 Private advices from Liverpool said
 that further reduction of 200, 900
 bales had been made ill estimates
 of the last Indian crop and this stimulated buying. Prominent operators in the local market gave i out bullish estimates of the Ameri-
 can crop over the holiday, whic': had the effect of increasing buying for outside long accounts. Shorts showed a disposition to cover. The report on supply and distribution , of cotton from the census bureau had no effect OH the market. At the end of the first half hour oI , trading prices were 16 and 1T points over Wednesdays last quotations. A very steady tone was in evil dence all the morning. No special buying was noted, but the ring all ways had enough buying orders to absorb all offerings. The weather continued good and reports from the
 belt were that the work of gather-
 ing the remnants of the crop was
 being rushed, but the trade did not
 find anything of bearish import in these telegrams. Telegrams from
 Montgomery said that in the eastern half of the belt there would be soon sharp falling off in both ginning and receipts as the result of the bringing of the picking season to close Some sections reported
 more willingness to sell by the spot holders.

Total vote in 1908, 24 3S9. There was no Republican candidate for Con- 2 ess in the Sixth district in 1908.
 The larger totals shown for 1908 over those of 1910 are due to the fact that 1908 was a presidential year, the full voting strength of both parties being drawn out by the keen fight between W. J. Bryan and William H. Taft for the office of pres dent. The next congressional election will also be presidential election. when the totals will probably be much larg- CT than 1908.

WAR AGAINST
 BOIL WEEyIL
Is Referred to Interestingly By Homer NeWspaper-J. X. Evans
 COmplimented.

What has been accomplished in the fight on the boil weevil in Claiborne parish is referred to interestingly in the following article in the Homer Ua0, Guardan-Journal, in which J. A. Evans, government worker of Shreveport is eomplimented for his splendid efforts:
 We have passed the third year since the advent of the cotton weevil in Claiborne parish. By this time our farmers have heard of and some of them have doubtless tried all the va rious remedies that seemed at all practical in the destruction or pre- venting the weevil.
 The governments both state and national have contributed everything reasonable along the same lines. Of course, many of our farmers will ney- CT make any effort to get rid of the pests. but there are those who are ready to do all in their power to aid in the fight that has been inaugurat- ed. During these three years we have learned good deal that will be oi benefit in the future There is some thing on which we all are agreed.
 In first place we all know thai where the cotton is planted in wide rows that permits the sun to sh; freely through the growing plant. an woith the cotton plowed often e''r n. the late summer, especially if >hc 9.2, son is dry, the weevils will not b < numerous, the hot sun and sand re ducng them to minimum.
 But We differ as to preventive meth.

of time extending over a year. Any
way, whether sufficient or not, that
is the allegation generally made; but
in this case Mrs Hastings alleges
that she has been a resident in the
state over 40 years, and that she was
married to Hastings In Polk county
in the month of July, 1872. In the
month of April 1895, just about 23
years afterwards, so runs the COM
plant. the husband, without any
proyocation or cause, deserted and
abandoned his wife and ever since
then has continued to live separate
and apart from her, and because of
1t she now asks that the court grant
her decree of divorce
The children, It Is alleged, have all
reached their legal majority, and
there are no property rights involved
In the action.
