AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT

Anything In the nature OF a chem.

very practical way: Get a Bit OF White
Lead about the size OF a pea. a piece
Of charcoal a common candle In a
~cahdlestick. and a blow pipe. Scoop
out q little hollow IN the charcoal TO
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead IA

other. with the large end Of the blow
pipe between the Ups blow the flame
Of the candle steadily against the bit
Of White Lead on the charcoal and II
the White Lead Is pure Il will pres
entity resolve itself into little shining
globules Of metallic lead, under the
Intense heat OF the b~low-pipe, leaving
no residue.
II, however, the White Lead is adul-
terated In the slightest degree, 1t will
o wholly change into lead. SO, It
win be seen. that this experiment Is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration. but also OF practical
use in the home. White Lead is the
most important ingredient Of paint.
Il should be bought pure and unadul-
terated and mixed with pure llnseed
oil, That IS the best paint. The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint Is the
kind which will wear or not

The Boil WeeyiI Situation.

The boil weevil reached Wiikin-
son county last year and some
damage was done along the river
front. As was only to be expect
ed, the weevils have appeared
this season on a number of planta-
tions in the western part of the
county, and from the information
we can gather are now infesting
the following plantations: The
Loeb Dale and Loch LeVen places,
owned by Koonts, Fleming and
Baldwin, are infested and great
damage is resulting. Captain
Gillespie, who has charge Of these
places, is having the squares pick
ed and burned. On Mill Brook
plantation the weevils are spread
ing, and have appeared on LOCUST
Hill, owned by Mr.. Arbuthnot.
Two of Mr.. w. L. Inman's places
are infested and an adjoining place
worked by negro, Jordan Du-
pre-, great damage is being done.
The weeyils are also reported at
Morning Glory, and Mr.. II. H..
Hays has them on his place.
There is no doubt that they are
to be found on Mr.. Ferguson's
place and many others in that sec
tion. Most Of these farmers real
ize the danger and are taking the
necessary precaution to have the
squares picked up and burned,
which will greatly retard the
spread of the weeyll. From this
| it will be seen that the cotton

over the county and by next sea.

NEYLAND AND HARRY.


A few months ago the jackson
News made a peremptory call on
|Supt. NeyIand, Of the State Peni-
tentiary farms, to hand in his re-
signation and step down and out,
because, according to the News
sensational fancy, the good Of the
PenitentIary management urgent
IL demanded the Superintendent's
official head. Supt. Neylands
rightly treated the News impu-
dent demand with contempt and
went on about his official business.
Now Col. Montgomery, one of the
Penitentiary trustees. who started
the big stir against Neylands last
winter, is quoted as saying the
Superintendent has the best crop
and prospects on the big Sunfiow-
er farm on record, and everything
lis moving on swimmingly in Pen
itentiary affairs.
For few weeks past the News
has been calling Yociferously, in
its usual sensational style, for the
resignation of President Hardy,
of the A. and M. College and de-
manding, after throwing all the
mud on him it possibly could, that
he step down and out for the good
of that institution. If President
Hardy is tho man The Leader
takes him to be. like Neylands,
be will treat these demands for his
resignation with the silent con-
tempt they deserve, and, for the
future good Of the A. and M. as
well as what is due his own honor.
and self-respect, remain at his
pust and score a still higher
measure of success for the Col
lege than ever before.
