2 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. THE WILD WEST.

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.” — ■— ON THE VERGE OF INSANITY.

A delegation of priests and laymen from Haltiinoie went down the buy in a revenue cutter to greet him and welcome him home.

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 private in tlie ranks, so to speak, and when he is elevated to power and respon sibility are wholly different things.

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. - • IS WORKING ON HIS MESSAGE.

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.
