THE MEXICAN BOIL WEEVIL.
The thorough humiliation of the boil
weevil which is destructive to the cot
ton boil has engaged the attention of
the greatest number of cotton growers,
bnt as pest enemies of the agriculturist,
the Mexican boil weevil may be viewed
Is blessing in disguise.
Its devastation in Texas and its
steady onward and seemingly irresist-
iblc advance has enlisted the co-opera-
ton Of the National Government in its
destruction II is a fact deplorable that
wherever the boil weevil has had full
sway, ruin has been experienced by the
farmers who have placed their reliance
in cotton.
The boil weevil has suggested di-
versi6eation OF products Of the farm, in
stead of the all-cotton mania, and with
the new methods Of cultivation, it IS
possible for the intelligent and active
growers OF cotton to secure a reason
able success from their efforts Through
the system Of demonstration farms con-
Quoted through the Agricultural De-
parinent Of the United States and sec

THE MARSTON MEETING.

The attendance at the Marston meet
ing held last night i'll the court
house was limited in number of the
friends and the admirers of the gentle
man, who has always been active in his
support of every movement suggested
for the bettermelt of local and general
conditions, especially in the promotion
OF the welfare of the tiilers of the soil,
who are the basis upon which is de-
pendent the progress OF commercial and
industrial enterprise.
By advertisements in newspapers and
by handbills, Captain Marston had cllal-
lenged the Cotton Seed Trust to de
bate the cotton seed question and had
promised to Hin it alive, but there was
no SHINING Is anticipated. as the Trust
failed to appear i'll person or by proxy.
Captain Marston was eager for the fray
and regretted, as did his friends, the
declination OF the Trust to accept the
challenge
1t is conceded that the defeat of the
Cotton Seed Trust, in the convention of
the Southern Cotton Association held
in Birmingham, Ala, is due to the de-
ternined efforts OF Captain Marston. AS
Captain Marston said i'll his talk to his
friends in the court house last night,
cotton seed is the right arm OF cotton,
and that as long as the Cotton Seed
Trust controlled that product little adj
vantage would be secured for cotton.
He predicted that never again would
cotton be rated at less than 10 cents,
and that through the organization which
is being perfected the cotton growers,
in time, would become masters of the
situation.
There is not in this State or through
ont the South man more loyal to the
SoutIl's best interest than Captain
Marston, who when aroused never stops
to inquire into the power or the infu-
ence Of the opposition. He stands for
the right and possesses the nerve to
maintain his convictions. Il is pity
there are not thousands of men in this
State and throughout the South of the
B. w Marston type.
While the meeting was limited in
number, the information derived was
interesting and valuable. However
Captain Marston gave assurance of his
return at an early day, when he would
hold meeting in the court house and
pack ii with his friends from the coun-
try.
The attendants eyinced their apprecia
ton of Captain Marstons speech with q
vote OF thanks BY rising to their feet
and then followed hearty llandshakes.
As the State Organizer Of the South
ern Cotton Association, Captain Mars
ton will soon have in full activity loca
organizations in every parish. town ane
village in the State.

young man, they may tell you about
gold mines and stock speculations but
there is nothing that beats work-plain,
old-fashioned work. You hear about
the men who grow rich by speculation
or by means of patent rights but you
never hear of those who fail in those
enterprises. Rarely does man win
by luck or accident. Thousands of
young men think it is not worth while
to try to get start by saving little
money every month, hence they fritter
away ten or fifteen years expecting
something to turn up, mysteriously, to
benefit their condition. Then they
discover that nothing turns up. Then
they begin to say What's the use it is
easy to drift into spirit of Don't
care From Don't care the move
ment downward is rapid. History does
not record failure upon the part of
any young man who admits to himself
at the beginning of life's battle that
nothing can beat working and saving.
Every fortune began in that way. The
time to save is when times are good and

Carne9ie's Mite.
JDcs MOines Capital }


Andrew Carnegie, lampooned by the
radical press as the enemy of progress,
the personification of corporate ag-
grandizement and the possessor of
tainted millions. has unburdened his
mind with reference to President
Roosevelt's attitude on the railroad
question. If we are to accept at par
the lurid portrayals of Mr.. Carnegie,
which have found favor with yellow
magazines and sensational journals,
approval of the president in exercising
his powers to restrain corporate greed
would become either a grotesque farce.
abounding in hypocrisy or an accom-
plished impossibility. 1t may be that
the former of these views may still
prevail in sanctums intolerant of wealth
in any form, after reading the follow
ing interview with Mr.. Carnegie, given
out in Washington one day last week.
Il indorse absolutely the presidents
attitude toward the railroads. He is
the best friend they have, and they
ought to realize 1t. The railroads had
better stand with him. If they do not
accept his moderate measures they may
be confronted by man in the White
House who will approach the question
of the railroads from an entirely diff
ferent standpoint. regard the presi-
dents influence as to the railroads
as wholesome and conservative
Roosevelt dubbed conservative by
Carnegie! Shades of our forebears!
Whittier are we tending? A ruder shock
could hardly be given the real" friends
of the president than this brutal utter
ance on the part of the Scotch IRON
master. If Carnegie had deliberately
set out to offend the sensiblities OF the
genuine friends of reform he could not
have made a better start. 1t remains
to be seen whether the president will
accept commendation from such a
source.
However, it may be that Mr.. Car
negie is IN position to know more of
the actual necessity for such regulation
hS lhe Iido aISSu tildh liIS
common mortals about him, even though
they be ensconced in editorial chairs
1t may be that the canny Scotchman is
not wholly debauched by his millions.
1t is just possible that he sees in the
presidents $ move not colossal blunder,
not wicked spite against the railroads,
but clear and well defined apprec ia
ton Of dangers hidden behind the cur
tain which enshrouds the future. 1t is
not unlikely that Mr.. Carnegie sympa-
thizes with Mr.. Roosevelt's belief that
if it is not federal supervision it will be
government ownership. and as to the
merits of the latter proposition both
men hold identical views.
But this is speculative. The impor-
tant thing to remember is that Car
negie, as a we'll authenticated emissary
of the money devil. has morched into
the public prints in defense of the man
who is fighting the battles of the com
mon people.
