The census bureau on .July 1st . r ??-?i the ti i i?l bulletin oh the, l -'Ltto populition of tin' Uuit? (I The number of negroes in t Ire United States including the c.tiliro arcu covered by the twelfth census (continental United States, Alaska and Hawaii) and Porto I?i eo is b.'jO l.odl, perhaps a larger number than is found in any other j c mintry outside of ^fri *a. Of ihose, about 'JO per cent live in the ? South. ? * A Washington desnateh of Monday Hays that the effectiveness of the Guatemalan ants in checking the ravages of the hull weevils in the cotton fields has been tested and Mr. Cook, the expert of the department of agriculture, in a telegram to Secretary Wilson today, announces that the ants promptly destroyed the weevils! and the Texas red ants aw well. ; MM... 4 i.: .1 41. - i lit- inr^iiilll v? lilt II vols I lie hllll' ject of such yroat setinfect io,n was ' dated Victoria, Texas. m I The fanners of this section and surrounding country should not only observe with interest the an : iiouneeineut of the Fanners In-j stituto to la.* held in the beautiful ' j?rove opposite the residence of J. Holes hut should attend. Farmini; has become a profession, and to be a successful farmer one must henceforth regard it as such or his vocation in life shall be ! an utter failure. The only medium 1 through which the fanners may become better acquainted with the soienee of farming is the Fanner's Institute; and you should show your interest iu the propagation of the noble institution by ut least your presence. p * It is established beyond doubt, says Harper's Weekly, that the j nineteenth century there was in all the civilized nations of the world an important lengthening of tiie average Jife, and that this improvement is especially characteristic of the last half of the century. It is also clear that the improvement is limited almost who lly to the earlier half of life- that is t ? say. there has heen an immense J diminution of infant mortality, a large decrease of the rate of nior- ' t dity among children and youth, and, on the whole in general, an increase in the mortality of advanced life, most particularly aniong nudes older than 55. Thus idl these influences, while saving life, tend especially to save lives which are feeble in a greater pro- I purtiou than those which are strong, and thus in the end must lower the vitality of the groat muss I of the population. WW* The department of agriculture j is about to muster ants into its service in the war that is being inade upon the boll weevil in Tex- 1 as. Dr. O. F. Gook of that depart- \ inent arrived in New Orleans from Guatemala on Tuesday bringing' with him actoss the gulf 90 little ; bags tilled with the curious nuts Avliich are supposed tt> be the dead- ( ly foe of the boll weevil, liefore this reaches the render's eye they will have arrived at Victoria, Tex Vis, where a division of the agrii ulture department is stationed, repdy to tind out what these insects are worth as exterminators. '^Nie boll weevil is a very dainty feeder and he dies in a day or two if tie is kept whore he cannot get any cotton holl. He is a strict vegetarian, and above all things he is fond of the blossom of the 4*,otton plant. The eggs is laid in -the bud where the larva and pupa .enlarge to the mature weevil. In tyis process the nectar distillery is destroyed and the ants who large, ly ljve on this neotar arc not only <l,'M&tppoiuted bijt enraged. They thereupon set their police on the tragic and hunt the weevil to his hi^qnd destroy him, by stinging )mn |o death. Thpy sting nothing ,*?lse, but are vefy fond of the sswe?*t liquid fount) in the ljectaof the cotton plant. -nttr Tin? annual meeting of the * Dispensary VMM Follcv/. A prominent citizen of Foil Mill advised llit> writer on A\ **< 1 nesday that h?* feared tin* inauguration of prohibition in Charlotte would result in the establishment of a dispensary in Fort Mill, says tlio Yorkville Kncjnircr. It is a fact tliat Fort Mill people now find it convenient to Imv all the whisky they want in t'harlotte, and with the stoppage of the Charlotte sup plv, there will lie a strong effort to establish a new depot of supple s nearer home.

Thermal Map to ths Stats Commissioner Watson lms nt last succcded in getting through Director liaiitM-, of the weather bureau, a thermal map of this state, of which he is very proud. The map shows up wonderfully well. It shows that the mean anneal temperature for the whole stale is ti.'f decrees; the lowest mean annual temperature is .V.), at (jipenville, and the highest <>7, at Beaufort. The mean annual tern yejruturo for tire state for the sprint; months is (id. for the summer 7b, for tiro autumn (id, and for the winter Hi. One of the striking facts that the map shows is that a belt running across the entire state and stretching in puts as wide as Berkeley and Chesterfield counties, shows a mean annual temperature of from (I'd to 'it degrees. Commissioner Watson expects to havo a large number of these maps pi inted, because lie linds t hat it is just such temperature that attracts people from the great northwest, and it is tire average temperature that is best adapted for trucking and fruit, crops.

Hughes, of Lancaster, deeply sympathize with them in the desth of their little daughter, which sad event occurred last Wednesday afternoon at 5o'clock at the home of Mr. Hughes' mother, Mrs. 8. M. Mills, on Confederate street. The little one was stricken ill shortly after its parents arrival here about two weeks ago on a visit, and steadily grew worse until death releived its suffering. Mr. ami Mrs. Hughes, accompanied by I)r. ?T. H. Thomwell, left Thursday morning with the remains of the little babe for Lancaster, where, in the afternoon, the funeral uiid burial tyok place.

( hie of the most amazing ph.v/? h af tic t lection, be- ! yotul t!?c numerical result, which was a surprise to the majoiity of' ardent prohibitionists th mselves was the extraordinary number of v .tors who did not ?o to the polls at all.

It was an orderly yet pictur esipie, el etion day, and as it closed there was a general spirit I i of jubilation amour; the prohilii- I t i<jti forces. Never in Charlotte, perhaps, was there exhibited the J work of so i lose and well-ordered i an oi'oani'/aiion as the followers of the Anti-Saloon Leauuo. By day- j break men, women and even children wore up and about their ap. j pointed dut tes. Committees work- i ed with a precision which could not but command the intellectual I admiration of their onnonciitt: Tlioio were no clashes of political enemies < 111 riiii_c the day. There were at every voting place a miniher of workers f> r the anti-saloon party, and they weut ahoul their work with an earnestness and energy which switched many au undecided American sovereign to their ranks. 40^ News of Pleasant Valley. Misses (.'loud llall Biul llena Perry stood the Winthrop entrance examination at Lancaster last Friday. M isH Mannie Wolfe, of Fort Mill, is visiting in Pleasant Vallry Messrs. d. d. Perry and J >. K. Hail gttonded the State campaign ! meeting in Lancaster last Friday. i Kvervhodv seems to he tnkin-r n ! great interest in the Fanners' In jstitute to he held next Saturday the 1 (>tli inst., and it bids fair not oniy in lie a profitable occasion fur the farmers and those interested, hut oim of great pleasure. An invitation iaextended to everybody to eonte and bring well-tilled baskets. A bin: picnic dinner will be served on the grounds, and the : public will have free access to the tine chalybeate spring water, be- i ! sides refreshments of all kinds j will be Herved. Jt is hoped that I I everybody will turnout with their wives and children and have a grand reunion on this occasion. J Hon. O. W. Potts will net as chairman of the meeting, intro-j duce speakers, etc. We will have three able speakers, namely: Dr. (i. 10. Xenon. Prof. ('. O. Newman I and Prof. F. S. Shiver, either of : whom it will be a treat to hear. The fanners should take more in| terest in this institute work, which , is the only means of arousing them to the necessity of improving their : methods of farming. There are thousands of farmers in South Carolina, who, on account of lack ! of information do not appreciate the work, or ratlu-r show an inI different spirit toward everything I that has been done to reach the fanning public, and it is this class ! of farmers that Clemeon college is J ! attempting to reach through these ' farmers* institutes. Von may send them bnllotin after hnlletin, and ! call their attention time and again to the great mistakes in thoirngrij cultural practices, but this will not I reach them nor put them to thinking. They will say this is the way our fathers fanned and it is ! i good enough for us, and as an evideuce of this fact one needs but to I ride through tin* hill portion of! : our State and observe the gullies I I that are to be seen on every side. ! 1 These gullies destroy more during j i one ram than can he huilt. up in ' rive years, and there is absolutely i no excuse for suoh a condition. | Remember the time and place and everybody coine on duly l(?th to! the grove in front of the home of ' 1 Mr. J.
