THE VERDICT.

Regardless of what may be our
individual opinions as to the merits
and dement's of dry Corvallis, it
is the plain duty of every citizen
for two years to accept Tuesdays
verdict as final and to set about in
good faith to make the operation of
the law as successful as possible.
It is the desire of every citizen to
make of this, best Corvallis. Men
differed as to which method, a dry
or a wet town, were the better.
but all had steadily in view, dis
interested desire for the betterment,
the upbuilding and the fair prog
ress of Corvallis.
Whenever a community differs
in opinion, there is but one way to
settle it, and that Is by ballot.
When the verdict has been reached
there is but one sane rule to follow,
and that Is to let the majority con-
troll. We are not wont to believe
it, but it is nearly always true that
when men differ, both are partly
right. A part of the truth nearly
always lies on either side of pub
lie uestion. T b ey W h o
think the other side is Who'll
1y wrong and themselves
wholly right, are generally mis-
taken. Therefore, in the present
instance, after fifty years of wet, it
is fair, and no more than fair that
there be sincere experiment for
two years in dry Corvallis. If,
as alleged. it will make better
town, that is what the wet man as
we'll as the dry man wants. One
will profit as much by the change
as will the other.
Generally speaking, what is
good for one is good for all, and
vice versa. 1t is the judgement of
a larger body of people. in fact to
the number of the 1856 by which
the town was carried, that the pro-
posed dry plan is the better. It is
only fair that the wet fan in line,
and be as faithful and sincere as the
dry, in an effort to test the law to
its fullest merit. by giving it sup
port, comfort, allegiance and an
honest trial. 1t is fair for all to
assist to make public sentiment for
the new order, to discourage its
violation and by every means to
endeavor to make it successful.
That is the manly way. the good
citizen sway, ''and the only way"

in Arkansas is q matter of vital i'm
tlois OF tlA state. The crops have
been devastated in a large par, OF the
state this year by the floods from the
Arkansas and Red rivers, and if this
should be followed by an invasion OF
boil weevils, the planters OF the state
would be placed in desperate situa-
ton. The appearance of the scourge
in this state is not unexpected as it
has been spreading rapidly in Texas.
and it has been predicted that it would
be only short time until it would
te extended into Arkansas.
Reports from Texas show that there
has been big increase this year in
the extent of the territory affected by
the weeyil. Last year only the south
ern part of the state was seriously at
tected, while this year it is reported
that the weevil is present in large
Numbers in the northern aud western
portions OF the state.

Considerable new cotton seed is i'm
ported each year and this is known
to be one if the methods by which
the weeyl is scattered. 1t is also
thought that it may have been intro
duced into the state in cotton seed
hulls, great quantities of which are
used in feeding cattle near the cotton

GENUINE BOIL WEEVIL|
In Little River and Hampstead Counties,
Arkansas.

The genuine boil weevil has al last
made its appearance in Arkansas. IN
sects have been found in Hemp4tead
and Little River counties within the
past few days which expert cotton
men, who kave had experience with
the Texas weevii, declare to be 2enu-
inc boil weevil.
State Senator T. c. lobe Of Hope,
Hempstead county was in Little Rock
last night, says the Gazette. and
brought to the Gazette office q boil
weevil from cotton plant on the
farm of Allen Ellis. five miles east OF
Hope. on which are two Of the insects
which are believed to be boil weevils.
Senator Jobe stated that there is ap-
parently no question but that they
of men, who have seen the Texas
weevils, are positive that these are
of the same variety.
The insects have made their appear
ance on several farms in Hampstead
and Little River counties and have
dope much damage already. il is
stated. They are not yet plentiful
enough to destroy the crops at any
place, but the effect on the crop on
the farms where they have been dis
covered can be plainly seen.
The Weevls have been found SO
far only in the eastern and north
eastern portions Of Hampstead county
and near Ogden on the Red River in
| those two counties are excited over
The appearance OF The insects, as both
are large cotton-groWine counties. The
injury to he cotton in those coIuties
this wear will not be serious, but Il
is 1clie1 ed there is no danger Of a fur
tller spread CT the weesi after this
year.
Insects have been discovered at va
rious times in Arkansas, which il was
thought We're the dreaded boil weevils
but in each case it has been found
that the fears We're without founda-
ton. About a year ago it was report
ed that the geunine boil Weevil had
been discovered in Woodruff county.
An examination proved that this was
| g mistake. and at various times the
same reports have been sent out, and
,, they have always been proved to be
erroneous. In this case, however, it
| is believed that there is no doubt OF
the identity of the insects which are
at work on he cotton in Hampstead
and Little River counties

Republicans
1t is conceivable that the election
may be SO close that this advantage

finally adopted, because under this

RECEIVER ASKED FOR THE LAND.
MARK BAPTIST, A RELl-
GlOUS PAPER.
One Of the Oldest and Best Religious
Papers Can't Pay the Printer
Claim to BE Solvent,

Little Rock, Aug. 19.--H. G. Pugh,
by his attorney, ]. G.. Dunaway. has
brought suit in the chancery court
against the Arkansas Baptist publish
ing company and the Landmark Bap-
tist Publishing company, alleging that
the corporation is insolvent, and ask
ing the appointment of receiver, 1t
is further alleged in the complaint
that the defendants have entered
into conspiracy with one J. N. Hall
to cheat and defraud their creditor(s.'
The defendants attorneys now have
the papers and are preparing an ans
wer, for which they have twenty days.
They declare they are entirely solv
ent. will pay all just claims, and will
continue to publish the paper here.
The paper thus involved is one OF
the oldest religious publications OF the
state 1t was formerly the Arkansas
Baptist, but soon after the split in the
Baptist denomination, its publishers
being among the leaders in the seces-
sion from the Convention Baptists, its
name was changed to the Landmark
Baptist, under which name il is now
appearing. The paper IS ROW in its
24th volume and Revs. q. Vt. Bogard
and r. j. Matthews are editors and
Y NJ. Barker associate editor. Rev.
w A. Clark, now pastor of the Beth
lehem Baptist church, Was for many
years its editor and head, but recently
disposed Of his interests, although he
is still said to have a claim uron the
business.
The case is one OF great perpleXity.
J. n. Hall, editor of the Baptist Flag
at Fulton, Ky, one of the stockholders
loaned the company 81 800 in 1880, for
which he took mortgage. Only
small part of the mortgage has been
paid, and about ten days ago he came
to Little Rock and brought suit in
chancery court to foreclose the mort
SdSe. Ills was subsequently, "AeiA
drawn before the act became known,
and Mr.. Bogard says the reason for
the withdrawal was that he discovered
the mortgage to be fraudulent. At
the same time Mr.. Hall settled a
claim of $500 held by the German Ma
tional bank, being allowed a discount.
H. G.. Pugh, a publisher. who had
been getting out the paper for long
time, then came forward with claim
for $219, and last Tuesday attached,
in Justice Wilson'S court, the mailing
galleys to prevent their being ship
ped to Fulton, Ky and yesterday fol
lowed with the suit for the appoint
ment of receiver, asserting claim
of $369.5O, being an additional claim
of $3.50 not yet due, but made on the
allegation of insolvency. Mr.. PuSh
says that he has good reason to be-
lieye that an agreement was entered
into between Messrs Bogard and Mat
ry plates, mailing galleys and other
material to get out the paper to be
shipped to Fulton Ky, that the paper
might be printed and mailed from that
point, and the revenues applied to
Halls claim, irrespective of the claims
