CONDITION Or THE COTTON CROP.
The N. 0. Times.D s.DemocFal's First Month
y Report.


The New Orleans Times-D Democrat
Of Monday published its first
monthly statement Of the year CIV
ing the condition Of the cotton crop
UP I'd June 7th, by its correspond
ents throughout the cotton belt
According to the summary Of The
It'd. these reports indicate .
favorable, though somewhat late,
start throughout the major portion
Of the belt Much replanting was
found necessary. Weather extremes
form the basis Of most Of the com
plants.
An appreciable increase in acre
age is reported from the States
west Of the Mississippi river.
AS rule, the fields are clean
and well worked.
Boil weevils have appeared in
the sections infested last year,
where crop diversification has been
resorted to more than ever before.
Thus far the plant seems to be free
of other insect pests.
The labor supply is ample in
most sections, but complaints d
scarcity in this respect come from
others.

4 Told You So.


The boil weevils are now present
ii this section in almost countless
numbers. Many farmers are doing
their very best to stay their raw
ages by picking them off the young
cotton and destroying them. A
very large per cent Of the farmers
resented the idea Of a government
expert advising them to destroy
their cotton stalks and burning
out all alternating places possible.
A lack Of this precaution is now
bearing its fruit. Our government
is truly paternal. endeavoring to
give such aid and protection to the
itizen, as the parent does to the
child. Until we can appreciate
the assistance offered us, we are
bound to be the sufferers. How
many millions of boil weevils could
have been destroyed BY following
the method advised BY the govern
|ment, no one can tell. but Of one
thing we are very sure. that it
would have been far easier to de-
stroy them By fire and other meth

SECRET CAUCUS SENATOR REFUSES TO
MEET FACE TO FACE ON THE STUMP
THE MAN he DENOUNCED.
LauderdaIe Invitation Declined After
Changing Of Date.
BiIbO Sends Warm Message. Saying Percy
FIees on Approach Of Enemy.

Meridian, Miss, June 12 In q
telegram received today Senator
Leroy Percy has positively declined
to speak from the same platform or
on the same occasion with State
Senator Theodore Bilbo.
Senator Percy had been invited
to speak at the LauderdaIe Springs
picnic and political rally June 80,
but stated he could not make the
connections on that date because of
an engagement to speak at Gloster
on June 20, and asked that the date
be changed to July /. which would
be convenient for him. Congress
man A. M. Byrd made the same
request. To satisfy them the picnic
promoters changed the date to July
/, as was announced yesterday. and
everything appeared agreeable to all
invited candidates.
Today, however, j. M. McBeath,
chairman of the invitation commit
tee. received telegram from Sena-
tor Percy, who, after having been
informed that Senator Bilbo was
also to deliver a speech at the
Lauderdale picnic. declining to
speak from the same platform with
Bilbo. who gained notoriety follow
ing the caucus in which Senator
Percy was elected because Of the
claim he made of having accepted
bribe to cast his vote for Percy.
In the first kilograms that passed
between Mr.. McBeath and Senator
Percy regarding BiIbo, Senator
Percy said: Newspapers report
that Bilbo is invited to speak at
the Lauderdale picnic. Kindly adj
wise if this is correct.
Mr.. McBeath replied: Invita-
tion sent Bilbo as well as every
other well-known candidate for
State office, but he has not accept
: ed. Am arranging program.
Wire if this will change your plans.
G. HI. Alexander will be present.
Yardanan declined. Date changed
to July 1. according to your sugges-
tion.
Senator Percy replied to the
above as follows: ~ am sure
that on reflection you will agree
with me that for reason which must
be obvious, it is impossible for me
to speak from the same platform OF
on the same occasion with Mr.. Bill
bo.
To the latter telegram Mr.. Nc
Beath wired the following reply.
Without passing Judgment or
your refusal to speak on the same
occasion as Senator BiIbo, / regret
that the invitation to him. which
he has just accepted, has caused
you to withdraw your acceptance tc
speak, especially so since the date
was changed ID response to your
request, and SO you could be pres
ent. A great many people in Easi
Mississippi have expressed desire
to hear Senator BiIbo and it was ir
Difference to their wishes that he
was invited. Was arranging pro
gramme so that Brewer. Bilbo anc
other State candidates could speak
in the forenoon; you. Messrs. Alex,
anders Wltherspoon and Byrd il
the afternoon.
The turn affairs have thus taken
will be disappointing to vast
number of political friends and ad,
mirers Of Senator Percy in this sec
tion of the State, as all were
anxious that he should deliver az
address on the occasion Of the Lau-
derdale picnic.
