Poison for Boil Weevils.

Capt. B. Nv. Marston, who is a
member of the Boil Weevil Com
mission, has from the first contend
ed that the boil weevils can be
poisoned. He has conducted a
number of experiments in the mat
ter for the last two years, and in
spite of the opposition of his as
socrates still adheres to his plan.
The Captain perhaps knows more
about cotton than all the other
members put together, and for our
part we believe he knows what he
is talking about. We remember
some twenty years ago when he in
vented the plan of sitting Paris
green through Lowells and Osna-
bergs on cotton worms, some ed
itors and other smart people ridi-
culed the idea of using such heavy
cloth to sift the poison. Yet the
thing succeeded, and now every
body knows that is the only sensi-
BILE way to apply the poison, and
the inventor never got any credit
for his benefit to the cotton grow
ers. So, for our part, we are bet
ting on the Captain against the
field. Here is his letter on the
subject:
East Point, La, Sept. 3, 1906.
Editor Shreveport Journal:
/ note in your paper an inter.
view with Mr.. P. P. Keith, giving
an account of the destruction of the
cotton at his place. This reminds
me of bet / have, viz: That Mr.
Keith and every gentleman who
visited my work at Keachie las
year, would in Eve years poison thu
boil weevil. These gentlemen con
demned my work at that time a.
mo good" Now, what are the re
suits? Their cotton is destroyed
by the boil weevrf. Every man il
this State and Texas who has re
ported the early poisoning of thu
weevil in May reports good results
/ poisoned q piece of young cotton
last week which had quit blooming
It now looks Ikea flower garden
Cotton, near it, of the same plant
ing, soil, etc., has not bloom in it
/ am only experimenting in tn
cotton, believing it is too late to d.
much good, but / only wish t.
prove that the weevil can be sue
cessfully poisoned. Another year
if there is mild winter, all m.
cotton will be poisoned in May.
lem sorry for Mr.. Keith an
others like him, but he can't sa
he was not forewarned. Just as
burnt child dreds FIRE, 30 will o.
people who have gone up agains
the weevil. without poisoning i
dread it. For one, / know it ca
be whipped, for I have seen it don
too often to be deceived.
Yours truly, B. w. MARsToN.

to go unprovided. The thinking man

Hendersenville, N. c., Aug. "a, 1906.
My dear Sir:
I write to request your presence at q
meeting of the Henderson County Dem
ocratic Executive Committee On Mon
day, September 8, 1906, over Brooks q
Williams store, in this city. This Will
be the most important conference our
party has held for many years, and you
are urged to be present by 10 O'CLOCK
A. M, or as o o thereafter as possible,
on date named above.
If there ever was q time in the history
of the democratic party OF Henderson
County for the manifestation of loyalty
and patriotism on the part Of its mem
bers, it is right now. The financial af-
fairs of our county are in an alarming
condition and growing worse all the
time. The people are greaning under
the excessive tax levy of the present ad-
ministration, and are looking to u
party for relief. The courthouse ring
appears to be on its last legs and is
struggling for a further existence. But
numbers of independent Republicans
declare they will revolt this year and
Join with US in an endeavOr to dethrone
The political leeches now in charge OF
the peoples business and who have
shown their utter Incompetence to con-
duct the same
We want to go I'VE the situation
fully at the meeting on September Ord,
and I will thank you for q complete re-
view of conditions in your precinct.
Kindly make a record of the m OF
Republicans who are dissatisfied with
their ring ticket and the record OF the
bosses in this county. and report to the
committee. y X y = r In q word,
be able to answer any question regard
ing political affairs in your immediate
neighborhood.
There is every encouragement Tor the
Democrats in our county to put forth a
strong ticket this year. The people
are thoroughly aroused and seem de-
termined upon the overthrow OF official
pets and a return to former conditions
under Democratic commissioners. Let
US seize the opportunity to make a
great and glorious fight for the right.
This letter is personal to you, and L
hope to see you here early on b morn
ing of September 3rd. Say nothing
about it, but come.

Trust to Nature.

A great many Americans, both men
and women, are thin, pale and puny, with
poor circulation, because they have ill-
treated their stomachS by hasty eating
or too much eating, by consuming alco-
holic beverages, or by too close conflne-
ment to home, office or factory, and in
consequence the stomach must be treated
in a natural way before they can rectify
their earlier mistakes. The muscles IN

work with great difficulty. AS q result

long. The demand for nutritfve aid is
ahead of the supply. To insure perfect
muscle should take from the blood GER

others. 1t is necessary to prepare the
stomach for b work of taking up from
the food what is necessary to make good,

DE OCRATIC A D. BOOK.
Sept. TO-, 1905.

The democratic-hand-book is
out and shows an excellent record
for the party in the state. Every
department of the state govern
ment is treated upon and every
changed Of extravaganza made by
the opposition is fully answered
and the utter falsity of the same
thoroughly set forth in detail.
1t is the best possible argument
for continuing the democrats in
power Not a single scandal at
taches to the democratic admin
istration, while all sorts of things
were rife during experimentation
times.
A most searching investigation
of every department. has recently
been made, with absolutely graft
flying results. In short, this book
is the best campaign document
ever issued in the state and shows
the actual condition of affairs.
Should a copy fall into your hands
read every page and then pass it
on to your neighbor. The num-
Der is not sufficient for every dem
ocrat to receive one. Especial at
