Texas Boh Weevil.
Fifty-Five Counties Are More or
Less Affected.
Galveston, ,Ian 5 ?From the
returns gathered and published
by the Galveston News, it is
shown that 35 counties in Texas
aro more or less affected by the
bnll weevil. Counties of southern
Texas being literally infested
while in north Texas they have
only appeared in isolated counties.
The great cotton producing counties
of the State were attacked
last year for the first time in a
threatening manner and thero is
great dread for the future. River
counties suffered most and river
farms appearto bo worse attacked.
Wooded sections harbor woovil in
winter.
Taking the census figures of
productions as basis it is estimated
that the boll weavil destroyed
cotton in the several districts as
follows:
Southwest Texas 100,000 hales;
east Texas 7,500; central Texai
35,000; north Texas none; coast
district 90,000. Total 24*4,500
hales.
In 1899 and 1900 Texas produced
2,658,555 hales, according
to the United States census of
which 1,558,500, er over half
were grown in the counties now
infested with weevil.

A Joke on Bill Arp

They seem to have a large and*juicy
joke on Major Chns 11.
Smith the Cartersville, iia.,
philosipher, so wed known as
Bill Arp. Ho writes to The
Constitution about it as follows:
But, Mr. Editor, 1 ain still
perplexed. My Christinas pleasu~e
has been marred somewhat by
my pity fer the poor credulous
dependent women all over tie

man. Every *' ty til ings

long since sent the $25 to my son
at Monticello, Flu , and get
nothing back. They say they
trusted him because he was my

borrowed the $-25, for they could
not get the subscribers and mi
they made up u list of names from
their acquaintance* and then they
went to work en the endless chain
humbug and got other women to
send money and on duped.
Now, Mr. Editor, 1 beg you to
put it in large type and print in
rod ink that Joel Smith, of Montictllo,
is no son of mine, nor do
I know anything of him or his
paper. 1 saw a late issue in which
he boasts of having 40,000 mU
scriUers which I suppose means
$40,000 that these dependent
women have sent him. He prom
ised them $20 a month to write
! three hours a day and some of
1 them sold their jewelry and other
precious things to raise the $25.
