The excessive dampness that was in
vogue during the past month of roses
put somewhat of a damper on the re
ceipts of the city's hall of justice.
The total amount of $5l9.2O and 90
days was assessed against offenders.
This is not SO awful bad, and it is
passing strange it didn t total more,
considering the amount of bug house

be accounted for by the cool tempera-

DISCOVERED BY A JEFFERSON
COUNTY FARMER.
KEROSENE OIL KILLS PESTS
A Few Drops of Liquid Will Do the
Work.-Negro Catches and Destroys
Fayette.

Mr. J. j. Gordon, a business man of
Fayette has discovered the champion
boil weevil catcher in the state, in 4
negro farmer residing in Jefferson
county near that town.
On six acres of cotton this negro,
who is following instructions of boil
weevil experts, recently caught 1000
of the cotton pests, which he put in a
fruit jar and carried to Fayette to
exhibit.
This negro is one of the thrifty far
mers of that section, and believes in
making everything count against the
boil weevil He worked inlustriOusly
to harvest the first crop of the pest
and made a aea2 haul
1t is estimated that this negro, by
catching these weevils, practically de-
stroyed a quarter of million of the
pests. Taking the expert S statement
of their capacity for multiplying, by
August !, it is estimated that these
1000 weevils would have had line OF
descendants numbering full 100000.
A quarter of a million weevils would
soon have wiped out the six acres of
| cotton, but the field is now fairly free
of the pest, and the negro is keeping
close watch on the pest to see that
| they don get too numerous again.
| After catching the weevils this negro
| took up all the fallen and punctured
squares, which he burned, thus destroy
! ing the larva and cutting short as fine
| a crop of boil weevil as ever threaten
| ed a few acres of cotton in any state.
When the weevils were carried to
Fayette in jar, a few drops of kero-
sene oil were poured into the jar, xii
ling every one of them. This is the
first liquid discovered that viii kill the
cotton pest. but it completely wiped
out the entire 1000 in a few minutes
Mr.. Gordon, who was in Jackson on
| business, lid not give the negro s
name, but he says the man has done
great deal toward wiping out the
pest on the land he cultivates. It Is
rather tedious procedure, but it Is
a method of fighting the weevil that
will more than pay for the time ex-
pended in catching them-Jacksor

OF SATURDAY, JULY 2, 1870
The Great River Race between the
Natchez and Robt. E. Lee.-The Lee
45 Minutes Ahead when She Passed
GreenVille.
The Great Race.

The Lee ahead 40 minutes Last
night the entire population of Green
vile sat up to witness the greatest
steamboat race Of any time, between
the Natchez and R. F. Lee. For sew
eral days past this approaching con
test has been the talk on every street
corner, and every occasion; and when
the Thompson Dean passed up yes
terday morning with $50 cords of pine
knots for the Natchez, and the Par
goud came i'll with a like amount for
the Lee, the excitement grew intense,
and the betting wild
The foremost boat was expected
about a. m, giving her 81 hours
from New Orleans, distance of SAT
miles. At half past one when We re-
paired to the wharfboat, we found a
motley crowd aboard discussing steam
boats with a volubility that would
have astonished a Portuguese. Had a
stranger happened in that crowd, ig-
norant of its object, he would have
thought everybody had gone demented
on the subject. At about a. m. the
Henry Ames passed down, and shortly
after we heard the whistle Of an as
cending boat meeting her below the
point. In the excitement existing
there was great uncertainty as to what
boat it was, as there was diversity of
desire; at length her lights became Wis
ible, and with a rapidity that could
be equalled by no other boat on the
river besides her competitor, the cham
pion r. f. Lee drew near. At 80 min
utes past a. m. she fred a gun oppO-
site the wharfboat which was respond
ed to by pistol shots AM cheers from
a crowd now wildly excited. The smoke
of the Natchez was alrea ly in sight,
and at II minutes past she blew for
Greenville and landed for moment
only, asking how far ahead was the
Lee. We could hear little as to the
race below this point. The odds are
largely in favor Of the Lee, yet the
Natchez had no idea of succumbing.
From her we learned that the Lee
took down the horns of the Princess,
and we suppose that the Lee has beer
ahead from the jump. Neither boat
had landed since leaving New Or
leans except the touch of the Natchez
here. In addition to the 40 minutes
the Lee was ahead here must be added
the time it viii take the Natchez to
get her light wood from the Thompson
Dean, the Lee having already got hers
from the Pargoud below here We will
hear full particulars from the Era
which viii be up tomorrow, and in the
meantime the betting can continue
Taken for all in all, this race is an
event in the history of steamboats,, and
for the next hundred years it viii be
a theme of fruitful interest on the
river.
