 "Wait-walt, generaly' exclaimed the lady. Let mo give you some cold wa ter"
 No, thank you, ma'am." said the general, continuing to drink.

 "No wonder you cant, ma'am," said Jackson. "I am scalding. myself"
 But, sir, why do you''-

JACKSON CONSTABLES
RAID BLIND tigers

Jackson, Miss, Nov. S.-Constables
from Judge ]. M. Cades court have ar
rested seven alleged blind tigers. re-
covering at the time a lot of whiskey
and beer, and these cases will come
up for trial before Judge Cade We'd
nesday.
All are negroes, and in nearly every
case, the liquor was buried in the
back yard or garden. The constables,
armed with shovels. scooped down
upon the alleged tigers Saturday night
and took seven into custody.
Then followed tip given several
days previous. The constables were
told that whiskey and beer were buried
in certain gardens, and, after getting
proof on some of them, raided the
gardens, digging among the vegeta-
ton, with the result that large guam
tity of the stuff was found.
Some of these places had been under
suspicion for some time, and when
other places were raided down town,
people had to rely upon these places,
which were in the outskirts of the
city, for a supply of drinkables. It
was by following some of the "regu-
lar" patrons that the constables were
able to locate some of the places.

WILL TRY TO PRODUCE
COTTON THAT BCLL
WEEVIL WON'T TOUCH
Novel Experiment VIII be Attempted
by the state Through the A. &
M. College.

Jackson, Miss, Nov. S.-The state Of
Mississippi, through the Agricultural
& Mechanical College, will endeavol
to breed variety of cotton that will
Withstand the ravages of the boil
weevil. This was decided upon at
the meeting of the trustees here last
week when it was decided to estab.
lish new department for this pur-
pose.
The weevil is spreading rapidly over
the state, and President j. S. Sexton
and his fellow trustees regard it as
one of the duties of the A. & M. Col
lege, through one of the several ex-
pertinent stations, to solve this prob
lem for the farmers. With this object
in view, they will engage an expert,
whose duties it will be to experiment
with cotton and the weevil till he has
succeeded in breeding a variety of
cotton the boil weevil cannot destroy.
The man placed in charge of this
department will be given the cordial
support of the trustees and full CO.
operation of the faculty of the col
lege. Whether these experiments will
be conducted at one of the stations
already established, or at one of the
new ones to be located at the next
meeting of the trustees, is matter to
be determined. But that the expert
ment will be of value to the farmers
of the state there is no question in
the minds of the trustees.
Each member OF the board is a prac-
teal man, with some knowledge of
farming, and each one believes Missis-
sippi can solve the weevil problem,
if it is to be solved.
1t is the purpose of the trustees to
arrange all details and shape I'D the
new department in time to begin ex-
perimenting next year. Much has
been learned about the weevil the last
few years, and the man who takes
charge of the department will have
the advantage of past experience to
guide him in his work.
