ARMY WORM IS BUSY
HAS CAUSED CONSIDERABLE DAM
AGE IN SOME COUNTIES.
Crop, as a Whole, Has Not Been Bet
tered by the Weather During the
Past Week, as the Cool Nights
Have Caused Shedding.

Jackson.-Reports from several coun'
ties in the lower section of the delta
state that the army worm has been get
ting in its work in the cotton fields dur
ing the past two weeks, and considerable
damage to the crops has been inflicted.
In a majority of the infested districts,
however, the cotton growers were pre-
pared for the pest, and at its first ap-
pearance arsenate of lead and paris green
were freely used. As a result much of
the crop in the danger zone has been
saved, and the destruction from this
cause will be far less than last year.
The army worm has not been found in
any of the counties in the northern por-
ton of the delta.
Picking has made satisfactory progress
during the past week. Farmers state,
however, that the weather has been rath-
er unfavorable, cool nights have caused
considerable shedding, and, on the whole,
the crop has not made any progress dur
ing the week.
Practically all of the oil mills in the
state have started their seasons run,
and some of the congresses are in op-
Grafton. There has been very little
movement of the crop to seaboard or
the eastern mills thus far.

ACT UNCONSTITUTIONAL
CHANCELLOR WHITMAN RENDERS
AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Legislature Without Power to Leave It
Optional With Voters of Counties
to Retain or Abolish Office
of County Attorney.

Jacksonville legislative act provid
ing for submission to a vote of the peo-
pie at the November election the question
of whether the office of county attorney
shall be maintained or abolished is I'M
constitutional, according to a decision
rendered by Chancellor Sam Whitman,
Jr., in the chancery court of Rankin
county.
The case will be taken immediately to
the supreme court on appeal and made
a preference cause On the civil docket ior
the middle district when that tribunal
convenes next month.
Owing to the Importance of the ques-
ton involved, and the fact that it in
wolves the election to be held in Novem.
Der, it is believed that the supreme court
will give it an immediate hearing, as
urged by the attorneys.
Chancellor Whitman held that the
legislative act is in violation of section
SO of the constitution, in that it is an
attempt by the legislature to delegate a
legislative power to the people. In brief,
the lawmakers sought to make it option
al with the voters in each county as to
whether the office of county attorney
shall continue in existence. The decision
of the chancellor means that the legisla-
ture must either abolish the office or
continue the act creating the office in
force, and no optional power can be dele
gated to the voters of the various coun-
ties.
Attorneys for the election commission
ers ~endeavored to make the point that
the suit was improperly brought, and
that a taxpayer has no right to institute
legislation of this character. This con.
tention was also overruled.

if such action will cause the state to be

that would be lost by the other two
parties would be bought too dearly by
the Democrats.

Army Worms at Work.

Vicksburg.-Where the cotton worms
have been working on the cotton and
paris green has not been spread the plant
looks very much like it had been scorch
ed by an early frost. Where paris greer
has been sprinkled the plant continues
to thrive. 1t is interesting to take ,
trip through the delta, and observe the
situation. One field will be showing
leaves and blooms and in an adjoining
plot where the necessary poison was moi
spread, the army worms have left thei,
mark Of devastation.

ARE TURNING TO STOCK.


planters in Western Part Of State Rails
ing Less Cotton.
Jackson.-Travelers from the eastern
part of the state report that the farmers
in that section. are turning from the
production Of cotton and are giving
more time than ever to live stock rails
ing, especially to colts.
This is a healthy sign, and if that is
the result of the boil weevil the country
will have no room to regret the advent
of the pest when the real good that he
has done is realized. In every section
of the state where the weevil has taken
possession the planters are compelled to
make some sacrifice in turning to a
more diversified method of farming, but
the outcome will be better than if the
old-fashioned one-crop system had been
maintained.

jackson. The Mississippi Railroad
Commission met in this city Wednesday.
At the present session it is more than
likely that the different railroads filing
injunctions against the rate fixed by the
commissioners on sand and gravel will
make an effort to get together with the
commission and reach a satisfactory set
Element of the matter outside of the
courts.
The members Of the commission are
not at all uneasy about the suits filed by
the different roads. They contend that
in fixing the rate on gravel they were
acting within the scope of their author
ity. In view of the fact, however, that
the commissioners try to weigh out exact
justice to both the public and the rail-
roads they will no doubt be willing to
listen to a compromise with the com.
panics.

May MAKE MILLION

BREWER WILL QUIT OFFICE WITH
A SNUG FORTUNE.
INTERESTED IN BIG DEALS
Unless. His Plans Go Awry, the Chief Ex'
ecutive of the State Is Going to
MAKE a Killing" on His Invest
ment in Delta Lands.

Jackson.-Apropos of Gov. Brewers
prolonged absence from the state on pri-
waite business, one of his intimate friends
in jackson is authority for the state
ment that, if the governors plans do not
miscarry, he will be q millionaire when
he retires from the executive office =
little more than three years hence.
1t is known that Gov. Brewer has a
gigantic deal in delta lands on foot, and
that is the explanation Of his absence
from the office during the past three
weeks. As to his whereabouts, absolute
ly nothing definite can be learned around
the capitol building.
Some of the governors friends deny
that he is, or has been, across the Allan
tic during his protracted absence. They
do not appear to be able, however,. to
account for him on any other part of
the globe, or show positively that he
has not left the United States.
Some time since Governor Brewer
made the statement in a. letter written
to N. S. Wright, a well-known realty
dealer in Greenwood, that the value of
lands in the YazooM Mississippi delta
will advance lin value at the rate of
twenty per cent. per year for the next
FIVE years. He is unquestionably sincere
in this belief, and his confidence has in
spired other delta land owners, many of
whom have advanced prices on their
holdings because of the several big land
deals that Gov. Brewer is negotiating.
A prominent citizen of Jackson who
owns a tract of land near Honey Island,
has been offering it at SIS per acre,
stated yesterday that the tract is no
longer on the market.
