THE ANT AND THE PLANTER.
Government VIII Abide by the Decision
 of the COurth.

Washington. July 6.-The Department of Agriculture has referred to the De- partment of Justice the matter of the right of the government to conduct experiments in Texas with Guate- malan ant which Is said to be destruc- tive of the cotton boil weevil, a Texas planter having filed suit to prevent the government carrying on auch experi- ments.
 should the Texas courts rule In favor of the planter, tests of the ants will be made in Louisiana. whose State authori- ties have co-operated cordially in all such matters with the federal officials. The government, 1t is stated, studied carefully the nature and habits of the Guatemalan ant and concluded they might be imported safely as they feed only on insects and leave vegetation alone. but of course the government will abide by any rulings of the courts.

PARKER NOT EXCITED
NO VARIATION IN HIS LIFE AT
 ESOPUS FARM.
He Will Not Break His Silence Until Formally Notified of Nominal ton, But Hopes That
 Will Be Early.

Kingston, N .Y., July 6.-To see Judge Alton B. Parker at his beautiful home, "Rosemont," on the banks of the Hud- son, mile east of Esopus station, one would little imagine him personally in- terested in the outcome of the National Convention of a great political party which. from present indications, will nominate him for the Presidency of the United States.
 In white fiannels he sat on the veran- da of his home this afternoon and chat ted with his usual freedom and cor diality upon any subject save that of his own candidacy. To that subject he never even referred, and by no ver- bal strategy can he be entrapped into the slightest allusion to it. He has rather pointedly intimated, indeed, that his silence on this matter would bo broken only on the occasion of his for nal notification of his nomination.
 Through his Secretary, Arthur Mo- Caussand, he kept more or less in touch with events at St. Louis today by long distance telephone. but in no respect varied the routine of his quiet life as "a country gentleman. His retirement received it's first shock when, at 6:3O o'clock this morning, an enterprising newspaper photographer found him at his early morning swim, but the pho- tographer failed to convince Judge Par ker of the propriety of his errand and the threatened photograph was not taken.
 Except for the increasing number of newspaper men. there has been no mo- ticeable change in the quiet of Esopus life. as no other observers have appear ed. No great number of telegrams has been received by the Judge and his mail, which is ordinarily large, has not greatly increased.
 He takes close personal interest in the details or his farm and inter- rupted his work in that direction today only for a drive in the morning with three friends, and for short horse back ride this evening.
 It Is understood here tonight that while Judge Parker has no intention of breaking silence until formally notified of his nomination, he has expressed to William F. Sheehan his desire that in the event of his nomination, the notin- cation shall take place at a very early date, even within a fortnight

Denron-Lentherwood Case.

The assault on R. l.. Leatherwood. an attorney, by w. A. Denson. anoth- CT attorney, last afternoon, the latter using apiece of iron pipe wrapped up in white paper, is still the talk of Bir- mingham.
 Leatherwood's condition is not at all favorable. It was found necessary to trepine the skull and a few bones were broken out. Denson's bond of S1,500 will hardly be increased unless Leath- erwood should die.
 It seems that Denson had a case of a negro who had been injured and damages were sued for. Leatherwood Is accused of having sought to get this case away from Denson. Denson re- ported the matter to the bar associa- ton and in turn Leatherwood is said ta have preferred charges against Denson. Leatherwood was not look ing for Denson yesterday when he was assaulted. Denson made no effort to escape. It Is stated that Denson was carrying the pipe to his home to make some repiyrs when he came face to face with Leatherwood. The two looked at one another a moment and the blow was struck.

NO. SAYS JUDGE BROWN.
Minority Can Protect Property Rights
Without Receivership.

Judge Brown has rendered his decision
in the case of r. p. Spencer and wife
who asked him to appoint keceiver OF
the Raleigh and CASTOR railroad, alleg-
ing that they could not get fair returns
tor the seven shares of stock owned by
them. Here is the order of Judge Brown
'R P. Spencer and Ida 7. Spencer
against The Raleigh and CASTOR and
Seaboard Air Line Railway Company,
order.
In this cause the plaintiffs move the
court for an order compelling the de
iendant, the Seaboards Air Line Rail
way Company, to bring within the juris-
diction of this court the records ana books
of the Raleigh and CASTOR Railway Com
pany and to permit plaintiff :, inspect
the same.
AT the same time the defendants move
the court to dismiss the action and de-
muir on terms to the complaint because
noi cause of action is stated which plain
tiff can maintain, and that upon the
pleadings the action cannot be sustained.
THE court is of opinion that under
the provisions of the act of the General
Assembly, ratified February 27, 1901,
chapter 168, private acts 1901, and the 9th
CT acts Dlcdtcu anu GcleTIeQ 10 III Int
swer, the only remedy the plaintiffs have
is given by said chapter 1853, viz: to sue
for the value of their stocks at time of
the consolidation with interest thereon.
THE defendants having consented
thereto, the plaintiffs may if desired file
within 80 days an amended of new COM
plant for the purpose of recovering the
value of their stock and having the value
assessed in the manner pointed out in
said act Afttr such complaint is filed it
will be competent to require the produc-
ton of such books, records, etc, of the
Raleigh and CASTOR Company as tends to
show srch value
IF the plaintiffs shall elect not to
file such amended complaint to recover
the value of their stock then the court
adiudges that this action be dismissed
and defendants go without day and re-
cover costs.
