MERIDIAN WANTS
THE ENCAMPMENT
WILL MAKE AN EFFORT TO GET
STATE MILITIA TO COME THIS
suMMER-sPEcIMEN OF BOIL
WEEVIL.

Meridian, Miss, May 12.-tspecial)-A
movement was started here this afternoon
by the leading citizens Of Meridian to
secure the annual encampment OF the
national guard of Mississippi and a
strong effort will be made to convince the
state officials at Jackson that this city
can offer more advantages for an en-
campment than any other In the state.
This movement is prompted in one par
ticular by the great success attendant
upon the entertainment of the late con-
vention of the state teachers associa-
ton and a desire of Meridian citizens to
show that they can take care of any
large assemblage of people.
Those at the head of this movement
are Gen. w. d. Cameron, Mr.. J. w. Nc
Corkle, and President o. L. Mckay of the
board of trade. These gentlemen have al
ready made arrangements with the own
ers of the old fair grounds property for
the use of the grounds for the encamp-
ment with the water works company for
a sufficient supply of water at a nominal
cost and with the street railway COM
pany for electric lights and ample car
service, and a committee will be named
at once to secure funds for entertain
Nag the soldier boys.
General Cameron wired Adjutant Gen
eral Fridge tonight not to locate the en-
campment until Meridian is heard from
and Mr. o. l.. Mckay, representing the
board of trade also sent a message to
Governor Vardaman tonight requesting
that he take no action in locating the
encampment before considering the ad-
vantages offered by Meridian and asked
that the state officials visit this city dur
ing their coming tour and see Whatvcar
be offered here in the way .r'-entertain-
ing the militia.
Among the advant gees claimed by this
city for the sts-s encampment are the
size = fhe IT., its facilities for caring
for Re srowds and the fact that there
are tlhes military companies located here
T. gentlemen behind the movement
,4efeS not half-hearted in the matter but
will work hard to fulfill every requirement
that will tend to make the encampment
a complete success and to aid in making
the state militia organization one in
which all the citizens of the state can take
pride.
Somewhat of a sensation was caused
here this afternoon among cotton men
by the exhibition of what is supposed to
be a specimen of the Mexican boil weevil
found In a cotton field near Hickory in
Newton county. The specimen was Sc
cured by j. L. Wells, a prominent mer-
chant of Hickory from the Tidewell plan
taton.
Mr.. Wells said there were plenty more
of the insects In the field and he was
satisfied that 1t is the Mexican boil weevll.
Expert cotton men of this city are not
entirely satisfied as to identity of the
specimen and 1t has been sent to Captain
b. w. Marston of the Louisiana boil
weevll commission for examination.
