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. T:i *e

Four lifefcvisoners took an
automobile ride this week as
guests of the warden of the Indiaua
Penitentiary. Oie had
been immured for forty years, or
twice as long as Rip Van Winkle's
sleep; -mother for a generation.
The vehicle in which they rode Jf
was strange. So were the trol- '

man nearly collapsed from ''
nervous excitement. "If we had
seen an aeroplane I believe he ei
would have died,'1 said the ?
](
warden. a
What these men entered for a T
space from the death-in-life of a h
prison was a new world. It ueed- v
ed some such veritable allegory ft
as their bewildered ride to bring f]
home this fact to other men who, tl
having beeu a part of the trans- tl
formation, have accepted without tl
appraising it. The oldest of the d
prisoners went to sleep in the
age of steam. His awakening h
was in the age of electricity. ai
Trie new age began in effect b
with tho Ceutenuial Exhibition d
at Philadelphia in 1876. There vi
'were' only two electric-light ex- T
hibits at Philadelphia and it
Edison's ineandesceut lamps tl
were not shown nntil three years b
laUr, In 1876 Bell patented the rr
telephone. In 1875 the rear- tl
driving safety bicycle was in- n
vented. In 1877 Edison devised
his phonograph. In 1879 the u
first working electric railway of b
full size vat constructed. The tl
modern period of development tl
for the automobile began in 1884. ji
In 1885 the French Navy took up w
submarine navigation. In 1894 b
Edison brought eut the kinet- q
oscoDe. In 1896 Marconi pro- e
duced the first wireless tele- a
graph effective at long distances, a
The conquest of the air dates 1
from but three years ago. t]

across continents, have driven ti
vehicles iu the air and on land at '
two miles a minute*, have navi- s:
gated the sea's bottom, have re- k

across the field of vision, have r
summoned aid from below the g
horizon to s ;:r >h??s, have a
compelled iue t-rt .iiv. aseuces ]g
to light their streets and homes b

Ethical considerations aside, a
it is really worth while to keep ^

nding of the dead body early
lis morning of Miss Myrtle f
(awkins, a handsome girl in her t
arly twenties, the daughter of 1
f Wr. H. Hawkins, a well-to-do t
;weler, in Osceola Lake, one'mile 1
nd a half distant from the town, i
'nis afternoon the ioquest was t
eld and the jury brought in a s
ordict that the body was that of s
liss Hawkins and that shedied s
roin a cause unknuwn?in short <.
le verdict makes a mystery of
ie death. It does not say that r
je girl was drowned or that she JI
ied either by accident or suicide, i
Miss Hawkins left the home of 8
er father on the Flat Rock Road, t
scording to the testimonv of a 1
rother, about 9 o'clock Thurs- c
ay morning. She had talked of 1
isiting in Asheville and Concord, t
he discovery, of the body float- t
lg with the head partly out of
ie water near the Osceola dam J
y a small bov at 9 o'clock this c
lorning was the first news that s
ie town had that she had been f
lissing. s
Dr. Kirk, who is the coroner, (
jstified that examination of the 1
ody showed that there was lite
or no water in the lungs, and t
lat testimony explains the j
try's aefusal to find that death "i
ras caused by drowning. 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. (
'he face was in such condition
nat it could jUjj41ig.PPsitiveiy
Bcdguia&d. *For sHime after trie j
iscorery of the body there was
onjecture as to the girl's iden- 1
ity.
One witness1 testified that he I
aw a girl as be d rove around the
ike in his automobile at 10:30
'clock Thursday morning, sit- \
ng on a rock by the lakeside e
eading a book, and that the I
irl's dress wasof the same color f
s that of the dead girl. Osceola t
tke is a large pond tkirted by a f
eautiful road. A hotei sits on a c
ill overlooking it; the road is (
oustantly traveled and in every 1
'ay tht country about the lake 1
> open and public. 1
Evidence of foul play was en- 1
rely lacking at the inquest. (
fhat is causing comment is that c
o public report of the girl's dis- 1
ppearance preceded the finding s
f the body and the jury's failure c
> designate a cause of death,
'he baother testified that in- c
uires had beeu made about the t
irl by him, and made plain t;lat f
le family was disquieted by her p
bsence, though her plans for (
isiting supplied some explana- c
on for it. Auother feature iu 1
le case is that Miss Hawkins is |]
