We were shown last week h bottle of the destructive Mexican cotton boll weevils by Mr. J. W. Wat kins who had Just returned from bin large farm near Albany, in I>ougherty comity, Oa. Mr. Watfctus left a few of the Insects at this ottlco ami anyone Interested can ace them hy calling at thin office. Mr. Watklns says that they hare pot far enough advanced into tleorgla territory to do a great deal of damage so far, I. u i another year It will be ftir. worst. The farmers of that state are afntaaV planning a system of diversi fying crops iu order to meet this loss, ^ abort description of this Insect sho\v>; that the egg of tho weevil la a small, glossy white object. Upon hatching from the egg, the Jarva is a wh^te legless grub. The adult is 4 broypfydi snout beetle. Tho head Is Into a slightly curved beak or, sudut. In size and color the WtpvU* vary. The smallest ones bare ly measure 1-10 of an Inch, while the largest ones are 1-4 of an Inch long; The fo6d supply is said to have the greatest effect upon tho size, i-vrvlie < number of progeny that may V-fW?Wf---from one pair of hibernate! weevils Is enormous, as the following figures will show; First generation. 70; second generation 2,450; third gen eration 85,750; fourth generation *001,250. " Making a total for tho season ofila^.'saor? ? ? ? ? Life and Habits of the Boil Weevil. The weevils live through the winter in the open bolls hanging on the cot ton stalk, and also under tho dead leaves, weeds, grass; logs, brush or stumps, In and around the cotton Holds. They come out of winter quarters grad ually In the spring, and if they find nc\ cbtton to eat, may crawl back and stay tfwhlle longer, for some will e-' merge before tho cotton is up, while the last may not como out before the first of July. So soon as the cotton la up they can feed upon the young Jearfcs and tender stalks, but do little damage then, and do not begin to mul tiply Uu til' the squares appear. The : Xpniale lays her eggs in the squares or bolls, and may lay as many an two hundred in a period of about 45 days. From the egg the weeV!l progresses through the stages of the tfrub tfttd pupa to a i/ adult iu from flf to twenty-one days. This means ^PPWW^our or five full generations of weevils in a season, and each pair which survive the winter may become t the ancestors of at leasct one - million weevils by the , end of the season, if unniolestMl, * . ?*?'.?? ? i:. ti tovioae wg is ^leiHjeited U^aJttUfire, as it wjttl furnW^food foi only one young weevH. -TbiTO OT'fisnr and some times more eggs are placed in a slug'/? lock of cotton, as It will sustain that many young weevils, but the bolls are not eommonly infested until the squares become scarce. * BIO DEAL IN CATTLE.

John Gary Kvans, chairman of the r Demoeratlc party In South Carlllna, has Issued tlu? following statement to the people of' thb state: To the Democrats of South (Jarollu# : r My attention has been called to the fact that tickets for the general elec tion are being distributed to votoro In the counties with the name of Oole U Blease printed thereon in place of H. 1, Manning, the regular nominee for Governor of the Democratic party of this State. In a speech before a con vention of his frlemlH in Columbia on the 24th instant, the defeated candi date In the primary slated that neither he nor hits f r lends, wt re bound by the result of the late primary, election In which he was a candidate. This man filed a pledge to support the nominee*. State and national, of the Democratic party, and wheu lie voted took *u* oath to abide by the result of the pri mary election aud to Hupport the nom inees thereof When the State com mittee met to tabulate the returns and declare the result not a protest or contest, written or verbal, was made on behalf of any candidate. The flimsy pretense of fraud with out offering evidence thereof to the committee or to the courts of the State Is simply an excuse to matte, .a cow ardly and convert attack on the regular nominees, of the party. These fiallOt* that are being distributed will be voted by some or they would not lie handled In the various -counties of the State. There are between 12,000 and 15,000 negroes registered. Unless the believers in a white man's government go to the polls and . vote the regular ticket on election day there Is danger of its defeat or at least humiliation.* I deeuiv.it my. duty as State chairman of the Democratic 'party to' sound thla note of alarm and call upon all white men who remember the dark days of radical misrule not to be caught sleep ing pn guard while these enemies of our civilization are assassinating the nominees of the party. Our people have trusted white men tef be true so long that they ard hard ?to^ mikfi Jwdleve^ that one could* violate his sacred pledge or oath, but It Is frankly admitted by some that they intend doing It and we must meet it like men. If candidates before the primary and voters thereat, bound by a solemn oath *o support the nomi nees, can violate their oaths because they believe that improper means have been employed without resorting to the party machinery of the State courts to correct the supposed, wrongs, then ev ery man^Mria tige and Jury* and Titd tffny rtwni Wine science, ('an we afford to countenance such conduct as this? If so, our pri mary laws are not. worth the papfcr' they are .written- upon and the safc^ guards of the white supremacy are mere shadows. Not only is our State ticket menaced but there are three sets of Presidential electors in the field and the defeated candidate oiienly states that he will not assist in electing Woodrow Wilson, the Democratic nom inee for President. Could a more open bolter be wanted than this? Our nominees for State of fices are all good and true white men, with honorable records. Our nomluee for President has done more for the country at large, and the South in particular, than any - President since the War. Between the States. Their characters are unlmi>eached. Rally then to their support Don't go to sleep while the iierjurer votes. Be vigilant and see that every vote Is cast and counted; this Is your only safeguard. John Gary Evans, ...

Odds Favoring Hughes Wiped Out and Now Even Money. New York, Oct. 28. ? Half a million dollars has been wagered on the re sult of the election at the big hotels here during the past w;eek. This esti mate was made today from the re ]x?rt* t?f the betting commissioners a?<l stake holders ^making theTF head quarters" In . the uptown letting dis trict. The odds which have favored Hughe* up to the present were wiped out In the betting today. AH the bet ting, and there was comparatively lit tle of . it, was made at even money. The scarcity of Hughes' backers was explained . by the desire of the Re publican supporters to get better odds. It is generally believed that next week will see the odds 10 to 8 In favor of President Wilson.' Only three large bets were record ed today at the hotels. Tex Rickard, the sporting promoter, put $7,000 at ?even motley on the President's chance of re-election. 'John A. Drake took the Hughes* end. . Rickard, with $0G>OQO more to-' bet on general and Ohio results found no takers.

We do this after giving the matter careful consideration, and (hiding our selves powerless at this time to take any other steps whereby the news pai>ers may lie continued, and feeling that we art* acting both for the good of the imtrous and the publishers of the papers. "News paper In the jmst eight months has advanced from I48.. per tow until at the present time it Is quoted at $i;U( per ton, aud almost unobtainable at that price, some whulp* sale paper houses having none to of fer ttt all and some of the mills re fusing to take on any new contracts.

"The only thing that will save, the newspapers of South Carolina is an advance of advertising and subsorlp tlon rates.

We ask you In the Interest of a free press, and the best Inter ests of yourself, community and state at large, to meet these advances cheer fully and to cooperate in every manner possible. , .v> "Paper makers insist tlia t there must be a curtailment of the demand ou them; that they are working three shifts a day, and that at this saasoii of the year when they should be ac cumulating a reserve stock, that they ban not supply the demand.
