Aeain the Boil NeeviI.

Says the Centerville Jeffersoniana
which is published ID locality
that suffered greatly through the
boil weevil:
Several of our exchanges edi-
torially announce that the recent
freezing weather has effectually' de-
stroyed the boil weeviI. In max
ing such statements they convey a
wrong impression and thereby do
ing the farmers great wrong. The
cold may have killed some Of the
boil weevils but there will be
enough live ones to inJure crops
this year as much as. they did last
year and perhaps more.
This is, perhaps, an extreme
view, though its adoption by
cotton growers in the Centerville
territory would be far less liable
to cause their injury. than its re-
lection. Fortunately. the question
of the effect of the first severe win
ter weather in five years will be
tested in time to determine plant
ing policies. There will. it is as
sumed, be diligent Investigation of
boil weevil Information throughout
the winter by those interested and
close watch for the early emergen-
Icies Of the pest. Nor is it too late
for the work of destruction. For
instance: A planter in the lower
end of this county was engaged,
after the frst freeze, in clearing
up a wood thicket at the edge Of
This field. Sitting down by burn
ling log he noticed a thawed out
boil weevil crawling up his leg.
His investigation has convinced
lhim that all alternating on the
stalks. in the fields. had been frozen
I to death. while those that were bet
ter sheltered under stumps and logs
bordering the cleared lands were
not. Now, he thought. was the
time to burn out such winter quar-
ters. In this connection reference
is made to the letter of Mr.. Thos.
Searles. relating the experience of
Mr.. James Harper. Of jefferson
lcounty Vickbsurg Herald.

Come Out In he lnan.

Under the above heading the
Memphis Scimitar says:
The good people of Mississippi
have a way of doing things to suit
themselves They don't always
relish interference or outside sug-
gestions. It has seemed to suit
their representatives III the Legis-
lature to proceed with the selection
|of a Senator BY secret ballot. This
doesn't have a very fair appear
ance. It will strike the outsider,
who, Of course. has nothing to do
with the case, as not doing the
right thing BY the people Of the
State. There should be voting
viva voce, on the call of the roll.
There have been q few stalking sus-
picions that some influences which
have no business IN a State capitol
are at work We are not prepared
to say yea Or nay to the accuracy Of
these runors. but the best way Of
graft or corruption Of chicanery TO
do things IS through The secret bal
lot. just what objection the Leg
islature can find I'd deny the people

The NlYliIed Dead.

1t has been many years since the
people Of Mississippi have witness.
ed such resurrection Of the dead
as .exempIifed by the horde Of
politicians which have emerged
from their crypts to assemble at
jackson, to wrangIe, to intrigue
and to trade over the Senatorial
succession. Many years ago the
primary election law consigned
these worthless to the limbo of OBJ
Ilivion and this is the first oppor-
tunity which has presented itself
since the enactment Of that most
salutary measure for the proIes-
sional politicians to demonstrate
that he has not forgotten his pc
culiar ways and vain tricks. Among
the number who think the occasion
is big with the fate of Cato and
of Rome are noticed many
familiar pulwires. pipelayers and
log rollers of the old convention
epoch. men who, ia a large meas.
ure, welded the political destinies
of the State, and by whom and
through whom the candidate must
get the nomination. They have
bobbed up serenely once more and
are endeavoring to manipulate the
legislature as once they manipulate
led the convention. What theil
maneuvering will accomplish re-
mains to be unfolded. They have
multiplied candidates, many ol
whom are hopeless impossibilities,
to create fusion and confusion.
Whether they will succeed in their
designs Of defeating Vardaman By
such means will be determined in
the very near future.
The recrudescence of the old.
timers, with their combines. in
trigues, trades and trickeries, is an
object lesson that should be careful-
Iy studied by the people of the
State, the deduction from which is
a deep sense of gratitude to the
primary election law which put
them out of commission and harm 1
way. All sort Of pressure will be
brought to bear by them ON the
weak -kneed and wayering to swing
them into line against the choice
of the people, the latter being the
peculiar and particular aversion OF
the advocates Of the convention.
Should they succeed in setting aside
the will Of the people the consola-
tion remains that when the oppor-
tunity presents itself in 1911, the
rebuke merited will be admins
tered and the peoples choice tri-
umphantly elected. despite their
eoffrts to the contrary. Crystal

Necessary to a choice, 81.


The situation has settled down
into one of waiting expectancy and
watchfulness. Each of the weaker
candidates is striving to hold his
small following under his standard.
hoping that when the break comes,
by some accident or fortuitous
turn, he will fall heir to the
Strength of the others and become
the nominee. Vardaman and his
supporters are standing firm and
hopeful. having every confidence
that when the elimination of the
weaker candidates begins. he will
be the second choice of enough of
their supporters to insure him the
nomination,
Next Tuesday, the 18th. is the
day fixed by law when each house
of the Legislature will have to take
a viva voce vote for Senator at IL
O'Clock M. If no candidate then
receives majority Of both houses,
they will have to meet IN joint ses-
sion at IL o'clock every legislative
day thereafter and cast one viva
voce vote for Senator until some
one is elected or the session comes
to a close.
The daily vote taken in this way
will not necessarily do away with
the caucus, and the caucus sessions
may go on after Tuesday, as nows
if a choice is not made on or before
Tuesday.
There is good deal of specula-
tlon as to what changes. if any, a
viva vote will show, in the caucus
vote where every ballot is secret,
and every legislator can cast his
ballot without disclosing who he is
voting for. Next Tuesday, when
his name is calIed.8 every member
will have to vote in the open.
The editor of The Leader has
been around the secret caucus and
the hotel lobbies a good deal Of the
time taking notes since this sena-
torial contest began, and he is of
the opinion that if the plain people
throughout the State could see and
realize the tactics that are being
employed and the agencies at work
to control the choice Of the Legiis-
lature in the selection Of a senator
the wires being pulled and the
tricks being used, they would rise
up en- masse and demand of their
representatives at jackson that they
at once postpone the election of a
Senator and refer this question to
the Democratic voters of the whole
State in a Senatorial primary for
instructions.
To judge by the number of their
representatives in evidence, secret
and otherwise, the word has evi-

who has seen long service as a leg
isIator said the other day, II have
never yet seen a Democratic Legis-
lature in Mississippi that could be
bought; but I've never seen one yet
that couldn't be fooled. "
There is the rub there is the

allowed by Gov. Vardaman to copy
for publication, on condition that
we reserve the writer's name:

Dear Sir:-I have never voted

outset Of this senatorial contest,
my personal preference was for
Hon. C. H. Alexander, but at this

vinced that the money interests,

and all your opponents have entered
into a combination to elect any
body, just so they beat you.

"You may add my name to the
petition that went from this county
asking the Madison delegation to
vote for you, and if you do not win
out in this contest, you may count
on my support when you go before

The senatorial caucus adjourned
to meet again Friday afternoon at
3 o'clock.
The delay by the Legislature in
electing a senator is costing the
taxpayers of Mississippi from
$1,000 to $500 per day, for the Leg
islature is doing little else and will
do little else until the senatorial
contest is settled.
