Strictly ?pvMMiB, ami bwuu rv Presidents' sons, concerning whom there are available records, have grown to manhood, says the Ohio Magazine. Six Presidents-Washington, Mad ison, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, (a bachelor), and McKinley-loft no children Two-Jefferson and Monroe-left daughtors only. President Johnson had only two sons, both died before ho was President, and so do not count. The sons of thirteen Presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Van Buron, William Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and Ben jami.? Harrison-ha\e lived to man's estate Tue HUHS of Cleveland and Roosevelt are still boys. , Of tho twenty-one Presidents' sons who have reached manhood, nine have bulked large in the pi Mic eye on their own account, and all but ono or two have been solid, substantial citizens. The prominent nine are John Quincy Adama, President, diplomat ist and representative; Charles Fran cis A (innis, publicist and statesman; Robert Tyler, register of the Confed erate Treasury, Richard Taylor, who served with distinguished gallantry on the Confederate side of the civil war; John Van Buren, prominent In State politics and just entering na tional politics wheu he died; Robert Todd Lincoln, cabinet minister, dip lomatist and president of <a world famous corporation; Frederick Dent Grant, diplomatist and general in thc army; Henry A. Garfield, lawyer, banker and professor of politics in a great university, and James R. Gar field, .State Senator, United States Civil Service Commissioner, Commis sioner of Corporations In the Depart ment of Commerce and Labor, and now In the Cabinet as Secretary of the Inter!.r. Besides the nine who have climb ed so high, there is John Scott Harri son, who had the unique distinction of being the son of one President and tho father of another. He was a man of force and of great influence In his own State, though he was not a prominent figure in a national sense. Counting him in--aud he surely "made good," as the saying is -ten, or less than half of tho Pre sidents' BOSS who have roached man hood aro entitled to bo named on the roll of honor. Practically all of the Presidents' sons who have grown to man's estate have been good citizens; their lives have been clean, wholesome, and a credit alike to their parentage and their country, while ten of the twen ty havo won unusual distinction. lt would be hard to lind any othor class of prominent citizens whose sons have doue as well as those of the Presidents.

Down in Indian Territory it is Also Hatching thc Frosh Eggs.

"When the sun creeps up 'pop, pop, pop,' is heard all through the corn patch "Miller ls now eating popcorn off the cob. An ear of ti e. corn may bo seen in a ?dore window here.

Such is thc Itulm:; of President Akin, of,GeorgIu-Thc Ruling Stands. (Atlanta Georgian, August 15.) When is a niau not a gentleman? When he becomes a member of the Georgia Senate. At least this ls President John W. Akin's ruling, and up to the present there has been no appeal from the ruling of the chair on the point. Unmistakably and without equivo cation President Akin has ruled that w'ien a man roachos the Georgia Sen ate he is no longer a "gentleman," regardless of his past standing in that respect, and that he 1? only "Sen ator." Issue arose Tuesday morning when Senator Hardman was under fire while discussing his bill for the regis tration of trained n.urses. Senator Camp and Knight had offered an amendment which provided that "nothing in this act shall be con strued to prohibit the author of this bill, Dr. Hardman, from having two nurses, trained or in process of train ing, to attend him when necessary." Senator Knight was In a disputa tious mood. He launched his shafts nt tho head of Senator Hardman adroitly. But he slipped. Not once did he refer to 1 ii n as "the Senator from tho Thlrt.v l nlrd," but always ns "tho gentleman." Up rose Presider.t Akin and. gavel ing the body to decorum, sternly pro mulgated: "I regret exceedingly to call any member of this body to task,but when there ls open violation of tho rules of this body and of the principles of par liamentary uses, lt ls my duty to do EO. I have observed a disposition on the part of some of the Senators, and particularly of the Senator from thc Sixth, to address their remarks to a member ot this body as 'the gentle man.' There are no gentlemen in this Senate. When one ls elected to (his body and comes upon this floor, he is no longer 'a gentleman,' und, ; the rules, hut 'a Senator.' Please ob serve the proprieties in the future-" He came mighty near using the ta booed word, but after a hesitation of u breath, concluded-'Senators.' " "Yes, slr," said Senator Knight, weakly, and sank into his seat with a look of bewilderment In his eyes. .INSECTS THAT CAUSE Enormous Loss to thc Farmers-Do Not Allow Insects to Multiply. The potato bug Is estimated to have cost the farmers of the United States last year $8,000,000; the array worm cost $15,000,000; the boll wee vil $20,000,000; tho San Jose scale $10,000,000; tho coddling moth and the grasshopper $50,000,000. Now here ls an annual loss of $123,000, 000, besides what other Insect pests have done, and the situation ls grow ing worse. It will cost a lot of money to organize the force and knowledge of science and wage a war of exter mination on these foes of the farmer. But it will cost more not to fight. Some farmers are terribly wrought up at times at the cost of public sor vlce In their behalf and to hear them talk one would conclude they thought lt would be cheaper to die than to live. Nevertheless most people pre fer to live and make the insects die. The editor of the Southern Cultiva tor, commenting on the above, says: Our individual farmer is not pre pared to lake in the enormous loss annually caused to our farming in terests In the I'nlted States from In sect pests. We aro up against lt. and lt becomes us to prepare, both by having the knowledge of the methods best adapted for their destruction; and also to equip ourselves with the necessary spraying apparatus. We ure confident these figures of the gov ernment are not over-drawn. And lt has reached a point that If we would thrive, these Insects must die. It Is a wise policy to declare warfare upon them to extermination if possible. Do not allow any of these injurious in sects to multiply upon your farm. Kill all the potato bugs, harlequin bugs and coddling moths you can be fore they multi|iiy in such quantities as to destroy your crops. Tue fruit rn?4U should watch for the first ap pearance of the San Jose scale. In fact, lt is better to spray to prevent the seale from getting a start. Restocking Luke Toxnway. Lake Toxaway, N. C. August 21). Over 45,000 rainbow trout were de posited in Lake Toxaway Friday af ternoon by the Bureau of Fisheries of the United States government. The fish were brought from Johnson, Tenn., and their average length was about three and one-half Inches.

Several large catche.i have been made recently, and, taking lt al together, the fishing this season has been bettor than ever known before. Of Interest to Many.

Johnstone Will Sit at Fall Terms in Fifth Circuit. Columbia, August 29.-Governor Ansel to-day announced the appoint ment of Hon. George Johnstone, of Newberry, as special Judge to hold all fall terms of court In the Fifth Circuit. In place of Judge James Ald rich, who is disqualified by reasou of illness. The selection of Mr. John stone was made by the Chief Justice, who, under the law, in such cases, recommends to the Governor a "per son learned in the law" to preside as special judge where another circuit judge cannot preside in the place of the judge who is disqualified. The appointment of Mr. Johnstone takes effect on the first Monday of Septem ber and will hold until the first Mon day In December, and he will preside at all terms of Common Pleas and General Sessions Court In this Circuit during that time. Th? flr<?t term is that in Richland county, which opens next Monday, September 2. Col. Johnstone, who ls well known throughout the State as an eloquent and learned lawyer, ls closely related to tho Chief Justice by marriage, but as tho Chief Justice does not actually make the appointment, merely mak ing the recommendation, the case ap parently does not strictly come with in the provisions of the State Stat ute, Section 604, of the Civil Code, which says: "It shall be unlawful for any per son at thc head of any department of this government to appoint to office or position of trust or emolument, under his control or management any person related or connected with him by consanguinity or affinity within the sixth degree." While the Chief Justice does not In such cases make the appointment the selection of the special judge by him is binding on the Governor. CANDIDATE FOR SOLwITOR. Something of the History of M. C. i nn;;, of Anderson. (A rom tho Anderson Intelligencer.) It appears that the political pot, so far as the race for Solicitor of the Tenth Judicial Circuit is concerned, ls beginning to boll rather prematurely. Howevor, If ihe boys prefer a mlle heat instead of a half milo, it is up to their wind and i ot ours. So far, ovly on candidate from our county has declared himself. Our friend and townsman, M. C. Long, as pires to the otice. Naturally, we would wish him success, because he is ours. And when we are informed, when a mere boy, the care of a fam ily, that of a widowed step-mother and a half-brother and sister were thrust, upon him by the death of his father, whom ho has not only sus tained comfortably, but educated, ris ing MfQMlf from a plowboy to that of Court Stenographer and admitted to the practice of law, there ls some thing commendable in him, and we predict there will bo something doing ere this and vote counting time. He was law clerk for three years In the office of Hunt, Huat & Hunter, of Newberry, S. C., one of the lead ing law Arms of upper Carolina, un der whom he read law, before his ap pointment to the office of Court Ste nographer of this circuit, succeeding the Hon. Wyatt Aiken. He has since efficiently discharged the duties of that office. His knowledge gathered from his observation as stenographer, and tho actual working of the Sessions Court will avail him much In the discharge of the office of Solicitor, If elected.

Tokeena, August 23-Special: As this is the season of picnics and gath rings of various kinds will give your many readers a sketch of the most prom ent ones I have attended this summer, namely: Oakws.y and Oak dale, in Anderson County. Oakway was represented from all portions of the county and many from anderson county. We noticed many of the prominent business men of 'the coun ty mixing and mingling with the most important factors of our great coun ty-the farmers. We were glad to see it. and hope that they will stand hand in hand till this great fight that ls now on will be won. As to the numbers here I would say there were near two thousand. We had sp? oches from Harper, Brackett, Stribling and Harris, and they were good on all lines discussed. The dinner Was all that could be expected at a bas'ret dinner. The af ternoon was enjoyed by the young people at the base ball game. Don't know how lt ended, as we don't know the beginning from the ending. At Oakdale. Now for the one in Anderson county. On the morning of the 23d we were on our way early and arrived at Oak dale by 9 a. m. Church and school house are beautifully located among the sturdy oaks, with a splendid well of water In the conter, around which the ladles had a stand to sell ice cream for tho Improvement of thc schoolhouse. The stand for the speakers was decorated with field crops and flowers appropriate to the occasion, for lt was strictly a farm ers* meeting held by the Oakdale Union. The worthy president, James Broyles, acted as manager of the occasion, and lt was an admirable affair. I have never seen a better arranged program and more cordial Invitation extended to all to come and partake of the bounties of the land which were placed on the table, 3 x 100 feet, laden from end to end with the best of the land. v The Program on this occasion was as follows, and was carried out to the letter: Prayer by Rev. J. R. Earle. Speech by T. L. Wakefleld.of An derson. Subject, "The Farmers' i Union." Speech by J. E. Boggs, of Plckeus, after which dinner was served, T. C. Llgon returning thanks. After dinner song by five farmers, Wakefield leading hymn, "Hold the Fort," after which Hon. J. B. Wat son took the stand and gave a moBt eloquent address. All of the addresses were of the finest. After the closing address the table was filled with watermelons of the lin est kind and all of the eating! J nover saw the like. Think of 1,500 persons eating melons at the same time. This ended one of the most enjoy able picnics I have ever attended. Z. Do you know that Plnesalve Car bolized acts like a poultice in drawing out Inflammation and poison? It ls antiseptic.

Barrels were scarce in the re gion, every cooper shop and every J??? cooper wa? working night and day to^H supply the demand for barrels, whlje men were scouring the mountains for hickory poles with which to make hoops. Nearly ail these barrels were then hooped with hickory poles. Commission men buying apples sent to other States and barrels were hurried Into the apple region In vast numbers. I saw an entire train of foriy cars arrive upon one occasion whl'h was entirely laden with hick ory-hooped ?lack barrels-320 to each car, and ten hoops on every bar rel. Here at one time were seen 12, 800 barrels,for which there had been sacrificed 64,000 living hickory trees. In a few years' time these trees would have been capable of supply ing 25,000,000 carriage spokes, the price of which now, *3.. a thousand, would realize $75.000. The farmers who permitted this sacrilege of cutting out the young hickory which had made rapid strides toward salable lumber trees received for this train load of their trees less than $400.
