BOIL WEEVIL A BLESSING IN
DISGUISE.

Homer Guardian Journal There are
people who believe that the advent OF
the boil weevil will ultimately prove
good thing for the country and who re-
gard the little insect as blessing in
disguise. We hope they are right. 1t
is argued that the boil weevil will bring
about readjustment of labor condi
tons; will break up the all cotton sys-
tenn and substitute diversified farming,
truck and fruit growing. This argu-
me ut may be sound We hope it is but
the change and readjustment will prob
ably pinch to some extent for few
years. 1t is time we were all preparing

CONGRESSMAN WATKINS.

An interesting letter from Judge Wat

by tillers of the soil, who woul derive
profit from the demonstration.
The experience of other sections with
the boil weevil would suggest a diver
sity of products besides cotton, which
are adapted to the soil. 1t is not pos
sble to estimate the advantages which

application of these demonstrations. We

FOR LIEUTENANT
GOVERNOR

There are now three contestants i'll
the field political for Lieutenant Gov
ernor, two of the FIVE announced having
retired. Of these two, State Senator
Babfngton Of Washington has conclud
ed to give way to his colleague i'll the
State Senate, Mr.. Lambremont of St.
James The singularity of Mr.. Bah
bingtOn's retirement is that he urges his
friends to support Mr. Lambremont, as
though he held them in his exclusive
possession and control. Fortunately the
friends of Mr.. Darlington will exercise
their Judgment as freemen and without
dictatIon Or suggestion as to who they
shall support for this or any Office with
in the gift of the people.
Of the retired is J. Sheldon Toomer
of Cakasieu, for personal reasons re-
served, which leaves in the field three as
pirants for Lieutenant Governor: Judge
Lawrason of West Felicana. Mr. Bailey
of North Louisiana, and Mr. Lambre-
mont of St, James.
As the nominations for this and other
offices will not be closed before Novem-
Der, and probably December, many 9TH
ers may be expected to enter the list
for the sacrifice.

| In the instance cited it is not the pri-

Council in fixing date within limits in
which it is impossible to comply with all
the requirements of the primary law.
Had the date of the election, ordered
by the city authorities to fill the vacap-
cies in the Council been fixed to be held
on August 10 Or 20, or even August f,
instead of July 80, there would have
been given time to carry out all the pro-
visions of the law applicable to special

ever, all that which can be done and
must be done legally has been provided,
without any impairment of the result of
the proposed nomination according to
the primary election, which. as is the
poll tax payment, requisite, is boon

against so-called nominating conven-
tons, and it is a check to fraudulent |
practices as have prevailed in the past.

centered the essence of Democracy. 1t |
is true the law is not perfect, but it is
