OEvOURIRG BOIL WEEVLS'
NEW KIND OF GRASSHOPPER AP.
PEARS IN ATTALA COUNTY. !
"Katydids" Have Wholesome Appetites
for Weevils, First Crushing, Then
Swallowing Them, According
Dr.. ]. w. Long.

Jackson.-Have a peculiar and here
tofore unknown variety of the common
grasshopper suddenly appeared in the
cotton fields of Mississippi to destroy the
boil weevil?
That is the question that just now is
interesting the farmers of Attala county,
some of whom believe that in the years
to come a question and an answer may
90 something like this.
Question: "What destroyed the boil
weevil?"
Answer: "Katydid."
At any rate there are many people
in Attala county who can testify that a
boil weevil eating g~rasshopper has ap.
peared. In fact there are thousands OF
them, and every day they can be OBJ
served eating the weevil Or the cotton
stalks.
DR.. j. w. Long of Attala county as
serts that this is no mythical tale. lie
states emphatically that he saw a pur'
plish green grasshopper eat four weevil'
in about four seconds. Having heard OF
tuc iuiiuA VI ~ PcSu'i" cPeS'SS W
g~rasshoppers in a neighbours field, and
their weevil-eating p~roclivities, he ex
pressed his unbelief in the story. A
friend took several weevils and one Of
the grasshoppers to his store, and quick
ly demonstrated that what he had sale
was correct. The weevils quickly disap
peared down the throat of the grasshop
per. DIR. Long said that the grasshoppel
first crushed the weevils. then swallowed
them.
The appearance of the grasshoppers il
the cotton fields occasioned some un
easiness, as the farmers believed an
other pest had come to bother them
Later it was found the grasshopper'
were after the w~eevils, not the cotton
The insects were observed on cottoi
stalks f~easting on boil weevils.

MISSISSIPPI FOR
WILSON BY $4,000
THREE CONSTITUTIONAL AMEND
MENTS WON.
LARGE VOTE A SURPRISE
Negro Vote Light in Jackson, But White
Vote Approximates Eighty Per
Cent. Of Normal.

jackson, Miss.-According to advices
received by National Committeeman Rob
ert Powell, the vote aggregated two
thirds of the normal in Mississippi. In
all the larger towns the vote was much
larger than expected, while the fair
weather served to bring q larger pro-
portion of the rural vote out than has
been cast before in a presidential cleo
ton since 1884. Judge Powell wired
Chairman w. F. McCombs, of the ma
tional committee, that Wilson and
Marshall electors had polled 10000 mo-
jority in the state.
This is the largest majority given the
national Democratic ticket in Mississippi
for twenty years. The total vote Of
the state will reach $4,000. The inter.
est of the public was SO strongly GEN.
tered in the news from the country at
large that little attention was paid to
the result in Mississippi. Great crowds
congregated at the newspaper offices
where the returns were received.
All eight of the Democratic nominees
for congress were elected without oppo-
sition by increased popular vote. The
three constitutional amendments sub
mitted on the ticket have been adopted.
Vote Is Large.
When the polls closed in Jackson and
Kinds county the size of the vote cast
was somewhat of a surprise to some,
being much larger than customary at ma.
tional elections, though rather below
the expectations of Others, the aggre
gate vote in the city of Jackson was
slightly over LOO, or about so per cent
of the normal.
1t was noticeable that the negro vote
was very light, not much more than 2;
having exercised their franchise in the
city out of a registration of 100.

ATTORNEY GENERAL PROBES M. g.

Saloon by Mississippi Official.

Jackson.-Attorney General Collins is
preparing to file custer and penalty pro-
ceedings against two of the largest rail
way corporations in the state, the Mobile
and Ohio and Southern railways. Gen.
Collins states that he has been engaged
for the past three or four months in an
investigation Of the relations between
these two systems, and that he has about
gotten together data and proof that the
two systems are now operating under u
merger. According to Mr.. Collins, he has
not yet gotten all the evidence together,
but he is satisfied, as far as his investiga-
tiion has extended, that a merger exists
and has existed for the past ten or
twelve years.
The matter is expected to come to a
head during the mex two or three weeks,
and custer proceedings, if filed, will prob
ably be in the chancery court of Laud-
erdale county. These proceedings will
be filed under Sections 4O57 and 500j
of the Code of 1906, being the chapter
on trusts and combines. The penalties
run from $500 for each separate and
distinct violation to $4,000.
Another important action which the
attorney general has taken is one which
will cause the alleged open s~aloonkeepers
in Vicksburg to at least take notice. The
The attorney general has sent to Vicks

to equal what they saw. The display
of agricultural and horticultural pro
ducts would have done credit to a state
fair, while the departments presided
over by the ladies would have been cred
liable to a tri-state exposition.

Penitentiary Department Realizes $780, 59
on Cotton.

Jackson.-The Mississippi treasury
was strengthened to a small extent by
the payment of $20,o59 by the peniten-
tiary department or account of sale Of
farm products, including 800 bales of
cotton, out of the lot recently sold to
Boyce & Co., which has just been deliv-
cred.
According to the penitentiary officials,
they are as badly hampered by reason of
the freight car shortage existing all over
the country as are private interests and
manufacturers. Were the shipping facil-
tiles in such condition as would admit OF
prompt delivery, AZ dates of sales, the
treasury balance would be better than
the bare 100000 now shown.
