WAR ON BOIL WEEV|L
 IS ACTIVELY WAGED
Government Experts Are As sisting Mississippi Farmers
EARLY ACTION NEEDED
Prof. Wilson Urges Farmers to Plant Cotton Early and to Use Special Pains in Killing weevfIs
 as They Hatch

Jackson. Miss, October 2e.-(Spe- eiaI)-Those two-score of men who are employed by the United States gov ernment in assisting the farmers of Mississippi in the battle against the i boil weevil and other enemies of cot ton are still in session at the senate . chamber and have discussed every phase of the situation, the experts sent out from Washington being the prin- cipal speakers, and the local men In their employ as demonstrators in the several counties telling of their ex- periences and the results that have fol- lowed their teachings.
 Professor Wilson, in charge of the work in this state, generally. was one !. of the speakers this morning, telling of the necessity of an early and contin- uous fight. He insists that early plant ing is essential and that the weevils first appearing in the spring must be killed. The young squares the wee wills puncture must be gathered up and burned and the old stalks must be burned at the close of the cotton sea- son. This Is the burden of the song Of all the experts, and they declare that where their directions have been close ly followed farmers have made half or better crop, while their neighbors. who did not follow directions, made anothing worth while to pick
 Among those present was Hon. J.. Hiram McGehee, former member of the Mississippi senate from Franklin coun- ty where the Weeyil has been busy three or four years, and where he has played havoc. MT. McGehee declared that he had made half crop of cot ton this year by following instruc- tions of the demonstrators. while his next-door neighbors had made prac- fically nothing. He was convinced that if all the farmers around him had fought the weevil as he had done, at an expense of about s4 per acre, they would all have made from half to three-fourths of an average crop. MT. McGehee declared that the cold weather did not kill the weevils last winter; that he had gone into fields where the cattle had not eaten down the cotton the day after the freeze, opened old bolls and found five or six of the pests working around as lively as crickets. He had also noticed that they showed up on every clod as soon as spring blowing begun, even in Feb ruary, and attacked the plant as soon as the leaves began to form.
 The consensus of opinion seems to be that there is no way of getting entirely

THEY ACTUALLY
 DO THE WORK
Food Eaten is Worthless Unless Di- gested--Some St0machs Must Have Help.


 Food taken. into the Stomach which, from the nature of the food or the con dition of the stomach, Is not digested, Is worse than no food at all This Is true statement as far as 1t goes and a great many dyspeptics go only this far with their reasoning. They argue with them selves that because their stomachs do not do the work given them, they must be given less work; in other words, as sensible for business man who is unable to do all his own work to cut down his business to his own capacity as 1t is for a man to starve himself to relieve his stomach The sensible bus insss man employs help and goes for ward with his business. Likewise the sensible dyspeptic will employ help for his stomach and give his body proper nourishment.
 Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets actually do the work assigned to them. They re- lieve weak and overburdened stomachs of great portion of digestive action. Their component parts are identical with those of the digestive fluids and secretions of the stomach and they sim- ply take up the grind and carry on the work just the same as a good. strong. healthy stomach would do it. On this account Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are perfectly natural in their action and effects. They do not cause any unnatural or violent disturbance in the stomach or bowels. They them selves digest the food and supply the system with all the nourishment con tained in what Is eaten and carry out Natures plans for the sustenance and maintenance of the body.
 How much more sensible is this method than that employed by many sufferers from weak stomachs. By this means the body and brain get all the good, nutritious food they need and the man Is properly nourished and equipped to carry on his work and per form his duties. He could not possibly be in proper working condition by starving himself or employing some new tangled. insufficient food that does not contain enough nutriment for a year old baby. A strong man doing strong work must be properly fed and this applies to the brain as we'll as the body. .N Stuart's Dypspsia Tablets, by reliev- ing the stomach of it's work. enable 1t to recuperate and regain its normal health and strength. Nature repairs the worn and wasted tissues just as she heals and knits the bone of a broken limb. which is of course not used during the process of repair. Stuart's Dypepsia Tablets are for sale by all druggists at 50 cents Q box and they are the one article that the druggist does not try to sell something in the place of that's just az good. Their unqualified merit and success and the universal demand for them has placed them within the reach, of ev- -eryone. TfsAsfs ysyssh '11E

rid of the weevils, but that it pays hand sonely to fight them early and late, ac- cording to the rules laid down by the government men who have spent year's s studying the proposition.
 Report on Cattle Tick
 Governor Noel has received a report of the meeting of federal and state author ities in charge Of the cattle tick eradlca- ton work at Tupelo few days since. At tfds conference pr. Curtis and Dr. Kier- nan represented the bureau of animal in- dustry of the department of agriculture at Washington while Professor Hutchin- son and Dr. Lewis looked after the in- terests of the state. The inspectors em- ployed in the several counties were in at tendance and the situation was gone over very thoroughly.
 Most of the work was reported as progressing very favorably.'' says the governor, but in some instances and To- calities few individuals have set them selves up against both the federal and the state governments. hoping, perhaps, to escape conviction through sympathy of juries. Those people will be dealt with, If need be, in both state and fed eral courts, with separate charge for each resistance or interference with the officers, or for violation of the law No good or sensible man should set up his Judgment or whims against state and federal officers and laws, and those who do will be taught a lesson that will pre- vent and deter like examples.
 As a general thing says the gover- nor, the people of Mississippi recognize the great benefits that will follow the eradication of the tick and the suppress sion of Texas fever, for this work will make Mississippi one of the best and most profitable cattle growing sections of the union. Cordial cooperation has been generally given to state and federal au- thorities engaged in cattle and tick eradi- cation"

JUNGLE BILLY" IS 97

Russellville, October 29.-"Uncle Billy" Kimbrough, who lives in Franklin county on Phil Campbell R. F. D. No. l. prob ably has the record and reputation of be- ing the oldest man now living in Alabama who was born and reared in the same county that he now resides in.
 MT. Fimbrough was born on Cedar creek, near the place known as the old Crit Allen homestead, about five miles south of Russellville. on July B. 1874, and should he live until July 5, 1911, he will have reached his ninety-seventh year, all of which has been spent on the hills and
 in the valleys of Franklin county. MT. Kimbrough has a very vivid recollection of the first iron furnace which was ever erected in Alabama, it being near Rus sellville, and his "reminiscences of the stic.
 He was for several years one of the most widely known Methodist ministers in the county. but for the past few years his age has caused him to cease all ac- tive work in this line. Despite the fact that MT Kimbrough is very hard of hear ing he is yet in good health and still talks very entertainingly of his days spent in this part of the state. MT. Kimbrough has been married twice and is the father of eleven children, all having died with the exception of his oldest son. who lives out in a western state, and his youngest daughter. Mrs. Fuller, with whom he has made his home for several years. MT.

Berlin. Oct. 29.--There Is persistent
rumor in financial circles today that
a revolution has broken out In Athens.
Telegraphic inquiries sent to the Gre
clan capital this afternoon have elected
no response.
There has been much Ill feeling at
Athens recently against the national
assembly, eliminating in the dissoiu-
ton Of that body last Tuesday.
The assembly was especially elected
for the purpose of undertaking a re-
vision Of the constitution. At the re-
quest Of King George, NJ. Venezelos,

on October Is. The ministry was not
received In friendly spirit by tho
chamber, the members OF which re-
peatedly absented themselves when
Premier Venezelos attempted to secure
a vote Of confidence.
Opposed to the recent assembly was
the ministry cordially supported by the
king and the pop ilace. The Litter have
recently made f'iendly manifesto lions
toward the king and the government
and criticised the assembly, though no
serious disorders have occurred at the
capital. so far as is definitely known
