grove Immediately adjoins an infested
grove profitable fumigation can be pracI
ticed In some cases as previously stated
In most such cases cooperation can be
secured between the owners Of adjoining
groves or Of groves in naturally isolated
groups. Such groups have all the advan-
tages Of single isolated groves II the
owners work together in the control OF
the white Ty. In many cases grove
would be we'll isolated II II were not for
few scattering citrus trees frequently
Of little or no value. The owrer OF a
grove who desires to fumigate in such a
case could do much to increase the value
Of his work by fumigating such trees at
his own expense or by arranging for
their destruction. Owners of productive
citrus groves located in towns should be
protected dy ordinances requiring abau-
doned or useless citrus trees to be de-
stroyed and the owners of chinaberry
trees shotld be required to destroy them
or else, II preferrdd, these trees should
be rendered innocuous to the interests
of neigbbors by fumigating all citrus
trees within 100 yards in all directions.
Privets and cape jessamines should be
destroyed, or at least defoliated each
winter. These measures would prevent
the uross infertation of chinaberry trees
which Is chiefly responsible for the
countless millions of adult flies which
literally fill the air of many Florida
towns and cities in midsummer.
The Investigations of the Bureau of
Entomology cover all phases of the sub
ject of white fly control and the work to
date leads to the conclusion that for the
present by far the most economical and
satisfactory method of dealing with the
pest is fumigation. With comparatively
few exceptions growers can take advant-
age of thif method without rcgare to the
methods employed by others when the
grove is isolated by a few hundred feet,
but when necessary unfayorable sur
roundings may be eliminated through
cooperation through the fumigation Of
trees on neighboring premises and
through securing city ordinances or rules
by properly authorized county commits
sioners providing protection from the
menace OF chinaberry trees, cape jessa-
mines, l.rivets and useless and aban-
doned citrus trees. "A. w. Morrill,, Or

whisky Ads ana the Country EDITOR

The editor Of the Pensacola Evening
News in the issue OF the 14th takes his
text from an article in the DeFuuiak
Herald on "Whiskey Advertising and
proceeds to read us country editors" a
lecture on what he considers "a very
foolish policy" on our part / e. refusing
to run whiskey advertising.
We glory in the spunk of the country
editor" who returns the check Of the
liquor dealer, 1t takes little moral
courage to return fifty dollar check
sent as cash in advance payment for an
ad when you do not know where the
next weeks payroll Is coming from.
But we have seen this done by a Florida
country editor. =
Extreme Stiffness" Is another solar
plexus blow Bro Crawford aims at us
for sticking to this policy. If an answer
was necessary to this red hot accusation
all we should say would be merely to re-
mind him that great many of the lead
ing magazines and periodicals of the day,
in fact the majority of them, do not ac-
cept whiskey advertising at any price.
II these publications, taking place as
they do at the very top Of the list in the
world OF current literature are worth any
thing as criterions, even to be followed
afar off, the country editor might plead
The same motives that actuate the larger
publisher.
But it is not that altogether that causes
The country editor to refuse whiskey
advertising. He does it because his con-
science tells him he should allow no
agency under his direct control to assist
n the sale Of Intoxicating liquors any
more than he would give his personal
Ittention to the business. Neither will
iis sense of propriety allow him to place
'eforc his readers from week TO week
Of traffic that they have
oted from their community.
Bro. Crawford drops into the merest
ophistry when he says that we might as |
yell carry the advertising because the
nan in the dry town is going to order
ust as much and just as often whether |
Re carry the advertising or not. That Is
per Sc contradiction Of the value OF adj
ertising and we hardly thought news

HARRY K. THAW
 MAKES STATEMENT

Poughkeepsie, August 9-From his cell in the county jail here, Harry K. Thaw tonight gave out the following statement concerning the clajms filed against him by various lawyers, which, he asserts, forced him into bankruptcy:
 'In this mornings papers I read that MT. O'Reilly makes a claim for more money. That is matter for former Governor Stone, my counsel in Pittsburg to take charge of. There seems no req son for me to discuss the different claims and therefore I have nothing more to say except regarding one fact.
 "The sums already expended and the names of the lawyers and others to whom I paid the money were clearly stated in the newspapers. There is only this much to add: Besides the heavy total of about $417 500 that I have paid out myself, my mother paid our family physician and gave about SAT 800 additional to MT. Hart ridge, making s105,OO0 received by his firm prior to April 16, 1907.
 My mother also made a present of $25,000 to MT. Delmas. This made, with his actual fee, paid by me, s50,OOO in all that he received for his able services MT. Delmas' bill for expenses was less than 5000 and is included in the $2O,15O item for detectives and sundries."

NINE SAILORS
 PERISH IN SEA
Fishing Schooner Maggie and May Is Run Down By the German
 Schooner Freya.

Halifax N. S., August 9.-The Glouces- ter fishing schooner Maggie and May was run down by the German schooner ship Freya, 60 miles off Halifax harbor last night and nine of her crew perished. The Freya arrived here today with four sur- vivors from the schooner on board.
 The schooner Maggie and May carried a crew of 19 men. She was of SS net tonnage and was owned by D. Dennis of Gloucester.
 Captain Brick McCathorn of the Mag gie and May was among those who per- ished. The eight others were sailors.
 The schoolship was going about eight knots at the time of the accident. The steel brow of the Freya crashed into the side of the fishing vessel, cutting her al- most in two.
 It is believed that many of the fisher men were instantly killed in their hunks, as few were seen struggling in the water after the collision
 The schoolship remained in the vicinity of the collision until this morning, then headed for Halifax, where she arrived this morning.
 The Freya was not damaged.

 TO THE EMPLOYES

 A central committee was appointed to wage an extensive campaign of educa- tion," and all railroad men of the United States will be enlisted in the fight
 The circular sent out ends as follows, the one quoted being from the Illinois Central:
 Tt is earnestly hoped you will give this question serious consideration. and let the general public understand that you are large part of the public, and that the things affecting the, railroads also affect you as an employe. Remember that you have your brains and muscle invested in the Illinois Central railway, and that you go to the pay car each month and draw out your dividends In proportion to the extent that the company prospers."
