A Serious Cotton Disease (Anthrac
nose) and How to Handle it.
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.

Worked Preachers Through a Marry
ing Game.
Ctalc*#o DUpatch.
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."

Fight Between Buck Deer and Bull.
Press dispatches tell of a fight
between a buck deer . and a bull

the deer jumped aside.
The bull was no match tor the

buck made an .attack, and hla
horns were buried in a vital spot
In the bull's body and the animal

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.
