CARROLLTON, On., July 2.—The
first cotton bloom seen In Carrollton
was exhibited on the morning of July
1 and wns brought In by Mr. Doss Gray,
a farmer living four miles southeast of
Carrollton. Mr. Gray says several np
peared In his crop two or three dnys
ago. This makes the present cotton
situation two weeks later than nn av
erage year In this section. Crops are
in a very fine state of tlllsge nnd rains
have recently fallen In about all parts
of tho county, relieving the distressing
drouth. Planters are busy working
over their crops nnd some are getting
In readiness to "lay by." Corn has
stood the drouth remarkably well und
Is very promising now. The [touch crop
In this section Is excellent and Is being
gathered In fine condition for market.
Wheat threshing season Is about cloned
and while the acreage Is below an av
erage and owing to the continued dry
weather the wheat Is not line, but a
heavier heading wus never on the crop
and a considerable amount of wheat
Is in the country.
Weevil at Dudley.
DUDLEY. Ga., July 2.—There Is nn
Insect In this section which, If not a

fected more or less with this Insect.
In my opinion the crop will be ma
terially damaged.

To tho Editor of The Telegraph; A
few dnva ngo a statement was made In
The Telegraph that Mr. W. F. Lindsey
of Dyas had sent some genuine Tfexaji
boll weevils to your office. I wish to
correct the statement nn to the pnrty
sending the weevils. Mr. W. II. Evans
of Dyas Is the gtfiUsm*0 , ’tligt br«»uKht

Mr. W. II. Evans with several other
cotton rotpers around Russelvllle have
noticed this weevil for several years.
For six or eight years It hns been dam
aging our cotton crops nt this place,
and thev were nlso seen In Forsyth Inst
year. Tills may not be the Texas boll
weevil, hut It is a weevil that Is doing
n great deal of harm to the cotton crop.
If It 1s lb" Texas boll weevil, we tnay
not look for that grant destruction of
ip* from It here ns there In in Texas,
may he thnt climatic conditions do
not suit them as well here ns In Texas
Mexico. It hns been with us for six
eight yenrs and hns never complete
ly ruined a crop. Home spots are hurt
more than others. But he this weevil
whatever it may. It Is a pest to he
dreaded. If the Texas boll weevil at-,
tacks bolls ns rendlly ns they do forms,
then we would doubt this being the
Texas weevil. The principal point of at
tack with this weevil seems to he the
tender forms. Your cotton will he targe
enough lo have forms on It nnd you
cannot find them. These weevils suck
them and they dlsnppenr by drying up.
Forms seldom, If ever, drop off. They
bloom nnd then drop. These weevils do
not let the form get old enough to
bloom. If you examine your cotton
leaves and do not see enough forms,
opal) some of the forms that are there
and you can find from one to four In a
form. W. F. HARDIN.

ntor W. C. Sheffield of Early county,
who In 1H00 represented the Ninth dis
trict, wns nt the stnte house today
calling upon Comptroller-General
Wright nnd other officials at the cap-
Itoi. Comptroller-General Wright. In
speaking of him, said: "Mr. Sheffield
Introduced nnd caused to bo enacted
one of the very best laws that we have
upon our books, I refer to the law
requiring tax collectors to make
monthly reports of their collections,
nnd In addition settle with thn county
and stato promptly on the first of every
month. Under this law the tax col
lector of a county must make a report
monthly nnd pay over to tho county
nnd state each Its sharn of thn collect
tlons made by him.
These reports are made In triplicate
form, one/ for the county, another for
the stnte rind the third for himself.
This law causes the tax collector to be
prompt In his dealings with the county
and state, and at the snnio time places
the county and state In a position to
keep up with what he Is doing. The
law Is a most excellent one, and. In my
opinion, Is one of the very best that
has been placed upon our books. Un
der It the state and county gets what
money Is coming to them monthly, nnd
this fact greatly reduces the chunces
of any loss to either."
