will vote on this question at the
Grand Lodge meeting and final ac-
tion will be taken at the Supreme
Lodge meeting to be held in 1914 at
Winnipeg, Canada.
Report Shows Growth.
The report to be submitted by
Grand Chancellor w. P. Hart, Hunt
ington, will show that the Grand Do
main of Indiana is the wealthiest in
the Supreme Domain; that it is ex-
ceeding in numbers by Ohio alone;
that a net gain of 483 has been made
in the last year; that seven new
lodge homes have been dedicated and
five more are under construction;
that there are fifty-five companies. an
increase of thirteen, in the Uniform
Rank, with a total membership of
about 1000, and that the insurance
department is in flourishing condi-
ton. There are now 65,3S7 Knights
of Pythias in the state.
Grand Chancellor Hart recommends
that the Grand Lodge appoint a COM
mission to investigate the question of
providing homes for aged and desti-
tute members and destitute orphans
of former members and that the com
mission make a report at the Grand
Lodge meeting in 1913. With the pay
ment within a few years of the in
debtedness on the Indiana Pythian
building, valued at $1,00O,000, the
Pythians expect the rentals to provide
the Grand Lodge with ample funds
with which to establish the proposed
homes.

ton took no formal action on the

BRITISH DERBY TODAY.

London, June 5.-London is all but
depopulated today by reason of the
annual exodus to EPSON Downs.
where the English Derby the greatest
racing classic in turf history, will be
decided this afternoon. The failure OF
some of the favorites to make good in
preliminary canters has upset all the
dope books and the result of the race
is considered highly uncertain. 1t is
probable that not more than one of a
hundred of the people who have gone
to Epson today can actually see the
race. The recent death of the King
of Denmark has diminished the social
Importance of Derby day, owing to
the mourning of the court. The Derby
night ball has been cancelled.

STATE REUNION
Confederate Veterans Meet in Jackson
This Year Probably During
Fair.

Jackson, Miss, June SIT is proba-
BILE that the annual reunion of the
Mississippi division of the United Con-
federate veterans, fixed to take place
in Jackson during the month of Sep
tember, will be postponed to coincide
with the dates for the annual state
fair, in order that the visitors can
take in the sights and scenes of that
big event during their visit to the
capital.
A suggestion to this effect, made by
Capt. Wash Price, of Water Valley,
seems to meet with the approval of
the local veterans. Two of the excel
lent reasons offered is that the wealth
er will be cooler during October, and
that it will also make it possible to
have the unveiling of the monument
to the Confederate Women of Missis-
sippi, the corner stone for which was
laid Monday. The base, pedestal and
statue of the monument cannot be
placed in position, however, until late
in the autumn.
The matter will be taken up by Maj
Gen. Pat Henry and his staff at an
early date and some definite conclu
sion reached.

they may curtail their expenditures

RAISES COTTON IN
SPITE OF BOIL
WEEVIL
H. G. Tobert, Forrest County Farmer,
Picks And Destroys
The Pests.

Mr.. H. G. Tolbert, Forrest county
farmer, whose home is two and half
miles northwest of Rawls Springs, on
Bouie river, with Mrs. Tolbert, was in
Hattiesburg this morning and favored
The News with an interesting inter-
view with reference to his experience
with the boil weevil. Mr.. Tolbert
came to Forrest county from Lauder
dale, about two years ago, purchased
the farm he is now living on, and is
growing cotton and corn successfully
He states that with diligence and in
telligence, applied with energy, there
is no reason why cotton cannot be
successfully grown right here on South
Mississippi lands in spite of the boil
weevil He is just as firm in his
declaration, that it is next thing to
being fool, for farmer to undertake
to grow cotton who is unwilling to
recognize the necessity for picking
the weevis from the cotton plants.
| Last year Mr.. Tolbert had 63 acres
devoted to cotton and this year has
the same cotton acreage. On May
weevil from his cotton, and on June
3rd, completed the last picking re-
quired to practically rid his field Of
the pest, with the result that he gath
cred 81 bales of cotton Of commercial
weight. He kept careful count of all
weevils found, and at the end noted
he had picked and destroyed 404 of
these pestiferous insects. The result
of his first picking in 1911 was 244
weevils. This year he selected the
same dates for comparison. Began
May 22nd and counted to June 9rd,
$40 this year as against 404 as stated
for last year on same number of acres
and in exactly the same time. Last
year 12-acre tract was selected for
special note, the first picking on same
May 2S, yielded 55 weevils. while the
same 12-acre plat picked over the first
time, June 3rd, this year, yielded 81
weevils. The size of the cotton being
smaller this year than last on the
same dates, accounts for the increased
number of weevils found this year, so
Mr.. Tolbert thinks. Another special
test made by him is noted, to show
proof that picking does destroy the
weevil: Selecting another 12-acre
tract, he picked it over three times
with the result that the number Of
weevils found, decreased with each
picking. On May 9th, first picking,
80 weevils; May Both, End picking 6S
weevils; June 4th, 9rd picking, AZ
weevils.
One other thing Mr. Tolbert insists
is necessary, is the picking of every
square from each stalk on which a
weevil is found. If in this way all
weevils are destroyed, ample time will
be left for other squares to form.

CATTLE EFFECTED
With BLAlkLEG
Several Head Have Died in This coun-
ty-Steps Taken to Check
Disease.

Doctors Davenport and Heiney were
called this week to the farm of Mr..
c. H. Young, about nine miles east
of Hattiesburg, for the purpose of de-
termining the nature of the disease
prevailing among the cattle in that
locality.
They found that Mr.. Young had lost
four head of cattle and a neighbor of
his had lost one COW, from the disease
known as BLACK Leg" the symptoms
of which are, bad swellings on the
legs, hips or along the spine This
swelling is the result of a gaseous
formation under the skin, due to the
growth of germ that is deadly in it's
development.
DR.. Heiney states that the disease
is both infectious and contagious. It
is also claimed that it has never yield
ed to any remedy used and when once
an animal is attacked with it, death is
certain. The only relief afforded by
known methods is vaccination, as a
preventive.
Drs. Davenport and fgsfney immedi-
ately began vaccinating all the cattle
in the section supposed to be infected,
with the result, as claimed, that no
new cases have developed in the
Young neighborhood, though the re.
port comes this morning that several
other cattle have died from the same
disease about three miles east ot
there.
The history of the disease is, that II
often follows prolonged floods or over
flows. It's prevalence in the Yazoc
Delta section has heretofore been re
ported, The state veterinarian was
Immediately advised when the loca
veterinarians became convinced tha
the ailment was "black-leg."

Political srlsandase Says heo.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, June 5.-"Pure
political brigandage," said Colonel
Roosevelt of the capture of Ohio's
six delegates at large to the Republf-
can national convention by supporters
of President Taft. He said it was .
fresh and conclusive proof that Taft
and his advisers care nothing for the
will of the people.
The former president also replied to
statement of William Barnes, Jr..
whom he attacked as a disciple of
bossism, and commended to the at
tention of his oponents, including Mr..
Taft, the report of the legislative COM
mittee which last spring investigated
conditions in Albany.
In his statement Colonel Roosevelt
said in part:
Care Nausht For People.
This action in Ohio is merely a
fresh and conclusive proof that Mr..
Taft and his advisers care nothing for
the will of the people and are eager
to get the nomination without any
reference to the methods by which 1t
i is secured, without any reference to
whether or not delegates represent
the people whom they are supposed to
represent and 1t is crowning Illus
tration of Mr.. Taft's theory Of gov
ersment of the people by repre-
sentative part Of the people,"
