, United
States Senator, indicted and convic-
ted and disgraced.
The words belong to Burton.
They were taken from his testimo-
ny, and they represent that absence
of conscience in business affairs that
is doing more to corrupt humanity,
doing more to help governments to
become more corrupt than any 9th
er element.
In letter to a friend Burton la

"God is with me and I fear not"
No one has yet heard Of God

says. Here's hoping they may be
successful.
Some of our young people have
succeeded nicely in their school
teaching and boards will do well to
secure them. Many Of them are
working hard to advance in their
studies to fit themselves better for
the work of teaching. These should
be encouraged.
If school boards will have better
schools, they must require higher
qualifications of teachers.
We shall have two teachers OF ex-
perience graduate this year, and
the schools that secure them will
secure the very best.
Our enrolment has reached 122.

to make himself believe that a gov
eminent official can honestly go
into Wall street. either in person or
by proxy, and buy stocks that he
knows will rise because of coming
legislation; or that it is right to ac-
cept pay on the plea of illegal SER
vices" as did Ralph Burton.
And down in his heart he will
know that it is a lie, and that wrong,
rouged, masked, painted, adorned,
is only wrong, after all.
In the end the measure is honesty,
and every man, who has been situa
ted as Senator Burton has been,
knows we'll whether he Is a skulk-
ing coward; thief, in the moral
meaning of the word, a law breaker
Or an honest man.
But" said Senator Burton, 10th
er men have done the same thing,
and [ am poor"
Could you believe that the stall
wart representative of a great peo-
pie, an orator whose eloquence
could thrill a multitude; a man of
such keen intellect that he has risen
head and shoulders above his fell
lows could hope to justify wrong,
because he Is poor?
And "other men," Oh. what a
miserable excuse for him, for every
human being who has been cursed
with the money desire, and the
weakened moral sense that would
permit him to sacrifice conscience
to get it!
Men have grown wealthy and
proud in the United States Senate
They have purchased stocks and
bonds and houses and yachts with
the tarnished dollars that came to
them because Of their influence.
But don't make the mistake OF
! envying them; don't wish for the
power they WELD or the incomes
they enjoy. Don't emulate them
even if they go down to the grave
| honored by men.
Success in life does not lie in not
being found out. Senators may be
lieve it; legislators and councilmer
may hug that false philosophy tc
their breasts, but they are wrong
A thief is thief, tho he hides his
sin from the light of day and walks
erect IN the eyes of mankind.
Governments will not be purged
business will not be purged, and the
nation will not progress as itshoulc
and must progress to be enduring

WERE we to give all the space in
this paper to the subject, we could
not detail the destruction wrought
in Southeast Missouri by food and
storm week before last. Bridges
swept away; fencing and crops gone;
stock drowned; railroad bridges,
and miles track washed away.
There is no way by which the loss
es might be, approximately, esti-
mated. In New Madrid county, a
cyclone swept over small terrific
ry, leaving death and devastation
in its path. Seven persons are
known to have been it's victims
The greater part of our county was
more fortunate; however, in the
norh end of the county, Big White
water is said to have been higher
than the old inhabitants ever saw it,
and much damage was done to the
farms and other property along its
course. In the southwest part of
the county-along Castor river
the farmers suffered heavy losses,
too, as that stream, in many places,
covered the whole valley.

From Superintendent Caring
toms "Fifty-fourth Missouri Report
Of Public Scho ools" we take the fol-
lowing which may be of interest to
our readers: Bollinger county has a
total of 5,118 school children, four
of whom are colored; 80 teachers
were employed in our rpublic schools
last year and were paid sl4,047.61,
an average of s29.40 which is much
below the general average for the
state, but above the average paid in
several counties Our county has a
total school fund amounting to
S53, 631.O2. Of the 5,118 school
children, 4 ,450 were enrolled in the
schools last year, leaving 668 who
did not attend school at all. Here
is something for our people to think
about. In a small county, sufficient
number of the children to make
sixteen schools Of more than forty
pupils each-enough for any
teacher-were not even enrolled
THERE'S something wrong. Wha
is it? Where is it?
