SENATOR B|LBOIS ABLE ID THROW MUD Comes Back at Henry With Violent Letter and Also

Jackson. Miss, July -(SpeciaL)-State Senator Theodore c. Bilbo, candidate for lieutenant governor on the Vardaman ticket, who was very severely beaten by l. J. Henry. general agent of the New Orleans. Mobile and Chicago Railroad company. at Starkvile last week, and brought down to Jackson on a special train. as a grandstand play, say his op- ponents, has sufficiently recovered to write an open letter to the people of Mississippi giving his version of what he terms a "cowardly attempt to assas- sinate' him and the incidents of the po- litical campaign leading thereto.
 MT. Bilbo takes the position that what he said about MT. Henry was no more than he deserved for the reason that he, (Henry). had circulated a villainous let ter about him-a letter that had no name attached and the imprint of no printing office, so that it's origin could not be traced.
 The letter put out by Senator Bflbo is : one->of the warmest documents ever cir culated in Mississippi. and he does not

"Is it not time to organize Auduhon societies all over the country? Asked J. E. Beal. l make this observation be cause of the recent agitation of the problem in the south of how to get rid of the boil weevil. How to grow cot ton in spite of the boil weevil Is a sub ject that has been much discussed in the cotton growing states. It has been suggested that the way 10 grow cotton successfully Is to burn all stalks before frost, or before October 15, and other absurd advice has been offered. As a matter of fact, less than half the cot ton Is picked before October 15 and would not burn at this time unless dried. My experience has been, that the best way to raise cotton success fully, Is to plant only the best land in cotton and make the rest of the land good with live stock, crop ratons, and efficient preparation-such methods as have been used in Ohio. for instance where cheap lands have been made worth $50 10 s250 an acre by bull
 ing up system instead of the wreck ing cnston; common to all cotton coun- tries.

Progressives and Democrats
Say They Will Block Plan

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-One OF
the most acrimonious fights ever seen
In congress developed today over the
Taft-Hitchcock plan to increase the
postage rate on magazines. when the
publishers received promises from
enough progressive Republican and
Democratic senators TO insure sue
cessful fllibuster against the measure.
The openly announced plan to Talk
the bill to death" means holding up
the whole postofflce appropriation bill
and that means an extra session.
The bitterness develops through the
intense feeling of President Taft and
Postmaster-General Hitchcock against
magazines which have severely criti.
cised and "Muckraked" the admins
tration. On the part OF the publish
ers the move is taken as a personal
effort by Taft to punish them, and
they are resenting It In personal fash
ion. II has become q battle without
quarter.
II Is known that Taft will continue
to recommend the increase as long as
he In in office, IL IL is defeated at this
session. The administration has
started an inquiry by the district at.

prosecuting the magazines as a trust.

announced today that 100 periodical
publishers have pledged themselves
to contribute $1,000 each TO a fund to

for opposing the pending measure.

the magazines are making huge profits
and he also declared that II the In

Everybody's will be wiped out Of ex-

"No magazine OF our type" said
Mcclure, earns so adequate return

cost OF editorial matter used. Some
Of the series OF special articles repre-
sent an outlay OF from $4,000 to $780,

iauitous Increase would be nothing
less than forcing us to spend more
