 The Rev. Roberts conducted the beau tiful service of the ritual of the Method ist church. which was enterspersed with hymns.
 The Rev Ivey preached what is known as the funeral sermon.

Gadsden. July H.-(Special.)-The pos tive statement has been made by respon- sible parties who know and have seen the boil weevil and know what 1t Is. that several farms in the Smokeneck settle ment few miles south of Gadsden are infested with the boil weevil E. R. and Henry Cunningham. two of the best far mers in Etowah county brought to your correspondent this morning a handful of cotton bolls which had been worked upon by the boil weevil.
 These gentlemen state that they were walking through their cotton crop ex- amning it when they found their panta- looms covered with the small weeyl, which upon examination proved beyond a doubt to be the boil weeyil and the bolls brought to town show very plainly that it Is the boil weevil.

 Little Interest in Fever Situation. The interest in the yellow fever scare
 which was considerable last Saturday ana Sunday has almost died out in Selma. The citizens seem perfectly satisfied that the health authorities and the city of1iclals will do everything that is necessary anu the people scarcely even discuss the situation except to ask about the num- Der of cases in New Orleans.

Tulladega, July 2S.-(Special )-Last win ter when there was some agitation in reference to the building of the Atlantic and Birmingham railroad, the Commer- cial club and the mayor had some corre- spondence with George Dole Wadley, the vice president of the road. That gentle man was cordially invited to the city at the expense of the city, and assured that the road would be given everything req sonable in the line of rights of way and terminals. MT. Wadley replied that he would visit the city later, and inform the citizens as to what was expected of them. The proposed line as then laid out in- cluded Talladega in its route. Recently a surveying corps began a line running three miles south of Taladega by the way of Childersburg. through a country so poor that crow would have to carry ra- tions in order to fly over it successfully The president of the Commercial club ad- dressed letter to MT. Wadley asking the reason of the new survey, and again assuring him of the hearty good will and cooperation of our citizens. A reply was received to the effect that If the citizens would guarantee the rights of way free to the road through the city and county the freak survey would be called off. and the road located through Talladega Of course 1t is obvious that a right of way could not be guaranteed until 1t was as- certained where the right of way began, continued and ended-over what property it passed and the exact locality of the line of road An answer was returned by the Commercial club to the effect that the rights of way and terminal facilities would be secured by the city If possible, when 1t was aseertained where such con sessions were located, and in order to learn that fact it was necessary that the proper officials should visit the city with maps and profiles and confer with the cit izens

THE EXTRA SESSION.

OF course, the President cannot be
expected to find time to run an extra
session of Congress while he Is so
busily engaged in arbitrating the wars
of the universe.-Atlanta Journal
The extra session apparently has
gone gllmmering Well, why not?
What's the use ?-Indianapolis News.
As there isn't to be any extra ses-
sion. Senator Morgan will be able to
gather up few more data for some
casual remarks on the canal question
when Congress regularly convenes-
Newark Evening News.
Speaker Cannon does not want any
extra session. Congressman have
learned that when a special session
bumps into the regular term the con-
structive recess is too restricted for
mileage and other pleasing trimmings
of legislative experience.-Newark Ad-

A PATRIOTIC LES SON.

Let our object be our country, our
whole country, and nothing but our
country. Daniel Webster.
The Comte de Rochambeau had been
a gallant soldier of France long before
he was assigned by the French govern
ment to aid the cause of the American
revolutionists. He had fought at the
siege of Maestricht; ne had led his reg
iment to the assault Of Fort st. Phil
lipe, at Minorca; he had led in the cap
ture of Fort Mahon. Always a soldier,
with the struggle of the Americans
against the heavy odds of the British
army.
On his way to America after his en-
5arkation at Brest he was attacked by
a British fleet of Bermuda, but drove
back the attackers. Immed 1tely after
landing in Rhode Island, RUohambeau
The Hawaiian star. [volume] (Honolulu [Oahu]) 1893-1912, 1905-09-28

set about the construction of fortifica-
tons that prevented Sir Henry Clinton
and Admiral Arbuthnot from making
an attack that they had planned.
He sent his own son back to France
to negotiate for the transmission Of
more troops and supplies. He had the
same interests in the cause of the revo-
lutionists that the american generals
had.
The work of De Rochambeau in TIE
war did much to hasten the tagging
end. The concerted plan Of campaign
that terminated in Yorktown was
largely aided by the efficacy OF Tho
F"enchman. The a@-aults made by ne
Eochambeau and st. Simon against
mis- stronghold convinced CORVALLIS of
the futility of his defense and led -
his surrender.
