have never known an Irishman,
however much he had, who would
not divide with a human being
whom he loved and had less than
he had.
An Irishman never gives the
power Of an attorney. An Irish
man is never diffiident, because
he is born with a degree Of conf
dence in himself and his extraction
which is clear, comprehensive and
all embracing. I never knew an
Irishman that would not help
somebody in distress, and / have
met many of them that would dis
tress people, too
There is no climate or country
in the world that can destroy the
good spirits of an Irishman. Irish
men have said more in short sen
tences than most people narrate- in
books. ..-
There is no need Of passing
much time in describing the Irish.
They admit it. There is no need
of telling a man what he has done
when he did it frst and did it in,
tentiOnally.
s'But the Irish race has stirred
more emotions in the human breast
than any other race that walks

the contest was so close that it
had to be decided by the execu-
tive committee, who finally decid-
ed in favor of his opponent. He
also made a canvass for Congress
and was only beaten by few
votes by one of the most popular
men in the county, and one who
had a large family influence, and
although he and his friends in
both cases felt that possibly he
had been WrOnged in both con-
tests, still he yielded with good
grace to the will of the majority
so expressed, and was never heard
to mulmer about this decision.
Feeling a great interest in the ed
ucatiOn of his children, and real
izing that Nashville had superior
advantages he decided to remove
his family to that place that his
children might have better scho-
lastic advantages afforded by that
city, and livel for the remaining
years of his life there
Only last year he visited in
Noxubee, and / had the pleasure
and honor of intert Gining him and
his hOnored brother, Professor
Jamison of BrOoksviIle in my
home. He seemed to be in perfect
health at that time, and promised
me that once year as long as he
lived he wouln repeat these Wis

close he was To the end. He was
striken with .sralysis en- the goth
of last May and gradually sank
until the end came; on Sunday af-

his wife and children and many
friends. Captain JamiSOn was an

that he was not -unprepared to

and giving 1-3 of the cotton and
IA Of the corn. If they need
anything those owning their
farms go to the bank and bor-
row money on their stock and
buy from whoever they please
and sell their cotton in the fall
to the highest bidder, and pay
the bank what they owe. Some
on Mr., Gibbs land borrow mon
ey or go to Mr.. Jim Simmons
and he advances them what they
need, but not what they want.
On the Trinity river there are
some large plantations owned by
w. L. Smith and others and are
worked entirely by negro labor
just like in the Mississippi delta.
Some work on shares, some rent
and some work for wages. And
most all of the Trinity river land
made a bale of cotton to the
acre last year and have a fine
crop this year, and the Trinity
river is worse harbor for boil
weevils than the Mississippi.
The south part of the county
around New Waverly is stiff
black land country and settled
mostly by Polander. These Po-
landers came there from the old
country since the war as immi-
grants and without money and
today they have pretty near the
whole country and a great many
are rich and all of them indepen-
dent raising boil weevil cotton.
They make everything at home
and their cotton is nearly all sur
plus. They have built a $40. 600
Catholic church and all own fine
horses and mules and the young
er generation put on American
style.
Land have doubled in value
and property of all kinds has
gone up and still going up.''
With such an example before
their eyes there is surely no oc-
casion for the planters and far
mers of Mississippi to lose heart
or to regard the advance of this
insect pest with panic. The
Weevils may prove a blessing in
disguise to those parts of this
state in which the lone crop"
idea prevails, while in others, as
Laude1dale county, where the
farmers are in a great measure
self sustaining, it may be re-
garded with equanimity, and its
coming will have no material eff
feet on the peace of mind or
prosperity Of the people affected.
The best remedy for the boil
weevil is the full smoke house
and corn crib.

Suit Filed Against BilbO.

Jackson, Miss. July 26-The
question of where State Senator
Theo. G. Bilbo of alleged bribery
fame, obtained the $645 which
he says was given him by Hon.
L. c. Dulaney, of Issaquena
county, as an inducement to
change his vote from Vardaman
to Percy, is to be made the sub
ject Of a judicial injury ir his
home county.
Claiming that the $645 was
Bilbo's own money, that he did
not receive it from Dulaney, and
that it should be turned over for
the payment of his just debts,
Messrs. Mounger & Mounger at
torneys, at Columbia, have filed
suit against Bilbo in the chancery
court of Pearl River county, ask
ing that the money in question
be paid over part settlement
of judgment in the sum of 500
which the attorneys hold against
him.
The First National Bank of
this city, and Sheriff R. J. Hard
ing of Kinds county, custodians
of the S645, are made cO-defend-
ants in the action. The money
was turned over to Col. Harding
after Bilbo exhibited it to the
grand jury, and that official later
deposited it in the First National
Bank.
That they can prove positively
that Bilbo did not get the money
from Dulaney, but received it
through another source, is the
claim made by the plaintiffs and
this gives to the litigation a state
wide interest, for it has all along
been contended by Dulaney's
friends and attorneys that, Bill
bo's story was a frame up, !"
devised for the express purpose
Of proving ex-Gov. Vardaman's
assertion that he had been un-
fairly defeated. .Twenty-nine of
the forty-fve members of the
state senate held this view when
they adopted a resolution de-
claring that Bilbo was prevari-
Gator, and unworthy to sit with
honest men. this action being
taken after the motions to expel
him had failed by just one vote,
a majority of two-thirds of ali
the members being necessary for
expulsion of colleague.
1t is evident, therefore. that
the books and accounts of the
Citizens Bank are going to play
a prominent part in the judicial
injury. Bilbo's cousin is cashier
of the institution, and his father
is it's vice-president. During the
senate investigation an effort
was made to get the bank Off
Gals to Jackson to give testomo-
ny, but they failed to respond to
the subpoena. In this instance.
however, the chancellor will
have full power to take possess
sion Of the book.
The Bank of Poplarville is the
plaintiff in action, represented
by Messrs. Mounger & Mounger.
Officials of the latter institution
say, that there is nothing political
in the suit; that they hold a
judgement against Bilbo for 500
and want their money,

about the boil weevil plague IN
Texas the first questions asked
is "why is Texas making more
cotton than ever lefore," says
the Meridian Star. Why are its
lands increasing in value, and
money and immigration pouring
into the state?" These ques-
tions are asked wonderingly IN
those sections Of Mississippi and
Louisiana in which the advent of
the weevil was long dreaded as
meaning ruin, and when it fin
ally appeared, caused complete
panic and decentralization, espe-
cially among the negroes, many
of whom promptly sold their
mules, cattle and other stock for
a song and left the country.
1t is interesting to read the
testimony of a reputable and re-
liable eye witness to the condi-
tions on the Texas weevil infest-
ed lands, and the following state
ment, made by Col. D. B. Pond,
a close student of boil weevil
conditions, will prove of interest
in all parts Of Mississippi which
are threatened by a similar in
vaSion.
Il will give you little history
of the boil weevil in Walker
county, Texas" says Col. Pond !:
Since 1902 up to the present
date the farmers of Walker
county were warned about the
boil weevil before they came but
went on in their old slip shod
ways and made no preparations
for their coming and were caught
IN bad fix. When they came
in 1902 all the farmers became
demoralized just like the planters
of Louisiana and Mississippi and
thought they were ruined for
ever and made nothing much in
1902 and 1908; and most of the
negroes and also whites went to
saw mills and public works to
make living. Mr.. w. S. Gibbs,
president of Gibbs National
Bank, saw the situation and
came to the farmers rescue, and
restored confidence in the county
by assisting them by sending as
far north as possible and getting
the king early prolific cotton
seed and selling to the farmers
at just what they cost him. and
the bank loaned the farmers
money at l per cent interest and
took chattle mortgages, payable
Dec. 1, 1904.
They made good crop of
corn and the farmers had learned
to live at home for the merchants
had shut down all credit and
they also made a good cotton
crop in 1904 and all of them paid
the bank and came out ahead
and realized that they We're bet
ter off than they ever were in
their lives and more independent
and since that time cleared land
in Walker county has been put
into cultivation and the county is
in better shape financially than
ever known and the farmers
more independent.
| have been asked about the
negroes. The negroes adopted
themselves to the boil weevil sit
uation as quick or quicker than
the white man and all are done
we'll and most of them indepen-
dent and making money. l will
give you little idea about the
darkies from Dodge, Texas, to
Huntsville, 8 miles east and
west and 10 miles north and
south. The country is settled up
entirely by negroes and not a
white living in that section. A
great many of them own their
little farms and stock and w. S.
Gibbs owns the balance and has
negro tenants on his land renting
