Boil Weevil Remedies.

Floresville, Textile first demon
stration Of the various remedies and
machines for the determination Of the
boil weevil is to be held here June 1.
There will be no scarcity of weevil
on which to experiment, the crop be-
ing well advanced, and some millions
of the weevils to each patch. Some
Of the farmers have been trying va
rious proposed cultural methods, but
so far with apparently small success.
Some of them have tried the paris
green plan and partial success has
been reported; some of the expert
menters got good results, while others
did not.

THE TURKS
Low METHODS.
ARMENIANS IN SASSOUN DIS
TRICT ALL MURDERED.
BY TORCH AND WORDS.
Towns Are Burned and the Inhabi-
tants are Killed. Work Of Extern
nation Has Been Most Thoroughly
Done.

Paris. official dispatch to the
Foreign Office from Constantinople
confirms the reports that Turkish
troops have burned villages through
out the Sassoun district of Armenia,
killing the inhabitants. The French
ambassador, M. Constans, has joined
with the Russian and British ambas-
sadors in sending consuls to Erzer-
oum, in the hope of limiting the de-
struction and bloodshed. However,
the official advices although brief in
dicate that the work of exterminating
the Armenians occupying the noun
famous district of Sasoun is practi-
cally accomplished. The Turkish
methods appear to have been much
the same as those adopted during the
Armenian massacres. The official re-
ports do not give details as to the
number of towns burned and people
killed, but they show that the action
of the Turks has been sweeping. The
French authorities were advised some
time ago that Turkey was taking ad-
vantage of Russia's pre-occupation in
the Far East and intended to adopt a
decisive course toward the rebellious
Armenians. The information then
showed that the Turks would begin
the work of suppression about April
Is. In order to prevent this the
powers made an energetic protest.
This delayed Turkeys action which,
however, has now been executed with
the same severity as at first contem-
plated.

Something of a Sensation.

Something of a sensation was caus-
ed at Meridian among cotton men by
the exhibition Of what is supposed to
be a specimen of the Mexican boil
weevil, found in cotton field near
Hickory, in Newton county. The
specimen was secured by j. L. Wells,
a prominent merchant Of Hickory,
from the Tidwell plantation. Mr..
Wells said there we're plenty Of the
insects In the field He was salts
fed that it was the Mexican boil wee
vii. Expert cotton men are not en-
tirely satisfied as to the identity Of
the specimen. 1t has been sent to

than before the office was created. IT
might prove interesting to some to
give lew statistics with regard TO
insurance in Mississippi during the
past year. AS was stated in the be-
ginning, the total amount paid in pre-
mlums on life, fire, accident and mis-
cellaneous insurance was over $5,O00,-
600. The amount returned for losses
was about one-half that. Old line
life companies collected in premiums
S., 262,579.39 and paid in losses $716,-
9lO.7S. Fraternal orders collected in
assessments for 1904. Figures not yet
completely $7O3,907.91 and paid out
for losses 1864, ,775.15. Fire Compa-
nies collected in premiums 1872
749O7 and paid in losses $S52,57941.
Accident, liability, steam boiler and
other miscellaneous companies col
lected in premiums $lS0,4O9.70 and
paid in losses $62, ,28S.49. From the
above figures it will be seen that the
rates charged by the old line life and
fire insurance companies is too high
by far, but it is not in the province
OF the insurance commissioner to reg
ulate these rates. Some Of the fra
ternal orders have their rates too low
as will be seen by comparison Of
the assessments and losses Of the
Woodmen of the World which col
lected $160,2l1.45 and paid in losses
$214, ,35200. The Endowment Rank
Knights of Pythias collected $119,-

The Knights of Honor collected $751;
325.71 and paid in losses $147,500.

he successfully used Italian labor in
working over one half of it with the
best success. That as growers of cot
ton they are superior to the negro in
many respects. While this is of
course true, so long as the negro will
stay here and raise cotton the plan
ters will prefer him to any imported
labor. Italians may be all right, but
our people know how to manage the
negro and mule so much better that
they will not part from him so long as

We seek to educate our chilrden,
the speaker said with the expectation

an erroneous conception of what con-

are making mistakes in our public

of making these schools complete with

fitting for college. and, as only one
in four hundred attend college. the
folly of such work is apparent. Schools
are made for the children, and not
children for the schools. AS every
face and form is cast in different
mould, so is every mind and character
and to attempt, as we are doing, to
force their different minds into the
same channel, to mould every child TO
the same course of study is as futile
an effort to chisel our physical forms
so that all would look alike. Teach
the child the things that 1t is adapted

things for which it was not created.
