By a determined stand and wise
counsel to Congress President Wills
last week prevented a national disas.
ter in securing the enactment Of the
Adamson S-hour law for lsilway train
men in the interstate business. That
he was earnest and honest in his efforts
for the public good, none will question.
That the passage of the law in its pr, s.
ent form is wise we seriously question.
1t amounts to an increase in wages for
the highest paid men of equal inteli-
gence and training in the world and
sets a precedent of the right of col
gress to fix the wage scale of workers
a power we do not believe the court
will sustain. All are glad a strik
was:averted, but unless steps are TAX
en- to curb ruptures between capital
and organized labor such crises as we
have just passed thru will be frequent
and annoying.

A Somerville farmer sold twelve
bales of cotton Saturday to a local
buyer for delivery as ginned at 16 cents
per pound. which was about three
times what was paid two years ago for
the staple. At l6 cents and the price

of cotton will yield the farmer in
round numbers 500, and the present
crop would put this section in a most
splendid condition and these are GER
tainly prospects right now.

For years we have been hearing OF
the terrible destruction to cotton in the
southern states by the boil weevil and
all agencies have been working together
to get ready for his coming, most pec-
pie realizing that his rapid march to-
ward the northern limit of the cotton
belt was steady and sure and that soon
er or later he would cover every inch
of cotton land in the south. That point
has almost been met. In the local col
umn this week is local announcing the
presence of the weevil in Fayette coun-
ty. Not far to the north is the limit Of
cotton growing and Mr.. Weevil has al
most reached that limit. And yet we
have not prepared for him. A score OF
years ago he invaded southern Texas
and laid waste the rich lands OF thai
section, making acres that were worth
500 drop to IS and $40. and it was a
drag on the market at that. Renters
left by thousands and in many section
of prairie country as far as mans eye
would reach was a barren waste Of
rich and productive fields reduced to
ildeness. 1t was a desolate sight.
And just as sure as Fayette county
fails to get ready to live from some
thing besides cotton her lands will be
reduced in the same way. The weevil
is coming and his advance agent is now
on the ground. We can get ready b
