To Get Money At Once.

The State institutions will imme'
diately get the balance of their mo-
ney on the third-class warrants for
1908. The State Board of Liquija-
ton, at it's meeting, borrowed from
the other funds of the State $62, 900,
which will be used to pay in full the
third-class appropriations for 1908.
About $4,000 of these appropria-
tions have not been paid. .Probab-
ly about $4,000 will not have to
be paid, so the officials estimate that
the $4,000 borrowed will take care
of the deficit. Although the money
was only borrowed a few days ago,
State Treasurer Steele is busy max
ing out the checks and these will
be forwarded at once to the institu-
tions. The Charity Hospital in New
Orleans and the State Normal
School at Natchitaches will gel
among the largest checks.

This is the open season for boil

these new patented machines the
boil weevil has not been slain, and
continues to do business every sum-

The latest patent for destroying the
boil weevil has been gotten out by
r. P. Johnson of Jackson Parish,
who has a machine which he says
will destroy the pest. A patent for
the invention has been applied for.
The machinery is mounted on wheels
traverses the cotton rows, and has
three large suction pipes overreach-
ing the burrows. Through these
pipes the withered squares attacked
by the boil wevil and containing the
embryo weevils are conveyed into a
wire-screened receptacle. Collected
in this manner the squares are easily
destroyed by fire.

clared that there was. First, he
said, he was not guilty, and second,
he had not been given a fair trial.

Appraisers Complete Their Work.

The State Board of Appraisers has
completed its session at Baton Rouge,
and took final adjournment, after as
sessing the railroad, telephone and
telegraph companies for 1903. The
total increase in the assessments of
the public service corporations will
show an increase over last years to-
tai assessment of over $5,OOO,OOO.
This increase is a little larger than
was anticipated. The raise on the
railroads. s.ranged from 5000 to $4,000
a mile, the latter figure being the
raise that was applied to the New
Orleans and Northeastern which will
be assessed at $4,000 a mile. The
Southern Pacific was raised to $17,-
0000 a mile, the Illinois Central to
s16,50O, a mile, Texas and Pacific
and the Yazoo and Mississippi Val
ley $4,000 a mile, an increase OF ST.
600. The st. Louis, Iron Mountain &
Southern was assessed at S12,5OO.
The Pullman Palace Car Company,
which was looking for a reduction,
claiming that the $4,000 assess
ment on each sleeper was out of rea-
son, was given a further increase OF
s2,5OOO a car. The Cumberland Tel
ephone Company, represented by j.
C. Henriques, of New Orleans, drew
the prize in reduction, and had its
assessment reduced 100000 below
the figures of last year. The tele-
graph companies were assessed the
same as last year, and rolling stock
of railroads was not changed.

Confess to Arson.

What seemed to be puzzle to
the people of this parish, especially
those living in the vicinity of Belle
Rose, was solved when Jos. Simone-
aux, a native and lifelong resident
of that section and the father of a
large family, a carpenter by trade
confessed that he had set fire to the
store of U. A. Rousseau, which was
burned a week ago. There have
been several mysterious frees neal

and this confession has been
source of satisfaction to the goot

Jealous Huband Kills.

At a late hour in the afternoon
near a logging camp about four
miles from Bon Ami, Harrison Dean
shot and instantly killed John Aus
tin and Immediately gave up to the
officers. The two men, it is said, have
been on bad terms for some time
because Dean thought Austin had
been too attentive toward his wife.
Late in the evening Dean procured
shotgun at this place and upon
returning he met Austin near the
camp. When about ten feet away
it is said Dean said: Now whose
wife are you going to run of with!
Raising the gun he shot Austin twice
one load taking effect in the stomach
and the other in the face. Dean
was carried to Lake Charles and
placed in Jail.

May be Mustered Out.

Numerous changes in the Mis-
sissippi national guard are likely to
result from the report of Lieut..
Danforth, who is now about COM
pleting his inspection of all the To-
cal companies in the state. The re-
port has not yet been filed, nor will
it be for several days, but it is
learned that his companies at Louis
Vile and Canton and probably one
or two others be ordered mustered
out of service because of lack of in

Large Lumber Plant Starts Up.

The big mill at Rochelle owned by
the fremont Lumber Company has
started up after having been closed
down since June, 1908, during which
time 100000 has been spent in i'm
provements. and the plant Is now
one of the largest and most modern
in the world. All kinds of electri-
cal and steam appliances have been
added for the hendling of the enor-
nous output of lumber, and every
thing possible has been done to
make the town absolutely sanitary
and an ideal place to live. The Tre-
mont and Gulf Railroad has been
built to this point, giving Rochelle
two railroads, and it is thought the
fremont Company will establish its
shops and head Offices here.

In a recent issue of the The
Robesonian an account was pub
lished of a remarkable yield of
peaches from one tree and a few
days later a letter was received
from a man in another county
inquiring about that certain
peach tree. The interest in such
things is great and The Robe
sonian is always glad to give
prominence to items about special
yields of fruit or anything of
that kind. The man who knows
how to raise anything in better
quality and quantity than his
neighbor is worth more to his
county than it's best doctor or
lawyer-worth more to it than
any of it's citizens who are en-
gagged in other pursuits.

FARMERS INSTITUTES.

We desire to call special atten-
ton to the announcement of a |
farmers institute to be held in !
Lumberton Monday, August I'd.
Announcements will be made lat
er for other Institutes to be held
i'm this county. 1t is desired that
as many as possible attend these
Institutes and in order to get the
most out of them possible it is
suggested that all who attend go
prepared to take notes and pre-
serve for constant reference the
valuable suggestions and infor-
nation that will be given. The
State Department of Agriculture
will send out several parties to
engage in institute work this
summer. In regard to these in
stitutes Prof. T. B. Parker, di-
rector of the institute work,
writes:
THE several articles that have
been published in some of our
State papers within the past few
weeks calling attention to the
great drain made upon our State
for home supplies brought into
North Carolina from other States
should cause our farmers to stop
and consider if there is not a bet
ter way of farming than the one
which we are now following.
Several hundred thousand dollars
worth of corn, hay, meat, flour,
wheat and other farm products
brought annually into some of
our counties and most of it sold
to farmers is the strongest argu-
ment that can be made in favor
of a change of farming methods.
The Institutes are intended tc
correct this practice as much as
possible. The speakers will dis.
cuss diversifcation of crops, spe-
cial crops, rotation of crops, sol
improvement, fertilizers, stock
raising, dairying and other ques'
tons of vital interest to the
farmers of the State"
Commissioner of Agriculture
Graham says that the institute:
this summer are to- be the best ev
erlheld in the State and that thu
parties which will conduct then
have been admirably selected. 4
tobacco expert from Ohio who i:
widely known over the countr.
in that branch of farming, will
be one of the party. Five group
of field workers, both men ant
women, have been selected will
great care, and work of the kim
that counts is expected.
