The weather bureaus weekly crop
report issued last Tuesday reports the
condition Of cotton as follows: Fur
ther improvement in the condition OF
cotton Is very generally indicated. The
crop Is now in a good state Of cultiva-
ton, although some fields continue foul
in portions of the central and western
districts and in Florida. While, as
rule, good growth is reported the plant
continues small. Lice are still preva-
lent In North Carolina but less numer-
GUS In South Carolina, Georgia and
Alabama. Considerable damage by the
web worms, is reported from Oklaho-
ma and the Indian Territories, where
some fields are being devoted to other
crops. Boil weevils are spreading In
Northwestern Texas, but generally
damage is not great.
Albany, N. Y, June 81: The report
Of Superintendent Hendricks Of the
state insurance department, to Gov
ernor Higgins upon his investigation of
the Equitable Life Assurance society,
was made public here and in New
York tonight. 1t is described in the
title as "a preliminary Report" and
1t sharply criticises the management OF
the society as we'll as the new trust
arrangement for voting stock agreed
upon by Thomas F. Ryan and the three
trustees designated by him. In con-
clusion Superintendent Hendricks
says: mo superficial measures will
correct the existing evils In this socie-
ty. A cancer cannot be cured by
treating the symptoms. Complete mu-
tualization with the elimination Of the
stock, to be paid for at a price only
commensurate with its dividends, Is,
in my opinion, the only sure measure
Of relief" This report, with a copy Of
the evidence taken on this investiga-
ton, will be transmitted to the attor-
ney general for such action thereon as
he may deem proper.
THE railroads are doing all they
can to persuade immigrants to go south
instead Of west" says S. H. Hardwick,
general traffic manager of the South
ern railway. But the people Of the
different states must do their share.
and Of hospitality to the people that
we send them. 1t will not do to mere
ly sell them farm or to find for them
employment on farm or in the mills.
They must be taken into the commu-
nifty. The railroads, when they land
immigrants on southern farms or in
southern towns, have done all they can.
1t is for the people Of the south to
do the rest. If they show an inhos-
pitable spirit by segregating these new
arrivals from all interest and partici-
patton in the life Of the community,
the new arrivals will soon tire, and If
they do not depart themselves, will
write letters home which will surely
prevent any more Of their people from
following them. So 1t Is the utmost
necessity that the people take care of
the immigrants after we bring them
into their midst"

ed as unconstitutional the act Of the
state legislature against what Is known
here as doctor drumming" also the
state act ceding to the federal govern
