4 FEARFUL war.
(COncordia Sentinell

One of the most terrible wars
ever known to history is now on,
in which Germany, England, Aus
tria, Russia and other European
Powers are involved, and the car
mage, with the improved weapons
and other martial equipments in
use at the present date, is bound
to be sonnet hing that will render
all previouS wars tame in COM
parison. Military duels on both
land and sea will be without a
parallel in the. history. OF the
world, and the Austrian Emperor
who precipitated the awful and
appalling struggle, will have
much to answer for when the
day of reckoning comes.
For many years past just such
a cataclysm has been anticipated
and having come at last, it is not
improbable that the whole map
of Europe will be changed and
altered at its close.
The Sentinel is pleased to
know that President Wilson has,
thus far, kept the United States
from becoming involved, and it is
to be hoped that his position OF
neutrality will be maintained te
the end.
The citizens of the United
States will be bound to feel the
effects of the Titanic struggle
abroad, as it will close all the for
eign markets to our cotton crop
as we'll as other stuffs usually
exported, and the cost of living
already high, will be made ever
still higher, imposing untolt
hardships upon all. but especial!
the poorer classes who are find
ing it difficult as it is to make
both ends meet.
That doughty warrior, Gen
Sherman, once remarked IVA
is hell" and it certrinly is a tru
ism that cannot be denied.

Our sister city of Natchez has
been the scene of quite lively
times this week, the occasion or
the cause being the fact that the
Mississippi National Guard, to-
gether with a company of the
Regular u. S. Army, were hold
ing their annual encampment
over there, which was attended
by some 1900 troops, State and
Federal, together with the hosts
of visitors.
Every day and every evening
nearly, were made fete occasions
by the hospitable citizens of
Natchez, and what with recep-
tons. dances, etc., for privates
and officers, the event was made
q most exceptional one to all in
attendance. In fact, it would be
difficult to tell who enjoyed them
selves the most, the soldiers or
the citizens. AS far as the latter
were concerned, what was good
enough for the officers-f from the
commanding general down-was
none too good for the privates,
which was eminently correct and
proper.
His Excellency, Governor
Brewer, of Mississippi, who is
commander-in-chief of the Ma
tional Guard of Mississippi,
visited the city, and Wednesday
was made Governors Day."
when His excellency reviewed
the soldiers, and made them a
little address, compIimenting
them on their soldierly appear
ance, and telling them they were
the sort of soldiers that had
brought renown to the South in
the past, and which in the future
would continue to reflect lustre
upon our section.
Quite a number of the citizens
of Concordia and adjacent par
ishes in our State took in the
Encampment over there, par
ticipating in the dances and other
functions. and all were delighted
with everything they had expe-
rience with, and especially with
the dancing upon the platform
that had been erected on the
bluff, where the cool breezes
from the river famed the brows
of the heated devotees of Terp-
sichore.
The Sentinel has not the room
to tell all that was pleasant and
enjoyable in connection with the
Encampment, but believes that
Natchez and her hospitable
citizens would welcom the Guards
and the Federal Regiment in at

Dear Sir:-Our attention has been called

which article the scientist in question
assails certain anti-boll weevil mixture.
consisting Of oil. moth balls and tar. to
be applied by means of saturated gnnny
sack attached to the plows during the
process of cultivation; and undertakes to
criticize as "culpable indiscretion' the
advocacy by firms and members OF bust
ness concerns of such irresponsible en-
periments not sanctioned by the experts
of the State Agricultural Department.
Inasmuch as we have little while ago,
by wide circularization, called the atten-
ton Of cotton farmers to the mixture ana
application criticized, We deem it but
proper that we should cay a word by way
of reply 10 the ultimatnm of the eminent
scientist aforesaid:

"Dear Sir:-I write you to say / have
the Boil Weevil mixture tried, and have
to say that the report is more than salts
factory. Where it was used in field on
part Of the cotton. that portion on which
it was used is much heavier fruited, ard
with plenty of open bolls, and the other
does not compare with it. Everything in
the insect line abandons the cotton when
applied. My manager could not put it
ont by sack on single-.ree, but had sack
on end of stick, and dragged it over
top of cotton, it being larger cotton. The
hands on the place are mad that | did
not send it TO them also, and let them
use it. have now supplied them, but
did not do 80 earlier, as ! really had no
confidence in it. especially ~ th" Gov
eminent demonstration came ont iii the
Press, wanting the people to not place
any confidence i'm the mixture men,
tioning the ingredients and mode Of ap-
plication. "
We have no intention to criticisc the
Government experimental work. On
the contrary, We cheerfully testify to the
great value of such enlightened and
scientific effort. But this appreciation
does not carry with it the admission that
the Government experts have exhausted
the sum total of this particular division
OF human knowledge, leaving but ashes
and dry bones as the portion of less cru
dite investigation. On the contrary, We
have the temerity to believe that there are
truths concerning the problem OF boil
weevil eradication which are as yet I'M
disclosed, even to the superior perception
of our agricultural servants. The fact
that we still have the weevil with w. in
undiminished numbers after several
years of experiment and advice contrib
nted by these same experts, would tend
to support the theory that there remained
something yet to be learned in connection
with the problem. We do not question
the attainments OF the Government ex-
perts, nor the good that has been accom-
plshed 10y their teaching, but Ne do feel
that they are somewhat intolerant when,
not satisfied with claiming the monopoly
OF all boil weevil knowledge, they assail,
belitte and discourage those who, by
independent practical endeavor, are seek
ing to reach result which the said ex-
perts. with all their scientific illumination,
have up to this time failed to accom-
plish.

The experiment i'm question came to
orr attention through an article in one
of the newspapers of neighborinS state.
After some investi. alton, we found not
only that the man who had experimental
with the mixture was practical farmer
and reliable citizen, but that the testi-
mony of other reliable men was such aS
to raise at least presumption in favor OF
the efficacy of the remedy.
We, i'm common with all other mer-
chants of this section, are vitality inter
ested i'm the solution of the boil weevi
problem. We felt that if there WIS any
possibility OF virtue in the alleged remedy
the cotton farmers of the infested terri
tory were entitled to notice of the fact,
IN order that they might make the exper-
iment il they saw fit to do so. We did
not recommend the remedy as eilicaci"ns.
but merely called thereto the attention Of
those Interested From the character OF
the testimony before us we believed the
experiment was justified; and, by reason
of the fact that the proper application OF
the mixture involved constant working OF
the crop, which all agreeis amost impor-
tant factor in the weevil fight, we he
Iieved that, regardless of the merit OF the
mixture, the application thereof won'd
necessarily bring good results. Without
the remotest interest in the manufacture
or sale of the mixture, or Of any of its in
gradients, but with the sole motive OF
trying to help in the remedy of the seri-
Gus situation in which the cotton farmers
and all of us are placed, we gave the in-
formation concerning said experiment ~
wide circulation as we could.
Communications received by MS show
that there exists some difference oi
opinion between practical planters who
have experimental with the remedy, and
the chronological experts who condem it

CARRANZA NOT DISTURBED.
Rebels Glad Their Attitude Ia Now
Plain to World.

SALriLLo, June 1l.-Gen Carranza and
his advisers were not disturbed to-day By
the publication OF the correspondence be-
tween the Constitutionalists and the South
American mediators. on the contrary.
sentiment about the Coahuila State Palace
seemed to be that the mediators have
conferred n favor on the Constitutional
lists by making plain to the world Car
ranza's attitude.
The Constitutionalists are greatly
pleased at the stand OF the American
delegates In insisting that only Con-
stitutionaiist can succeed Huerta and that
recognition must be given to the success
Of the revolution. Gen. Carranza let II be
known this evening that he regards this
as an Endorsement OF Views which he has
expressed. He values II not 50 much as
development OF mediation, which he Is no,
disposed TO regard seriously. but as an
indication that his Government when II
finally triumphs over Huerts will he ac-
corded full recognition by the United
States. This approval will enable the
new Government to obtain the large loans
which will be required.
Carransa also holds that his party Is
bound to be consulted before any conclu-
sion can be reached In the peace nesotia-
tions and that his cause cannot suiier
whether mediation succeeds or fails. He
considers that recent Constitutionallst sue
cess has strengthened his position and
has Justified his refusal TO agree to all
armistice. Carranza IL believed to hope
that the mediation conference nay end In
failure SO that the revolution may be
fought to the end and the rebel armies be
allowed a triumphant entry into Mexico
city With no occasion for parleying. the
friends OF the Huerta Government may
then be eliminated wholly ard the new
Government can begin It's duties UNI
