GET AT THE TRUTH.

IEl n LIZ a -
Four young men of this city have
been arrested for disturbing the peace.
The warrants were sworn out by the
city marshal upon complaint made by
residents.
The claim is that the young men, IN
comnany with about dozen others.
paraded the streets of the city week
ago last night. in an intoxicated con-
dition. pounding drum, using vile
language knocking on the doors OF pri-
yate residences and making such
general uproar that the peace and dig
nifty of tho place was horribly assailed.
The hours given by the complainants
are yariously stated at from midnight
to four o clock in the morning.
The young men deny that they were
intoxicated deny that they used any
improper language. deny that they mo-
Tested anyone or raped on any doors
They admit that they went to the IRE
hall in a spirit OF boyish fun, got a
bass drum and paraded down the main
street in single file TO the beat or the
drum az far as the Koepeke candy store
where the late Policeman Noyes inter
cepted them and sent them home.
They set the hour as between eleven
and twelve o'clock.
The two stories are almost diametri-
cally opposite. Which is the TRUTH
When an accusation justiHes an ar
rest ID justiies veriication. The young
men have refused to plead guilty and
a hearing will be had next Monday
night before Justice Dawson.
I'm the mean time lot OF undeserved
censure is being heaped by one side
upon Marshal Aeschliman for making
the arrest and by the other side for not

trial.
We hold no brief for either Aeschli.
man or the boys. but we feel that oui
position demands that this matter bt
put fairly and impartially before the
people of the city. MANY of whom have
been grossly preJudiced by the exaeger

This the Finding Of Or. Flerner, Who Urges
Careful Study.
No treatment so far as is known
which can be regarded as specific or
even affective has been found in deal
ing with the problem of infantile par
alysis, according to DIR. Simon Flexner
of New York. who has been making
special study OF the disease. AT con-
ference Of medical officers under
the auspices Of the state department
Of health DR.. Flexner among other
things gave the following views In
discussing iniantile paralysis
The,disease is still Ialive over con-
siderable portion of the state.
Our greatest concern is to determine
how and under what circumstances
the disease is spread
There is no treatment so far as we
know which can be regarded as specific
or even effective.
IL is easily transmitted from animals
to man and is more fatal In animals
than in man. One attack, however
light. appears TO establish an immun.
! ity against second attack. This is
due to specific micro organism the
propagation of which in the body APP
pears TO bring about reaction estab-
fishing an immunity.
Until we can succeed in deter mining
how this disease is transmitted we
cannot expect to accomplish its proven
ton
Though paralysis is present in most
All cases there are cases with no par.
alysis Such cases are spoken OF al
abortive. and IL is qnite likely that
they are the source of frequent exten.
sion of the disease even fatal cases a.
rising from abortive cases.
The period Of incubation appears e
be from three to thirty.three days.
Four weeks is supposed to oe the
period OF infectiousness of the disease
after which ID is not thought that Ia
lection emantes from the case
The course OF entrance of the germ
Of this disease appears TO be through
the upper air passages especially tn
nose
Ii would also appear that the mos
+ probable means Of exit Of this germ
: through the nose and throat II
therefore very important that the dis

/. officers ard to the health officers OF Ct

PRACTICAL OBSERVATIONS CONCERN
ing BOIL WEEVIL RECORDED BY
Mr.. G. v. CUNNINGHAM. WEEVIL'S
COMING MEANS REVOLUTION OF
FARM METHODS NOW PREVAILING.

The Times-Recorder begins today a
series of articles on the habits of the
boil weevil and the methods employed
in fighting the pest, which have been
prepared by Mr.. G. V. Cunningham, OF
the Third District Agricultural and
Mechanical College. There will he
several of these articles to appear
from time to time.
These papers were prepared by Mr.
Cunningham while he was in the Mis-
sis sippi bool weevil section, the data
having been gained by personal obser-
Walton and investigation. The expert
ence thus gained should prove of in
terest to the farmers of this county
and section, who are soon to face the
conditions that now prevail in Missis-
sippi, and even to a large extent in the
neghboring state of Alabama.

ton more to the raising of home sup
plies and making cotton a surplus
crop.
Another supply merchant stated that
he, too, had cut his credit business
so per cent, and that in future it was
his purpose to take land as security
for supplying any farmer, because cot
ton was too risky.
He said a year before the weeyil
made it's appearance the farmers,
bankers, supply merchants and bust
ness men got together to discuss the
weevil proposition. AT this meeting
the supply merchants told the farm
ers that they would not supply them
with anything they could produce at
home. The result was the farmers
were producing home supplies
Besides the merchants and business
men started an educational campaign
by Offering prizes for the different pro-
ducts of the farm and by distributing
literature dealing with the boil Wee
vii problem, which he said was of great
value.
While there is not the demand for
land there was before the weevil came
none of the farmers are willing to sell
for less than they would have before
the weevil made it's appearance.
The bankers said they We're in good
shape and that their deposits We're full
ly as good if not better than before
the weevil came.

First Boil Weeyil Investigations.
C. V. Cunningham


We began our trip if investigation
of the boil weevil by organizing aud
getting together our party of II 1T
Meridian, Miss, on August 16.
On the morning of the 18th, bright
and early, we took a train to Laurel
Miss, where the weevil has just mace
it's appearance, it being our policy IL
begin in newly infested territory and
continue our investigation into terri
tories of longer and longer infection
to investigate the weevil itself, the
effect of it's presence on farming and
business.
When We reached Laurel, we found
that those farmers who had weevil-in-
tested fields lived so far away that
we decided not to go out to the fields
that day, but to get together bankers.
farmers supply merchants, business
men and some farmers who CHANGED
to be there and who were acquainted
by practical experience with the wee
vii.
President Tate, Of the Farmers and
Traders Bank, and also large farm
ers' supply merchant, who acted rs
chairman of the meeting, stated that
he had cut down the credit business
80 per cent, but that he had not TO-
duced his loans any, as he required

farm land as collateral. He also stat
ed that at first there was considerable
stampeding when the weeyil made It's
appearance, but that the farmers had
come to know that they must raise
plenty of hog and hominy and diver
sified crops and less cotton if a sue
cessful fight was TO be made against
the weevil.
Mr.. Elem Reeves, of Ellisyille, Miss.
farmer, stated that his fields had
been infested by the weeviI two years
and that the insects Were becoming
more and more numerous. He further
stated that though he used to cultivate
large areas of cotton, now he can have
only four acres of cotton to the pillow.
He also thinks that if the weevil con-
tinues to increase that two acres will
cover the amount of cotton to the
pillow.
He said only about % per cent of the
weevils were able to pass through the
winter alive, but that these would
make their appearance ON the little
cotton even before it began to form
squares. AS some of the farmers say:
He sits in the top of the little cot
ton plants waiting for a square to make
! it's appearance"
He said the only successful way
to fight the weevil was to use the
government demonstration method of
catching the weevils and picking Up
the squares. He also stated that deep
fall preparation, wide rows, early
planting of early maturing varieties,
frequent shallow and late civilizations,
and the burning of cotton stalks and
other rubbish aided very materially.
He said he picked up the squares
twice a week, sometimes only once a
week. He also said, while it did not
cost him any money to pick up the
| squares because he and his children
did it themselves, he estimated that it
would cost only $3.50 per acre to get
them picked up during the entire sea-
son. He estimated that if he had not
picked up the squares and had depend
ed wholly on frequent shallow cultiyl-
ton that he would have produced only
500 pounds of seed cotton, whereas he
will get 500 pounds seed cotton per
acre.
He said he thought the Demonstra-
ton plan a farce at first but that h;
had come to know through sad expe,
rience that it is the only successful
way to grow cotton under boil weeyi
conditions.
He said he was turning his atten
