HBP' P I- MOT 1KB BOLL WREVEL, BUT | WHAT IS ITT It'* a worm, full grown, measures about an inch and has a bill With teeth sharp and keen. It 1b destroying cotton on the farm of Mr. T. H. Privette. It burrows into the boll or hatches within, feeds its peaky self on the germ, destroying and killing the boll and bores out like an auger. Mr. Privette j and Mr. J. W parrow brought a box , full of the destroyed bolls to the Messenger office last Saturday. The editor mailed a few to Clemson College requesting a report. Mr. Privette discovered the damage done! to his crop a few days ago. Twen- i ty per cent of two rows two acres j long, he said, had been destroyed. | A UU WUilll to gl^VUUSU UUU I v DC 111 lilt O f a caterpillar, but is not hairy. Can ) any of our farmer readers give ; -V. the name of the worm.?? The above is from the Hartsville : Messenger. The worm referred to has made its appearance in this county. Several days ago a farmer on Mr. J. S . Thompson's place brought a dozen bolls of cotton to The Herald, showing the work of the worm. It burroughs its way into the boll, causing the boll to rot S. " and drop from the stalk. Messrs. 8. F. Stephens and F H. Hayes who saw the bolls in The Herald office were of the opinion that the Insect Is known as the "wet weather" worm ' Excessive rains keep the ground ! damp, particularly where the foil-; age is very thick, affording the | worm a fertile field in which to ' R thrive. Mr. Hayes says the worm is not a recent thing. , He found A the same worm on hiB cotton years cotton, but Mr. Hayes says they do not breed fast enough to do any material damage. It is not the boll | weevil. It is the boll worm. ? TRAGEDY OF ERRORS ENDS. Story of Twain Separated During Civil War?Ohio Youth Left Bride For Front. Kenton, O., Sept. 1?As quaint a romance as was ever written down in fiction has found its ending here in real life. Philip Carr, remarried to the wife he lost in the turmoil of the War Between the Sections nearly half a century ago, is enjoying with her his second honeymoon. They were re-united in wedlock a few days since, but it was only yesterday that the facts became known as to their life's history. Separated by raiding guerilias who captured the federal mails; divorced because of a believed desertion; each remarried and ^ each again widowed, they found the love of their youth still aflame upon an accidental meeting not long since, and their new betrothal folr lowed at once. I Carr is now 74 years old and his wife 68. Marched to Front. It was in 1862 that Carr, responding to Lincoln's second call for troops, marched to the front, leaving his bride of a year and his infant daughter behind. When some months later his letters and remittances stopped, she was induced to apply for a divorce on the ground that he had deserted her. sometime later she remarried and vent to live in the East Mis Uride Missing. When Carr returned home from the war the bride was missing and he learned of the divorce. Stung to the quick he too married another. Many years later her second ih- husband and his second wife died. Wit Recently he returned to the scenes * of his boyhood arid here he met ? "the girl he left behind him" in '*>2. He explained how the mails had been raided and the letters written 5 with the stubs of a pencil in the trenches often stolen with his slender savings from his soldier's pay of $13 a month. And he told ol how, when her letters stopped he too believed that he had been deserted. Both the old people say, however, that the tragedy of errors had been made up to them by theii happiness now .
