WEEVIL-EATING ANTS.
They Will Be Put In Texas Cotton
Fields.

Washington, June 3o.-Secretary
Wilson and Dr.. B. F. Galloway, the
directory OF the bureau of plant in
dustry, yesterday received the first
advices from Dr.. o. F. Cook, the de-
partment's travelling agent, since the
latter started from Guatemala with
the newly discovered ants intended
to fight the boil weevils in the cotton
districts.
Dr.. Cook cables from Puerto Cor
tez. Mex, that he will arrive at New
Orleans on July 4 with 50 colonies Of
these ants. He will Immediately pro-
ceed to the Texas cotton districts to
begin the campaign against the
weevils. The experimental colonial
ton OF these ants probably will be in
stituted first at Victoria. Tex The
location OF the colonies hinges large
ly on soil questions, the shale-like
soil being most conducive to the
success OF the experiments. A letter
received by the department today
from Dr. Cook says that the colonies
should be located in districts afford
ing loose and moist sub-soil but
we'll drained. He says the ants will
have to be kept under careful obser-
vation for a considerable period and
must be protected from birds or other
dangers until the colonies have had
time to increase materially.
The ants come from the depart
ment OF Alta Vera Paz.. Guatemala.
Dr.. Cook writes from Salama and
says that contrary to many reports
there is no field culture of cotton
there.

11-Year-Old Boy In Jail In Florence
On Charge of Murder.

Florence, June 2o.-Joseph Gra-
ham. an eleven-year-old white lad, of
the Beulah section of this county. is
in the Florence county prison. charg-
ed with murder. The little boy was
sent up to jail by Magistrate R. NJ.
Thompson, acting coroner, and he
seems to be unaware OF the serious
ness of the charge for which he is
confined.
From what can be learned it ap-
pears that Roland Burgess is another
unfortunate victim of>the unloaded
shotgun.
Graham had been out hunting and
was returning home when he met up
with some boys in the road near Beu-
lah school house. The gun was laid
aside and the boys began skylarking
and wrestling. All Of them were in
a good humor and in a playful mood.
Later one of the boys picked up
the gun and pointed 1t at Burgess.
Graham stepped between the gun and
Burgess, but just about that time the
gun fired and the load took effect in
Burgess stomach. Some OF the shot
struck Graham in the face. Burgess
fell over dead and all the boys ran
off and left him lying in the road.
Graham as he left the scene OF the
trouble took his gun along with him
and on this ground the jury said in
it's verdict that Graham was guilty
and bound him over to court.
Burgess was about the same age as
young Graham and the unfortunate
affair has caused deep grief among
all the parties connected with the al
fair.

up, and this, coupled with a large vol
ume of clearance sales by retailers,
gives an appearance of activity to mid
winter operations. The industrial sit
uation shows improvement, particularly
in IRON and steel mill assumptions and in
the putting into blast of more coke
furnaces. Little or no friction seems to
attend numerous wage reductions sched-
uled for the current month, and though
weather conditions are a bar to activ-
ity in outside work, an active spring is
looked for in this line. While wal talk
and weather conditions have operated
to raise prices of food products, the I'M
questionable improvement in the tone
of trade is the handspring of the upward
swing in prices of iron and steel, the
other metals, and hides and leather,
which, with the advance in raw textiles,
helped to raise the general level of
values of staple products to close to
the highest for a year past, and 81 per

seven per cent. below the highest point
of 1900"
