Turpentinlna the Boil Weevil

From Coushatta, La, comes news or the use of sachet bags in the cotton fields once infested with boil weevils. There are no boil weevils now where the scent bags had been applied be- tween cotton rows.
 The plan is simple, and if it proves effective the insect pest from Mexico has met his match. A sack of oats is dipped in a solution of three parts of water and one of turpentine. This sack is then tied to the blow handles near the beam, and a mule and his driver does the rest. the scent thus spread in Coushatta has remained week, but the weevils departed at once and have not reappeared. One gallon of turpentine to every four acres was used.
 Turpentine is an Alabama product, and if the Coushatta remedy proves to be wholly efficient this state stands eady to welcome the pest with tur- pentined hands to a turpentined grave. No one can blame a boil weevil for disliking to dine amid the fumes of turpentine. It comes from the breezy plains of the wide west, and 1t does
 
 not propose to accept turpentine as a seasoning as it moves eastward Let us hope 1t will retrace< it's steps to the Rio Grande, where it can either drown it's sorrows in the flowing river or else it can return to the home of it's ancestors in Mexico. Either de- termination would be satisfactory In the southeast. In the meantime let Coushatta keep it's turpentined blows drumming. If anything, it should use more turpentine and less water. Ala bama is long on turpentine and short on breakfast waters.

Fairbanks a Wall Street Man

In this weeks issue of Golfers Weekly Fairbanks the lawyer Fair banks the speculator and Fairbanks the manipuator in railroads is shown to have been indivisible and insep- arable. As a reply to a biographical work entitled "The Life and Speeches of Charles Warren Fairbanks" the national weekly shows that as rail road lawyer he prosecuted striking union laborers and secured prison sen tences for them. In another case it is alleged he ignored for nine years the orders of the courts by using the money of a bankrupt road to pay in terest on bonds instead of paying em- ployes. He gave the latter receivers certificates, which were finally bought tors. The money to pay them then appeared, and they were redeemed. He manipulated railroad after rail- road until he had become a million are and then he decided to distribute $50,000 among the county politicians in order to gain seat in the Senate.
 Golfers will proceed to show that while Fairbanks was in the Senate of the United States he was still work ing for the interests of his railroad and Wall street clients. He put no statutes in the law books. He was not there for that purpose.
 Before the series of articles in Col Hers is completed Fairbanks will stand fully exposed. and only those who want a reactionary President will vote for him. Those who desire the facts in Fairbanks career will pur- chase the current numbers of Golfers Weekly, for in them can be found all essential particulars concerning the Indiana manipulator.

June's Furnace Report

Twelve more stacks were blown in last month, bringing the total number in operation up to 341, as against 329 in May. These stacks turned out last month 74,5S1 tons a day, but because the month had but thirty days the total production was 55,610 tons sti3rt of Mays production.
 In this district the Hattie Ensley furnce, belonging to the Sloss-Shefild company, was blown in last month, end we now have thirty-one stacks in operation. These stacks produced in June 132,2 tons of pig iron, as against d production in the district of 151 665 tons in May. Thes figures are those of the Iron Trade Review, and they are undoubtedly correct Hot weather ordinarily does reduce production in this district, and yet it is difficult to see why it should have any effect on blast furnaces or on the men who con duct them. The sun certainly can not add heat to a blast furnace
 While the production in this district was decreased seventeen furnaces in New York turned out 141043 tons i'll. June. Alabama is thus reduced to the second division-to fifth place. The race between Alabama and New York is close and exciting. We had the lead in May, and New York had it in June. It is our turn to poke our nose in front of New York in July, and we will probably do 1t.
 In view of the heavy production in the midsummer months it is surprising that the demand remains equal to the supply. While the pig iron market Is quiet, yet no seller is ready to make sny concessions in prices either of spot iron or of iron for future deliv- cry.
