Most of our residents have look
ed with pride and appreciation at
the two big and stalwart animals
that pull Brookhaven s fire wagon
pieces of horse flesh that would at
tract attention anywhere. even at
the biggest horse meets held in the
states or elsewhere.
These animals were purchased by
our City Fathers from Henderson
Il Turnbough for $495 90 out Of a
lot of animals that were shipped
here for miscellaneous sale and
after careful scrutiny by the men
at the head of the city's govern
ment.
They were not fire horses by any
means when they landed here, being
rather skittish and unbroken, but
as the fire company was just start
ing under similar conditions not
for lack of determination, but
wanting to get the best equipment
at nominal sum, they were bought
in.

Insurance Companies Refuse to Take
Policies on Silver Creek
Property.

jackson. Miss, Oct. 16.-Be-
cause three disastrous fires have
taken place in the community
within less than three years, each
of undoubted incendiary origin,
and involving an aggregate loss of
over $3.50, 600. the fire insurance
companies doing business in Mis-
sissippi have declined to write any
more risks in the little town of
Silver Creek. in Lawrence county,
The last two conHagrations follow
ed within two weeks of each other,
wiping out practically all of the
business district, and citizens of
the community are convinced that
"a band of incendiarists are at
work, determined to wipe the en-
tire town out of existence.
The last blaze occurred ten days
ago and destroyed the Nelson Hotel
and four other buildings The in
surance companies have suffered
heavily ASA result of the three
fires, and do not care for any fur
ther risks in that community.

Cure for the Boil WeeviIs discovered

jackson. Miss. Oct. 23.-F. C..
Cole of near Mendenhall, Simpson
county. is confident he has a cure
for the boil weeviI. In May Mr..
Cole planted his experimental patch
of half an acre in cotton. He
planted the section Of the boil,
seed, Int and all three feet apart.
being particular to note that there
were no signs of boil weevil in the
pod, That is the secret, so far as
he will reveal it at this time. Mr..
Cole declares that tie gathering
and burning OF cotton stalks does
no good, for the simple reason that
the weevils are not in the stalks.
They are in the hull that covers the
cotton seed. Mr.. Cole shows the
eggs of the weevils. The weeviI
egg is deposited in the hull. or
shell Of the boil. and Mr.. Cole
claims that when cotton stalks are
knocked down and dragged up for
burning the hull drops off on the
grouEd and escapes the burning.
Mr.. Cole brought to jackson, and
proved by witnesses. that his sam
pie stalks of cotton were an average
from his experimental patch. The
stalk showed about fifty bolIs Of as
fine cotton as was ever seen, and
yet it grew within eighteen feet of
cotton that was literally eaten up
by weeviIs, samples of which also
were shown.
The idea is that seed free Of
weeviIs must be planted, and that
great care must be observed in
their selection. even should they
come from districts in which there
are no weeyiIs.
The stalks shown here BY Mr..
Cole were of cotton that would
make three-fourths OF bale per
acre. He got the seed for this
experimental patch from region
where there are no weevils. He
planted the whole lock three feet
apart and doctored it after it came
up. More Of his secret lies ID the
medicine that was given the young
plants.

even if correctly quoted. Mr..
Brewer made no such statement.
While Mr.. Brewer has given no

of Mr.. Brewer that he will in all

ch-Bishop Keane
on Strike Situation

1t is unfortunate that men who
have local interest allow the ire
sponsible to secure control. They
do that by neglecting to attend
meetings and to elect the conserva-
tive and careful to Office, " said
Most Rev. James ]. Keane, arch-
bishop Of Dubuque, in an interview
last night at the home of Rev
Father j.. j HaBiey. when asked
his opinion on the strike of the
Illinois Central Railway shopmen.
II am exceedingly sorry that the
men have been persuaded to go
out." he continued, as | know
from a very thorough canvass Of
the situation through the West,
where the matter is being agitated,
that the vast majority of them
were not in favor of it. Not only
do the men neglect to elect to Office
the conservative and careful. but
by their lnattention to the interests
of the unions they permit the radi-
cal element to advocate and strive
for the introduction of impractical
principles which are unjust to vest
ed interests of unionism.
Some of the matters at issue in
the present strike are radical. SO
radical. indeed, that it is difficult
to see how the railroad company
can yield without capitulating.
They demand. as an instance. that
time of service and not merit must
determine whether a man is to be
promoted or not; secondly. that a
mans personal record should not at
all influence those who are to en-
ploy him: and. thirdly. that the
entire body should be made TO
suffer in order to promote the pre-.
sumed interests of a particular
craft.
i believe in unionism: / believe
that men nave q perfect right to
unite to protect their interests.
just as capital combines to promote
its interests. Men have perfect
right to wage which will be
sufficient TO support their families
in comparative comfort and to
make some provision, provided they
be economical and industrious. for
the morrow. But the good which
unionism serves to promote cannot
possibly justify the introduction
into the practical conduct of union
ism Of principles which are unjust.
! fear that some Of the principles
with which they are contending are
such, and believe that the
superior minded, upon delibera-
tion. will have the courage to re-
pudiate what is wrong and to

short time q ooodly number Of men
who have local interests will have
