Must Burn Cotton Plants Early.

u
The State Crop Pest Commission
is using every influence to bear on
the farmers to have them destroy all
cotton plants early this fall. The
experience and observation of the
commission has been that 1t is prac-
tically impossible to raise a profit
able crop of cotton under the condi-
tions that exist in this State unless
some direct measure of killing the
boil weevils is adopted. The only
way to kill them in large enough
quantities to insure a crop is to des-
troy the cotton plants several weeks
before frost, preferably before Oct.
Is, and before Oct. If possible. The
experience of the commission along
the line is fully corroborated by the
experience of practical planters.

Stolen from

Prosecution May Follow Publication
of Communication by Attorney
General.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-"There may be
n sequel to the disappearance Of the letter
that will be very uncomfortable for some
body" said an official of the Department
Of Justice today when his attention was
called to the publication of the letter
written by Attorney General Wickersham
June q last to District Attorney Wise at
New York, which found its way into one
of the magazines.
The letter had relation to a feature of
the Sugar trust prosecution. Mr.. Wise, 1t
is said at the department, is making an
effort to discover by whom the letter was
taken, he having filed 1t with his personal
correspondence and a prosecution of any
one who may be found guilty of purloining
1t will be undertaken.
NEW YORK, Dec. 22--Thomas B. Harmed,
a Philadelphia lawyer, brought suit in the
United State circuit court today against
the International Magazine company,
owned by w. r. Hearst, asking damages
Of $75, 900 for an alleged libel in the current
issue of the Cosmopolitan Magazine in an
article entitled, Tragedies of the Sugar
Trust" In this same article appeared a
copy of the letter written by Attorney
General Wickersham to Henry A. Wise,
United States district attorney here, which
in some manner was copied from an origi-
nal in Mr.. Wise's desk.
Harmed is one of the men indicted by the
federal grand jury in connection with the
Pennsylvania Sugar Refining company's
suit, whose demurrer to the indictment,
however. was sustained on the ground
that prosecution was barred by the statute
Of limitations.

DANGER OF RACE WAR

FOrty-TwO Leaders of Negroes Who
threatened TrOub Are in
County Jail.

MAGNOLIA, Ala, Dec. 22.-The situation
here tonight is quiet and no further vlo-
lence Is anticipated because of bitter feeling
between the negroes and whites of the
community following the killing Of the
young white man, Lewis, Saturday night
by the Montgomery negroes.
With the ring.eaders among the negroes,
forty-two in number behind the bars OF
the county jail at Linden, it is believed
the threatened attack upon the whites by
the negroes has been effectually f~orestalled.
The negroes in this section outnumber the
whites, fifty to one.
The forty-two negroes taken to Linden
today are charged with carrying concealed
weapons and making threats of violence.

perado brothers, is still being pursued by

DR.. Cook Is a member Of the executive
COMMITTEES Of the club.
Rudolph Kersting. newly elected treas
urer Of the club, accompanied DR.. Cook
on the Greenland expedition in 1894 and
1901 to Alaska, preached the subject OF Or.
Cooks membership. He argued that the
University OF Copenhagen, after a studied
and thorough investigation, had declared
Or. Cook an imposter, and favored immedi-
ate steps TO dismiss him from the club.
by his hoax he disgraced the Arctic
cub" said Mr.. Kersting.
Instantly the meeting was thrown into
an uproar, and the debating that ensued
was long ana stormy.
It was learned that not more than two
or three members at the most supported
DR.. Cook outright. Or. Roosevelt o. Steb-
bins, who. was himself. the leader in or
g~anlzlng the Cook relief expedition be-
fore the explorer was heard from, urged
that 1t was too serious a matter TO dispose
Of hurriedly and the regular curse Of pre-
senting formal charges for the considers-
ton Of the board of directors should be fo.-
lowed.

CHRISTIANIA, Dec. Z2.-FridtJof Nan
sen, the Norwegian Arctic explorer today
broke his long silence and talked of the
Peary-Cook controversy.
1T is my opinion" he said, that Cook
is no longer interesting. He is practically
a dead man and ought to vanish from the
consideration of the world. l never trusted
him, for the first report which he made
did not inspire confidence, especially his
statements concerning the distance Of IA
seconds from the pole. This proved that
Cook was ignorant OF the simplest prin-
ciples Of astronomical observations. Even
his later reports contained nothing Of value.
on the contrary they were filled with inn
probabilities and contradictions.
From the first l was unable to support
DR.. Cook. 1 therefore preferred to keep
silent. AS for Peary, 1 never doubted his
veracity, although 1 did not approve of
his behavior after his return. However,
1t is easy to understand his Indignation.
At least he is a man, and there is no com
parison between him and Cook"

inch gun now in progress at Indian Head,
Md. Five shots have been fired and one
or two more will be necessary before this

proved"
The tests SO far are said to have demon
strated the necessity of a special powder
for the gun, in order to produce the de-
sired velocity and hitting power without
too great a pressure. The gun is fifty
three feet Six and a half inches long,
weighs sixty-three tons, shoots a shell
weighing 1,4O pounds, uses 1856 pounds Of
