self up to believe that this pest would
ever do much damage elsewhere than
in Texas, and possibly the Delta but
am now convinced that within two
years at most, it will have come down
on us with all the swift and terrible
damage that has characterized its ar
rival in all other sections.
l have read all bulletins issued by
the Department at Washington and
also those, of the louisiana State Crop
Pest Commission, bearing on the boil

and experiments for the destruction of
the pest, which for the most part can
hardly be termed as practical, especial
ly by farmers of this section.
For instance, there has not been dis.
covered any poison that will kill this
weevil, but that will also kill the cot |
ton plant. About the only plan offered |
that in the least reduces the damages
is that of clean, rapid cultivation, to-
gether with the cotton planted in wide
rows and good distance in drill, as it
is found that the hot sun serves to
essen their chance of propagation.
So you see any one at all informed

Lumberton, Miss, September &c.
On the eve of the meeting of the cir
cult court, the city hall has been
busy place. A number of impor.an
cases came up for adjustment, among
them the case of S. E. Slade, cit,
marshal VS.. Messrs Draper, Wilcox
Wilson Mcnamara and others, for in
juiies received while performing hii
duties in carrying the negro, Payne
who attempted criminal assault upor
a little Italian girl, to the county Jail
The young men were tried in justice
WIltman's court, before a jury and
found not guilty. =
Later in the day, Saturday notice
was passed around to the severul
lunch counter men of the town that il
might be to their interest to appear
before Justice Waltman's cm,r- aud
pleaG in case of selling 'near.Deer'
and OIL or similar stuff. The several
gentlemen came over and some plead
and some did not, but found excuse to
visit other parts on Monday.
In view of the cases of Mr.. Brown, of
Hattiesburg, and his assistant who
paid fines for selling Mead, it is under
stood by the officers of this commu-
nifty that a rigid enforcement of law
will be demanded and that all of the
drinks of the near beer type will be en-
tirely excluded.
Many who would have been valuable
witnesses before the grand jury. have
removed temporarily, to unknown
parts and will doubtless show up after
the adjournment of court.
Monday evening was set for the trial
of certain parties who had hand in
the gambling scheme, in the pool room,
Saturday night. AS stated to your cor
respondent, by Mr.. C. NJ, Kelly, the
policeman who raided then lace, those
engaged in gambling were fined and
the license of thep roprietor revoked.
A considerable number of Lumber
ton citizens are attending circuit court,
some interestedly and some other
wise.
The farmers are rapidly gathering
the remainder of the cotton crop. Much
of the splendid weed is without fruit,
and in a very short time, the crop
of this season will be a thing of the
past The weather is fine and what
there is, will be well cared for. with
prospects of the best price being paid |
for the staple.

of this section, where there are only
small farms and so much stump and
brushy lands, would be greatly handi-
capped in keeping this pest down, even
by the best approved plan so far dis
covered, mentioned above.
Now, wish to state that 1 am no
alarmist, and am much more an op-
timist than anything else, yet when
am confronted with facts which prove
the approach of any event, l set at
once to work to adjust conditions so
as to meet the requirements of the
coming change.
In this manner, and no other. can
we hope to minimize disastrous re-
suits. Therefore, 1 feel it your duty
as an editor to keep this important
matter before the people that they will
see the Importance of making changes
in their crops before it is too late, in
stead of waiting until they have prac-
tically lost an entire crop and the fruit
of years toll.
I wish to say that within the past
two weeks, have travelled over all
the territory from Vicksburg to Shrev-
port, La, where the boll-weevil is in
full swing for the first time, and
wish that it were possible for every
farmer in our section to view the great
damage that this pest has done
throughout this fertile section of
North Louisiana.
If so, l then know that they would
bestir themselves before it is too late
and the weevil is upon them. as was
the case with the people over in Louis
lana.
l would suggest that our farmers d.
vide their acreage next year and plant
but little cotton and more truck for
market.

the natural gardening section of the
South, and the biggest mistake we.
make, is in not planting vegetables
in sufficient quantities to attract buy.
ers to our section, just as they are
attracted to all sections where large
quantities are grown for shipment.
If course buyers will never come to
us for truck as long as we simply
grow in small lots, but it is certainly
reasonable to suppose that buyers will
come to us when it is an undisputable
fact that they go to every point in the
United States where fruits and vege-
tables are grown extensively.
To further illustrate the above facts
and statements that we only need to
grow extensively of vegetables to be
able to sell on track, I cite the fact
that buyers come here for lumber, tur-
pentine, wool and all other products
hat we offer in large quantities. while
hey do not go to trucking sections for

There was no such thing as a
wet and "dry" fight in the sher-
1T contest in Barber county, Gov.
Hoch to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. Both the men whose names
were before the governor were init
mate friends of the late Sheriff Nc
Cracker, both worked with him in
an official capacity and both were
committed to the policy of the Nc
Cracker administration and stood
for law enforcement as the present
official conduct of each of them
demonstrates. There wasn't a
scratch of a pen before the Gov
ernor to indicate that either of the
candidates stood against law en-
forcement-neither candidate had
a monopoly of dry supporters, both
had liberal quantity who held
like views on this proposition.
There was no excuse for sending
such report GU, of the Governor S
office and the people of Barber
county resent it.

1t is freely charged in republican
circles that the administration is
using the federal patronage to ad-
vance the interests of Mr.. Taft.
For instance, the NewYork Even
ing Post says: at is somewhat
unhappy coincidence that, on the
very day when the Oklahoma con-
vention declared for Taft, the SEN
ate should have refused to confirm
the nomination of Grant Victor to
be United States marshal for the
eastern district of Oklahoma. The
ground alleged was that the office
had been promised to Victor to in
duce him to drop Fairbanks and go
for Taft. The mans actual con-
versation was quoted; he was poor:
he needed the money: I've been
offered the marshalship by Hitch
cock, and the place pays we'll Of
course, such things have been done
before. For certain senators to
stand aghast at this unblushing use
OF federal patronage, is a little too
ridiculous. They have done the
same thing, and would do it again.
But the sorrowful part of the ex-
posure of this particular employ
ment of the spoils system is that it
Is in conflict with the presidents
strong assertion in his letter to Mr..
Foulke. He denied with indigna-
tion the charge that appointments
had been made or promised in or.
der to secure delegates for Taft.
Here is seemingly clear case oft.
1t only shows how easy it is for Mr..
Roosevelt to be imposed upon. The
least ne can now do is to send Mr..
Hitchcock sharp rebuke for max
ing the president appear to say one
thing and do another"

Tom Watson is again the candi-

for what it now stands. The plat
