That Deadly Cigarette.

DR.. ]. ]. Kellog says; "A few
months ago 1 had all the nicotine
removed from a cigarette, making
solution of it. 1 injected half
the quantity into a frog, with the
effect that the frog died almost in
stantly. The rest was administered
to another frog with like effect.
Both frogs were full grown, and of
average size. The conclusion is
evident that a single cigarette con-
tains poison enough to kill two
frogs. A boy who smokes twenty
cigarettes day has inhaled enough
poison to kill forty frogs. Why
does the poison not kill the boy?
It does kill him. If not immeadi-
ately, he will die sooner or later OF
weak heart, Bright's disease, or
some other malady which scientific
physicians recognize.

A Peculiar Disease.

Vicksburg, Miss. /, July TAX
en- sick two years ago with what
Charity Hospital physicians here
pronounce as Raynaud's disease, a
rare aff1iction, Henry Fields, a young
negro, was brought to Vicksburg
from point six miles south by
Sheriff Kelly to learn if the disease
was contagious, it having been re-
ported that the negro had leprosy,
Hospital physicians said it was not
leprosy, nor contagious. Since the
disease developed the young negro
first lost his toes, then his hands
were attacked, and both fell off,
and now there are signs he will
lose both feet. Not being able
to get benefit from treatment, the
negro was returned to his home.

Burned to Death.

Bond, Miss, July Yesterday
at ago p. m. the beautiful little
I3-year-oId daughter of D. Near
thur was burned to death. She
was doing some pressing for fancy
needlework with a patent wood
alcohol iron. AS she went to fill
the small tank of the iron she failed
to turn off the light, and the can
with one gallon of alcohol explod-
ed, casting its contents over her
entire body. The father and moth
er made brave efforts to extinguish
the flames, but all to no avail.
The father and mother are suffer
ing from badly burned hands.
Little Hannah was conscious up to
the time of her death, which took
place four hours later. She was
the baby girl and a great tavor:te
with everyone in town. Mr.. Nc
Arthur, wife, two sons and little
Hannah came to Bond three years
ago from Madison Station, during
which time they have endeared
themselves to all.-Special to Pic
ayune.
Mr.. Macarthur formerly resided
in Claiborne county and hisfriends

the terrible accident which caused
the death of his daughter.

Bitten by Supposed Mad Dog.
Yours very truly,
"F. A. HILLEG.

Was the pet dog that bit the two
and-a- half year old son of Mrs. Gill,
in Sharkey county, last Friday,
mad, or was it merely fretful from
the heat, and for the first time ex-
hibited temper sufficient to bite the
little boy, by whom the dog had
been looked upon as a harmless
companion?
These queries are now uppermost
in the mind of the anguished motn-
er, who Monday morning brought
her child here for treatment. The
boy is taking the Pasteur remedies
under direction of DR.. William
Krauss, Vicksburg' recent and most
highly appreciated acquisition in
the medical profession. DR.. Krauss
recently lived in Memphis, and
came here after being elected dean
of the University Medical Branch
to be established here and has Just
introduced the Pasteur treatment
at the Vicksburg Infrmary, with
DR.. B. B. Martin.
AS the dog was killed immediate
ly after the child was bitten, the
case is all the more serious, because
it will never be known wether or
not it had hydrophobia.
The child suffered one slight and
one rather serious wound on the
leg from the effects of the dogs
bites.
DR.. Krauss is unable to tell very
much about the nature of the case
now, but will take all precautions
by giving the little fellow full ben
eft of the twenty-five days treat
ment.
At the In6rmary, the mother OF
the boy stated that they resided in
Sharkey county, near where there
had been a number of mad dogs re.
cently, and a lot of cattle had beer
killed, after being bitted by dog.

cIaibOrne's Prisoners.

The first notice of the conviction
of prisoners and their readiness to
be conveyed to the penientiary
farm for nearly two weeks reached
the office of Secretary Yerger this
morning, coming from Judge ]. N.
Bush, who has just closed a term
of circuit court at Port Gibson,
Claiborne county.
One was convicted of the killing
of a white man, and Judge Bush
advises against bringing him here
over the Natchez branch of the Y.
Y. M. V. railroad, as trouble might
result as he passed through Clai-
borne county, on that indirect
route.
Travelling Sergeant Marshall has
had a vacation practically of two
weeks, the first he has ever had
since he took the job, and he is
growing restless under the lack
of excitement. The notice just
received will therefore be relief
to him, even if it does not require
more than a couple of days to make
the transfer Judges throughout
the state are still being importuned
to pretermit or postpone terms
and are generally granting the re-
quests to allow the farmers to get
the grass ont of their lrops.-Jack-
son News.
The Reveille doesn't think there
is the least danger in taking the
murderer over the Little J." We
have heard of no threats of lynch
ing. When the murder was COM
mitted the people of the Carlisle
neighborhood were considerably
wrought up. but Washington has
been in the county Jail for several
weeks. and there has not been the
slightest suggestion that citizens
would take matters into their own
hands.

Much is being said in the papers
now about the growing of Louis
lana cane syrup. My father has
grown and shipped syrup for years.
l have just this to say, be sure of a
market before you plant much cane.
l have had considerable experience
and | know whereof l speak. l
have always been successful in Sc
curing a market for my syrup at
satisfactory prices but it has been
necessary for me to go after it.

1t is not wise to talk about worlds
of money in vegetables, thousands
of dollars in cane syrup, etc. l
preach diversifcation in and out
of season, but my advice to the
farmers of Mississippi is to go slow
in vegetables, cane, etc. l sell tur-
nips, cabbage, peas, beans roast
ing ears, syrup, and in fact almost
every product that is grown on a
Mississippi farm. My policy is to
live at home and have some odds
and ends for sale.
The boil weevil is here and many
farmers will lose more money grow
ing products that they cannot sell
than the boil weevil will damage
them. Let us not forget that cot
ton is the greatest money crop in
the world.
The first step that / advocate IS
to produce upon your farms all
that is required for your family and
for your stock on the farm.
The second step that advocate
is to have good pastures, lespedeza,
and pea meadows.
Tie third step that advocate is
to increase the number of good
breed mares, milk COWS, hogs, beef
cattle, and poultry. The stock can
be turned into the cornhelds full
of cowpeas, the potato patches the
peanut patches aud sorghum
patches in the fall and all will be
rolling fat by winter. We can sell a
good milk-cow now and then, we
can dispose of a good mule or
horse every year or so to good ad-
vantage, we can sell number of
good fat beef cattle every fall, we
can sell a few cans of good hog lard
at almost any time, we can sell fat
yellow legged chickens at most any
time. Let us live at home and sell
odds and ends and grow cotton, the
greatest money crop in the world.

Get The Boil WeeviI.

The following interesting letter
was received by Mr.. c. R. Byrnes
from F. A. Hilleg. a successful
planter of Caddo parish, La, and
should prove profitable to planters
in this section:
"Natchez, Miss
Dear Sir-Yours of the 25th
to hand, and carefully noted.
In reference to Boil Weevil'--
Caddo parish and the hill parishes
east to the Ouachita river made
about one-third crop. They had
boil weevil plenty. 1 consider six
teen days rain in July did more
damage than the boil weevil for at
the same date DeSoto parish and
Sabine had dry spell at the same
date it was raining in the above
parishes. DeSoto made, you might
say, a full crop of cotton-made as
much cotton in 1908, as they made
in both years, 1906 and Ioo7-You
are up against this proposition:
If July is wet, the weevil will take
your crop, but if July is hot and
dry and you keep your plows run
ming, with brush on the single
tree to lightly strike the cotton,
that will knock the weevil of-run
your plow light, throw the square
and weevil to the middle of the
row-the sun will dry up the
square and kill the weevil. Do not
try to cover them up, they will
come from under four inches Of
dirt. Expose the squares and
weevil to the sun. The weevil will
die if you put him in hot dust in
five minutes. He can neither crawl
out nor fly after being placed in
dust.
Do you know of any crop that
was a total failure?' Yes, last
season, one negro with one mule
picked mp the squares and bnrned
them, run his plow lightly through
his cotton-he made seven bales of
cotton This negro said the wee
wills troubled him and he and his
children troubled the weevil.
Failure-on the same place,
same manager, same character of
land, negro with two mules, every
thing equal to make crop, except
he stopped blowing, did not mix
with the weevil, left his cotton, and
Weevil and made two bales of cot
ton. This about covers every
point.
"Any other questions, I will
cheerfully answer.
Yours very truly,
"F. A. HILLEG."

Facts About the Boil weeviI.
c. H. Afford. COUNTY

There is considerable variation
in the size of the adults, some be-
ing less than three-quarters of an
inch in length and few almost
three-eighths of an inch long.
The most distinctive structure
by which the boil weevil may be
recognized is two small spines on
the inside of the first joint of the
front legs. Both of these spines
are of deep reddish color, are
sharply pointed and 'one of them is
somewhat larger and longer than
the other.
Upon leaving alternating quart
ers in the spring the adults start
on their search for growing cotton.
If they fail to find the cotton up,
some at least of them return to
winter quarters and emerge again
later on. From the time of leav-
ing Information until the first
squares are formed upon the plants,
the adults feed upon the leaves
and buds of the cotton.
AS soon as the squares form on
the cotton plant, both males and
females feed on the squares. The
entire square is not consumed, but
the weevil punctures the outer COW
ering of the square and through
this opening reaches its beak into
the square and feeds. Thus we
see that it is impossible to poison
any considerable number of weev-
lis.
The adult weevils are active dur
ing daylight hours only and do
their feeding and dcpositlng their
eggs during that time. They do
not fly or move about at night, nor
are they attracted to light. Trap
lanterns placed in the field at night
catch horde of insects, most Of
which are beneficial. Boil weevils
are NEVER captured by such coz
trivances and their use is a need
less expense and waste of time.
Entomologists have taken hum
dreds of thousands of insects at
lights in the weevil sections but
not ONE boil weevil has ever been
captured in this manner.
Observations made by Messrs.
Hunter and Kinds show that the
alternating female weevils deposit
eggs at the rate of about five per
day. The same gentlemen also
found that the hibernated weevils
continued to lay eggs for an aver
age of 48 days each, and few con-
tinued to lay eggs for as long a Pc
Rod as 90 days. The average
number of eggs laid by the weevils
has been found to be about $50.
The development of the individ-
ual boil weevil, from the time the
egg is deposited in the square or
boil until the adult emerges, re-
quires in July and August from II
to 16 days. If to this period of
development we add S to 6 days
which elapse between the time the
weevil emerges from the, square or
boil and the beginning of egg de-
position we will have from II to 2I
days as the time required in the
summer for each generation.

The rule is frequent and shallow
cultivation. There are exceptions
to all rules. If it rains for two or
three weeks, it may be necessary
to use a turning plow to bury the
grass.

Hot Weather Donts.

A Western paper prescribes for it's subscribers for the hot weather as follows:
 Don't work too hard.
 Don't think too hard.
 Don't fail to pray.
 Don't, if you are a man, wear a waistcoat.
 Don't if you are a woman, fail to remember that nature did not mean for you to be a harnessed, curveless creature with no di- mension gave length, but instead being whose whole body, in summer especially, should be al- lowed to breathe.
 DON'T WORRY.
 Don't hurry.
 Don't wear black.
 Don't lose your temper.
 Don't forget to bathe often.
 Don't scald the children.
 But drink water early, often, late.
 Don't feed a baby every tine it cries. The chances are it needs water more than food.
 Don't wait until your own throat is parched and then gulp down drafts of ice water. Every time you have nothing else to do swallow little more cool, pure water.
