Sanders has. The weed Is large and
covered with squares aud blooms. But
for the boil weeyil it would average a
bale and half per acre. But Mr..
Sanders and his family have waged a
relentless war on this pest, and he
will make good average crop of
cotton, something like bale per acre.
Every two week every fallen square is
picked up and burned, and very few
weevils, comparatively, are now seen.
After seeing the success Mr.. Sanders
has met in combating the pest we are
satisfied that our Jones county farm
ers can make cotton uuder boil weevil
conditions. DR.. Carter, who has ira :
elled extensively over our county and
closely inspected the crops, says we
will make surprisingly large crop
Of cotton this year Many farmers are
lighting the boil weevil, and they have
pretty we'll cleaned their fields OF the
pests The weed is fruiting heavily,
and you only occasionally see
S9uuIC PuuIhuTEu.
As stated, Mr.. Sanders diversifies
his crops. Besides those already men
toned, he has extra fine cane and po-
toes, a garden, melon patch and fruit
orchard. What our county needs are
many more farmers like Mr.. Sanders.
Mr.. Sanders says he believes that
fl,a uh1l L. a ~ sr1c -
be responsible for the increase OF in
sect pests. He has posted his land
against hunters, and 1t would be we'll
for other farmers to do likewise. II
landowners would unite in protecting
these little feathered friends, they will
do much toward keeping down insects
now depredating on our crops. Every
covy of partridges Is worth hand in
the field when it comes to picking the
boil weeyil and other insect pests,
1t viii encourage and richly repay
any one to drive out in the country
and see the magnificent crops now RI
pening. Jones county will this year
raise the largest crops in its history.
People are blue because money Is
tight, and afraid to spend But they
can cheer up, for we nc yer saw a
brighter outlook, and next fall we
expect to see flush times and record
breaking business done. Our farmers
will have recovered from the paraliz-
ing effects OF the boil weeyil,

Couple Working In Field Was
Killed without warning.

Jackson, Miss, July ~. * %. w
Newell, q farmer and his wife, wers
assassinated while hoeing in potato
field about 10 O'Clock this morning.
Although the tragedy occurred this
morning, the bodies were not dis
covered until this afternoon.
About 10 O'Clock n negro working
on an adjoining place heard two re-
ports ola shotgun 10 quick succession.
Rain was then beginning to fall and
the negro did not investigate the
shooting until the rain ceased In the
afternoon. Then he went to the
Newell place and found the bodies OF
Newell and his wife thirty or forty
yards apart in potato field.
Officers are of the opinion that the
shooting was done by two persons,
who fired almost simultaneously.
Newell was shot through the head and
load OF buckshot entered the back OF
his wife, tearing hole through her
body Both were killed instantly
They fell to the ground with their
hoes clutched in their hands. The
wounds indicated that the shooting
was done at close range. Shotguns
we're used.
Newell and his wife move from ack
son to the farm where they were killed
last February. They we're cultivating
farm of about twenty five or thirty
acres, and had good crop. The
officers have a clew that leads in the
direction of man who lives In Kinds
county. The Jackson police have
been requested to investigate his
movements and to keep him under
surveillance. The jealousy of this
man 10 supposed by the officers to
have caused the assassination.
Mrs. Newell was twice married hay
ing been divorced from her first hus-
band.

TRIP in COUNTRY
Fine Corn Prospects and our
Farmers Getting Ahead of
the Weevil. The Profit in
Cattle and Hogs.

Last Sunday morning DR.. Carter
kindly took us a drive about three
out in thecnnntry TO Mr. Charley San
ders, who had q little boy suffering
with diptherin, but the patient is get
ting on nicely and the Doctor pro-
nounces him out of danger. Dipthe-
ria was once looked upon as an incu-
rable and fatal disease, bat medical
science has mastered it, and few cases
are now lost If treated in time. The
treatment Is serum that is injected
into the patient and each dose costs
$3.50. Three doses we're administered
to Mr.. Sanders little boy.
We were glad to take even this
short drive, as it enabled us to see
the crops and chat with our friends
,on the farm Charley Sunders is q
successful and progressive farmer and
a good citizen-such men as consti-
tute the backbone OF any country. He
few months ago had the misfortune
to lose his residence an d outbuildings
by fire, but will shortly rebuild. He
owns a splendid farm, and 100 acres
timbered lan1.
We walked over Mr.. Sanders crops
ana he is our ideal Of an up-to-date
farmer. You see growing in his fields
every manner of crop for the support
of man and beast. Charley Sanders
lives at home and boards at the same
place. He has family of nine very
bright and intelligent boys and girls
and they are all workers.
Besides owning one of the neatest,
cleanest and best managed farms we
ever saw, Mr.. Sanders has about six
ty head of cattle, with blooded bull
at their head, and large drove of
hogs. He tells US it costs him nothing
to carry his stock through the sum
mer months and until late in the fall,
as they keep in fine condition on the
natural grasses. He plants among
other crops COW peas. pinders and the
chufa, and when the harvest Is gath
cred the hogs have run of the fields
it takes but little corn to fatten them.
Our farmers can raise no better feed
for hogs than the chufa.
We never saw cleaner fields than
Mr.. Sanders. There Is not sprig
of grass or weeds in his crop. His
levi fields and the luxuriant crops
growing thereon remind one OF Wes-
tern prairiss. His corn stands thick
on the land aud the recent rains In
sure a splendid yield. We never saw
finer corn anywhere. Between the
rows peas are planted. He has also
COW peas planted in separate patches
and sowed broadcast for hay. we
saw on his farm the little black bug
that is playing havoc with the pes
crop. They are hard As stone and &c

 At the announced time of meet ing the City Hall was comfortably filled with citizens and voters, the majorityfof whom were not familiar with the cause which would occa- sion recall of the present adminis- tration.
 After few minutes discussion by several of those present who wished to be informed as to the exact con ditions which caused the meeting to be called, Bobby Burns was elected temporary chairman, who called the meeting to order. MT. Powers was immediately nominated permanent chairman.
 No one present seemed willing to shoulder the responsibility of being father to the recall movement However, MT. Daggs took the fool and explained to the assemblage hil understanding why the present ad ministration should be recalled.
 Daggs stated he understood tha at recent meeting of the council i was ordered that taxes should b' levied upon the full valuation of thu property within the corporate limits and that levy of 6 millions should be assessed against property.

 The water question was discussed in a very personal manner by Cauffman and Daggs. Cauffman also took occasi pn to denounce the Council for apDropriating $l00 to the " Williams News " for adrer is- i g purposes.
 Finally the meeting was brought to order, and a committee was selected and empowered by the as- sembled citizens to meet with the administration, obtain all data pos sible regarding how much money is needed to run the town, how much money on hand, where the surplus money has gone, and ascertain why 6 millions assessment is necessary, and if not necessary, to prevail upon the administration to reduce the levy to figure that is only necessary to run the city properly, and to report on any facts that are of interest to the citizens at large.
 The Committee consists of John Gilson, J. s. Button and G. B. Kirkpatrick, who will later report to the citizens.

mated the Council had no quorum at the time and also showed marked incompetency in this levy of 6 millions for the reason the. Council should first have ascer- tained its revenues derived from licenses and other sources, and after finding out its fixed resources, then should have figured out what fin- ancial balance was required to pro- perly run the city. and then levy one, two or three millions on the property to make up the deficiency
 MT. Daggs' statement brought out several discussions by those present.
 It was thought and openly ex- pressed by several that in view of the fact that the last legislature passed a law authorizing assessors throughout the state to assess pro- perty to its full valuation that the Council did this, and levied the 6 millions without due considerati ,n of the large amount of money the levy would bring in the treasury in excess of it's needs.
 Other matters pertaining to the welfare of the city were discussed in a manner which showed the speakers did not approve the way the Council allowed many matters to be handled, especially the Fire Department and the alleged i'm. pure water.
 Jake Cauffman spoke at length While he did not approve of all the doings of the Council, he stooc ready to fight with the majority fol better business administration 1T the city's affairs and took occasion to announce that the water hac been anylizel, and although it wal not the best water in the world, i
