The Ebenezer Camp Meeting.

The Ebenezer camp meeting. which
has been in progress for the past
week, will probably be brought to a
close Sunday night. The attendance
has been fair, hut not so good as
former meetings. Rev. J. E. Gaar
conducted the services for the first
three or four days, and by his earnest
and effective preaching aroused a
great deal of enthusiasm ON the part
Of believers and interest ON the part
of those who would fee he wrath to
come. The singing was lead by d
young Mr.. Gaar. most ably assisted
by Mr.. Earnest Gaar, son of the
preacher. whose ability as a cornet-
Ist is quite remarkable for youth.
This trio, by the way, is VIM parisi,
talent, aud as preacher. singer and
musician they are hard to beat.
Revs. j. l.. Brnsher and G. V. Spell
were expected t. arrive on Tuesday
or Wednesday, of this week, and with
the enthusiasm already aroused
great revival and inyathering of con-
verts WAS looked for.
The conduct of affairs at the camp
ground is mainly in the hands OF
K. +. Harrison, Matt Mccain, b. +.
Ttddlie, and other trustees, and as :,
rule there is but little in the way of
correct management that they over
look.
The camp ground itself is the ideal
spot in Louisiana forsncll purpose.
They hive ten acres of ground inclos-
ed for the tabernacle and tents, num-
herring in all about forty-five. Sur
rounding this Enclosure in about
horseshoe shape there is u succession
OF seven or eight springs, of the finest
kind OF cool drinking water, that
trickles of in little branches and
flows into tue creek running near by.
1t is well worth the trouble aud en-
pense of all who can go to visit Et-
enezer camp ground.

The High Water of 1909.

The present conditions in Colfax
nnd vicinity are So much more pros
porous and cheerful than they were
at this time last year, it is well for Us
to take > retrospect, and consider
the present encouraging conditions.
At this ting last year the entire Red
River VaIleywas in the utmost straits
of distress. With the exception OF "A
narrow strip Of land at Colfax, half
mile wide and about ten miles long,
the entire valley was overlooked,
and all OF the growing crops were
destroyed. Thousands of people
were on the verge OF starvation, aud
four steamboats, were being kept
husy supplying government rations
to the suffering people. This year
there IL an abundance of corn, and
all kinds Of garden truck has been
grown in the utmost profusion. Our
people are Tat and sassy. and they
are gr6wling because the boil weevil

eating it 40 fast they don't expect to

PEST HARD TO KILL IN DELTA
Secretary Wilson Says He Can Con-
troll Weevil in tho Uplands.

Washington-The hearings on the es-
Inmates submitted for the agricultural
department for the next fiscal year has
been closed by the house committee on
agriculture and when congress reassem-
bles, early in January, the actual work
of framing and reporting the agricultural
appropriation bill will be begun. 1t will
probably carry approximately $13,oOO,-
600, exclusive of continuing permanent
appropriations.
In the course of the hearings on the
BILL at which Secretary Wilson and his
bureau assistants appeared, it was
brought out that the cotton boil weevil
parasites have been very busy and sew
eral species of the parasites in some Sec
tions have destroyed fifty per cent of the
weevils.
The scientists, it is testified, are find
ing the boil weevil more difficult to con-
troll in the Mississippi delta than in the
uplands, partly because the weevil breeds
more rapidly and has more opportunity
for hiding away and alternating in the
delta.

COPENHAGEN AGAINST COOK
Preliminary Report Says His Claim
Is Not Established.

Copenhagen-The Associated Press is
informed by high authority that the
committee of the University of Copen-
hagen, in its preliminary examination of
his records, failed to discover proof that
Frederick A. Cook reached the north
pole.
A preliminary report was made by the
examining committee at secret ses-
sion of the consistory of the university
today. The consistory listened to the re-
port, which provoked an animated dis
cussion. 1t appears that the data so far
submitted is not held sufficient to es-
tablish the explorers claims.
The result of the discussion was a re-
quest ON the part of the consistory that
the committee continue it's work. The
university body will leave to the inves-
tigators proper the matter of making
public later the results of their inqui-
ries.
1t is learned that several members of
the university consistory are exceedingly
angry over the rector's preliminary re-
port, one of them expressing regret that
the university had not waited until DR..
Cooks claim that he reached the pole
had been proved before honoring him.

The lynchings occurred in twelve
