OF the primary election held Sept. g.,
1t is said that they received sugges-
ton that others were permitted to
vote in the election besides Democrats
that in fact, no test of party rela-
tions was applied. The effect of this
objection was that the committee an
nounced their intention of Withholding
their certificate to the nominees, be-
cause of the doubt created as to its

The News this morning learned that

necessitate a petition being gotten up
by each candidate in order to get his
name on the ticket for the regular
election in December.
Mr.. Hightower of the committee was
seen and he states that the committee
now intends to certify the names of
the successful candidates, setting forth
the fact that they were chosen in the
primary election held September 3,
without saying they are the nominees
of the Democratic party. He also
states that it is the intention of the
committee to recommend to the In
coming Executive Committee that
rules be prescribed for the next pri-
mary which will insure that no one
shall participate in a Democratic pri-
mary election who affiliates with any
other than the Democratic party.

TON OF ELECTRIC
IRONS FOR
H'BURG
2,22o POUNDS OF THE LABoR-sAv-
ING DEVICES WILL BE PLACED
IN HOMES OF CITY.

The Hattiesburg Traction Company
will within the next few days receive
the largest shipment of electric irons
ever brought into a town the size Of
Hattiesburg. What's more, it is pro-
posed to dispose of the entire ship
ment weighing over one ton--to be
exact 2,220 pounds-within four or FIVE
days. These irons are of the we'll
known Hotpoint make, number Of
which are already in Hattiesburg
homes and have proven boon to
housewives, who testify to the merit
of this labor-saving device.
Mr.. Cruise Carriel, representing the
manufacturers of the Hotpoint (Which
derives its name from the fact that
the heat is concentrated in the point,
and is not spread over the entire un-
der surface of the iron, thus reducing
the amount of electric energy to the
minimum), will direct the campaign
to place these irons in Hattiesburg
homes and will have four or five so
liictors canvass the town. Every
house where electricity is used will be
visited and determined effort made to
place Hotpoint iron. A very attrac-
tive proposition is offered in order to
get the irons placed in as many homes
as possible. An iron will be left on
80 days free trial, with no obligation
, whatever to buy, at the end Of which
' time it is believed the housewives vii
be so well pleased they will feel tha
the iron is indispensable and will no

berry weeds. Violets are usually the
starting points, and these plants
should be examined frequently and
carefully. If the spider is found on
them, they should be sprayed as rec
commended for the cotton. The Jami-
son weed and the pokeberry weeds
should not be allowed to grow any
where near the cotton fields. AS soon
as the cotton becomes infested, the
farmer should see that the above
plants are destroyed, not merely pull
ed up and left lying on the ground,
but burned If they are left lying on
the ground, the red spider will find it's
way to the cotton.
Clean culture, by destroying weeds,
especially those mentioned above, and
deep fall plowing, will do much to
check or eradicate this pest.
The potassium sulphid for the spray
can usually be purchased from drug
stores. If they do not have it, they
will gladly order it for you from some
wholesale drug company.

THE COTTON RED SPIDER.

According to the letters received at
this Office the cotton red spider is do
ing considerable damage in many parts
of the State. Owing to the number Of
calls for assistance in checking the
ravages of this pest, it is impossible
fora man to be sent to each place.
The cotton red spider is very small
insect, about tie size of chicken mite,
and is seen only on close observation.
When plants are infested the damage
IS first seen at the base of the leaf
The leaf turns reddish in color, a=d
this gradually spreads over the en-
tire leaf, which soon falls off. On ex-
amining closely the under side of the
infested leaves, the red spider will be
found, sucking the sap out of the leaf.
A fine web is made on the under sur
face of the leaf, and beneath this the
spiders lay their eggs, and are sup
ported while feeding. AS they have
no wings, the spiders must crawl from
plant to plant or be carried by some
animal, as the horse or mule while
blowing
As soon as the damage is noticed, if
it is confined to few plants, these
may be pulled carefully, and burnt.
Any plants that are pulled up, and
then left on the edge Of the field, will
not check the damage, as the spider
will soon crawl to fresh plants. Where
the infestation covers too large an area
to warrant the above procedure, the
plants should be sprayed at once with
potassium sulphid, using three pounds
to 100 gallons of water. 1t is best
even where a small area is involved,
to use the above mentioned spray over
an area extending out at least so feet
from the original place of infestation.
In spraying, be sure that the under
sides Of the leaves are covered, as
most CT the insects are found there.

To light her hair the sunbeam tries
Moods play like waves across her

And oceans depths are in her eyes.

She takes her toll of knight and

A most enchanting summer girl.

The seasons pleasures she'll define
Alas, they say she has not heart,
But know better-she has mine!
