F v"*r' ' j r i. messsEKaaESBmagaBBumaBMaitam&miHk DANGER FROM FINK BOLL WORM IS BRING STRESSED Clemson College, April 5.?Within ' few days there will be ieeued by the feouth Carolina crop peat commission a new regulation governing the transpor* tation of certain materials into and within South Carolina in order to prevent the introduction of the pink boll worm of cotton. The pink boll worm situation at this time is extremely serious, says Prof. A. F. Conradi, of the commission. It was found a short time ago that the pest no longer confined itself to Texas but that besides enlarging its area in Texas it has become established in the three southwestern counties of Louisiana. v" Before these latter places were discovered, an indefinite number of car* of cotton seed were shipped from these points to various points in Louisiana -and Texas, and it is very probable that the pest will establish itself through some of these shipments in new locali* tics, far from the infested area as now known. Until the varidus shipments can be thoroughly traped, there is no way of knowing with any degree of certainty to what paints the insect may have been transported. The pink boll worm is one of the worst cotton peat* and should it .be introduced into South Carolina In the near future and its damage added to that already expected by the boll weevil, it would make the production of cotton very pm-arious. Therefore, the regulations as promulgated will bo unusually drastic until the distribution of the pest can again be definitely determined. Shipments of cotton line, lintera, waste, sweepings, and samples of seed cotton, cotton seed, cotton seed hulls, cotton ginning and milling machinery, cotton, bugging, and all materials which have been used in connection with growing, harvesting, baling and manufacturing cotton lint or cotton seed will very probably be prohibited for the present from Louisiana and Texas and all foreign countries. Provision will also be made for the transportation of these materials from all states outside of Texas and Louisiana. People having outstanding orders or intending to ship any of these materials from any other states should write the state crop pest commission for full information. The new regulation will be sent to the press as soon as issued and the co-operation of everyone is requested. Similar action has already been taken by some of "lhe other southern states, and the rest are contemplating such action. SAYS FARMERS ARE SELLING COTTON TO EUROPEAN USERS Columbia, April 6.?"T^te producers arc learning the marketing end of the production and it would seem thst they are apt scholars," said J, Skottowe Wannutnaker, president of the American Cotton association todny. "Many of them are accepting the opportunity offered them to sell their cotton for October and December delivery at a price far above what they can buy October and December cotton on the exchanges. This opportunity has been offered from European sourceH. Europe is intensely uneasy over the raw cotton situation. "Rrcalixing the enormous increase in the requirements of raw cotton to fill the pressing demands for the manufactured product at enormous profits, the shrewd European trader lias decided that -a stitch in time saves nine, hence he in covering his wants by paying to the Amoricun producer a price enormously above October and December quotations; the producer to assure himself of the absolute certainty of a handsome profit, immediately upon selling to bin European cousin, purchases the same amount of cotton for October or December delivery upon the New York Exchange and these transactions are now making these sales but' in addition certain exporters are making large commitments." REASSESSMENT OF RAILROADS IN STATE NOW UNDERWAY Columbia, April 5.?The work of reassessing the railroad property in South Carolina is now under way. Severn! representatives of the Interstate Commerce Commission are at work on tno job, milking Columbia their headquarters. They are getting a considerable amount of data from the state tax commission and- also from county authorities in various counties of the > state. These special assessors are now at work on the property of the Colum-< bil, Newberry A Lanrens Railway. They have already completed the reassessing of the Atlantic Coast Line Property, and before thoy leave the state they will have gone into the valuation of all railroad property, including rights of way, buildings and rolling stock. Their principal effort, however, is with regard to lands. GASTONIA MADE BIG GAIN IN POPULATION; CHESTER FIGURES The report of the census bureau Ratur?'.,y night gave the population of Oastonia, N. O., as 12.871, an increase of I2-I.fi per cent. This shows that the population of the North Carolina city moro than doubled during the past ten years.

V. ' TBI COTTON MARKET WAS QUITS ACTIVE PAST WEEK New York, April 6.?The cotton market wai active and firm during the past week with all deliveriee making new high records for the season. Both domestic and foreign trade interests were among the more prominent buyers, presumably to cover hedges In old crop monthB while the buying of later deliveries was accompanied, by rumors that European spinners were making contracts for early new crop shipment. According to local'' .brokers, the strength of the' near, months has reflected the continued absence of spqt pressor^ coupled with a belief that> remaining holders in the south would refuse to follow declines, particularly in view of unsatisfactory early new crop reports. Business In the <latar months broadened materially and the advances during the latter part of the week were led by October owing to unfavorable weather In the belt and the weekly report-, of the weather bureau in the southwest. So far as indicated by comment rminri fKo rlnre nn anw A.ia ? m ? v..v m mmrn^t UV nV?.lUUa HUH Uls JltlC* been occasioned by the report of piuk boll infestation in Texas so far as the new crcp is concerned but the storms : and rains in eastern belt sections are believed to have caused furthef delays in the farm work while there has been apprehension of floods as result of the rapid rise in the Mississippi river. Owing to scarcity of labor delays in farm work are supposed to be taken more seriously than usual this season and increased demand for early now crop months was attended by the reports that nervousness over the talk of a backwood crop start had spread to manufacturers. A renewal of export demand was reported during the earlier part of tho week and colored by the firmer tone of exchange but sales in the southern spot markets, as officially reported, have continued light and according to some of the spot broker* here the eastern belt spot basis luu eased during the week. Uncertainty regarding final action on the proposed amendment to the cotton futures act has caused more or less nervousness, probably increasing the tendency to even up commitments in advance of the Easter holidays and there was considerable realixing during today's trading. WANT ENDEAVORERS TO , MEET NEXT IN COLUMBIA Columbia, April 6.?The Endeavor societies of the churches of Columbia are to extend an invitation to the state Christian Endeavor convention, which meets in Spartanburg Friday, Saturday and Sunday next, to meet in 1021 in tho capital city. A committee of three prominent Columbians has been instructed to take the Columbia invitation to the convention in Spartanburg the enrt of this week. Christian Endeavor conventions have been held in recent years in Sumter, Charleston, Laurens and Augusta, the 1010 convention in Augusta having been for the two states, Oeorgin and South Carolina. Columbia will expect to entertain several hundred young people next year at this annual gathering, representing a half dozen different denominations and every section of the state.

While a committee from the chamber of commerce is showing conclusively why the Hotel Chamberlain should be built at Virginia Beach or elsewhere near Cape Henry and Norfolk, a Newport News committee is impressing upon the secretary of war and the New York money interests in the hotel the necessity of its being rebuilt vit Old Point ^/Comfort ,*?t or near the old site. A New York report states that Secretary Daniels has written to Secretary of War Baker setting fort hthe desirability of rebuilding the hotel on the old site. * The secretary of navy stated while here recently that he was going to do all he could to help the siuation. Secretary Daniels emphasised the fact that Old Point Comfort was a half-way house between New York and Florida. Many Sinn Feiaers Arrested.
