NOT THOUGHT that He
Will DO MUCH DAMAGE
II Is Generally Thought That the Wee
will viii Not Appear in Quantities
Sufficient to Do Great Amount of
Damage.

The much dreaded Mexican boil
weevil has at last found it's way to
Forrest county, several specimens
having been sent in from the South
ern section of the county and ident-
fed as the genuine, beyond a doubt.
While several farmers have found
the pests working on their Gotten, the
number of insects discovered so far
has not been great enough to warrant
any considerable amount of uneasiness,
and the damage done by them has
been extremely light.
Mr.. J. P. Hearst, special agent of
the agricultural department, is devot-
ing a great deal of time to the study
of the insect and believes he can pre-
vent its spread if farmers will follow
the instructions issued by the depart
ment.
From all that can be learned. there
seems to be no probability of the in
sects committing any extensive depre-
dations on the cotton crop of Forrest
county this year. To begin with, far
mers, as a rule, acting upon instruc-
tions from the department of agricul
ture, took every precaution to guard
against the pest, and with the infor-
nation furnished them by the special
agent of the department, they believe
they will be able to fight the boil wee
vii successfully.
There has not been considerable
amount of cotton planted in the coun.
ty this year; at least, the acreage has
been reduced considerably, while 9TH
er crops which have not been grown
heretofore have been planted by a ma
jority of the farmers. This was done
in anticipation of the appearance of
the boil weevil, and even if the insect
should show up in large numbers the
farmers of Forrest county will not
suffer to any appreciable extent.
Every precaution will be taken to
prevent the migration of the insects
from infected territory, and it is be-
lieved that by cooperation and the
exercise good judgment the weevil
may be confined to a comparatively
small area.

WOULD Be GREAT BOON
TO CITIZENS OF CITY
The Idea is to Establish a Small Fac
tory for the Purpose of Manufacture
ing Ice for Home Consumption Ex.
cIusiveIy.

A plan which, if carried through
to successful termination will mean
a great saving to citizens of Hatties-
burg, as well as a convenience, has
been inaugurated, and, from the char
acter of the men behind it, there
seems every reason to believe that it
will be carried through.
The idea is for several citizens to
form themselves INTO a corporation
and subscribe stock for the purpose
of establishing small ice factory
which will manufacture ice for local
consumption only, the business to be
run on a cooperative plan; that is, the
consumer will get the benefit in a re-
duction on the price of ice.
The gentlemen who are behind the
movement are substantial business
men of Hattiesburg, and are not 60
ing into the ice business as money
making proposition. 1t is their pur-
POSS W hdhuldCIul6 lCc lIOm pure,
distilled artesian water, and to sell it
to the people of Hattiesburg at a
price little above the cost of pro-
duction. For instance, if ice can be
manufactured at a cost of eight cents
per hundred, they propose to sell it
for ten cents, or at a price that will
enable them to create small sinking
fund for the purpose of keeping the
plant in repair and replacing worn-out
machinery. No ice will be sold out
side of Hattiesburg, and it is proposed
to put on a sufficient number of de-
livery wagons to cradle everybody to
purchase ice twice daily if desired.
Several citizens have already ex-
pressed a willingness to subscribe. to
the capital stock of the new concern.
and it is thought probable that the
factory will be established and ready
for business before the present sum-
mer ends.
1t is proposed to establish a plant
of abont fifteen or twenty tons capaci-
ty.

YAzOO BOARD
WANTS ADVICE
Question of Law Concerning the coun
ty Printer Has Been Referred to
The Attorney General.

A question of law relative to the
county printer has been referred to
Attorney General Hudson from Yazoo,
and, in looking up the law on the mat
ter, it has been discovered that prac-
tically every county in the state has
been violating this law.
The law dates back several years,
something like twenty or thirty, and,
among other things, provides that all
the printing, bo )k binding, etc., for
each county must be done within the
county at stipulated price. The law
is not observed in any county, in the
first place because the books cannot
be purchased today at what they cost
at that time. No provision was made
for the increased cost of material or
work, and if the counties refused to
pay more than the price fixed by law,
they would be keeping records on
foolscap paper or anything else they
could be kept on.
In the next place the law ia vio-
lated because there are few book
binderies in the state, only two or
three counties having them, and since
the counties have no book binderies
the county officers go out of the state
for their books, or else the county
printer, who usually has a newspaper
and job office, supplies them through
some firm out of the state which is
practically the same as the officers
ordering the books direct.
That the law is being violated
there is no question, but just how it
is to be observed by the county prin-
ter and officers is difficult to say, as
it would cost several thousand dollars
to install a bindery, while the legal
price for the books would mean a loss
to the printer who attempted to COM
ply with the law at the legal rate,
since the price of both labor and ma
terial have increased more than 100
per cent since that law was enacted.

GREAT REVIVAL
Will CONTINUE
Protracted Meeting at Broad Street
Church Continues to Accomplish
Much Good.

Although room had been made for
sixty or seventy more people in the
Broad Street church, there was hardly
seating capacity for the large congre-
cation that assembled to hear Rev.
Mr.. Kelly Sunday morning. The
theme of the sermon was Good, the
Enemy of the Best" The text was
What good thing shall l do that
may inherit eternal life?"
The evangelist pointed out the fact
that in all enterprises there can be
no success unless the aim is for the
best. To be satisfied with the good
when the best is possible means a
life of failure. The demand is for the
best, whether as a citizen, a neighbor,
patriot, husband, wife, father, mother,
son or daughter. The vital question
is Am I doing my dead-level best?"
Especially powerful was the appeal
of the preacher when he came to the
life of a Christian. The great Master
wants the best; He wants all. And
we should not stop with being good
OF doing good, but give up all for
Him. He is worth infinitely more
than anything else. To turn away
from Him means refusing the best,
and that means failure.
The sermon made a profound i'm
preston and large number said they
were determined to live the very best
lives possible. Several asked for
prayer
The services for parents and chill
dren in the afternoon was unusually
good; one of the sweetest and best
services ever attended. Family affairs
were established by many parents as
one result of the service. Several

The night service was held on the
outside. About one thousand people
were there. 1t was decided best not
the Deep" The need and value of re-
vivals were strongly brought to mind.
Never, it seems, has there been such
an opportune time for revival in
Hattiesburg as now.
So many say, ''It is the greatest
meeting I ever saw" What makes it?

HAMILTON MADE
REMARKABLE Time
Travelled in Biplane From Governors
Island to Philadelphia in 113
Minutes.
(Bp Associated PreSS.l

Philadelphia, Pa, June 13.-With a
dull leaden sky overhead, Charles K.
Hamilton, the aviator, today made the
daring flight of his career, travelling
in his biplane from Governors Island,
New York, to point on the outskirts
of Philadelphia, distance of Sc miles,
in 113 minutes.
A feature of the achievement was
the ease with which Hamilton picked
up and followed a Pennsylvania train,
travelling at high rate of speed
At the aviation field, four miles
northeast from the center of the city,
a tremendous crowd awaited the ar
rival of the daring airman. After the
report that he had crossed into Penn
sylyania was bulletined it did not seem
long before a shout went up that Ham,
ilton was in sight. Sure enough,
there he was. high in the air, directly
over the train. A moment later he
was in plain view and in few minutes
he had effected his landing and was
receiving the plaudits of the crowd.
Hamilton started from Governors
Island at 1885 o'clock this morning
This was after his departure for Phila-
delpha. Four thousand persons lined
the water front at the battery as the
aviator ascended and then headed for
Philadelphia. He was soon lost to
sight in the fog.
At Metchun, New Jersey, Hamilton
directed his course so that it followed
the tracks of the Pennsylvania rail
road. a special train serving as a pilot.
At Trenton. y. j., He flew over the
Delaware river into Pennsylvania at
a height of about 500 feet, and con-
tinued his journey.
1t was 9:2S when he reached Phila-
delphia. He landed at Front street

times and then shot easily to the

ditor Smith and his force have been
busy for a couple of days sending out
warrants on the public school fund for
1910. About 200 of these warrants
have been sent out to date, but the
work has only begun.
This is the first move toward dis
tributing the public school funds for
1901, and will require several days
to completee it. This distribution Is
based upon the school population OF
1909. and each county, under the in
creased appropriation, will receive
moro funds than last year or the year
preceding.
The work of distributing the funds
will not be completed for some time,
as there are hundreds OF schools in
the 70 counties of the state, and these
must all be given their pro rata OF
the fund. which is done through the
county superintendent of education.
Eyerv county will show an increase
of school children over 1908, which
was the largest in the history OF the

ditor and State Superintendent OF
Education to make the distribution,
and the work may be interferred with
to an extent by the meeting of the

The Atchison Globe says that no ad-
Vertiser has ever tried to control it's ed
itorial policy, the remark being occa-
stoned by the charge often made nova
days, that the big advertisers direct
the editorial policy of newspapers.
The experience of the Globe is the
experience of most newspapers. The
merchant who does a great deal of ad-
vertising is more interested in the cir
culation department of a newspaper
than in the editorial department. If a
daily paper goes to the homes of the
people, and is read by them, he is salts
fed, and it may chase after any theory
or fad, for all he cares. He has troubles
of his own, and he isn't trying to shoul-
der those of the editorial brethren.
There are newspapers controlled by
people outside of the editorial rooms,
and a good many of them, more's the
pity; but the people exercising that
control are not the business men who
pay their money for advertising space.
The newspapers which are established
for political purposes are often con-
trolled by chronic officeseekers, whose
first concern is their own interests.
There are newspapers controlled by
great corporations, and the voice of
such newspapers is always raised in
protest against any genuine reform.
