state, and now of the Agricultural and
Mechanical college Of Texas, was ap-
psaled to by prominent farmers of the
boil weevil infested regions of Missis-
sippi few days since to investigate the
claims Of one G. M. Snodgrass Of near
Houston, Tex, to the discovery Of a
cotton and method of planting and Guilt
walton that would make five or six bales
to the acre. Snodgrass was flooding the
country with circulars telling OF his won-
derful success and offering to sell his Sc
cret at prices ranging from SO to $50
according to the size of the farm on
which 1t was to be tried
Professor Welborn was sent to the
snoldgrass farm by the Agricultural and
Mechanical college of Texas, made u
thorough investigation, and reports In
an official communication to the presi-
dent of the college that he does not be-
lieve the Snodgrass field will make $50
pounds of seed cotton to the acre in
stead of the five to six bales claimed
by Snodgrass. and he is positive there ID
no merit in the so-called system Of plant
ing In hills seven feet apart
1t is stated that great many of the
farmers of southwest Mississippi have
played the sucker for Snodgrass, but
not another one of them will bite at
his seductive bait.
Farmers Selling Horses.
For the first time in the history of
Wilkinson county the farmers are sell
ing horses and mules and they are being
shipped out by the carload. These ami
mails are sold simply because they are
not needed and they are not needed be-
cause of the millions of boil weevils that
infest the plantations in that section Of
the state. The farmers are ail reduc-
ing their cotton acreage very largely
and they will have no use for SO many
head of horses and mules next year.
1t Is stated that q great many negroes
are also leaving that part of the state,
moving further up in the delta, where
the weevil has not as yet made his ap-
pearance, and where. they will hardly
make their presence seriously felt for two
or three years. However, the planters
there are already preparing for the pests
and new systems of farming will be in
ausurated before the arrival of the
weevil.

GERMAN YANKEEiSM.

That American shops and factories produce a high class of goods is con ceded, but we have shown surpris- ing lack of enterprise in creating a market for them in other lands. The more aggressive Germans get our ideas, copy our methods, and, if nee essary. employ American experts to apply them on the other side. Then they employ their superior commer- cial organization and water freight facilities to back the results of our brain and skill in a profit-making campaign for themselves. While in most instances the German imitation does not equal our goods in quality it frequently sells in far greater quantities, even in places compara- lively near to the United States, and this not merely because the Germans can offer their wares at lower price. lTheir energy in hustling for business counts for much.

BRYAN AND TSS sENATORSHiP.

The Washington Post begins to re- gret that Bryan's declaration that he is averse to entering the United States senate. A term in that body would do him "a power of good" and might serre to make a real states man of him. says that paper. MT. Bryan is an orator. not debater. He Is of the order of Edward Everett or Wendell Phillips. not of the fix of Stephen X. Douglas or Allen c. Thurman. He is no lawyer, but an advocate. and had he served in the two houses of congress as long as Joseph W. Bailey has-the two ap- peared in this town simultaneously In 1s91-he would now be a very diff ferent order of public man.
 So long as MT. Bryan lives he will be conspicuous figure. Thousands and tens of thousands or his fellow citizens idealize him and resent the cold fact that hr. Bryan is made of just as common clay as the average citizen. Like all other men, he is generous and he is also selfish. He has strength and he has weakness, and he would be more than human if the adulation he has enkindled in the imaginations of his admirers had not made spoiled boy of him. such as Sheridan discovered in the young. CT Pitt.
 Service in the senate would sub. iect Mir Bryan to financial loss. He would be tied to Washington at least ten months of every twenty-four, and thus his income from the lecture platform would be materially de creased; but politically the country would profit. for whatever strength ems and broadens the minds of a country's great men inevitably re dcunds to the public veal.
 We cannot believe that Mr Bry ans refusal to be c candidate fol senator is due to the superstition that seat in that body would with CT his chances for the presidency. | is true that no man has yet gon' from the senate to the white house but many Of our presidents served il the senate before they became chic magistrates. Monroe, the younge i, Adams, Jackson, Van Buren. both the Harrisons. Tyler. Pierce. Bucf anan and Johnson had been senators and, Garfield was senator-elect il 1880.
 Some day senator in the nlids of his term will be elected president

Hon. F. M. Murphy was the guest of President Taft at dinner on Sat urday last. The fact that so distin- guished and loyal a citizen of Ari- zona has had the opportunity to tell President Taft of the great resources and opportunities Of this territory. bodes good for Arizona. Mir. Murphy is perhaps the very best equipped man for a such duty. He has been prominent in many of the great de- velopmeut enterprises here during the last quarter of 8 century and there is no man better acquainted with the splendid opportunities .or the future. MT. Murphy has been foremost in the fight for statehood for Arizona and his presence in Washington and in the white house will no doubt further the aspirations of the people for the right of self government

 IN SERIOUS TROUBLE.
Brought Back From Twin Buttes After Kidnapping
 Young Girl

TUCSON. June e4.-To kidnsp a fifteen-year-old girl from her home in this city, to live with her as her husband at Twin Buttes and to be ar. rested at that place and brought back all within the period of three or four days, is the experience of Jose Pa dilla. a dashing swain of Mexican de scent who now responses in the county jail to be arraigned before Justice Dufton on a charge of abduction.
 A complaint was issued by the magistrate for the arrest of Padilla, being sworn to by Mrs. Joseph Mesa, residing in the Mexican quarter, near Elysian Grove. who is the moth CT of the girl Not until she had secured information as to the where abouts of her daughter did she noti- fy the authorities of her absence. The warrant was handed to Constable Mills who made hasty trip to Twin Buttes Monday night. There he found the object of his search: the couple was residing in a tent. They were placed under arrest and returned to this city, the young man being placed in jail and the girl returned to the custody of her parents.
 The Kidnapping. it is alleged, took place several nights ago. during the absence of the mother from the home. Returning she found her daughter gone but thought little of the matter until several hours after wards when the continued absence of the girl caused her to become SO licitous Padilla had been an unde- sirabie suitor of the girl, it is said. for some time past and the mother immediately suspected him of being her daughters abductor. Monday she learned of the whereabouts of the pair and immediately instituted pro ceedings against the fellow.
