Has the dreaded boll weevil made

this . section such great concern. . doe
not seem to exactly lit the description
of the celebrated boll "weeyil that made
ts start in Texas and has devastated
great portion of . the South, It is
doing the same work.'
A farmer interviewed last night,

his broad acres planted in the fleecy
staple, gave the following particulars
of the trouble: , , - - '
"As mall worm enter the bollr mak
ing a hole about the size of a pin point.
Shortly after . the 'rupture, is noticed,
the boll begins to decay and drops to
the ground. : The blossoms, which is
ust putting out the boll, is also alter
ed in the same way, and quickly drops.
These bolls 4 blossom's fairly carpet
the earth on my farm, and several other
large fields which I have examined in
Pamlico and Carteret : counties ... look
ust as bad as mine." '
"This scourge seems to be covenng
all the counties of this coastal plain.
One cotton grower that I talked . with
today says that he dissected hundred
of fallen bolls, to find them decayed
inside. '.Only one ;of the - worms was
found, and he seemed to be a youngster,
little: largef "than a horsehair.- .There
is much speculation among the farmers
about this terror,. that is blighting their
nrosoects. Some think .it the boll wee
vil, while others, who claim to. have
read the reports of the Bureau of Agri
culture on this cotton pest, declare it
is something new." r ) t
'The result of the deprecations oi

continued this well known farmer and
business man,? "The first I saw of it
was three weeks' ago In Carteret county,
In Pamlico county the tarmers. are
greatly alarmed. If this pest keeps on

NEW SCHEME FILLS

Several inquiries have been received
bv The Journal In regard to the cold
storage facilities furnished by the New
Bern Ice Company, and told ol in tne
Journal several day ago. This cold
srotasre room was installed in the. nature
of an experiment by the manager of the
ice company, but the business in that
line will undoubtedly grow, as, soon
as the people of this section begin to
realize the great benefits to be derived
from cold storage, and the. manulact
urers of ice will be compelled to great
ly increase their facilitiesThis storage
scheme seems to be filling that prover

courage to hold out any definite - pro

"We intend to put a large number
of speakers on the road and . use then!
to advocate- these and other cbnstruc
tive. features of the platform in order
that the average man may be informed
as to the necessity of a rational pro
gram covering the relations between
capital and labor in this country and
development of -American business at
home and abroad. - .
J'If you belive as we do that the sin
cere enactment of these proposals into
law wilt mean a higher development of
our commercial prosperity and are in
favor of the vigorous advocacy of these
planks regardless of what party ' you
