special circular to the spread of cotton
wilt and black root, or knot root, in

than cotton. This situation is unfor-
tunate because it Is unnecessary. These
diseases may be controlled.

ELIZA BETTE, Jan. 16.-Agreeing that
municipalities should not be forced to
bear any part of the expense of abol-
ishing grade crossings, the members of
the Mayors Society OF New Jersey, at

Mayor Stein, of Elizabeth, led the
opposition to the measure, because 1T

to pay a portion of the expense in the
elimination of death-traps and because
it is vague in it's terms.
The executive committee of the new
organization will prepare a new bill on
the subject, unless Senator Pierce
agrees to amend his.
After Mayor Gregory had declined
the nomination of president of the
Mayors Society, Mayor Frederick w.
Donnelly, of Trenton, was elected. the
other officers are as follows:
Vice-presidents, Mayor Jacob Hauss-
ling, of Newark; Mayor Alfred A.
