THE BOLL WEVIL. Irof. Chambliss Gives Results of His It searches in Texas. Prof. Chambliss, of Clemson Col ge, has recently spent several weeks a the state of Texas where he made , c.ireful study of the boll weevil, the iest ways of preveating its spread, I ,nd how to detect its presence on the otton plant. Prof. Chamblirs says hat the government now has 1,800 .cres of land in i!tecn diff-rent sec ions around Victoria under cotton ultivation, for experimental purpcs 9 s. The laboratory of the government I s also lccated at Victoria. The results t f Prof. Chambliss' !nvestigation were t old a Snartanburg Journal represen ative Wednesday as follows: "There is little ro-sibility of exter ainating.the Texas boll weevil. The a osect can be held in check, however. S ,d c-)nfined to certain sections and I his is what the experimenters are t rying to do at present. There are I owever, other insects in our knowl- C dge which are even harder than the t all weevil to destroy or to contne in c imits. Therefore, the woik that we .re undertaking is largely educ-i.tion 1. We want to teach the farmers LOW to know a boll weevil and the upa and larva and also to show them be necessity of refusing to receive exas cotton seed and grain and also o give them all that we know about he weevil, so that thay will not call or specimens for themselves, thereby neurring risk of infecting their own rowing c~tton. 'There have been three facts which nake it evident that something had o be done to protect South Carolina," orontinucd Prof. Chambliss. "One was ;he fact mentioned above, the others ~re the discovery made by us that omnebody had bought a lot of infectedl mall bolls in Texas, threshed them >ut and had sent the produce to this ~tate, and lastly we recognized the eneral danger of the insects being rought in, in various other ways. "A law has been passed to aid us n educating the farmers about the >xll weevil and this we are trying to< lo. Shortly there will be issued by 3e~son College, a bulletin on the boll< veevil to be distributed generally( hroughout the entire state. "The adult weevil -prefers the quare to the boil in the depositingof ier eggs which are placed in the quare or boll through a hole drilled >y the female by means of a long nout with jaws at the end of it. The I gg in about eight days develops intoI he larva which at once begins feeding n the substande of the plant in which1 t is encased. The presence of an egg side the square or boll may be cer ainly detected," says Prof. Cham-. liss, "by the preserce of a small dark art on the outside, where the female as bored into the plant As to the dangers of bringing the reevil into this state Prof. Chambliss ~ ays that in winter the boll weevil in tabits houses, bins, barns or anywhere rhere shelter may be found and hence he great danger of importing Texas rain which may contain the weevils large numbers. "Another important fact," says he, is that the pu pa in its cell resembles ery closely the cotton seed itself and he two cannot be distinguished ex- t ept by trained eyes. "The pupa, which is the intermedi te stage between larva and adult, is Jund imbedded in the b->ls and when be cotton is ginned these pupae fallC brough with the seed without being urt in the least and if the seed are 2ipped away the pupae go too and j on we have another infected dis- ~ rict." On the mount which Prof. Chain a liss has prepared is a striking picture e aowing the similarity between cot- a yn seed and the pupae cells. The two b re the same size and outward apcar- 8 nce and it would be impossible to d ean infected seed after the cells are a rce mixed, unless they were picked I 2t one at a time, which would be al- y' gether out of the question. J T HE itepublican state convention of v [ontana, which nominated William J indsay for Governor, felt constrained 0 )take a hand in Colorado politics 'I so, which it did by adopting a .1 ~soution denouncing the Republican 0 overnor of the latter state for his J ghhanded and unlawful action in ti 3porting citiz~ns for alleged crimes, 1i ithout "due process of law." e THIERE Is nothing the thoughtful t] ter should investigate Eo closely as a 1e government expenditures and a ~ceipts. The Roosevelt administra- t< on and the Republican Congress h ~em perfectly reckless about how the a; txpayers' money is expended. While ader the last year of the last Demo a: i: administration the Army and avy cost $82.000,000, the present W (pendiures for those purposes are it stinlg $217,000,000. TilE facts that Chairman Cortelyou t( s been promised the omce of Post- E aster GeneraL and that while he 1H as Secretary of the Department of in :nmerce and Labor, he became w .miiar with many important cor ration secrets, and that as head of eC te Pustotfce Department, he will b tve to deal with large mail-carryirag~ et ilway systems, explain the power he f ts as chairman to pull the legs of T te croration bosses. CL MEonEI:s of the Republican Na- g nal Committee are figuring upon bc etory without New York. It is posi e, but it has nEver been that a nadt or President won without b UPPER NEW YORK, tys the Herald, Will Give Roosevelt a Fig Majority. EMORATS DISPUTE FIGURES nd Say that They Are Certain to Carry the State for the State and thejNational,Demo cratic Ticket The New York Herald's estimate hat Roosevelt will have a bih m'tjor ry in the upper part of New York tate and will come down to the ridge with 150,000 and that he will mad the Republican state ticiet by at east 50,000 is rather discouraging to he Democrats, although the latter liPpute the Herald's estimates. They ay that with their unity up in the tate and their thorough organizition t is quite an impossibility for Roote elt to come to Greater New York vith more than 100,000, and at least ,000 less votes for Higgins, the R iublican candidate for governor. The Democrats are confident that heir candidate for govern- r, Judge lerrick, will be elected by 50.OOC plu ality, and that this plurality is dead ure to give the state also to Judge 'arker. This view of the case looks ogical and reasonab'e, and in ecnser rative circles it is believed beyond Luestion that the Empire State is ab olutely sure to go for both Herrick Ld Parker. The sporting men are ffering ten to seven on Herrick, with )ut few takers, and even money on ?arki r. The Republicans are asking en to six on Herrick and ten to nine .nd e-ght on Parker. BETTING COUNTS FOR LITTLE. The betting, boviever, is not much if an indication as to how the state will o. In 1884 the betting here a month efore the electicn was two to one hat Blaine would carry the state and tree to one that Blaine would be lected, and yet B!aire lost the coun ry. [n 1888 the betting was two to ne that Clevelaud would carry the tate and the election and yet Harri on carried the state and the election. :n 1892 the betting up to two weeks ieore the election was in favor of larrison and yet Cleveland swe pt the ountry, so when you size At all up here is little significance in betting in election r(sults. SILENT VOTE DECIDES. The reason for this is the silent or ndependent vot which in these days lecider tihe result of all electfons. As ,,n example, I will take the state of ndiana. The Democratic 60 days' >oll of the state disclos-d a doubtful ote of 100,000 and a Republican ma ority of 15,00. The R :publican poll bowed a doubtful vote of 75,000 and Republican maj rity of 30,000. To plit the difference this means that here are about 87.500 voters in In iana who have not made up their minds as to how they will vote. In ide info mation from toth political >ommittees is to the effect that fully >ne-half of these daubtful voters are 'iloaters." It is generally understood :hat "fl~aters" are men who cin be Ifluenced in one way or the other by promises of work and help or by noney, and mcst likely money. .HOW INDIANA WILL GO. Therefore, the political party that ~an put up the most money and the ast money will be able to vote this ~'ass of voters. Therefore, Indiana uan safely be relied up->n to go f~r the >arty that can control suflicient 1mount cA fmoney to buy those voters nd kt ep them bought. This is, of ~ourse, a pretty tough statement to nake, but it is nev.rtheless true, for here is always in a nat:onal election rom 30,000 tc 50,000 votes in Indiana or sale to the highest bidder, and the >arty that has the money to buy those rotzs will win the election. REPUBICANS GIVE UP INDIANA. Democratic c-.mpaign managers see n the ref usal of the national Republi an .comnittee to send any of its >romin-nt speakers to indiana an abandonment of the stazte by Republi ans rather than a belief that the tate is safely Republican witnout urther campaigning. That the zcuse given by the Repoican nanagers is both bald and lame is hown. by the fact that Indiana eaders are wroth at the determina ion of the nat'onal c. m ittee to give levv York and other states all the ood things in the oratorical line, 'hile Indiana gets lesser lights, if ha state were sifely Republican, ask )emocrats with a smile, why should he action of the national committee ause such construction in Republi an ranks. * Shot Two Men. At springfield, Mass., Dr. Edward .Belt Saturday evening shot Judson trong, a wealthy real estate man, nd Dr. Benjamin Jackson, a medical lectrician and then took carbolic id. Dr. Belt died in the Mercy ospital half an hour later. Judson trong's wound is serious and te may ie. Belt was a graduate of Harvard nd his home was in South Boston. e had been in Springfield three ears. Dr. Belt occupied an oflice in udson Strong's block. He entered [r. Strong's offce where the latter 'as engaged in conversation with Dr. acks an and immediately opened fire n them with a 32 calibre revolver. 'wo bullets entered Mr. Strong's left Lw, one lodging in the throat. An ther inflicted a slight wound on Dr. ackson's scalp. Dr. Belt then went >his offce and took a dose of carbo c acid. The three men were remov : to Mercy hospital, where Belt died short time afterwards. Previous to te shooting of tbe two men it is leged that Dr. Belt had made an ttempt to kill Miss Amelia Dumas, )whom he was engaged. She met im in his otlice by appointment and ter a struggle with him escaped. Adrift on the Ocean.

An Augusta Newspaper Correspon dent Talks of Political Conditions. Mr. Monroe Hambright, traveling crrespondent of the Kansas City World and the New Orleans Item, is in Augusta for a few days visit and bricgs with him glad tidingsand good cheer for the stalwart Demccrats of Georgia. Speaking to the Herald, of the political conditions in the North, Mr. Hambright says: "A few weeks ago I traveled over Wisconsia and believe owing to the factional troubles of the Republican party in that state that Democratic nominee for Governor, Peck, will be elected in November. La Follette, the present governor of the state, whc has the party so aroused, is a good man and I believe no better man lives in the Badger state. The fight is a tbree-cornered one and the feel. ing and animosity in the Erpublicar ranks is too great to be healed therE for y( ars. The chances are that tht Republicans wiMl get together anc give Roosevelt the electoral vote oj the .st te, but it would not be surpris ing if the Democrats carry every th nr. "In Indiana I spent several days re cantly and it is surprising to see thi strong sentiment against Roosevelt The feeling against the Republicar candidate is very marked. I stoppe at Lafayette, the Republican Gibral ter of the Hoosier state, and found i strong Democratic sentiment there The people of Indiana are crying t hear Bryan and Tillman, and I thinil that the Democratic committee acte< ve-y wisely in sending those tw< speakers to that state. I believe In diana will cast its vote for Parker, a1 least all iridications. while I was it that state, pointed that way." Mr. Hambright is accompanied bi his wife and they will spend severa days in Augusta. His trip is one witi which pleasure is m'xed with busi ness. Mr. Hambright recalled thi days of Kansas City when property i that city could be bought for a sonj and now no amount of money can tul it. He says Kansas City is the citj of the West and none are leaping for w- rd with the bounds that his city is Mr. Hambright is very much please( with Augusta.-Augusta Herald. Help the Cause. It takes large sums of money t< run a national campaign. It is an eas: matter for the Republican party tA raise all the money it needs. Thi party is the party of the trusts aw rich cortorat.ons, and these robber of the -ople stand ready to contri bute millions of dollars to enable th Republican party to continue i power for the privilege of robbing thi people. But the Democrats are no able to command money from suci sources. They mu;t look to the peopl who are in favor of Democratic suc cess to fill the campaign chest witi voluntary contributions. There are o course, some rich Democrats and somi corporations that contribute to thi Democratic fund, but all the mone: thus obtained would not equal thi fat fried out of a singe trust by Roose velt's man, Cortelyou. The Democratic National Commit tee needs money and is not ashame< or afraid to say so. George Foste Peabody, the treasurer of the commit tee, would be glad to receive contri butions, large or small. He woul< welcome sums as small as half a dpI lar. Mr. Peabody encourages the mak ing of small contributions. He wouli rather receive $100 from one hundrei persons in sums of one dollar esc] tban the like sum from a single indi vidual. Mr. Peabody hopes to be fav ored with many small contribution from the south. Himself a native o Georgia, he says it would please lhin immensely to have the Democrats o his old home state evince their inter est in the cause in this practical way He would be glad to have the Dcm ocrats in other southern states join And why not? No portion of th country would receive greater benefi from the election of Parker and Davi; than the south; no portion has s much to fear from the election o Roosevelt as the south. It would b4 a handsome thing for Orangebumi County to raise at last one hundred dollars to help the good cause along The Times and Democrat expects t< make a small contribution to the Democratic campaign fund and wouli gladly receive contributions from oters for the same purpose. All con tributions will be acknowledged it these columns. Let every man do hi: duty. Lost in Terrific Gale. A dispatch from Chatham, Mass. says a small part ot the forward see tion of the hull and a slanting fore mast stood as mute reminders of thE tragedy enacted .there Friday nigh1 when the three-masted schoonel Wentworth of Moncton, N. B., struecl on Chatham bar during a raging north erly gale and all on board perished in the terrific seas. With the exception of the loss of the steamer Portland In November, 1898, the wreck of the Wentworth is the worth disaster that has occurred on the Cape Cod coast during the last decade. .Of the 12 persons who were on board the strand. ed vessel, not one reached the shore alive, although two bodies were res cued from the surf F~riday morning, one of them that of a woman, be. lieved to be the wife of the captain. With her three children s'he was ac companying her husband on a trip from Hillsboro, N. B., to Newark, N. J. A Blind Murderer. A triple tragedy ceccured about three and a half miles east of Plano Texas, Thursday afterncon when Will Dochran, a blind man who has been "parated from his wife for about six weeks, led by his nephew, fifteen years old, called at his mother-in aws house, entered the front door, alled for his wife. When she sat down by him he grabbed her, stabbing her to death with a dirk and then killed &s mother-in-law, Mrs .Tames Skel on, seventy-three years old. He tnen walked around the house about ~wety-ive yards, stuck his dirk in ,he ground, and pulling out a pisto1, hot his brains out and died instantly. Must Toe the Mark. Charles F.

STIRS THEM UP. o1 Senator Tillman Talks Plainly to the ti Eocialists of Chicago. it HE MAKES THINGS VERY HOT. u He Roasts the Socialists, IDenounces Roosevelt and the Republican 1E Party. Sneers at Debs and h a Pleads for Parker. C Senator Tillman is stumping OuL West for the Democratic presidential ri ticket and at times he encountars o some rough crov ds, but they den's v make much off the Senator. At Chica- 1 go one night last week he aidress a d meeting at the stockyards, and this is a description of the meeting as t published by the Chicago Tribune: t, Senator Tillman, of South Carolina, F fought a verbal general engage Dent a with an army of four hundred S cial- 6 ists at 48th and H.no~e street last Y night. TLey bombarded him with a questions; he mowed 'em down with n "hell fire" and devilment." At least e that's what he called hi- ammuniLion. fi It was one man against rour hun- P dred, but the one man had, in the 'A language of the sporting editor, a s shade the best of the argument. Till- s man himself gloated over the out c come, and, to use his own happy ex- a pession, he "rammed his words down i: their throats and choked 'em into I silence. When the Southern Senator tired f his last oratorical shut he demanded: t "Now, my friends who are 3ou going to vote for?" L "For Debs," was th3 answering c shout of over half his auditors. So far as being a Democratic meet ing it was a failure, but there was plenty of excitement, caused by the Sjciaiists. The tu:bulence began early in the evening, and the two previous speakers were constantly in terrupted by questions shoutzd from t the back cf the hall. It (mbarra-sed I them, but not Tillman. "I've noticed some boistcrousn sq here tonight," be said, "but it ain't nothing, c.ampared to our meetings n C South CaroliLa,-this is but a gentle summer zephy r." He invited their interruptions. He defied them to down bim, and their questions only served to elicit h:s bit ing epigrams. "I've got so much devilment in me tonight, I want tc throw out some heellire in your direction," he said, and that started things: "Why should the laboring man vote or Parker?" stouted Mrs. LilliaD I rberg, one of the most insistent of t t he Socialists present. "Why," thundered Sator Till man, "because if you were in hell s wouldn't you like to get into purga tory a while." Again, when the S' c'alis's w:.re r haratsing him on all sides, he yelled, "Any Socialist who votes for Debs in preference to Parker is spitting in his own face and is a donkey." He was proclaiming the principles Bryan-it was much more a B ryan than a Parker meeting throughout when some cne asked him wny BryanC badn't been elected. C "Because you people didn't vote the t way you whoop. When a man talks C one way and votes another, Gad havet mercy on his soul, because the devil ~ has a bill of sale on him.". Picking up the pink card, upon which the Socialists had prinited a list I of questions for him to answer, Sena tor Tillman exc'aimed: - "Socialism, social equality on the one side, yes, and amalgamation of races, and hell and damnation on the other." His choicest invectives, however, were saved for Prusident Ikosevelt, whose policy towards the blacks in the South he bitterly assailed. "If a nigger is good enough for the President to eat with, he ought to be good enough for him to sleep with,"t he said. 'Nigger," explained the Senator, "means a black man, and is the phraise1 used colloquially when spoken. Negru is the 'term you use when 3 ou write ~ and want to be polite." "Are you going to trust this coun try again to a man who wants to be the whole shcotin' matcai?" was another of his phrases to describe the President.1 A man, evidently a leader of the So ialists presant, havin g rr questt d that enator Tillman be allowed to have his say before he was interrupted with questions, the Senstor was left cam- t paratively unmolested during the a opening of his speecb. He was well t aware that there were many Stucialists f present and he commenced with the t remark. t "There is an old adage which says a that a fellow feeling makes us wond- p rus kind. Now, I have been dubbed y a crank, an Anax'hist, a wild man t from Barneo, and I am sure that no g one here will te any wilder than I e am. I come from a part of the coun- 6 try where we have a p roblem which dwarfs all other problems, and it is that which keeps the white men in the South in a solid line in the Demo cratic party. You can't teli an3 tbing about it unless you live there. a "The Republican leaders of to-day ui are subservient sycophants, bowing o and scrapitng at the White House, and a beilding themselves up to one mant who directed and controlled them in the National Converntion. Every last one of them falls down a whipped cur before this man in the WVhite Ihcuse. I have heard Republican leaders, talk ing among themselves, say that they had no personal liking for Rcoseve t, no not one of them, but they bjw to him because he bas the whip hand andh can distribute the patronage. "I know you fellows want to votet for Dhbs. IHe is my friend. We havc had many a little confabulation to- .I gether, and I think that he is a lit t~ep rattle pated, and may be I am, but Ia believe I still have some sense. I want ed to elect Bryan, but you fellows b) ouldn't vote as you whooped. I bave i i been in Chicago before, right cut in this district, too, and 1 heard yuu fe!- i o tows whoop for Bryan, and I said to : m myself, there is nothing to this, l i have carried the town. But when eiec- t tion day came I f.sund that you didin't D vote the way you were yelling." ,m "Do you stand for the equility o the races?" he thundered. c "We stand for their equality as far: s wages go," came the answer. L "You can't stand upon one platform and not on the other," thundered Till man. "The record of the ages shows that wherever the white and black o races have conflicted the whites have been the masters. You ein-t teli his- a tory that it lics." t "Has Parker declared himcelf upon l the negro question?" came from the ar hall. an "My friend, we of the South are ea: willing to trust to Parker, certainiy m -nn oght to bea. 1I | Indiana Republicans.

Vt 3 Constables Seize Two Hundred and Fifty Gallons Whisk ey. 1: The dispensary constables Thurs ~ ay night made the largest haul they si have got in some months whe-1 they .r eizud 250 gallons of c rn whiskey. ad They think it is the fair week supply .. sf Sellers, King of Blind Tigers. Sellers announced about t wo monthi ~n ago that he was going out of business ey and his place on Gervais street is now ry >perated by a man named M'-cre. Mr. MAoore has been up before Dr. Stanley .'or selling liquor recently, however. But the constables think Sellers is sa still at it. Oa Friday, Septembel r- 30th, they learned that 250 gallons of R c~rn had been shipped h're over the Is Southern consigned to "No. 7,- Cum n~ bia." After miitight the-car ws lZ unloaded and next day Sellers pre. 1- sentei the bill of lading, properly en 5dorsed to the agent. The constables at have been looking for the 250 gallons Br ever since. 11- Thursday night they found it in an l1- onthouse on the lot, corner Plain and Ir Haiger streets, two blocks from the 1e pmnitentiary. The name of the man re residing in the house was given to t'he 10 constables as "Artie E lison," but nc re such name appears in the directory. 3e The place is on the same block as the Ln house in which Mau le Allen was mur t. dered. E lison will be brought b~fore ad the recorder Friday morning to tell LC how the whiskey happened to be on r bis premises. It was sai-d Thursday ad night that he had rented the outhouse ig to Sellers, and unless he can substan id tiate some such claim as that he will *r- have to answer to the charge of stor ly ing contraband liquors. d The information leading to the dis id covery of the liquor was secured by ~d anstable Garner and the seizure w Thursday night was made by Con ie stables Garner and Eison of District m Chief Osborne's squad. e- That a blind tiger should have the ie nerve to import 250 gallons of whiskey f into Columbia is remnarkable enough but that the car should be unloaded in the dead of night is even more dar lng. This incident may brir'g still Vs further trouble upon the consignee. 2s Th~e liquor, it is stated, was sent from Asheville and it should be easy 'enough to ascertain the true pur 'e chaser. It was sent prepaid, of course. tb Seilers has done the same trick sev n eral times before and the frequent ~c- visits of the conistables only seem to Sdiscourage him--he keeps at it.-Co i lumubia State.

The true, not the new, should be the motto of those who write or speak about the apple, the fruit longest In use by our branch of the hrman race. There are certain simple principles that must be given, line upon line, pre cept upon precept, to ever-. fresh gener ation of men or rather shald be given Just about that time that the genera tion Is beginning to lose its freshness and to call on the doctor for remedies. Every well to do man of good digestior i and appetite tends to eat too mued meat every day after his twenty-fifth birthday, and one of the values of fruit, the apple above others, is the ease with which it may be made an "antimeat for breakfast" article. With baked apples and cream and good roast potatoes on the breakfast table the dish of cold or hot meat becomes subordinate even if it -Is not entlreiy abolished. Men of forty, the age when every man not a fool is supposed to have acquired the right to give medical . advice, at least to himself, will relate -their various wonderful discoveries and remarkable self cures just as they had given up all hope, and In general these reduce themselves to this: "I ate less meat, but I did not know It. and I took a great deal more fruit, especially ap pIes." Baked apples for breakfast tend to reduce the amount of meat eaten If we are Inclined to eat too much and to supply the system with mineral foods and the digestive tract with acids. People who eat too much food are not. to be advised to eat baked apples as a mere addition to the breakfast, and those who need a substantial meal must. not let the baked apple interfere with the taking of solid'food. As a rule. those who eat three meals per diem will wisely have the nicest dish. of baked apples obtainable for break fast. It is a piece of simple wisdom worth pages of ordinary medical litera ture. The digestion of milk Is some what delayed by sour fruits, but pure, rich cream Is not milk. and taken with a juicy baked apple what dish can be more tempting and wholesome? If you are twenty-eight or thirty-five, Inclined to ring the doctor's-bell and talk with your druggist, try this pre scription. You may put sugar on the apples. but we shall not sugar coat the remedy with any mystery or any claim to novelty. We merely turn to your good wife or your housekeeper and ask whether she is careful to give you nice roast apples and cream and to make the breakfast meat dishes as little tempting as may be.-American Gar den. Disrael and Gladstone. A short time before his death 'is raen sat for his portrait to mfals In his studio hung a proof engraving of Gladstone. with his hands banging down before him lightly clasped and an almost beatilic expression on his face. Millais observed that Disraeli eyes were frequently bent upon the portrait. At length he asked-himIf he would accept a copy. "I was rather shy of offering it to you," he-apologet ically added. "I should be delighted to have it," said Disraeli, with what for him was an almost eager maner "People think that more or less through our political lives I have disliked Mr. Gladstone. To tell the truth, my only difficulty In respect to him has been that studying him from day to day and year to year I could never understand him." __ _ _ _ - : Made Him Low splrited.
