THEY DENY M'LAHE'S
STATEMENT,
In Interview at Knoxville Govern
ment Expert Declared That 801 l
Weevil Had Ruined Cotton
Prospects of Trans-
Mississippi States.
Little Rock, Ark.. September 21—Ar
kansas cotton men and especially those
tn this city, which is the chief market
for the state, discredit the statements
in the interview given out at Knoxville,
Tenn., by Charles P. McLane, a chem
ist In the employ of the agricultural de
partment of the United States govern
ment, who has spent two months study
ing the boll weevil in the cotton produc
ing country of the southwest.
Mr. McLane says a portion of Arkan
sas has been devastated by the boll
weevil, and that western Arkansas and
especially Hempstead county presents a
desolate appearance. After a hasty but
thorough investigation it has been es
tablished beyond the peradventure of a
doubt that there are no boll weevils in
Arkansas.
Recently In Woodruff county in this
state an insect appeared which caused
much damage to cotton and is still caus
ing it. It was thought by the planters
that these insects were the Mexican boll
weevil, but investigation proved them to
be the sharpshooter, a pest which does
almost as great a damage as tile boll
weevil but which disappears after one
season and may not appear m the same
legion for a number u. years or at. all,
whereas the boll weevil when once it
appears stays year after year.
A special to The Arkansas Gazette,
from Hope, the county seat of Hemp- '
stead county, says tne crop there is
good, though it has suffered some dete
rioration, but no more than that suffered i
in other Arkansas counties, and there
has been no evidence of boil weevil.
A Gazette special from W asnington, ,
L>. C., says:
"Dr. L. O. Howard, chief of the depart- .
ment of entomology, said today that he ,
had no record of the boll weevil in any
of the northwest Texas border counties.
Dr. Howard added, however, that there
was a bare possibility of isolated cases.
For instance, not long ago a few of the
weevils were found at the Louisiana ex
periment statldn, and just how they
go there 1 was never known. If the weevil
had been doing "great damage’ in .Ar
kansas the agricultural department would
certainly have heard about it. Fre
quently a boll weevil scare is precipi
tated by tlie discovery of insects that re
semble the weevil, but are altogether dif
ferent.
"The department Is constantly receiv
ing all sorts of Insects which are claimed
to be boll weevil, but are not."

Shortag-e of the Texas Crop.
Houston, Tex., September 27.—The Post
tomorrow will publish a report showing
that great damage has been done to cot
ton over the state by the boll weevil,
the boll worm, the sharpshooter and dry
v eather.
The estimate of the probable crop,
based on the reports from country cor
respondents. is placed at 2.500,000, pro
vided that there is a late frost.
The popular estirrate six weeks ago
was 6,000,000 bales.
The reports of insect damage come
from eighty-nine counties. About a
dozen counties report a good crop pros
pect, but these are mostly from pro
due ers.
It is stated that there is absolutely
no chance for a "top” or second crop.
COAST LINE FRANCHISE.
Arbitrattors Double the Valuation
Placed by the Read.
Th- Atlantic Coast Line s franchise re
turn has been more than doubled by
the arbitrators, and the assessment of
the tangible property of the road stands
practically as fixed by the comptroller
general.
The arbitrators made up their award
late Tuesday afternoon, after a three
days’ hearlrg, submitting their figures
to Comptroller General Wright just as
he was leaving his office for the night.
The arbitrators in this case were G.
Gunby j’ordan, for the state; C. P.
Goodyear, for the railsl, and former
Governor Allen D. Candler, umpire.
The return made by the railfo:|
placed a valuation of $6,961,447 on t;i ■
tangible property and $1,130,922 on the
franchise, the total being $8,092,369, or
$12,135 a mile for the 666 1.10 miles if
trackage owned by this road in the state
of Georgia.
The comptroller general refused >n {i-i>
cept this return and assessed th? prop
erty himself, increasing the valuation of
the tangible property to $8,251,471 and
the valuation of the franchise to $4,662,-
000, the total being $12,913,471, or $19,-
387 a mile.
The award pb.ced a valuation of SB.-
185.416 on the tangible property’ and
$2,464,570 on the franchise. This left
the assessment ■ it the tangible property
I raetic.illy intact, but cut the assessment
of the franchise nearly in two. The rate
per trip under the award is $15,983.54.
May Appeal to the Courts.
That the railroad." of Georgia will in the
near future resist in the courts the taxes
now levied against them is the growing
opinior among leading corporation law
yers of the state.
These predictions are based upon con
tentions that the arbitration system re
sults in an unequal distribution of tax
ation and that corporate property, com
pared to other property, is valued tor
taxation purposes at a much higher per
cent than that of private individuals.
The fact that the award in the Atlanta
Coast Line .ase fixed the taxable value
01 that system at a high'-: rate per mil '
than the other lines doing a similar busi
ness is cited in support of these conten
tions. This road may. inde. d, be the lie t
or among tlie first to appeal from the
award of arbitrators and submit the ques
tion of how much it should be taxed to
the supremo court.

NOT FOR WHITE. BUT FOR LAW.
Judge Lore, of Delaware, on the
Lynching- of the Negro.
Wilmington, Del.. September 21.—Chief
Justice Lore, of the Delaware supreme
court, today delivered a strong charge
to the grand jury which is considering
the criminal work of tlie county courts.
After reciting the details of the murder
on June 15 of Helen Itishop by George
White and the subsequ nt lyn "hing of
While by a mob. Justice Lore said:
"The crime of George White and his
punishment are not before us. On his
body human vengeance has don. its work.
If the matter concerned George White
alone, there would be nothing left for
our consideration. Rut for the first time
the lawless and revolting crime of lynch
ing has invaded this state. We have
heard of lynching as a punishment for
horse stealing in the south and west and
for homicides, criminal assauit and other
crimes elseirht re, but we flattered our
selves that such scenes could not occur
in our community, composed as it is ■
largely of that good old English stock I
whose obedience to law has been one
of tl.e secrets of our civilization and of
the safety of our people. We are now
confronted, however, with this crime, and
must meet it- Shall we invite its visi
tation in the future by acquiescing in its
perpetration or make such crime hereaf
ter improbable, if not inn ossrble, by deal
ing out adequate punishment.
"No good citizen, we ate persuaded, can
regard the lynching of George White in
any other light than as a brutal crime,
and as a flagrant violation of the law.
Gentlemen, in tills country we make our
laws. It is the duty’ of every good man
to obey tiie law himself and see that it
is obeyed by others as far as he may.
Lynching is a crime against the law of
both God and man. Every wilful par
ticipant in such an act is a murderer. No
man has- a right to commit that crime
. t.ecu use he believes or fears some other
person who is entrusted with the execti
l lion of the law wlil fail or has failed in
1 i lie performance of his duty. Under the
I law we know what our rights are, and
i in the main we find they are fairly at
. rained and enforced. No human laws or
I human institutions are perfect. This no
; reasonable man will expect.
i "Lynching and mob law. their pro
moters and encouragers. whether they’ be
| of high or low degree, should receive no
I favors at tlie hands of thoughtful and
; patriotic men. There must be govern
, iis i.t or nongovernment. The line of
i cleavage is clear.
I Tn obedience to the oath you have
i taken to do your duty to your state, we
ask yon to so act that the crime of
lynching may be suppressed in this state,
so far as by your action that end may
lie attained and that the perpetrators of
this crime and the authors of tlie disgrace
that lias come oh us through their crime
shall be dealt with according to their
just merits.”

Cardinal Gibbons’ Position During
the Civil War.
New. York. September 22.—Cardinal
Gibbons arrived hire urday on the Keiser
Wilhelm Der Grosse. A delegation of
priests and laymen from Haltiinoie went
down the buy in a revenue cutter to greet
him and welcome him home.
The cardinal was not inclined to dis
cuss the probable policy of the new papal
regime, but said that no radical changes
in American church administration would
ensue.
Concerning the probable relations be
tween the new pope and the Italian
government, Cardinal Gibbons said.
"The pope as patriarch of Venice was
on very friendly terms with tlie king,
but what a man does when lie is a mere

FUSIONISTS NAME SETH LOW.

convened tonight, the former at thel

tlie city tick"! tlie candidates decided on
al the conference of the anti-Tammany
forces—Seth Low for mayor, with Edward
M. Grout for comptroller and Charles

The platform adopted declared that "the
republicans of New York unqualifiedly in
dorse the efficient and businesslike ad
ministration 'of May.it Low. Comutrolier
Grout and President Fornes,” and de
clared that every principle of two
ago had been fulfilled in letter and spir
it. The issue of the campaign was de
clared to be the continuance of this "hon
est. intelligent and progressive adminis
tration."
The nomination of Mayor j,ow was
voted unanimously, the nominations of
the other eandidites following.

STEEL PLANTS MAY CLOSE.
Overstocked Market and Small Trade
the Cause Offered.
Pittsburg. Pa., September 23. —The
United States Steel Corporation may close
all its sheet steel plants in the near fu
ture unless the Amalgamated Association
will consent to a reduction under the
same plan as was agreed upon last fall.
The reason for this attitude is an over
stocked market and the dullness of trade
at this time of year.
Last year the Amalgamated Association
accepted a reduction of 3 per cent on all
material made for foreign jobs and the
steel company, it is said, intends to make
a similar request this year. President T. I.
Shaffer, of the Amalgamated, stated
that he felt sure that the limit would not
be changed and that existing conditions
do not warrant it.

Condition of the Crops in Georgia,
North and South Carolina, Flor
ida and Alabama Rains
l . Damaged Cotton in
Georgia.
Washington, September 22.—(Special.)
Unusual interest attaches to tlie cli
mate and crop bulletin of the weather
bureau issued today for the week end
ing September 21. In tlie general sum
mary the bulletin lias this to say of Geor
gia, South Carolina and contiguous ter
ritory:
"Except in portions of tlie eastern dis
tricts of tlie cotton belt, where cotton
picking lias been interrupted by rains,
tlie weather conditions have been very
favorable for gathering the crop, and
this work has progressed rapidly. The
prevalence of rust, shedding and bad
worms is widespread, and the boll weevil
In Texas continues destructive, although
premature opening in South Carolina,
tust in Georgia and shedding in Ala
lia ma have been somewhat checked.
Heavy rains have injured, the staple Jn
Georgia, South Carolina and Florida.
Cotton is opening rapi jly ir. all districts
The outlook for a top crop is not promis
ing. Late tobacco has suffered from
drought in Tennessee and Kentucky and
heavy rains in North Carolina, and
frost* caused some Injury in Kentucky.
Damp weather has proved injurious to
tobacco in barns in Maryland. The
bulk of the crop is now housed. The
reports continue to Indicate extensive
prevalence of blight and decay in pota
toes. , ,
'•Plowing and seeding have advanced
satisfactorily except ill the Ohm valley
and Tennessee, where the soil has been
too drv, and in the northern portion of
‘he middle Atlantic states, where there
has teen too much. rain. Statements ny
state section directors of the climate and
ciop service are as follows:
NORTH CAROLINA— Raleigh; Rains
benefited all late crops, but were locally
hcavv In the west, with high winds,
causing a little damagp to corn and to
bacco; rapid fall ip temperature, with
light froat in extereme west, causing no
j injury. Cotton doing well, and picking
: progressing favorably. Nearly all corn
' ready'to be gathered. Cutting and curing

weeks. An inferior crop of winter ap
ples. Seasan for other fruits over. Fall

vancing rajjidly.
| SOU'LH CAROLINA—Columbia: Rain
; fall excessive and damaging in south

crops improved slightly. Too cool for
trin-k. Rice harvest interrupted; some
fields flooded and stacked rice damaged.
Grain sowing begun.
| GEORGlA—Atlanta: General rains first

NEW BUILDING IS READY.
■ Mississippi State. Officials Are Al
ready Moving Into Capitol.
Jackson, Mi.-s., September 24.—(Special.)
By the Ist of October the handsome cap
ital recently built by the state at a cost
of over $1,000,000 will be occupied by the
| state officials and become the state's of-
I fi'.-lal home.
I The work of moving has already com
! menced, and during the next ten days or
;so will be in full swing. The work of
moving the records and other parapher
nalia of the various departments from the
old building will be an almost herculean
task.
! The accumulation of records that will
I have to be moved and taken care of
! alone amounts to a huge contract. There
arc tons of them, and the handling of
i them must be done with the greatest of
i care. While the new building cannot be
completely furnished because of lack of
money for this purpose, still a great deal
of new’ furniture has arrived and been
placed in position and makes a very hand
some appearance.
The occupancy of the new eapitoi makes
j necessary tlie providing of means for its
I proper keeping. This expense, because of
| the great size ot the building and the
I light and heating plants, wifi be very
> much greater than that of the old build-
I lug and no provision can be made for
this additional cost until the next session
of the legislature. It is presumed, how
ever. that tlie governor intends to make
some arrangement to borrow the money
for this and depend upon the legislature
making the amount good.
Too High Price for Silver.
Washington, September 24.—The direc
tor of the mint for the last two purchase,
days has refused all offers of silver for
Philippine coinage account owing to the
high prices asked. Today 160.000 ounces
were offered at 60.27 Q cents an ounce,
but no purchases were made.
