Special to The Netos.
Montgomery, Ala, Aug. 1S.-That
the bon weevil will be in Alabama
this fall, all things now indicate. If
the pest makes as good time Eastward
as it did in Mississippi last year, it
will find lodgment as far into this
state as Escambia county, across Mo
bile and Baldwin counties, from the
Mississippi line. However, it is more
than likely that it will get no further
than Mobile, Washington and Choc-
taw, which is almost certain. if there
is a late fall.
This is the opinion of w. l.. Pryor,
expert weevil man of the department
of agriculture at Washington, who is
. here to take up with the state officers
the first work of elimination.

DEFRAUDED MERCHANTS
OF SMALL sums OF MONEY
Worked Clever SwindIe Game on Peo-
Pile of Mississippi, Tennessee, Ala
bama and Louisiana Doing Profita-
BILE Business.
Special to The Net0s.

SptCtut W ltC NCWos
Jackson, Miss, Aug. 18.-Detective
w. ]. Ligonn of Jackson has just run |
down man who has been working a |
swindle game in Tennessee, Alabama,
Mississippi and Louisiana. When
here last he gave the name of Hunter
Bailey, and was travelling for an At
lanta house.
Bailey has operated under numer-
GUS aliases, and used the Lippencott
Company of Philadelphia to defraud
merchants of small sums of money
He operates in Mississippi and Arkan-
sas recently, and when here about
two months ago, was arrested on in
formation by Gus Redmond, negro
| druggist, but proved an alibi.
After being acquitted, Bailey,
through his attorneys, w. j. Groom
and Girard Harris, entered suit
against Redmond for $4,000 for false
arrest and Imprisonment. This case
is still pending in the Kinds county
court.
Mr.. Ligon, after Bailey's release
here, took the matter up for the Lip
pincotts, and has secured affidavits
and letters from several places identi-
flying Bailey under one of his numer-
Gus aliases.
The first of these affidavits is from
Ripley, Tenn, where Bailey worked
his game on A. j. Williams, signing
the contract as c. H. Brown. A pho
to of Bailey, sent to Mr.. Williams, is
positively identified as : picture of
Brown.
He spent one day at the Hotel Bent
ley, Alexandria, about a year ago,
registering in the Louisiana city as
C. w. Bradford, according to Manager
j. F. Letten, of the norei.
J At Cotton Plant, Ark, Bailey sold
another contract under the name OF
William Howard.
November %, 1909, Bailey, under
the name of c. w. Hackett, the same
alias he used in Jackson, sold books
to Turner & Carter at Okolona.
Again, at Cotton Plant, Ark, Bailey
under the name of c. w. Davis, sold
books toss. R. Cowan & Son.
At Altheimer, Ark, he worked
again under the name of C. H. Davis
He sold two bills there, and made his
= collections as usual.
Bailey, claiming to representing the
: Lippincotts, would make a contract
/ for books with merchants, collect
? about 500 on each contract, and de
: part. The books, which were to be
: shipped at some future date, never
appeared, and Bailey never went bach
< to renew his contract.
E Coming to Jackson, he sold Red
j. mond the exclusive contract for hand
/ ling school books, for which he paid
i $40, later cashing draft for Bailey
: who disappeared. This was last year
and early in the summer, when Bailey
came here as the representative of al
Atlanta house, Redmond had him ar
rested.
, Bailey proved an alibi and was re
| leased. He remained in the city sew
eral days, and before his departur,
had his attorneys enter suit agains
Redmond for $4,000.

The Elective Judiciary.

The speaker said the law giving
the selection of judges into the hands
of the governor was made to suit con-
ditions prevailing at the time it was
adopted, but was dangerous in this
day and time. He believed the peo-
pie, the source of all power should
be allowed to choose their judges by
direct vote, thus eliminating the pos
sibiblity of the creation of strong po-
litical machines and the baking of
justice, which had been the case in
some instances. He thought the ap-
pointive power might be easily abused
and the peoples interests suffer there
by.

GOOD QUALITIES Of BANTAM
Though Kept for Pets They Do Lay
Eggs and They Are Most Delicious
for the Table.

A bantam biddy has apparently
large ideas about her relative impor-
tance, but the bantam male that
doesn't strut around as though he felt
as big as an elephant is sick In good
health he never fails to appear as
important looking as a village police
man, says writer in Fancier's Month
ly. And are not his little, dainty, de-
mure wives just the most cunning bits
OF feathered life in all the poultry
world? OF course, they are. One can
not look at a housekeeping bantam

SO very small, seem so very wise and
old and at the same time so pert and
sancy, that nothing will so quickly and
entirely captivate boy or lady
that has any inclination for pets as
will the bright little bantam
Many a poultry fancier now grown
gray-haired and aged, can look back
to the day long ago when he first
owned flock of bantams and wished
for nothing more on earth to fill the
measure of his youthful delight There

is pretention that bantams are profit
able and it pays to keep them for
their eggs, etc, etc. But this is but a
miserable trucking to the almighty
dollar. 1t may be, and doubtless is, a
fact that bantams are valuable fowls
to keep solely for profit, considering
the small amount OF food they con-
sumo, but it Is as pets that they are
generally bred, and miserly indeed
must be he who would grudge the lit
tie beauties their daily birdlike re-
past.
Nevertheless, bantams, though kept
for pets, do lay eggs-just as good if
not as big as those of the larger breed,
and their flesh, though it seems wick
ed to kill them for the table, is de-
licious. So they can justly claim a
practical value aside from mere ap-
pearances which are so much in their
favor that one does not stop to inquire
do they pay?"
The very prettiest sight, without ex-
ception, that we have ever seen in the
line Of thoroughbred poultry was a
large collection of bantams, number
ing one hundred and fifty, all in one
flock, OF half dozen varieties, and
puzzling us to tell which was the most
cute and beautiful birding in the lot

WAY OF FATTENiNG TURKEYS
Roam at Will Over Small Grain,
Glover and Corn Fields.

have had good deal of experience
in rearing turkeys. By giving the
flock good attention l seldom lose any.
The birds have free range at all times,
as they are Of a roaming disposition
and won't do we'll In close confine-
ment. / feed twice daily; in the
morning wheat, sunflower seed, buck
wheat and some kind of cooked
vegetable; in the evening whole corn,
writes Anna S. Lembke of Cass coun-
ty, Iowa, in Orange Judd Farmer Dur
ing the day the birds wander at will
over the small grain, clover and corn
fields. In the former two they get a
large quantity of insects and in the
latter more or less vegetable food In
the wheat fields they also get consid-
cradle grain left after the crop is har-
vested When they are in the barn
yard give them all the skim milk and
buttermilk they will drink and supply
them plenty of coarse grit where they
have access to it at all times A pail
of slaked lime is also within reach
Plenty of fresh water is essential at
All times.
Some people pen their turkeys for
a few weeks before marketing, but
| find the birds do better if allowed to
run at large. There is no danger Of
overfeeding by this method 1t is
necessary, though, to see that they
get all they will eat up clean. At this
time l feed boiled potatoes and scald-
ed corn meal, but never much oats, on
account Of the hulls. A few weeks be-
fore marketing, when the birds begin
to take on fat rapidly and many times
don't care to come home, then l give
them such appetizers as boiled rice,
clabber and cheese. l never house the
turkeys, but let them roost in the
trees. The birds are SO tame they
will eat out Of my hands. They do
much better when treated in this kind
of way.
l examine them occasionally to see
how they are Pumping up. All that
have well filled breasts and are fat
are selected for the Thanksgiving
market The others are fed for the
Christmas batch. In order to have
good-sized birds for these two mar
kets, hatch as early in the spring as
possible, SO as to get the fowls well
matured and capable Of filling out
well. l have found the plan above to
be common sense in fattenfng. much
better than the feeding Sf highly con-
centrated food, which too often de.
ranges the digestive organs. It is
better to feed somewhat too little than
TO overdo the thing.

BABI'S SKIN TORTURE

when our baby was seven weeks
old he broke out with what we
thought was heat, but which gradually
grew worse. We called in doctor.
He said it was eczema and from that
time we doctored six months with
three Of the best doctors in Atchison
but be only got worse. His face, head
and hands were a solid sore. There
was no end to the suffering for him.
We had to tie his little hands to
keep him from scratching. He never
knew what it was to sleep well from
the time he took the disease until he
was cured. He kept us awake all
hours of the night and his health
wasn't what you would call good. We
tried everything but the right thing.
Finally I got a set Of the Cuticura
Remedies and I am pleased to say
we did not use all Of them until he
was cured. We have waited year
and half to see if it would return
but 1t never has and to-day his skin
is clear and fair as 1t possibly could
be. l hope Cuticura may save some
one else's little ones suffering and
also their pochet-books. John Leason.
