The LINCOLN COTTON FARMERS.
important Advice Which Should be
Needed Now.

The over.wintered weeviIs or the
ones that came from Information
into your cotton in the spring, have
about all died, their length Of life
being about 10 days. AS you know,
the means Of perpetuating the wee-
vii is now through the squares.
This is the only way the old weevils
can be succeeded by young ones.
Up to the present time our DEM
oDstrators in Lincoln county have
done excellent work; and aided by
the dry weather. many had practi-
cally eliminated the weevil from
their fields before the present rains
set ID. These few weevils, if un-
molested. will soon restock your
fields and these young weeviIs will
stay with you and multiply to a
full infestation.
So. get the punctured squares,
every one of them, between show
ers, right now. from the stalks as
well as from rows. 1t will not
take long and it means everything.
As the weather and condition of
the land permit. give rapid, shall
low cultivation with something at
tached to the handles of the plow,
50 as to brush the punctured squares
off the cotton.
BE sure to brush your cotton and
be sure NOT to make it shed by deep
cultivation.
AS the season advances and we
have more dry weather. picking
the squares will decrease in i'm
as rapid cultivation and
brushing the stalks will increase in
importance,
Last year the weeviI-infested dis.
triet of Mississippi went to the ex-
pense of setting crop of cotton on
the stalks and then lost it to the
weevils because this same late cuI-
tiyation and brushing of the stalks
was either abandoned too early or
not resorted to at all
Bear in mind that to be sure of i
q crop we must use every means of
weevil control.
Let's put up a good fight and
reap sure reward.
Yours sincerely,
EDGAR GREEN,
Special Agent.

Why Jim Cosnahan
Should be Assessor

Editor Leader:-Now that so
much thought and time are being
spent on the issues of the senatorial
contest, we fear that the voters Of
the county are forgetting that in
reality, the candidates whom we
should most seriously consider are
the men to fill the county and beat
Offices. That we get the right kind
of men for these local places of
trust is of real and vital concern to
every citizen of Lincoln county.
Take the office of assessor, where
the matter of experience and
familiarity with the work are of
such vital importance. Why should
we not keep man in that place
who by long service has proven
himself the best assessor the county
ever hadY He has proven his
knowledge of values in the city and
in the country, and has further
manifested backbone in bringing
underwriters" to taw. He has
so adjusted the assessments of cor
porations that they shall pay their
rightful share, and yet not cypress
them SO as to drive them out Of the
county where we lose their bene-
fits altogether.
Brother Taxpayer, you don't
turn off a hand because he is serv-
ing you well and some other fellow
happens to want the job. If he
has shown that he can do well the
work you want done. you hire him
again. For the same reason we
want Jim Cosnahan for Assessor
some more.

$1,000 the Amount for the Release Of
Slayer Of Charles MuIIens.

Natchez, Miss. July 10. Frank
Hemphill, the Franklin county man
charged with the killing of Charles
Mullins few days ago. who was
brought here and lodged in the
county Jail to escape the vengeance
of the dead mans friends has been
released under a $1,000 bond ac-
cording to a message from that
county.
1t is alleged that for long time
there had been i'll feeling between
the two men and that few days
ago they met in Meadyille and as
usual an argument was begun.
This soon led to heated quarrel,
and later both men left for their
homes. On the way they fought a
duel, Mullins receiving three bullet
wounds in the chest, any of which
would have proved fatal.
Friends of Mullins threatened
vengeance against HemphiIl and he
was lodged in the local jail for
some time for safe keeping.
