SHERIFFS FIRE ON STRIKERS
An Italian Killed and Two Miners Sc
riOusly Wounded.

Pueblo, Colo, May S-Deputy sherifs
today fired into a crowd of riOtous
strikers at the Pueblo smelter. An
Italian was killed and two other strik-
ers were seriously wounded. Two dep
uties were previously badly beaten in
an effort to disarm the strikers.
The trouble arose over the inaugu-
ration of an eight hour day. The men
demanded the same pay for eight hours
as formerly paid for ten hours. One
hundred strikers gathered at the plant
and ~endeavored to keep strike breakers
from entering.
Several fights were in progress when
the sheriff and his deputies arrived.
There were many omen in the crowd,
and when the sheriff ordered it to be
dispersed the women attacked them
and some one fired a shot. 1mmedi-
ately the deputies fired a volley killing
one man and wounding two others
The strikers scattered.

Powers Conferred on UnOrdained

Birmingham, Ala. May S.-The gen.
eral conference of the Methodist Epis-
copal Church, South, passed its first
law today when it confirmed in the
main report of the revisals commit

unordained preachers. Under the new

by the laying on of hands, after he
shall have met the disciplinary re-
Quirements.
The committee on itinerary reported
non-concurrcnce in a series of reSolu-
lions charging the function of the
annual conference, and regulating the
exercise of transfers by the bishop.
The committee also non-concurred in
the memorials suggesting that authori-

ence to license local preachers. The

concurrence in certain changes sug-
gested for the discipline.

BOYCOTT is ON THE WANE
Final Effect of the Movement Cannot
be Determined for Several Years.

Pekin, May S.-The statements to
the effect that there is apprehension
in the United States that the boycott
of American goods is growing have
caused surprise here. All the infor-
nation obtainable shows that the
movement is waning. The Chinese
customs report for 1905 just issued,
shows that the American imports we're
n, 600, 900 taels, compared with 9,000,-
600 in 1904. 1t appears that the Inn
pOrteTs made enormous speculative
purchases early in the year, chiefly
in anticipation Of war demands, and
decrease in imports would be natural
under any circumstances until these
stocks are distributed. The report says
that the result Of the boycott * not
what had been expected. Much sIs-
picion and hostility were created. but
the general verdict Is that not much
Injury has been done to American
manufacturers or merchants. The final
effect of the boycott, however, cannot
be Judged until the close of another
year or ever later. Only the imme-
diate results are visible. In conse-
quence of climatic, war n boycott
conditions combined there is a larger
proportion of imports than usual left

CONSIDER ELKINS AMENDMENT
Great Confusion in the Senate as to
the Exact Subject Before it-Prog-
rcss on the Naval Appropriation Bill
in the House.

Washington, May 8.-Aside from a
few n devoted to the reception
OF the Allison amendments to the rail-
road rate bill, and a half hour given to
routine business, the senate devoted
its entire session today to the ineffect-
ual consideration of the Elkins amend
ment prohibiting common carriers
from engaging in mining coal or in the
production Of other commodities in
competition with shippers, and ad-
jOurned at ) p. m, in a state of great
confusion as to the exact subject before
it. The disorder was due to the fact
that a number of substitutes for amend
ments to the original amendment were
offered. During the day the senate de-
cideG the heretofore disputed point that
under the agreement the chair can en-
terrain a motion to lay on the table.
It refused however, by a vote Of 20 to
~ to lay the Elkins provision on the
table.
The amendment and the various
notifications will therefore be in order
when the rate bill is taken up tomor-
row
THE HOUSE.
Washington, May S.-The house of
representatives devoted the day to the
naval appropriation bill, and accom-
plished the reading for amendment Of
the first fifteen pages. During this
time several topics incident to the mea-
sure were discussed, including the diff
ficulty of obtaining men IN the navy,
the location Of the naval training sta
ton on the Great Lakes, the cost OF
snokeless powder and finally the un-
necessary expenditure OF 100000 a
year for chains for ships. This last
matter was under consideration when
the house adjourned.
Representatives Loud, of Michigan,
and Grosvenor, Of Ohio, offered amend
ments providing that the purchase OF
such supplies as chains, anchors, cord
age, etc, shall hereafter be by the COM
p~etitive bid process. Representative
Rixey, Of Virginia, was unsuccessful IN
getting an amendment through limit
ing to sixty cents a pound the amount
which may be expended for smokeless
powder. He stated that the price now
paid was Is cents a pound but that the
inquiry made by the naval committee
showed that it actually cost but 80
cents to manufacture the powder.
The army appropriation bill was sent
to conference with all OF the senate
amendments disagreed 70. A bill was
passed allowing the bridging of the
Missouri river at Kansas City.

Let the South help Itself.

Perhaps il is necessary TO their
peace of mind that the newspapers
should all take a fling at the Chicago
packers. One derives sense OF vir-
tue from the act OF hurting anathema
at the wicked. The Pharisees OF old
used to have a great time at that
game, and their modern imitators
are not thinning out with time.
It seems in order to say, however,.
that at least Southern towns, cities,
and communities have no right TO
complain. II at any time they have
suffered, either in their stomachs or
their pockets, because of the high
price or the unwholesome character
Of Chicago meat products, they have
only themselves TO blame. There has
never been the smallest reason why
they should not feed themselves from
their own herds, fiocks, fields, dair-
les, and barnyards. The South is
rich in farming and grazing lands,
and the inhabitants thereof can raise
beef cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry and
vegetables of the very finest quality
and in unlimited quantity if they
choose. Why need they go to Chica-
go, Kansas City, Omaha, or any other
distant market for food which they
can produce themselves? And if
they persist in q policy so unneces-
sary and so improvident, they might
have the grace TO realize that it is
their fault, and refrain from con-
dennation of others. The pastures
of the South can turn out as good
beef and mutton as the stockyards of
Chicago can. Southern farms are
capable of furnishing as high class
butter, milk, eggs, etc. as any farms
in Iowa or Kansas. Why, then, do
not the Southern people help them
selves instead Of calling upon Her.

We do not pretend to pronounce
upon the truth, Or lack of truth, in
all these nauseous denunciations of
the packing houses. We are quite
sure, however, that the Southern
people would be in much better bust
ness TO set about the task of caring
for themselves. 1t is not at all neces-
sary for them to be dependent on
imported food Of any kind. When
they bewail the hardships inflicted

Black Root or Cotton Wilt.

Many complaints are already
reaching us concerning the ravage
of this disease, which is yearly prov
ing disastrous in our sandy sections
and which is destined to increase its
ravage from year to year, unless in
telligent methods are adopted to stay
it. The cotton affected begins to
wilt Or die, without any apparent
cause; but if you pull up a stalk
and cut into the root Or stem, you
will see it has tegun to grow black,
and hence the name of black root.
It is caused by fungus that is in
the soil and which attacks the roots
and cheeks or destroys the flow OF
sap to the top of the plant. There
are two remedies. The first and most
effective lies in rotation of crops.
We have been planting cotton con-
tinuously too long on our lands.
Fields affected with this disease
should be planted next year in corn
plant in cow-peas, as this disease also
feeds upon the cowpea, and will sur
vive in the soil. But if planted in
corn, wheat, oats or velvet beans the
fungus will perish out more or less
completely for lack Of food. 1t has
also been found beneficial to plant
cotton on such lands late, not earlier
than the first OF May. The second
