Prompted by an earnest desire to maintain a permanent peace in the extreme east, our government, by onr command, entered into negotia tions with Russia, but ve regret that, owing to an absence of sincerity qji the part of Russia in her peaceful profes sions, we have been compelled to ap peal to arms, and having taken that step, we cannot hesitate until the ob ject of the war is attalne.d.

In the option of Mr. J. w. Bauer the section director, the frosts of last w??k d|d no damage whatever to tho coming peach crops here or anvwhere Hse In tho State, with the possible ex ception of Edgefield county, where ice formation of tho 1 1 tb possibly de stroyed some of the earlier \arlcties which bloom early. The March cold periods have not bpeu ?evere enough to ! injure tijfi-~mo?t dellcat^ vegetables, j The danger of freezes Ih not yet over, however, though there is no ground for ' and great alarm for the future in thin section-? so far as temperature is con cerned. The /reejjo which occurred late in March, 1894. and which prac ti cally wiped out the orange and pine apple business in Florida, was atl rX traordinarv occurrence which may not bo expected to come again in a quarter of ? century or lougor, if it ever eomes again. The general outlook for a full crop of all Kinds of fruit in this sec tion is favorable so far. What the in sects will do for these crops later, how ever, .is a matter that cannot be fore told. , I Insects," said Mr. Bauer, "are the ! greatest of the farmer's' enemies worms, grubs and scale Insects of va rious kinds. This condition may he said to be due to the steadily increas ing prevalence of the email boy with the gun. These boys who are out shooting robins ought to be spanked, every ow of them. Every robin they kill is worth from $5 to $10 in trie num ber of insects it would destroy if aU ! lowed to live. I mention tho robin particularly because he is about all others an Insectlverous bird, though of course all birds are more or less so. Birds are, therefore, the farmer's best filcnds, e.nd unless more effective moans are adopted by the legislature to protect them and encourage their propogation the Insects wil become In creasingly victorious in their war on the growing crops. "If the birds had been let alone (D the last decade there would be enough or them here now to hold the army of insects In check. Nature is amply able to take care of herself. She has pro vided birds to hold these insects in check. To see people interfere with the scheme of nature with their eyes wide open and then to mourn over the consequences Is one of the most, pa thetic sights I know of." I The Mileage Book Law. Tho mileage book law will become effective March 25th. This is thw new law to require the railroads to trans port not only the purchaser of mileage books but members of his family. The bill was introduced by Dr. S. T. D. Lancaster, of Spartanburg, and passed without a fight of consequence.
