''DREGS' VOTE
MOTHERS HAVE TO BE DRIVEN
TO THE POLLS.
"New York Takes Suffrage More
Seriously Than Colorado"
Says Buchtel.

New York.-"Only the dregs of wo-
mankind vote in Colorado; the mothers
have to be practically dubbed to the
polls"
This was the declaration made Mon
day on the woman's suffrage question
by Rev. DR.. Henry A. Buchtel, former
governor of Colorado, one of the four
states in which women have the right
to vote.
DIR. Buchtel did not give his views on
m suffrage without showing great
reluctance.
at is a hateful subject to me-" he
said, "and once l make any statement
regarding it all the ~long-haired men and
short-haired women will be up in arms
to argue about It. I dislike to incur
any unnecessary outbursts, but New
York is taking woman suffrage far more
seriously. now than Colorado, where the
women have full rights.
"Chivalry was the motive that prompt
ed equal franchise in Colorado, and the
m legislators have been suffered to
put forth their claims out of respect
to their sex. There have been few who
did not demand the most absurd and
unreasonable laws. The only trouble
about the woman legislators is that they
will not listen to argument-no woman
will. Logic does not appeal to them.
Power was not intended for woman;
influence is more subtle, and it is a
woman's greatest force. When = wo-
man seeks power it is a great calamity,

Rice Growing in the Delta.

H. E. Savely, assistant to DR.. S. A.
Knapp of the agricultural department,
was a visitor in Rosedale, to call On the
Hon. Charles Scott relative to the rice
experiment on the latter's Triumph
plantation, in the lower part of Bolivar
county. Mr.. Savely states that he is
Just from the rice fields adjacent to
Lake Providence, La, which he found in
a very promising condition, and on a
close inspection of the Bolivar county
rice he is prepared to say that it equals
in all respects any rice that he has seen
in Louisiana; he is fully convinced that
rice culture in the delta will prove q
financial success. Mr.. Savely states
that he has just observed with pleasure
that the lands Immediately adjacent to
the river, which are practically useless
some years because of sipe water, are
especially adapted to rice culture, and
the probability is that a large area of
said lands will be devoted in the future
to this industry, thus making profitable
lands which have heretofore brought
their owners little or no revenue.

Heat Killing Boil Weevil.

Cotton growers in the southwestern
counties of Mississippi, where the boil
weevil has made its appearance, are, as
r rule, indorsing the theory advanced
by Prof. Newell, State entomologist of
Louisiana, that the intensely hot weather
now prevailing in this section is literally
cooking the eggs and larvae of the boil
weevil, and greatly diminishing prospects
of continued ravages by the pest, thus
showing that even sizzling weather has
its uses in the plan of nature.

ted before the legislative committee
which is trying him that .he has sold
$4,000 worth of bonds of the Athens
street railroad, making a profit of about
1900 on the transaction. When Nc
Lendon was suspended, this charge was
not made. He was suspended by Gov.
Smith for refusing to vote with the other
commissioners in an effort to lower
freight rates. He claimed he acted in
the interest of the people of the state

bonds, in order that the road might be

State Sues for $14,1S4,OOO.

Attorney General j. b. Stirling has
filed suit in the chancery court of
Holmes county at Lexington against the
Retail Lumber Dealers Association of
Mississippi and Louisiana, under the
antitrust statute of Mississippi for the
recovery of penalties aggregating $14,-
184, 600. The suit is quite the largest
single item of litigation ever filed in the
State, although it is the minimum
amount for which it could have been
brought, being at the rate of $500 per
day for the 9s5 days since March IA,
1906, the date on which the offending
agreement was made, for each of the
seventy-two concerns admitted to be
members of the association. The maxi
mum penalty prescribed would have been
$4,000 per day, and had that extra
measure been asked for the suit would
have been for the munifccnt sum of
$4OS, 775, 900. AS it is, the amount
asked from each member of the organi-
zation is $197,0 OO. The attorney gem
eral feels confident of securing judg-
ments for the full amounts asked for.

Petition for Soil Survey.

A petition is being circulated in the
Seventh congressional district asking the
department of agriculture at Washing
ton to authorize a soil survey for that
district. The chief reason offered by
Congressman Dickson for asking a soil
survey at this time is the fact that the
boil weevil has invaded every county in
his district, and he believes that a soil
survey would enable the agricultural
interests to more intelligently determine
the crops, other than cotton, to which
the soil of that section is best adapted.

Col. Haynie Expelled.


A sensation that has been brewing
in the Mississippi division of the Farm
ers' Union for several months, culmin-
ated today, when formal announcement
was made hat the executive committee
has expelled Col. Thomas S. Haynie
from membership in the organization.
The order of the executive committee
not only %summarily expels Col. Haynie
from membership in the division, but
also instructs Jackson local No. 177S,
of which he is a member, to take sim
liar action, which has been done. Col.
Haynie was formerly editor of the
Farmers Union Advocate, official organ
of the Mississippi division. He also
served as member Of the lecture bureau,
and was one of the most active organ
izers in the division. The first breach
between Col. Haynie and other mem
bers of the organization occurred short
ly after his retirement from the editor
ship of the official organ when he
launched a scheme to form a negro
branch of the Farmers Union. This did
not meet with the approval of the mem
bers of the executive committee, who
fatty refused to have anything to do
with a negro organization, OF to give it
recognition of any sort.

This is without doubt the best camp

ing camp, and second, we have instruc-
tors in every department, infantry, cav-
airy, artillery, signal corps, hospital
corps and general staff work, who are
regular army officers, who know how to
do things and when to do them. In ad-
dition, this is undoubtedly the best camp
site, taking it all round, that we have
ever had, with the sanitation as well
looked after as possible. We are outside
the city, yet convenient for all practi-
cal purposes, and have most every con
venience that a soldier could have or
