& . f MAKEQUARENTINE LESS SWEEPING MAMTACTI KEBS WIN POINT ltestrictions Are So Change as to Af feet Cotton From inircu-u (ountiees Instead of States. Greenville, Sept. 9.?The conference held hers this afternoon between the ehtomological committee of the board of trustees of Clem son college, the executive committee of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' association and 60 or more cotton mill presidents, railway officials and cotton brokers from North and South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee and Mississippi, iu reference to orders issued several days ago by the State ento ;:ologist forbidding the importation after September 10 of any cotton into this State from the States of Texas, Arkansas, O k 1 a h o m a, Mississippi aud Louisiana, resulted in the Cotton Manufacturers' association winning its point. The entomological committee defined certiain counties in the boll weevil infested States from which cotton can not be imported instead of placing a quarantine on entire States. The date after which no cotlon can be imported was changed from September 10 to Oct >ber 1At the same time the entomological committee laid down certain rules which the cotton mill men and railroad officials promised to strictly observe. The substance of reso 1 u t i o n s adopted is as follows: 1. That no cotton seed, seed colton, cotton seed hulls or baled or unbaled cottoD, or any of these * ' ..Ur.ll used for pacmng purpusea ?nau be received in South Carolina if it comes from any boll weevil ^L^^erritory. That transportation deliver irrSrfrth I BHKy HHfPmrcts which come from acountry in which the boll weevil is known w to exist., ' The non-existence of the boll weevil in any county sbah be determined in the latest official reports of the bureau of entomolf g: of the United States department of agriculture. 3. That local ageuts of transportation companies shall be required to notify the State cutoiuoiugist at Ck-msou of the ,irrival of anv cottou products from boll weevil territory in violation > of the law, and upou receipt of such notice the State entomolog- j ist shall investigate the shipment and if he finds it iu violation of the regulations of the boa rd shall huve the same removed from the State at once. 4. In case of cotton lint or hulls or cotton seed being used for packing purposes and the samf ceme from a boll w ee v i 1 tern lory the goods sliull be unpacked iu the presence of the State entomologist and the packing destroyed. Arrangements will be made whereby the State entomologist will receive monthly from the United States depart in en t of agriculture certain maps showing just what counties of the cotton-producing States are infected with the boll weevil. These maps will be forwarded to (Japt E. A. Sin.vtho, presid-mt of the South Carolina Cotton Manufacturers' association, who will cause ti e n to be distributed throughou' the State.

The t ody was identified at the in- | uest by A. H. Hawkins, a broth- i r, from the clothing, shoes tand { slight burn on a finger- It was | Iso identified by a physician.
