Bates, who has pleaded guilty to the; embezzlement of about $150,000 of 1 ihe funds of the Liberty National j Bank, of Columbia, to $5,000 fine in- , stead of the sentence of five years' | imprisonment and $5,000 fine, which t had .'been pronounced against him in the courts. Judge H. A. M. Smith, of the fed- i eraTcourt for the Eastern district of , South Carolina, had granted a stay of 1 sentence until next Monday at noon i . in order to allow time for The appeal for commutation. Solicitor General James S. Beck , heard the plea of the two South Car- ; olinians who appeared as counsel for ' Bates, but he told them that the De- 1 partmdnt of Justice could not take ' action at this time, as Bates had not begun to serve his sentence, so Bates will have to go to jail. .V^v- ir-'vi 1 ___________________ THE MODEL A dowager. owinc to certain I, ? changes in her household, had to J i part with her butler.

The boll veevil injury is directly dependent up ?n the weather conditions. If the sett?on Is moist and ffcvorable for wee^'i? Sevelopment, very serious damage It expected in the southern part of the itate approximately below a line ex tending from Augusta to Charleston, but severs damage may also be expect ed In the Coastal counties between Charleston and the North Carolina line tf the season is wet. Que of the most important habits that we n*ust form In general farm management is to practice farm clean Ing during the fall and winter because most of our insect pests, including th* Ka?11 vsmHI wintAr nhAltAT in th*1 I dead I^ares Mod grass, and along ditch banks, fence rows, wood lots, old orcb ards and roadsides. Several of ou*-( most serious pests find winter-quarters to and around the cotton and corn stalks during the winter. If for any reason these stalks hare not been prop wly Cleaned up by plowing under, burn* Ing, or otherwise by December first It should be'done Immediately; and if any remain bj January first, they should not be allowed to stay one day longer. In the dead grass, along wood lota, under bark, and around stumps that are left in the field millions of field crop insect pests winter success ' fully. Therefore, a farmer should nevet Fall to look upon the stumps In the Field as a winter hotel for the accomodation of farm pests. \ The Shot Hole Borer. In many of the orchards at this season of the year there are trees thai aate the bark full of small holes the size of a number eight shot. These holes are made by the shot hole borei j or fruit bark beetle, and as this pest stays in the bark during the winter Jn [he grub stage, it is now the proper ] time of the year to give it very close attention. A tree infested with shcrt bole borers is not to be regarded as ? ' sound tree. In most cases it has been . weakened by peach tree borer In tb* rrown, or scale on the bark, or both, ind when a tree Is thus weakened it : Imiwwim *n id Mil breeding: around for the shot hole borer. Prune the tre* back thoroughly and cut out all badly i tofested branches; But If you do nei ] intend to burn this material Immediately, then you might as well leave It on the tree. Burn all pruned material and t lo not let it lie In the orchard. ( Control Of 8ealet. The lime-sulphur wasb. one of the:' insecticides used for the control oi teale, may be purchased in the market 3T it may be made at home preferably by means of a steam boiler. It can also ; be made by the use of a large iron ket tie, provided the correct formula is i used and directions followed closely.
