There is much unrest among the farmers of upper Fort Mill township and lower Steele Creek over the appearance there during the last few days of the fall army worm, and it is reported that the worms are to be seen on perhaps a dozen plantations. The army worm that has just made its appearance hereabouts is known as the fall army worm, as this name distinguishes it from the ordinary army worm of the Northern States which appears earlier in the season. The fall army worm is also entirely different from the cotton leaf caterpillar which defoliated cotton all through the Southern States last fall. It is a caterpillar and when grown will go underground and transform to a flying moth, or miller, emerging after about ten days. The caterpillars usually hatch out most abundantly in low grass lands, and as they grow they devour more and more of this vegetation and spread over wider areas. Corn on low lands is suojeci w severe damage by them. Although preferring grasses and grains they will also feed on peas, garden crops, etc., if their preferred food is lacking. They are hungry, eat ravenously and grow rapidly, which accounts for their seemingly sudden appearance. They usually disappear quite as | suddenly as they come?and this disappearance may be due to their becoming mature and changing to the moth?or in some cases it is due to the good ' work of parasitic insects and diseases, predaceous insects and birds which feed upon them. Or both these factors together may cause them to disappear. It is learned from the Charlotte papers, however, that the farmers of Mecklenburg, cooperating with their commissioner of agriculture, Mr. Clark, will make a determined effort to kill out the pest by spraying the vegetation where the worms have been at work and kill off the second brood which are expected to appear within the next few weeks. In view of the appearance of the army worms in Mecklenburg county, the North Carolina State entomologist has sent out the following circular advising the ? L A.^ f Un nccf larmers now iu uumuai mc fA/OV, "If an outbreak of these worms is detected before they become widespread, they can be cornbatted by spraying the vegetations upon which they are feeding with paris green mixed with water at a rate of about one-half a pound to the barrel. They may also be checked by ploughing a deep furrow around them and dragging a log back and forth to crush the larvae that accumulate in the bottom of the furrow. Another method, which is sometimes used, is to go over the infested fields with a roller drag, so as to crush the insects on the ground. They are sometimes trapped by placing windrows of chaff, stray, leaves, pine straw, etc., around them in front of the moving caterpillars, in which many of them take refuge during the day and which may then be burned. Poisoned bunches of green grass may be distributed for them on strips of * ' ' / x l ploughed land devoid or omer food. In the case of valuable garden truck plants, a sprayer should at once be brought intc use. And in the corn fields, it may likewise be profitably used along the outer rows where the worms first appear." More Damage by Worms. The Enquirer of Friday say* that several acres of fine corn or the Rock Hill road, just withir the incorporate limits of York ville, and belonging to Mr. R. T Allison, have been literally ruinec by worms within the past ter ' days. The corn is on the groum that has made from sixty-five t< ! seventy-five bushels to the acre and this year Mr. Allison watrying to beat previous records . He has been fertilizing and cul [ tivating to that end. The worm: t began making their appearand : when the corn was about kne< | high, and they have made sucl , rapid progress as to make th< j outlook almost hopeless for an: yield at all. The worm that i doing the damage is a new pes . in so far as all with whom th j reporter has talked are able t ? tell. It is of a pale green color j somewhat similar to the ordinar, roasting ear worm; but is evi i dently different. The worm , range from a knitting needle u i to a lead pencil in size, and o I Wednesday the largest of ther } were two inches long. Ther t were thousands of them in evi orxrJ ttiou u'prp strinnin [ UCIIV.C aiiu vnv^ c blades clean from the sralks an then going after the stalks. 1 y is not the army worm, so peopl t who are familiar with that pes , say. The opinion is expresse s that if the worms develop to fu i size and get away before th e corn is destroyed below the firs j joint there will still be a chanc i for a crop; but otherwise ther t will be nothing. y e York Campaign Opens August 6. 3 Pursuant to a call of Chairma 3 W. W. Lewis, the executiv committee of the York count d Democracy met Friday at Yorl i, ville and arranged the count t campaign schedule, levied a y sessments against the candidate n for the various offices, fixed t\ 0 date for the closing of the con s mittee's roll for filing pledge; n and transacted a number < e other routine matters.

It should not be forgotten that no individual, whether duly registered or not, will be allowed to vote in the primary election to be held the last Tuesday in August unless his name is on the club roll of the precinct at which he desires to vote at least five davs before the election.
