Tbe proposed use of the "kalep" or
Guatemalan ant to exterminate tbe
Meiioan cotton boll weevil la arousing
great Interest in the south. The cotton
crop will soon be ready to plok,
and its size depends on the extent of
tlie ravages of the boll weevil. Therefore
tlie matter affects not the south
alone, but every user of cotton goods
The pest is likely to grow worse a A
cause greater damage every year u m
leas someway is found to check Itsl
ravagfs. In spite of two boll weevil}
conventions, the organization of boll
weevil commissions in Texas, Louisiana
and Mississippi, the liberal sums
appropriated by these states and by 1
tbe Federal government for tl/htlng '
the boll weevils, and the $50,000 prize
for a remedy offered by the Texas
leglslature.no method of getting rid

At best it lias been possible to make
certain suggestions whereby, at great
expense and labor, the amount of damage
caused by the weevil Is reduced.
From the start a vague hope has
been expressed that some other Insect
would be found that would kill olT
the weevil. Is the "kalep" to be the
deliverer? The entomological bureau
and the agricultural department bay It
is and ask for a chance to prove It.
The have gone to considerable ex
pense to search the world over for
an enemy to the weevil, and declare
that they have at last found It In the
Guatemalan ant. They stand ready
to make war upon the cotton eater,
but the cotton people hesitate to commit
the ants to their fields.
The planters are like the European
powers in the Hutso-Japanese war
who wanted to see the Japanese whip
the Russians, but were afraid of the
complications the war would lead to.
Or perhaps they remember their
Aesop, aud the fable telling how the
horse secured man for her ally In the
war with the stag. Admitting that
the "kalep" will do all that Is ex
pected of it, may not the ant itself
prove a more dangerous peril than the
weevil? This is the question the planters
are asking.
This has led to a very general discussion
in the southern pre si of
American and other improvements on
nature and the results that have followed.
The strongest argument in
favor of the "kalep" is the buccess of
the department of agriculture in the
importation of lady bugs from Australia
as a cure or antidote for the
San Jose scale.
The latter pest had seriously Infected
the California orange crop, invaded
Texas and was making its way
toward the orange groves of Loulsaua
and Florida, when its ruinous course
in the south was stopped by the Australian
ladybug. The experiment was
a complete success, and no one has
yet a bad word for the Australian visitor.
On the other hand, Senator Iialloy,
of Texas, Ross Clark, of Lavaca, the
leader in the tight against importing
Central American Insects and turning
them loose ou the community, and
many other planters cite other oxpe
riences against the proposed experiment.
They call attention to the importation
of English sparrows for the purpose
of getting rid of the worms and
bugs in New York and to their spread
<*ii uvwr me ouuiiury, uuanoomng ineir
inaeotlvorous habits, driving out native
birds and becoming very trouble- 1
some themselves and great destroyers
of fruit.
The mongoose, imported into Jamaica
to kill oil the rats which injured
the sugar cane, performed that work
successfully, but has since become ten
times the nuisance the rats were, for
after killing oil the rats it took to
eating spring chickens. Similarly, the
English rabbits imported into Australia
have proved one of the greatest
curses of that island continent.
The importation of water hyacinths
?which came from the same country
as the "kalcp"?has cost the south
millions of dollars and put the Federal
government to considerable expense
to get rid of its growths, which have
rendered most of the Gulf streams unnavigable.
Similarly, Bermuda grass,
imported from the West Indies, has
increased the cost of cultivation in the
south '0 per cent, and cocoa grass has
also added to the trouble and expense
of the farmers. 1
Two of the most troublesome plants
to southern farmers were aotually imported
by the United States depart- '
ment of agriculture and scattered
through the south before their dangerous
character was discovered. The
first and worst of these was Johnson
grass, which was recommended to the
farmers as an excellent forage plant.
Jobnson grass grows with a rapidity
that Is startling and It cannot be eradicated.
You may dig It up or burn it,
but you cannot get rid of it. The log- ,
lslatures of both Texas and Louisiana
prophit its importation, and the quarantine
against it is as stringent as
against smallpox.
The United States department of \
agriculture also recommended Japanese
bamboo as likely to thrive in the
south, and offered samples of it to <
southern farmers. They planted it.
There is no question about its thriving.
Mr. Clark, who is leading the light ,
against the Quatemalan ant, is one of
the men who planted the bamboo. It
grew so fast that he and his neighbors
became alarmed, as it threatened to
cover the whole plantation. When he
tried to get rid of it he could not,
until he built a lavee around his bamboo
patob and kept it saturated with
crude Beaumont oil.
Either the plant flourishes better in
this oountry than in Japan, or the
Japanese kj^ow someway to holding
the growth in check which the department
of agriculture forget to get.
Bamboo may make very good baskets,
Mr. Clark says, bht the south is not
prepared just yet to abandon cotton
and all its other crops and confine its <
energies to has bet making.
With these facts before them, the (
Texas farmers and their friends have
not only flooded the department of
agriculture at Washington with inquteles
and protests, but also anouno- I
ed their intention to fight the kalep .
in the courts to the last ditch. An injunction
has already been secured from l
the TMMLdistrict court at Houston, i
direct? Bainst Dr. Cook and other <
kw jMteM K|ho department of agriHng
them from Intro- <
the Quatemalan i
vhmmvmhwmmhHR
The injunction recites that it Is proposed
to bring Ip this ant and turn It
ooee at the United States government
experiment station at Victoria, Tex.
rhey say the ant would spread to all
parts of the State, would become so
lumerous In time sp to prove an Inxplerable
pest, would sting the labor*
>rs in the Held and then would renier
It impo<>slble to pick cotton, ultinately
destroying the cotton crop and
ill other vegetation.
The injunction has delayed the
ppenlng of the Kalep-Weevll war.
The ants will spend some time in New
3rleans, until the department of agrljulture
decides what to do.
The collection of these ants cost
leveral months of hard work In Alta
Vera Paz, Guatemala. The insect
pas no icientitio name, but Is known
tw the natives or Indians as the kalep.
It is red, and about twice the size of
in ordinary ant.
Dr. Oook has some 5,000 ants, or
'orty colonies, Including a numl>er of
jueens. They are now in tlrst class
condition, active and full of tight, and
jager to be allowed to attack their
enemy.
Dr. Cook denies all the charges
made against the ants. The are inseotlvorous,
he says, and will not hurt
cotton?and the Mexican boll weevil
Is their dearest foe.
The weevil stands no show with the
Guatemalan kalep. The latter stings
the weevil, producing paralysis, aud
then carries Its vlc.im to Its dwelling
nouse, where the weevil is torn to
pieces or put in cold storage for the
winter. Four ants to each stalk of
cotton will keep It wholly free from
weevils. So effective has the warfare
of the kalep proved that it has already
completely destroyed the weevil in
Vera Paz and other departments
which In Inhabits.
The boll weevil, after practically destroying
the cotton crop of Mexico, invaded
Texas on the north and Guatemala
on the south. It seemed to
sweep everything before It until it
reacnea me country or the kaleps.
The latter have turned the tables on
It and are pursuing it lierc.ly and
remorselessly.
As for the argument presented by
Mr. Clark that it would render cotton
picking impossible by stinging the
negroes on their bare feet, Dr. Cook
calls attention to the fact that the
Guatemalan natives never wear shoes,
yet have never sulkred from ant
stings. It is admitted that there
may be limitations in the effective
work of the kale p. It lives in a porous
sandy soil, like that of Texas, but It
is by no means certain that it would
Unci life so agreeable in the rich but
damp soil of the alluvial lands of the
Mississippi, where cotton reaches its
highest development.
All these facts and arguments have
not convinced the anti-ant men. Kvcn
if we admit, say they, that the kalep
will do all that is expected of it and
kill off the weevils, on what is it
going to feed after the weevil are exhausted?
The South is already pretty well
overrun with ants, which have latterly
increased in numbers, owing possibly
to the destruction of insect-eating
birds. The ordinary American
ants, red and black, are themselves effectual
as destroyers of other insects,
and indeed are known to kill boll
weevil; but in spite of their good service
In tills respect they are recognized
as a nuisance and injurious to the
farmer, and their neits are ploughed
up and destroyed whenever they are
come across. If their numbers are
swollen by importation of larger and
fiercer ants, the planters will lind it
almost impossible to keep the ants
under control.
In tine, is it not a dangerous experiment,
they ask, becaues wearesull'ering
from one Insect pest, to import
another? It depends upon the settlements
of these questions whether the
courts will allow the great Kalep

Handled Them Well.
A special from Danville, Va., says
Judge Aiken Wednesday appointed a
special grand jury composed of prominent
citizens for the purpose of Investigating
the attempt of the mob
Tuesday night to take the prisoner,
Roy Seals, who is in jail charged with
the killing of Flagman Armes of the
Southern railway. Daniel Talley,
one of the leaders of the mdb, charged
on the officers guarding the jail, but
the men composing the mob quailed
before the determined stand taken by
the police. Talley dashed against
the officers alone and was captured
and disarmed. He was afterwards
released by order of Mayor Wooding,
who states that he made the order
thinking it would probably have a
good effect on the mob.
The mayor was apprised of the fact
that the mob was assembling by a
woman. The woman oame to the
home of the mayor at midnight after
the executive had prepared to retire.
He granted her an interview and was
told the plans of the mob leaders.
The woman is the wife of one of the
mob leaders. The mayor would not
disclose her name.

Mr. Brjran Tell* of the TbMKl Re P* ore
and Those He Doesn't.
. W. J. bryan's plan for the reforma
Hon of the democracy was given pub*
llcity Thursday. In It Mr. Dryan favors
radical changes, but advocates
the election of Judge Parker for president
as ajfocd beginning. He declares
for State ownership of railroads,
governornment control of telegraphs
and abolishment of private monopoly
audfavors the inooine tax and election
if federal judges by the people. Mr.
iiryan says In part:
"l~"have heretofore refused to take
a position upon the question of government
ownership of railroads, tirst,
because I had |not until recently
studied tho subject, and second, because
the quest Ion had not been reached.
Recent events have convinced roe
that the time Is now ripe for the pre
mentation of this question. Conso'ldatlon
after consolidation has taken
place until a few men now control the
railroad tratllc of the country and
defy both the legislative and exeoutlve
power of the nation. 1 Invite the Democrats,
therefore, to comlder a plan
for the government ownership and
Operation of the railroads.
BTATK'OW N KKSIII1' OK HO A 1)8.
"The plan usually suggested Is for
the purchase of these roads by the federal
government. This plan, It seems
to me, is mote objectionable than a
plan which involves the ownership and
operation of these roads by the several
States. Tojjut the railroads Into the
hands of tbl federal government would

ail'uirs and such centralization is not
at, all necessary. The several States
cari own and operate the railroads
within their borders Just as eiTeotlvely
as It can be done by tho federal government
and if it Is doue by the
States, the objection based upon the
fear of centralization is entirely answered.
A board comprised of representatives
from the various States
could deal with the joint tralllc of the
various lines.
While the Democratic party in the
nation Is advocating government ownership
of railroads, the Democratic
party in the cities should upon the
same theory espouse the cause of municipal
ownerships of municipal franchises.
GOVBIIKMKNT TKL.KOIIA I'll.
"We have also reached a time when
the posbotllce department should embrace
a telegraph system as well as
a mall system.
"The telegraph lines do not reach
as many people as the rallr iads do and
while the abuses to private ownership
have not been so open and notorious,
yet there Is no reason why tbefr nation
should not do what other nations ate
doing in this respect.
"The Democratic party has In twu
campaigns stood for. an income tax.
The plank was omitted this year because
the men in control 6f the party
trtanuirht It. wnnlrt Iftrnvi l-rll/p riioapsu in

have weight when the appeal Is made
to a particular section and to the
wealthy men of that section, but it
cannot have weight when the party
goes forth, as It must ultimately do,
to appeal to the masses.
"The contest above outlined must
be made whether the party wins in
November or not. If Mr. Parker is
elected his administration will rid us
of imperialism and of the threat of a
race issue and give us greater freedom
in the taking up of economic questions."
CARGO OF OIL ON FIRE.
Thrilling Experiences of the Crew of
The Ilritlsh Ship Creedmor.
A special from Woodshole, Mass.,
says Capt. John Humphries of the
British ship Creedmoor, and crew
were landed here Thursday, having
escaped from their vessel which was
burned off Fire Island Wednesday.
The crew of the Creedmoor numbered
18 men besides the captain.
The men lost everything. They left
the ship in tier own boats and were
picked up soon afterwards by a passing
schooner which transferred them
to a tug off Martha's Vineyard early
Wednesday.
Capt. Humphries and the rescued
members of the crew of the Creedmoor
arrived In New York city Thursday
evening. The Creedmoor, which left
this port on Monday with a cargo of
50,000 gallons of naphtha, gasolene
and benzine for Liverpool, according
to the story of the captain and crew,
was about 40 miles east of Fire Island
on Wednesday evening when lire broke
out on the poop deck just forward of
the main saloon.
When the alarm was given Capt.
Humphries put the vessel about while
the members of the crew under Mate
M. M. Adams were doing their best
to hold the (lames In check. Tho
presence of the lire was made known
by an explosion which was quickly
followed by otheis.
At first the water poured on the
blazing poop deck had noeiYect. After
about an hour's work the crew seemed
to have the tire in check, and at
that time the Creedmoor was making
for New York at good speed. A little
after 10 p. m. the tire made its appearance
again in the poop deck sec?
lion of the vessel and this time the
gasolene had become ignited and it
was expected that tire oil-laden ship
would blow up at any moment.
Despite the depurate situation, Capt.
Humphlrcs and his crew sought a second
time to hold the tire in check,
but the streams of water only tended
to carry the tire to other parts of the
ship and in a few minutes the struggle
was abandoned.
The lifeboat and the sh'p's yawl
were lowered. The lookout on the
forecastle, a Portuguese sailor named
Marc, was called with the other members
of the crew, but he did not re*
spond. lie was called again. Then
he leaned over tho side of the forecastle
and appeared to be helpless
with terror. In a few minutes the
ship was wrecked from stem to stern
by a series of heavy explosions.
Members of Mob Arrested.
A special from Danville Friday says
Wicker Armes, Solomon Hutchings,
W. Hal Kagland, Frank Childress and
William Harris, participants in the
l?te attempt to force the city Jail for
the purpose of wreaking veogence
upon a negro charged with murder,
were Friday arrested and the first
three balled in the sum of 1200 each
for their appearance before the
mayor's court on Tusday next. Childress
and Harris went to Jail In default
of bond.

A special from Chicago Wednesday 4,
i-ays: The strike of packing house ui
employes begun ulue days ago &ud in
which has demoralized the packing ^
industry throughout the country, was ol
settled Wednesday at a conference
between representatives of the packers,
the oftlcials of the meat cutters ^
union and representatives of all the l(
allied trades employed at the stock
yards. The whole controversy will ^
be submitted to a board of arbltra- ki
tion, both sides agreeing to abide by <1;
whatever decision this board may 01
reach. Pending the decision of the t(
arbitration board the men will be '>
taken back to work as rapidly as
possible by the packers and it is
agreed by the packers that all the (|
old employes are to be reinstated p
within 45 days from the date work is
resumed. If any of tire former employes
are still unemployed at the
expiration of that time such persons ^
are to have the privilege of submit H(
ting their cases to the arbitration ^
board for settlement. The strikers (j
will return to work as soon as they (j
can bo notified of the peaceable ad- f,
justment of the trouble, and It is ex- g
pccted thut by Friday morning every- yi
thing wi l ire in normal shape at all
the plants in tire dllTerent cities where NV
the employes were on strike. Half a,
an hour after the decision had been
reached to arbitrate, M. J. Donnelly, T
I the strike leader, had secured communication
by long distance telephone T
with the leaders of the strikers in
outside cities and had notified them 1
that a satisfactory settlement had
been reached and directed the strikers ,,
to return to work as soon as possible. |.

The settlement of the ditheulty by ![

controversy together again and ar- fi
range some sort of agreement which t
would prevent the strike spread ng to v
the atllllated unions. This appeal of
the allied trade unions received a
favorable response from the packers a
and Wednesday's conference was the a
result. t,
The agreement reached at Wednesday
night conference Is practically the
same as the proposition made last
Saturday to the packers by Mr. Don- *
nolly. The only difference is that in
Saturday's communication Mr. Don- v
nelly inslstedthat the strikers be all p

This the packers refused, although if
they agreed to accept every demand o
made hy Mr. Donnelly.
When the men return to work it
will he under exactly the same conditions
as prevailed before the strike (
was declared, with the exception that. t
the question of a wage scale will be
decided by arbitration. .
As many of the old employes as can
be reached by the offlolals of the union (|
will be notltled to return.to work. All
the strikers who appear at the plants j
will be put to work as fast as possible
and It Is believed that all the estab- (

$20,000,000 TO BOOST COTTON. t
y
Southern Cotton Corporation Ik j'
Formed in New York. >a
C
A special to the Atlanta C mstitu- d
tlon from New York says: Instead ^
of Daniel J. Sully being made the ?
president of the new company known
as the Southern Cotton Corporation with
a capital of $20,000,000, to lm- *
prove cotton culture and method of
making tiie staple, that post will be
occupied by Colonel S. F. B. Morse,
who was a partner in the llrm of ,
Daniel J. Sully & Co.
The articles of incorporation of this
company were tiled at Trenton. It
will have a capital of $20,000,000, of
which $f>,000,000 will be prefered and
$15,000,000 a mmon stock. The par
value of tire preferred is $100 a share,
but the par value of the common,
which will be taken largely in the
south, will be only $20 per share.
The decision to place Colonel Morse
In this position was made by the
ilnancial backers of the concern because
of the fact that as the bead of I
the tratllc department of the South- I
erm'"Pacific railroad, stationed in New
Orleans, he was very prominent in the 0
educational campaign which resulted *
in the diversifying of the southern
crops.
The company controls the Whit- y
man square bale press, which is an
Improved mechanism for baling and
ginning cotton. It will compress as
thoroughly as the present round bale
but will not meet with such opposition
as was encountered by those who Introduced
the round baling pre cess. 2
Because of the less likelihood of tire,
this new bale has already been called
the "underwriter's bale."
A comprehensive were house system
will also be established, which 11
will enable growers to hold their cot- p
ton if they so desire, Instead of sell
ing in the glutted market in the early
season. The board of directors will
be announcad In a few days. The
principal ofllcc of the company will be in
that city, with branches in various
southern cities.

"1 AndThedford'ft Black-Draught
Wm a good medicine for 1 i er disease.
It enroll my on after ho had spent
$100 with doctor*. It isall the nied'cine
I take."--MRS (Al'OUNH
MARTIN, Parkersburg, W. Va.
If your liver does not net regularly
go to your irtiggist and
secure a package of '1 Bedford's
Black-Draught arid take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated
bowels, stirs tin the torpid liver ?
and causes a healthy secretion
of Idle.
Tliedford's Black - Draught
will cleanse the bowels of impurities
and strengthen the kidnevs.
A torpid liver invites
colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sickness
amicontagion. Weak kidneys
result in Bright's disease
which claims as many victims
as consumption. A 25-cent
package of Tliedford's BlackDraught
should always be kept
in the house.

Indigestion Causes
Catarrh of the
Stomach.
For many years It has been supposed that
Catarrh of the Stomach caused indigestion
and dyspepsia, but the truth is exactly the
opposite. Indigestion causes catarrh. Repeated
attacks of indigestion Inflames the ;
mucous membranes lining the stomach and ;
exposes the nerves of the stomach, thus caus- ,
Ing the glands to secrete muoin Instead of
the Juices of natural digestion. This is
called Catarrh of the Stomach.
Kodol Dyspepsia Cure
relieves all inflammation of the mucous j
membranes lining the stomach, protects the
nerves, and cures bad breath, sour risings, a
sense of fullness after eating, indigestion, I
dyspepsia and all stomach troubles.
Kodol Digests What You Eat
Make the Stomach Sweet.
