The otber is the third issue of the Clemson college extension work se ris, begun a month or so ago, and -is z paper on "The Development of 'Pubhe Grounds in Cities and Vil lages." the substance of an address befoe the Farmers' Institute at %c-mson college in August. 1904, by the Hon. G. A. Parker. vice president of the American Civic League. Prof. Charles E. Chambliss has just -returned from a meeting of the state cen'torologists of the south, . !ld in Atlanta, for the purpose of consider .Ing the boll weevil laws, and taking some steps to improve them. It was .a very important meeting, and was -attended by all the state entomolog ists and by representatives from the 'United States department of agri -culture. Prof. Chambliss was elected prest -dent of the organization, and Dr. A. 'W. Morrill, of the bureau of entomol -ogy :at Washington, was made secre .tary. The main consideration of the -2reeting was the modification of the boll weevil laws., and the following resolutions were adopted to be urged -upon the several states as quarantine Tregulations: Whereas. additional knowledge -oncerning the Mexican cotton boll weevil, acquired since the last meet ing, August 2. 1904. indicates the ad -visability of modification of previous -reccmenda-ions towards a uniform -system of quarantine regulations; 'therefore, be it Retsolved, That the previous regu 'Jations be modified, and we recoin mnend that the present laws and regu lations in the various States be chang :d to conform to the following plan, -which, in our opinion, would furn :jsh the required protection without the unnecessary inconveniences to :the shipping interests concerned: That cotton lint, (lose, baled, flat <or compressed,) cotton seed, seed cot 1ton, bulls, seed cotton and cotton seed sacks, which have been used in Texas and Louisiana and other states hereafter infested, should be exclud /' d absolutely from the uninfested ter That all shipments of household goods irom infested territory should be prohibited, unless accompanied by :an affidavit attached to way bill to dh,e efect that shipment contains no metton lint, etc.. as above: * That shi;.ments of quarantined ar -icles be made in tight closed cars: That no common carrier should use ftor bedding or feed for. live animals. :any quarantined article: That all laws designed to eradicate xisolated colonies of the boll weevil .-or to control the pest. should include the following provisions: 1. Prohibition against bringing in to the State live cotton boll weevils. .a The delegation of authority to -enjcate and control isolated col *Zr>mes- 3. That deninite authority be given to boll weevil quarantine offi cers to establish from time to time the 1aecessary regulations, and to enforce the same: Resolved finally. That for the pro. tection of the cotton growing indus tr'y, we recommend the enactment of 'th.e above in all cotton states where there is now no restriction. MR. DUKE DEAD. Ema Who Made Possible Founding arnd -Great Growth of American Tobacco Co. 'Mr. Washington Duke, the pioneer :?obacco manufacturer of America, -who made possible the founding and s.,e-s growth of the American To Horses,N The best the State. F ceived. Pric( Quati C bacco company, died at his home in Durham, N. C.. on Monda- afternoon at 2 o'clock at the advanced age of 84 years. Several months ago Mr. Duke fell and broke his hip and he has been confined to his room ever since. Several days ago plura-pneu monia se: in, and from that time the patient steadily declined. All of his sons. Messrs. B. L., J. B. and B. N. Duke, were with him at the time of his death. The funeral took place at i r o'clock Wednesday. Mr. Washington Duke was born December 20. 1820. being one of the to children of Mr. Taylor Duke, a small farmer of Orange county. He early cultivated the habit of industry, and after attaining his majority, by rentingland, he soon made enough to purchase a smal plantation of his own. By the outbreak of the Civil war he had increased his holdings to more than 300 acres. At the close of the great war, during the latteryears of which he served in the artillery of the Confederate States at Charleston and Richmond, he returned to his planta I tion, his sole capital besides the land then being 50 cents and two blind army mules. Knowing Old Man. Lond, n- Tit-Bits. A north country miner. 73 years old, visited a lawyer to make his will. The old man's property consisted of two small cottages which had cost him 150 pounds. The lawyer asked him how he wished to dispose ot it. "Ma auld woman is to hey it all so long as she's ma widow; after that, bairns to hey all." said the client. "What age is your wife?" asked the lawyer. "Seventy-two," was the reply. "And how long have you :been mar red?" was the next question. " r fifty years," was the reply. The lawyer suggested that in the circumstances he should let his wife have the little property during her li-fe, whether she remained a widow or not. "Aa minnot! Aa minnot!" exclaim ed the old man. "Aa'll hey me aan wa!" "Bu surely." expostulated the so-. licitor. "you don't expect an old wo man now over 72 would ever dream of marrying again?"I The miner looked the lawyer full in the face and answered solemnly: "Well, sonny, there's na knowing what young chaps like yoursel' will dae for money!" IReflections of a Bachelor. New' York Press. A f-l never knows whether she likes le nirst strawberries of the season with thick cream best or a se cret flirtation. It is awful nice the way women can run in ribbons where nobody is ex pected to see them in such a way that you can't help seeing them. A girl calls it romantic if a man is so much interested in her that when ie sits down in the custard pie he doesn't swear. There is absolutely no satisfaction in doing something smart if there is nobody for you to brag to about it. The average man's idea of a joke, is something over which he splits his side when he is planning it and no body cracks a smile when he does it.
