N.C. Agriculture Exp. Htatlon Rulletlen. There is a disease of cotton which is yearly attracting incteas ed attention throughout the cot ton belt. It is known as cotton anthracnose. It is most easily recognized when on the boll, where it forms ulcer-like spots, which, np they age, become pink in the centers. The spot may enlarge so as to af fect the whole boll. The diseased part of tho boll usually fails to open and often tho contents rot. Enquiries from various sections of the State are being received al most daily at tho Experiment Station concerning the, disease. It has also been -especially severe In Alabama and Georgia during recent years, so severe in the lat ter State tliat the'legislature lias made a large special appropria tion for its investigation. Although the disease is seen and recogni/.ed most prominently on the bolls, it also occurs on the leaves and stems. Cotton grow ers should know that this disease la carried from season to season on the seed, and that seed from a aick boll, even though veryslighty diseaeed, may raise a diseased plant, and this in turn may spread the disease to the whole crop of the next season. There is no satisfactory treatment, and the one point to be remembered Is that seed from diseased fields la 11ke1.% to carry the disease, in fact, almost sure to do so. Even seed from clean fields which has pass ed through a gin in which diseas ed cotton has been ginned is dangerous. Itisofutmost impor tance for the grower to be sure that IKs Cotton soed does not COQIO from a field or from a region wheru this dlseaae prevails. F. L. STKVKNH, ' | r Plant Pathologist. JamraU.

A dozen preachers are condoling with each other over the loss of good money, of which they were defrauded by a counterfeiter and a woman accomplice, who repeat edly presented themselves for marriage and also presented false S2O bills in payment of a $lO fee. Under tho names of Gustavo Fos ter and Amanda Thomas, an elder ly but apparently loving pair, at various times presented them selves at the parsonages of the several preachers and desired to be married. After the ceremony had been performed the man said: "I wish, sir that I could reward you with S2O for thia kiud act of yours, which makes a happy end ing to a eourtahip lasting many years, but my purse is somewhat slim and I can afford but $10." So aaying, be tendered a S3O bill and the clergyman, well pleas ed to have performed- this noble office, as well na to get a winfall of $lO, gave him back $lO in real money. "I tried to bny a book ef ser mons with my S2O bill," said the preacher who told the story, "but wits repulsed by an angry sales man, who threatened to have me arrested." A Hlft UraS* SM FariSer.

The task of attempting to pat an end to all Initiative and refer endum legislation In this country was began today in tba Supreme Court of the United State*. Counsel for the Pacific States Telephone & Telegraph Company filed a brief with the eonrt attack ing a taxing lawdf Oregon because it was enacted by virtnre of the iutlative amendment to the State constitution which is alleged to be in violation of the Federal con* stitntion. It is urged, first that the failure of the company to have a hearing before the raising of its taxes by the intiatlre method placed the telephone company at a d laadvantege with other* taxed after being heard by the State Legislature. In this way it waa claimed equal protection of the laws was denied it. The initiative amendment and the Oregon tax were denounced in the brief as violative of the right of a republican form of government, which waa guaran teed by the Federal eonatltatioa. It was contended that in legisla tion the minority rarely, If ever, falls to moderate the wishes of the majority, however powerful, but that government by direct legislation is government by brute force. Gov. Wood row Wilson, ot New Jersey, waa quoted aa saying that a government ought to have ita law-making body as "it ean no more make law through ita voters than it can make law through Ita newspapers." Reference" was made to the claim that the intlative method of legislation is a check against cor ruption of legislators. "It were better," the telephone oompany contended, "that the struggle against abuse and corruption should continue than that they should be eradicated by the cries and practices of government revo lutionary in character and found ed on error or injustice." Relying to the contention that the intlative ia a reserve power for rare use, the, attacking brief quotes from the election records of Oregon to show that in 1904 two measures were on the ballot; in 1906, eleven; In 1908, nineteen, and in 1910, thirty-two. It was asserted that no despot or mon arch would be permitted to role in any commonwealth of the na tion and yet the "despotism of the multitude 1s arbitrary and complete aa the absolutism of a despot." In this connection President Taft's views regarding the rights of the minority as expressed in his recent veto of the Arizona Statehood resolution were quoted. IT'S EftUU DON'T KXtST.
