That Atlanta man who started tho men's shirtwaist brigade ls due tho thanks of tho law-abiding public. The fashion should bo adopted uni versally. It's a sure cure for the hip pocket flask and the hip-pocket pis tol. _ At tho opening of the base ball season we were polltoly informed that we were a jackass. This wo stoutly denied, but slnco we have been at tending a few games we have becomo a little hoarse, and we are not quito sure where the "ovolutiou" will stop. The marriago license law will go Into effect on tho Arst day of July. We know that there will he no trou ble from tho ministers of tho State, who will of course adhere strictly both as to the spirit and the letter of the law. But we appeal to tho magistrates and notaries public not to go into the marriage blind tiger business. Such a courso would even tually load to prohibition-or worse still, to a State Marriage Dispensary. We congratulate the Newberry Ob server on the handsome showing made for Newberry in the Industrial Issue printed yesterday. The Ob server is ever wide awake to the In terests of its home town and county, and not only thal, but it ls one of the most ably edited papers in the State.

Picketts is a mighty good county, and we believe the farmers over there have us boa! a little now In the wheat line, bul when it comes to staying ahead of us our motto ls, "Thou shalt not." There is no little speculation at present among the newspapers of the Stat. o whether .las. A. Ilovt, of f' .imbin Record, will be a can ..e for Congressman Lever's seat iii the National House at the next election. Mr. Lever has made a splendid worker for his own section and the State at large, hut we doubt not that Mr. Hoyt would do equally ns well if not better as a Congress man. Nevertheless it would bo a great mistake to spoil a good news paper man to make a good Congress man, lt we could by some means gol Jim Hoyt worked In as editor-in chief of the Congressional Record, changing that, "magazine" into a great national daily, it would be worth while shipping bim to the Na tional Capital. Thal ls the only con dition under which we will consent to Iel Mr. Hoyt leave South Caro lina. Tntil some such change is made we will just continue to use the Congressional Uccord for "single wrappers." to which use it is ndinir Bbl) adapted. li KILLED IN AEROPLANE RACE.

The; took Uielr stand beneath two trees whoso branches wore Joined by an electric sign flash ing "1886-1911." Tho reception was just as Informal as tho President could make lt. Those who could waited in lines for hours to shako hands, hut many slipped out of the Une and sought the shaded walks. The presents that numbered in the hundreds, and whose money value ran high into the thousands, attracted many, while others turned to the East room, where there was dancing. Preparations had been made for 5.000 guests and the sumptuous re freshments covered the tables in tho state dining room. The President and thc members of his family, with the Cabinet and the aides. were served on the east terrace, but tho guests found their refreshments in tho state dining room.

Tree Rorer. In order to combat this Insect with tho least labor and expenso lt is nec essary to understand two points In Its Ufo history, and tboso points are fully explained In this article. Tho full grown Insect, a beautiful, clear-winged moth, lays Its eggs In tho fall on tho trunks of the peach trees at tho surface of tho soil. Tho worms hatching from tboso eggB bore Into tho bark, and these worms ; the borers. When full grown Ul come out of the tree Into the soi! chango to a rostlng stag? or pup Tboso pupae occur very clo:ie to t troo, about ono inch below . to faco of tho Boll. A fow st ru gb may occur two or throe Inches in the troe. Tboso pupao latei chai to tho beautiful cloar-wlngod montlonod above, which lay o for the noxt generation. Th.-rt ony one generation each year. The Important points for us know are the time those inset out of the trees into tho ground,-.-, the time at which all the egt.a ba '??en laid. Knowing these two po. gontfm then combat tho post {ixU The w^ai8 begin to come pul : tho grouna on juiy i.

On Septombor 20 all'Pyvo appeared to lay their eggs except V few stragglers. By October 15 all tho eggs have hatched and gone into the outer bark. Pull up the earth around the bise of the tree eight luchos high tm or before July 10. This burles ruo pu pae and very few moths emerging therefrom will be able to ?each the surface. If there aro infested tees In tho neighborhood that were iot mound ed, moths will come In from such orchards and lay eggs. Those eggs are laid on tho bark a' tho ? tar face of tho soil. The mourJs aro taken down October 15, ano if any eggs were laid they will b eight Inches high on the trunk wr're the worms can be easily located,and not in the crown below the si? I. Therefore, mound the peach tros eight inches high between July ' and 10. Take down the mounds Ictober 25. If your neighbors do not do lt, then you will havo mo^s come in from the outside and ay eggs. Walk through the orcHrd November 15, at which time th? worms are in the outer bark about eight indies high, and can be eas'y located by their castings.
