LOCUSTS APPEAR IN GREAT NUMBEF Already Attacking Foliage at Roc] ' Hill. The State. Rork Hill. May 18.?This is th year of the 17 year locusts; at iea> there is a seemingly innumerabl number of the descendants of th tribe that plagued Pharaoh in th vicinity of Rock Hill. Already the are attacking* the foliage on th blackjack oaks and the number seen] to be increasing. It is yet too earl to forecast the extent of the injur? ^ if any, to crops. The locusts are appearing- rathe early, it is understood, as they ai usually at their thickest in Jun< July and August, but it may be th;: the number will materially increas when really hot weatner uegm: There are probably a number c droves of the pest hereabouts, th locusts appearing to go in droves c swarms. However, the woods ar full of them to the southeast of th city and they can be heard for a dis tanee of nearly a mile, the stead droning sounding like the roar of waterfall at a distance. As one ap proaches the spot where they almost thickly congregated, the soun increases in intensity and is muc; louder than the droning of bees When in the midst of the locusts th trees are seen to be covered wit] them and the air is literally <4work ing." Scrub oaks appear to hav fared worse thus far in many case the leaves having been eaten entirel; away. In other cases the leaves ar t full of holes as if peppered with bij shot. The locusts also appear to hav a fondness for hickory leaves, thes trees yesterday being covered. The fact that this is locust yea will no doubt cause a deal of appre hension until it is ascertained whethe they will swoop down upon the fieli crops and play havoc with the foo< production of the community. Th locusts have the "W" on the wing this identifying them as the 17 yea locusts of Pharaoh fame. It ha been a long time since they appearei in this section and a new generatioi has sprung up since the last appear ance of the locusts. In view of thi fact, it is expected that there will b numerous pilgrimages to the woods fr see the locusts and to hear thei , T-n u >> A 1 chanting of "maraon, ruaiaun. m Sunday school students are familia with the plague of the ^locusts ii Egypt when the Israelites were hel< in bondage by the Pharaohs, and tra dition has it that the locusts, durinj each visitation upon earth, call ou the name, Pharaoh. It' is said the insects are harmless s6 far as human beings are concerns printing- during: the laying period The insect splits a limb, or whateve it is resting, on, it is said, and th? eggs are deposited inside the split Instances have occurred when finger of children playing with the locust were split evenly as if with a knife Limbs of trees split, invariably die it is said others state the eggs are de posited in the buds of hickory tree and the traverse the pith o: ' the branch and go into the ground, i taking a period of about 17 years t< make the trip.
