IM !.j J I ' I * RAHJDOAD MEN ABB ACCUSED Of S (eal inn Freight from Hoads-A Portion of Goods Hoco ver ed. (Charleston News and Courier.) Through the vigilance of the po lice department and United States authorities several other arrests in addition tb those made last week, were made yesterday in the rallorad robbovy eases. At the recent term of the United States Court, Wilkin son, ikwboson, Kelley, Humph and others were sent to prison in con nection with systematic stealing from the Seaboard Air Lino. The property stolen was interstate freight, which made the offense one against the Federal government. Yesterday three employees of the Atlantic Coast Line were arrested on the same charge. They were R. C. LeQneux, who has been lodged in jail in default of bond; M. C. Rou millat and R. S. Jones. From the evidence in the hands of the United States District Attornoy, these men were operating, it ls alleged, with the others from the Seaboard Air Line, and used the same "fonces." lt appears that the gang was well organized and did a big business. The goods stolen were sold in Charleston, and several of the al leged "fences" are now doing time for their offense. The conspiracy was well organized and the men did a thriving business for a time. It is hard to estimate the quantity of goods stolen, but a large lot of goods has been located and recovered and will be used as evidence In the cases, which will come up at the next crim inal term of the United States Court.

Clemson College, Aug. 2.-There have been a few small outbreaks of red spider in several parts of the State, but as long as the moist weather lasts there is no immediate danger of the red spided developing seriously, says Prof. A. F. Conrad!, entomologist. As soon as dry weath er sets in, however, cotton fields should be closely watched, because the insect may develop rapidly in spots. While the red spider will not be as serious as last year, the in Jury will be more pronounced in j some places, owing to the reaction in cotton should, the rainy weather ; suddenly stop and dry, hot weather ' follow. j Just as soon as it is found that j the blood red coloration on the leaves ! and the infested plants increases, ?immediate action should be taken to treat the infested spots. The ?surest method ?8 to spray such spots I Instead of carrying the plants to j burn them. Where a plant ls pulled i up it should be put into a cotton i picker's sack that has previ ously been soaked in kerosene. In fested plants should not be carried across the plantation exposed, be cause in this manner the pest is scattered and the injury Is actually increased instead of reduced. The majority of red spider at tacks this year aro traced to violets I around dwelling houses on and near ? plantations, and attention is again directed to the violet as a nuisance in cotlo production. There are other border plants which can be substituted for the violet and which are not red spider carriers. Atten tion is again directed to the poke stalk as a colonizing plant for red spider and this wood should not bo allowed on or near the plantation. Circular of Information on red spider, what lt is, what lt does, how to treat and how to make up the spray will be furnished on applica tion.
