San Antonio, Tex, June l.
Jose CasiSanO. eX-cOunty collector,
who has several hundred acres Of
cotton in this county, is the bearer
of good tidings concerning the
work of red ants. Mr.. CasisanO's
fields, less than a month ago, were
alive with boil weevils. Today he
said that there was not a live
wecvil in his fields. The rows are
strewn with dead weeyiIS which
the busy little red ants are carry
ing away by thousands. Mr.. Cast
sauo says a close inspection failed
to show a single live weevil on a
cotton plant anywhere in his fields.
The ants are on the plants and in
the rows between in countless
thousands. They seem to have
completed the slaughter of the
weeyils and are now engaged in
carrying the cOrpses away, prob
ably to be stored.

May Honor BcnefaCtOr,
Dm the LlttIe Rock nemocrat.

From the Little Rock Democrat
1t is learned from high author
ity in the NJ. L. Church, South,
that there is q movement under
consideration for the change of
the name Of Hendrix College at
Conway, which was named in
honor of Bishop Hendrix, to Mar
tin College. 1t is said the matter
will be taken up at the next meet
ing Of the Little Rock Conference.
The change is to be in honor of
Captain W. w. Martin, who has
been one of the most generous
benefactors of the institution,
having donated not less than
$4,000 towards its maintenance
during the last few years. A
precedent has just been set in the
change Of the name Of Arkadel-
phia Methodist College at Araa-
delphia to Henderson College, in
honor of Captain G. G. Henderson,
chairman of the board Of trustees,
who recently donated 100000
to it.
