THE BOIL WEEvIL.
Not So rIuch to Be Dreaded After

Not SO rIuch to Be Dreaded After
All.
The following letter to Mr.. ]. M.
Taylor is rather encouraging. The
weevil has been in that section of
Texas for four years. The second
and third years it did much dam
age, but it will be seen that very
litrle was done during the fourth
year.
Troupe, Texas, Dec. Fl, 1907.
Dear Friend Taylor
In reply to your letter of Dec.
Ath in reference to the cotton crop
in this part of the country ] have
to say that the weevil did not do a
great deal of damage in our section,
though our crop was short owing
more to other things than to the
weevil. The weevil was here for
something like two weeks and did
IA little destruction during that
! time, but during the dry hot wealth
er the damage wrought by him was
very little. The weevil seems to
thrive best during wet or damp
weather during July and Aug
ust. He cannot stand the summer
or the hot weather and as we had
considerable warm weather and
plenty of sunshine during those
two months his work was not very
much. Ny advice to the Mississip-
pi farmer is to plant early varieties
. IN exceptionally wide rows, plough
. often and it is my opinion that the
. weevil will not hurt you near SC
+ badly as you anticipate.
Il Your truly,
M. M. Dupre.

ment so pure, so refined, so ele-
vated, so ennobling, that ourselves
shall appear to them its embody-
ment. What man in Port Gibson,
or our county, thinking right. can
wish otherwise? 3rd.. The Sheriff
of Claiborne County and the Mar
shall of our town are not reflected
on. They are all that any COM
munity can desire-active, true,
vigilant and fearless. They and
no other officer can do what is now
agitating every section of the
South. That is so use the law un-
aide as to effect moral reformation,
break down miscegenation, stem
the tide of vice which is sweeping
down homes, children. and destroy
ing purity of living 1t requires
strong, healthy, unbending public
sentiment. That is what must be
aroused and brought into ceaseless
play. The press of the South, the
pulpit, the mothers. the true men
and determined never quieted anti
miscegenation organizations must
work together to common end.
I'VE must put behind our officers
such an influence as will enable
them to call into effect the law, if
the voice of an aroused public
opinion fails of its purpose. 4th.
Such agitation does not injure the
schools located here. Let the
world about rs know that morality
is the basis of Our movement,
backed by a sentiment that intends
to see that there is no breach of it,
and every mother or father that
has boy or girl to send away from
home for an education, will crowd
their children here. Already some
noble mothers in our town and in
other places have said Give us
a community that fears God, seeks
to keep the moral law, and furnish
es clean lives for our children's i'm
itation, while it drives from their
hearing vulgar, obscene language. "
Such community is where we
can trust our boys and girls. Such
a community puts about them the
influence that we desire to be
around them, may we'll be added.
The Governors of Mississippi and
Louisiana have published procla-
nations calling attention to that
class of vagrants which come un-
der the head of the vile class. In
our cities splendid men OF God are
speaking out. In our towns Ill
vigorous, but loving, kindly words,
our great ministry are raising their
powerful voices. The wave is
mounting. 1t will soon become
tidal. The time for reformation
is going to be given. The reform
alton must and will come. Men Of
) white blood cannot and will not
try to put obstacles in the way Il
they do, so sure as these lines are
5 written, the rising tide will SWEEP
: over them.

Barbizon.

There are many visitors to Barbizon
today: the wretched little trolley line
that jerks you out from the lest stu
ton Of the French railways pottcrs
about through the meadows and enters
the narrow. Barbizon street with much
eommotion and apparent reluctance.
And this narrow pathway is the main
street of the village, on which you find
the studios of the great Frenchmen who
have studied and painted there. Diaz's
studio is picturesque to a degree, it has
a porch and vines, and you pass in
succession the working places of Rous-
seau, Daubigny and others of the Barbi-
zon school who studied quietly and
peacefully in this beautiful remote part
of France-that is remote so far as the
usual occupations of life are concerned
and remote because difficult 20 reach.
Almost at the end of the jerking little
railway you come to the present Millet
house and lovely old studio. 4 step be-
yond this the trolley stops and you walk
out to the forests Of Fontainebleau and
rest there and regret all the sadness Of
Millets life and tho tragedy of his early
death, and marvel little at the Ameri.
can woman who was in the Millet gar
den as you passed the house which was
seved for Francois, her husband, how
she lives there, quite alone with all the
mournful memories that are hers, fol
lowing after probably very gay Ameri-
can girlhoOd. They say that she is al
ways in the garden when the trolley runs
through the little village. looking for
familiar faces, or even American faces,
to speak to and to invite into the shade Of
her porch for a cup Of tea in exchange
