Hon. Earl Brewer, next Governor of

Clarksdale yesterday after having been
one Of the judges at the parade of arts
and industries. Mr.. Brewer seems un-
der the impression that those. are mis-
taken who think that he will re sena-
'orial candidate against Williams at the
close of the next gubernatcrial term.
Il am seriously thinking, he said to
Commercial Appeal Reporter. 'of en-
bodying in my inaugural address a
statement that shall never again be a
candidate for Office.
'Of course, when made the first race

THE ARMY WORM
IS A GOD-SfND.
| So Declares a Prominent Sunf|oWer County
Cotton Planter.

One of the largest cotton planters oi
Sunflower county, in writing the staunch
firm of McShane Cotton Company, OF
this city, advances an idea concerning
the invasion of the army worm that is
we'll worth giving credence to. This
gentleman declares the army worm a
God send on account of the destructive
effects these worms will haze on the
boil weevil pest.
The Messrs. McShane have kindly
written the following to The Common
wealth concerning this new theory,
which we gladly publish for what it is
worth:
Editor The Commonwealth:
Anovel idea has been presented anent
the army worm.
OIe of the largest planters in Sun
Il over Comfy advances the theory tn 1t
the army worm is God-send because
the damage he will do the cotton will
be small compared to what he will do
to the boil weeviI.
The weevil lives off of the cotton
plant solely, and does not go into hi
bernation until after frost and the
army worm has stripped the stalks of all
foliage and immature fruitage, hence
the poor boil weevil will die Of starva-
tion.
We have put this rather crudely from
lack of expert knowledge, but it seems
to us, if true, the biggest thing out for
Delta Country. We vouch for the story
told above, but can't guarantee that it
will all come true.

He left the road as a com
mercial traveller about ten
years ago to enter the min

been marvellous.
He asks that all denomi.

Killed Over Dispute in Game

1t can always be traced down to the
crap game, tiger booze, OF ''another's af-
tinity", when the negroes of the unruly
kind whip out their knives or gums to
advantage.
Such was the case last Monday when
Thornton Gibson and George Hamer
were gaming at the head of Pelucia
Bayou where the Steamer Choctaw was
tied mp between trips Gibson claimed
that he was 'bit" in Hamer's half, and
declined to tab, and then negro sass
began to flow freely. AS they were
starting up the landing-the fuss ap-
parently having been settled-Hamer
caught Gibson by tne shirt, and as the
latter turned, Hamer stabbed him six
times, and his death was instantaneous.
Hamer attempted to flee, but was ar
rested by s. B. Whitman who delivered
him into the custody of the sheriff. On
the following day he was arraigned by
County Attorney Gillespie before Judge
Montgomery and preliminary hearing
was had. Hamer was remanded TO jail
without bail to await tie action of the
grand jury.

Efforts to Secure II.

According to the Jackson News OF the
25sh inst. the people of Itta Bena and
vicinity want a better mail service on
the Webb branch of the Southern Rail-
way. The News has the following to
say about the proposition, and we hope
that the Postoffice Department will ac-
quiesce in the wishes of the people in
terested:
"The merchants and business men of
Itta Bena, having won their point in the
matter of double daily service on the
Webb Branch, are now eLdeayoring to
get additional mail facilities. A strong
petition has been sent to proper aut thori-
ties. The complaint is that there is no
mail clerk on either of these branches,
and the mail has to be made op into in
dividual pouches fc the stations along
the lines, and on the lower end of the
Belzoni line mail has to be sent around
by Moorhead to be routed from there" !"
