many industries that would be posi- lively stimulated by gaining cheaper raw materials and wider markets un- der adequate tariff legislation. The business outlook is slowly but surely improving, and the main difficulty with the stock market is that it has dis counted such improvement probably too far in advance, hence it is now trying to resist the natural reaction ary tendencies. Fridays outburst of strength was one of those displays which may be expected at almost any time while the market remains so completely in control of powerful ma nipulators.

THE INSPECTOR OF
POSTOffICf SITES
Was IN Greenwood last Week Look
lng at Property Offered.

Mr.. Julian Morton, a representative
OF the Treasury Department at Washing
ton, spent few days in Greenwood
last week, inspecting the different lots
offered as a site for the government
postoillce building In this city.
Mr.. Morton interviewed number OF
our representative citizens while here,
and carefully examined the different
proposed locations.
While Mr.. Morton will recommend to
the Department location for the post
Office building here he could not give
the public his d, cision at this time.
But within the next sixty days the title
to the property recommended will be
investigated thoroughly and the trade
for 1t closed.
Mr.. Morton stated while here that 10
would be about eighteen months after
purchase OF the site before work on the
building would begin, inssmuch as the
Department is very much behind with
its contracts for the construction of
public buildings.

HAD LITTLE EFFEoT.
New Orleans, Oct. 26.-Despite the
fact that the amount of cotton ginned
is the largest on the record for the same
period, with the exception Of one year,
the report had very little effect on the
market. ...
Futures sagged about six points after
the report was made public, but several
Of the months regained their losses be-
fore the noon hour. However, the
market is regarded as a selling affair,
and shows but little strength. The
large ginning report was anticipated
because of the fine open weather that
has generally prevailed in the cotton
belt.

GREENWOOD zFLoRE MISSISSIPPI MORNING. OCT 80 1908
TO GET RID OF
THE BOIL Wtfy|l
best Way to txtermlnate II Is to Burn
Cotton Stalks In Fall.

Now that the boil weevil has crossed
the Mississippi river and has appeared
in force in several counties Of this State
it is we'll for our people to begin to
look the matter squarely in the face, for
1T is only short time when the weeyil
will extend over the cotton section.
in this connection the following extract
is published from the bulletin OF DIR, W.
u. Hunter, who has charge Of the boil
weevil work in the Southern States.
Under the heading "The most important
step to control the boil weevil," DR.,
Hunter says:
Having studied and tested the
methods Of weevil control which have
been hitherto recommended, the writer
firmly believes that the destruction of
stalks in early fall is the most effective
method known Of actually reducing the
numbers of the pest This destruction
will cost but small fraction of the ex-
pense necessary in the front picking up
in the spring Of the squares infested by
the hibernated weevils, and is far more
thorough as means of reducing the
numbers of the weevil than is the prac-
tice of picking hibernated weevils from
the young plants. Early destruction OF
the stalks is essential to the greatest
success of any system OF controlling the
pest. All other practices recommended,
although very valuable In securing
crop, are of the greatest value as they
are followed in connection with this one
prime essential. Since the earliest in
vestigations of the boil weevil made by
this department it has been recognized |
and pointed out by DR.. L. o. Howard |
that this practice is Of the first impor-
tance, and the experience of recent
years has added but certainty to this
A number Of planters have
adopted it, and their work and the large
scale work by the bureau Of entomology
have abundantly demonstrated its effec.
tivenesa. 1t must not be thought that
The procuring Of the immediate crop is
he only thing to be desired. Early and
complete destruction of the stalks is
undoubtedly the most important single
,lement insuring success for the sub
'equent year.
Concerted action in fall destruction
s, of course, desirable. The greatest
benefit will result only when whole
communities adopt the method. But no
PLANTER should hesitate on account of
he Indifference of his neighbors. The
act that weevils move about but little
lnti the time when the bulk of the
.rop is safe, will assist materially in
aving one field though nearby ones
ave not been properly treated, and
wen under such circumstances the sue
ess of the method in one field will be a
'owerful stimulus toward its general
doption the following season."

It does seem that women have more
than fair share OF the aches and pains
that afflict humanity; they must "keep
up" must attend to duties in spite ol
constantly aching backs, or headaches
dizzy spells, bearing-down pains; they
must stoop over, when to stoop means
torture. They must walk and bend and
work with racking pains and many
aches from kidney ills. Kidneys cause
more suffering than any other organ OF
the body. Keep the kidneys we'll and
health is easily maintained. Read of q
remedy for kidneys only that helps and
cures the kidneys and is endorsed by
