Kerry Is Il r. X. q. S. and has had a
wonderfully adventurous life. In 1884
the Afe newspaper sent an expedition
to New Guinea under the leadership Of
Mr.. Kerry. and after undergoing some
terrible hardships the expedition sue.

some hundreds Or miles. The schOon
or was then anchored and the eXplOr.
ors started on the trip across country.
Two men were left In charge of the
vessel and nothing else was ever heard
OF them. The overland party met with
terrible trouble almost from the start
and after losing two of their members
who were killed by the sayages. The
party decided to return to the ship.
The journey back to the Fly river
was accomplished with great difficulty
as the natives hung on to the tanks Of
the party. and on every possible occa-
sion attacked the explorers. After
fighting their way back to the stream
there was no sign of tine schooner and
the position of the party was desper.
ate. Kerry and his comrades followed
the banks Of the river down towards
the sea, but gradually the r'rty grew
smaller as the natives succeeded In
killing off the white men one by one.
Finally there were only two men
lcft-Kerry and the photographer Of
the expcdltion-and the only way they
could manage to make their way to
the coast was by travelling at night
along the bed Of the river some times
swimming and other times wading.
After suffering Understandable agonics
owing to the bites Of poisonous insects
and from the loss Of sleep the two
men reached the coast They were

fugitive from justice for six months Rob-
ert Francis Wood. wanted in New York
on the charge of murder. was arrested
yesterday afternoon through the clever
ness of Sergt. knight and Patrolman
Lanahan of the central district.
\ photograph on a postcard and a
tattooed thumb proved the undoing OF
Wood. The arrest was mainly due to the
ground work of Detective Atkinson. who
has been on the case for some time and
who located the photograph several days
ago.
The murder was committed September
%. 1908. Wood is alleged TO have shot
and killed his niece. Mrs. Aleah Linda
Roache, while she was in bed with her
two children in her apartment at 4O0
West sd street The alleged murderer
admitted to Marshal Farnan that he
killed the woman because he did not

Persistent Cough. Relief
Found at Last.

"For several winters past my wife has
been troubled with most persistent
and disagreeable cough, which invari-
ably extended over period of several
weeks and caused her many sleepless
nights" writes Will Hayner, editor of
the Burnley, Colo. Bulletin. Various
remedies were tried each year. with no
beneficial results. In November last the
cough again put in an appearance and
my wife. acting on the suggestion OF a
friend. purchased bottle of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. The result was
indeed marvellous. After three dose
the cough entirely disappeared and has
not manifested itself since. This rem

IN MEMORIAM.

SANDIFER-Ou Dec. %, 1908. the
death angel visited the home of +. A.
and r. A. Sandifer and took from
them their darling baby, Velva. She
WAS born Dec. %, 1906, and died
when just two years old.
She WIS first taken with fever and
was sick several days, and then took
congestion of the brain. She lived
only twelve days after she took sick.
She leaves father and mother and
one little sister to mourn after her,
besides the many relatives and friends
of the family. just before she died
she would look at her mama and
point her little hand toward heaven
and would try tO talk, but could not
speak word. 1t was hard for us to
part from little Velva, but God knew
best. We can live so AS to meet her
some day where partings are no more
aud farewells are never said. Cheer
up, dear father and mother, little
Velva cannot come to us, but We can
20 to her.
A precious one from us has gone,
A voice we loved il still,
A place is vacant in our home,
Which never can he filled.
To part from her is very hard,
But God must have his way;
Well follow Jesus in his word,
And meet her some sweet day.
Velva is gone. but not forgotten,
Never will her memory fade;
Sweetest thoughts will ever linger
Round the grave where she is laid.
The golden gates were opened wide,
A gentle voice said. Come
And angels ON the other side.
Welcomed little Velva home.
Her loving Aunts,
EMILY AND MATTE.

Panic Worse Than Boil Weevil

PauIc worse Than Boil Weevil
The boil weevil is here, we all
know that, but unreasoning panic
is far worse foe. We have under
gone hardships and disasters in the
past, we will meet them in the fu-
ture, and now when we are face to
face with this dread enemy we
know we will prove the victor.
Distress will fall upon many of us,
but we will emerge the stronger.
Our fathers were forced to abandon
the culture of indigo because of
depreciation of insect pests, aid
turned their attention to cotton.
Up to that time little progress and
less success had rewarded their
.labors In the cotton field, the seed
used was unsatisfactory, and the
plant far from being vigorous.
Through the introduction of green
seeded cotton from Mexico, the
plant became established among
US. The country was saved then.
In this connection we wish TO
call attention to bit of local his
tory, forgotten we believe by al
most all of us. In the year 1852
Thomas Fl. Oswald sold Abraham
McGhee the plantation known as
BLEAK House." McGhee was dis
satisfied with his purchase because
of the presence of COCO grass, and
filed suit to rescind the sale.
At the trial of the case many of
the most prominent and successful
planters of that day testified as to
the deterioration caused by coco,
among them being Judge Edward
McGhee, unquestionably the ablest
financier, the most acute business
man and successful planter of that
day in the entire State. He testi-
fed that COCO would render a plan
tation worthless within few years.
Messrs. Mclean and Richardson
were positive as to the great and
lasting damage done by this OBJ
noxious grass. In fact, there was
little or no attempt made to con-
trovert that fact. Those curious
to read this case will find it on
page $40 of the sixth volume of
Cushman's Reports.
What is the opinion now regard
ing coco? Negroes actually beg
to rent the COCO land-the soil is
richer, the cotton grows freer, the
scattered lint is not stained. They
find many points of superiority in
coco land. We know as a matter
of fact that many of our places in
tested with that grass were of more
value than ever before until this
scare came along. When such
men as those were mistaken, why
is it treason in US to refuse to even
think that "boll weevil" will for
ever ruin us?-W oodville Miss. }

present time, but the results OF
these experiments certainly indi-
cate that the extremely wide spac-
ing of rows aud plants now fire.
quently practiced, and still more
frequently advertised by most au-
thorities OIL the subject, is ali ex-
pensive practice for the planter.
1t is perhaps pleasant for the plant
er, after scattering a relatively
small number of cotton plants over
his field, to reflect that MANY weev-
lis are being killed by the heat,
but after all theory is not of much
value unless its application will re-
suit In the production of more cot
ton. The paramountquestion with
the Louisiana cotton planter at the
present time is not to "kill more
boil weevils," but how to make
more cotton to the acre without in
creasing its cost of production.
Any method of fighting or outwit-
ting the weevil which will not
bring an increased production is
from the planters standpoint, worth
less.
1t is, of course, impossible to
make definite recommendations as
to what spacing should be given
the cotton rows and plants, as con-
ditions are not exactly alike Oh
any considerable number of plan
tations. We would suggest, how
ever, that each planter devote a
part of his cotton acreage to just
such experiments in distance test
ing" us are described in the fore
going, and thereby determine for
his own conditions what spacing
will give the greatest yield per
acre. We will be interested in
learning the results of such trials
by the planters themselves.
From our own experience we are
inclined to believe that spacinp
about as follows will give the max
imum yields per acre under ordi-
nary conditions.
On poor upland soil, rows 8 feet
apart, plants 10 inches apart in
the row.
On rich upland or good prairie
soils, rows 3 feet apart, plants IL
inches apart in the drill.
For worn, or very sandy bottom
lands, rows 81 feet apart, plants IL
inches apart in the drill.
On bottom lands of medium fer
tillty, well drained, rows 4 feet
apart, plants Is inches apart in the
drill.
We have no recommendations as
to the planting of cotton on the
stiff or "buckshot" lands, for the
past years experience with the
boil weevil in the alluvial lands of
Louisiana has shown that the
planting of cotton Oh such lands or
on freshly cleared alluvial lands
of high fertility, usually surround
ed by timber, is extremely hazard
Gus. 1t is the, part of wisdom to
devote such lands to other crops
than cotton until substantial prog
ress has been made in fighting the
weevil on the most favored lands,
sandy and well drained.

lures OF the reorganization Of the navy,
particularly as to the bureaus many
Of which are now more closely connect

a matter Of complication under some
circumstances, for some of the orders
naturally supersede the old regulations
which are in book form The result is
a cross-reference which puzzles the of

Up at Mare Island the effect of the
reorganization has already been felt,
for Naval Constructor Holden Evans
has been appointed general manager of
the yard. Thus all departments of
work, including the shipbuilding plant,
ordnance department, engineering de-
partment where entire marine engines
are built, all with hundreds of employees,
big payrolls, ETC., come under the direc-
to be in force at Pearl Harbor when
the station is actually established and
in use.
Perfect efficiency in military action
is President Roosevelt's idea of what
the reorganization Of the Navy Depart
ment should provide, and which, in his
| opinion, it now lacks. Under his call
| for that purpose a commission of eight
men met to consider the needs Of the

that viii provide and maintain an i'm

for any hostility in time of peace, and
second, to specifically recommend
changes necessary in the present naval
organization that viii accomplish this
result. The commission is to consider
strategic needs of the fleet and number
