This bolus; so. ho has viewed with appre hension the continued advances of the boll weevil pest as il has gradu ally worked ils way across the Mis sissippi and on into Georgia. The ofield of the storms in accelerating its advance last year anti Ibo year be fore h is hoon noted, and it is now generally believed thal unless smoo thing is done it will be in Sol ii h Ca ra lina within the next three years. That it will arlin- in due season i> said to he certain by the exports unless ..ometbinn is done. What Senator Mel ill ll ri ll Suggests. 'lhere is something thal Senator Mclaurin has suggested to the au thorities in South Carolina, and he will also present it to the authorities in North Carolina when he-believes t be time is ripe. Senator McLaurin believes that his his idea is feasible and that it will be effective is properly initiated and then consistently handled. Says ho: "There is something that ls just as sure as death and taxes, ami (hal Is the arrival of tho boll weevil in the cotton belt unless something is doti?! to check or permanently stop it. Tho idea that 1 have in view and one that has boen incorporated in my re port is to establish a prevention zone at the natural 'barrier of tho Savan nah river, which in itsoll is unite a consideration. I?'rom Augusta to tho sea the river offers a broad swamp . nea. North of Augusta then? is a space that will have lo lie reinforced until the llp-COUIltry is reallied, where there ls Kittie or no cotton planted. The plan is to declare i holt adjacent Hui river, 20 miles A ide, in which no col ion shall he grown, an,I this 'cottonless zone,' added lo thc natur il barrier of the river, will provide a 10-mile /.one which would he su.h a hindrance to the boll weevil invasion thal it will check it for year...

Ho is state Warehouse Commis sioner in Smith Carolina and there fore has an admirable opportunity for knowing just what is happening in (-OttOII cll'olos In the State. Ile was asked last night about the cotton stored in South Carolina. "Thero is only a ver.v little," said he. "Cotton at :U> cents offers slight inducement to the farmer to hold for higher prices. Tho amount of cotton stored in South Carolina to-day is only fl small part of what was ibero las! year." Senator McLaurln was asked if he believed that cotton would go any higher. "I do." waa hi? emphatic rejoin der. "I took occasion rocontly to comparo tho general schedule of prices to-day with those that existed just before the war. And- would you believe mo?-cotton to-day at 2 0 couts was about the lowest in the lot. As compared with other lines, it is ?.heap. I believe that 25-cent cotton will bo realized. Keven ?UK to tlie cotton loss bolt along the Savannah river as a means of checking the invasion of the boll weevil, Senator Mcl.au rin declared that it could he done easily, thc far mers in this territory being shown just what other crops could be rais ed proP.ably lo the exclusion of cot ton, drop diversification would bo the means.

McSwaln, of Greenville, is the owner of considerable properly, and is in charge of other property, and a number of tenants are under his watchcare. In the fall of the year he sends each of them a letter. The following is a copy of a recent letter Mr. MeSwain has mailed out lo his tenants: "Open up all the ditches and as soon as possible, and certainly before Christmas, put pino brush into all washes and Hallies and also set out some honeysuckle vines in the washes. "In the next place, serape up all , t lu> rich earth and rotten chips around tho yard and in the fence cor- j tiers and all the piles of ashes and piles I rom the out-places and haul it ont on tho Holds, I have often thought thal the most fertile lauds on our farms arc allowed to no to waste at. places in and around the lenci' corners and wood piles, produc ing nothing during the year except weeds. "Next place, no down to the creek and pick out a patch of bottom land thai is now in briars and bushes and (lean it up and plant thal ill corn. You can make more corn on one acre of rich land in the bottoms than you can make on two or three acres' of upland. "In tho next place, as you have a lol of range, you should have one or j two sows for breeding purposes only ; and raise pigs, not only for your own j use, hui for sale. You should also I have two or three cows and hogs. I They will make manure for you. You : will have plenty of hay from the Her- | muda bottoms and from the peavlne | hay to winter several cows. "Remember, that the best lime to make a crop is when you prepare for il the year before, and for that rea son wo want you to take lt in lia nd to build it up constantly so that it will make better crois for you. We don't want any more land cleared up, but we do want tho leaves and woods earth and tho mold to he hauled out on the open land and some to he pul in the stables and lot and later haul ed out on thc land. This will build the land up. "You each have a splendid oppor tunity now to live well and to save some money each year so that you may eventually be able to buy and pay for a little piece of land. I think it t ho duty of every man who is the head of a family lo try to own a piece of land. lt makes better citi cons, both white and colored. and here will he certain sections of the .on ll try that will he offered for sale 0 colored people, as it is better for hem to live in separate communities, nhl they doubtless prefer this."
