TO ABOLISH
 COUNTY EXAMINERS

The house committee on educa- tion gave a lengthy hearing last night to the merits of the Hamiter- Jackson bill which creates the of flee of county superintendent in each county in the state as supplanting the office of county examier, says the Little Rock Gazette. Under the bill the county examiner is to re- ceive salary equal to the salary of the county judge, but not in any instance to exceed $1,200 per an mum, and is to devote all of his time to educational work. The duties as now outlined where there are county superintendents are to be added to under the bill by mak- i1g the superintendent an examiner as to the qualification of teachers. Several minor amendments were discussed which will probably be incorporated in the report of the committee when that is completed. the most important of which is that the salary of the county super intendent is no county shall be less than $500 per annum.

COL. STERRETT AND THE
 GREEN BUG.

According to the Washington one of the best-known professional farmers of Texas, has discovered a green buy of fearsome mien and in- satiable appetite that has ravaged the wheat fields of the Lone Star State and is now marching in serried ranks upon the growing crops of Oklahoma and the Indian Territory 1t was Col. Sterett's discerning eye that first diagnosed the blight that befell the cotton crop of Texas a few years ago. He caught the pestiferous boil weevil in the act of devouring whole cotton field, and his loud outcry set the entire machinery of the federal govern ment to work to check the wealth. destroying devilment oS this in- satiable monster Congress was flooded with bills making appropria- tions for the destruction of the boil weevil. Secretary Wilson employed every resource of his department in the work to no avail The boil weevil continued to multiply and grow fat upon the tender cotton bolls.
 Finally one of the department of agrlcultures crudite scientists per- celved that the Guatemalan ant was ruled by instincts that made him the natural enemy of the boil weevil. Forthwith the state of Texas swarmed with this Central American Hymenoptera, which dis t1nguished itself soon after arrival by burrowing deep into the ground and subsisting upon the roots of the cotton plant, while it's bete noir, the boil weevil, continued to roost high upon the topmost branches of the plant. In time, however, the boil weevil starved to death, because of the maehlnations of it's enemy at the base of its means of support. Thus the Guatemalan ant performed the work for which it was import- ed at heavy eXpenseb y paternal government, and Col. Sterett's re- nown in Texas spread from its cramped confines of the black, waxy belt to the uttermost limit of the Panhandle, on the north, and the mouth of the Rio Grande on the southwest
 After the Guatemalan ant had done it's perfect work, Texas next cotton crop was bumper, and again did the population rise and call Col. Sterett it's savior and prophet. If

the colonel did not scorn office there is no doubt whatever that the peo- pie would send him to congress, or that hi friend, the president of the United States, would make him postmaster of Dallas.
 But the green bug seems to have stumped Col. Sterett, quite. He ob- serves that following quickly upon his announcement of the ravaSes of the green bug in Texas and it's march toward Oklahoma and the h. dian Territory, "a weak Chicago market was turned into a strong one" The closing quotations the first day showed met gains of 3-4 to 7-Sc, while the extreme gain from the bottom price early in the session was 1 IA to 1 3Sc.' It appears that the colonel sent by mail to friends in Chicago live sam- ples of the green bugs, (Which upon arrival were still feeding upon the samples of growing wheat that ac- companied them" When this in- formation reached Oklahoma and the Indian Territory, growing wheat fields were plowed up to de- vote the land to other crops" So asseverates Col. Sterett, who be- lieves that the green bug is the off, spring of the Guatemalan ant. He is now demanding that Secretary Wilson shall accept this theory of the green bugs origin and import to Texas immediately the natural enemy of the gretn bug. lest the Chicago grain market go still higher.
