IN JACKSON.

Chief Subject Of Discussion
BY Convention OF Conn
misnlOneru.


jackson. Mass, Nov 17-Modern
methods of growing cotton was the
principal topic of discussion at today's
session of the Southern States COM
missioners of Agriculture.
The invasion of the Mexican boil
weevil and methods of culture that
will minimize the ravages OF that pest,
formed prominent part OF the dis
cussion.
Among the speakers was DIR. w. ID.
Hunter, chief entomologist of the
United States Department of Agricul-
ture, who discussed the boil weevil
from a national viewpoint, its pro-
gress across the cotton belt and the
methods being used by the government
to make the growing of cotton both
possible and profitable in spite of the
weevil and its ravages.
Hon. r. l. Bennett. of Texas. dis
cussed the selection and breeding of
cotton, relating some Of the latest
practical experiments in the produc-
tion of varieties.
There was general discussion reIa-
tive to the best varieties adapted to
the boil wesvil districts. and on this
topic there was diversity of opinion.
The chief topic at the afternoon ses-
sion was the proposed law for the uni
form regulation OF the manufacture
and sale of commercial fertilizers.
At the last convention. a committee
was appointed to draft a bill for
adoption In the several southern
states AMI the report of this commit
tee has brought out an interesting de-
bate.

POLL TAXES IN DALLAS
CITIZENS DISTURBED OVER DIS
FRANCHIsEMENT CLAUSE.
Officers Of Election Declare That the
Law VIII BE Enforced-County
VIII Go Against the
Amendment.

Selma, Nov. 7.--tSpeciaD-The cit
liens OF Dallas county. who. In the
election. on November 20, casts his
vote either for or against the propos-
ed amendment to the Constitution will
have to show that he has fulfilled all
of the requirements OF the law.
The poll tax records of the county
since the adoption of the present Con-
stitution is being gone over by Of
ficials.
In this way It has been discovered
that there are a number OF citizens
who have thought that they could
vote but who have not fulfilled all
OF the requirements of the law and
who will be unable to poll vote on
November %. In many Instances the
search of the poll tax records has re-
vealed that citizens who thought they
had their poll tax paid up to date
have let a year lapse and by SO doing
have disfranchised themselves. Some
of the citizens who are thus disfran-
chised are among the most promi-
nent in the city and have been taking
an active part in the campaign.
1t is said that In one OF the coun-
try beats in the county no election
will be held on November 20, and no
vote either for or against the amend
nent Will De cast. IN otner country
precincts the vote will be very light
and the returns will be received here
soon after the polls have been closed !.
During the past few days some
doubt has been expressed whether the
former members of the old volunteer
fire department could vote In the APP
preaching election. Two OF the most
prominent attorneys of the city have
searched the laws upon this question
and have given their opinion that un-
der an act approved by the Cover
nor February II. 1885. the members OF
the old volunteer fire department can
vote In the election on November 20 :.
The latter weeks of the campaign
in Dallas have been dull ones on the
surface but both sides are working
actively. Next week, 1t Is said, that
two selmians who have been working
actively during the campaign viii

ate of the University of Alabama.
Mrs. Thames divided her time with
the chairman OF the Committee on L.
brary Extension who gave a paper on
English trade schools
The Federation adjourned for the
lunch hour and the afternoon was filed
with the reports from the individual
clubs.-
The noon hour was delightfuiiy
spent in social intercourse at the
Knights of Pythias hall. where an
elegant luncheon was served by the
hostess club.

the gathering took place this evening
