I calls for help now coining from melon

If sufficient trap crops of summer
squash were not planted arocwxi the
e<!go of the fields *nd near giritasy
ditch banks or waste places when
melons were planted, later planting
can be ma<te m hills where melons
i are niiseing.
^ When the huge appear on the
squash plants place pieces of bark or
shingles near live bpse of the plants
and In early morning kill the. bugs

Also scrape off the patches of brown'

When the bugs leconie too num- j
' orous for hand picking, kill the young
by spraying m Uvte afternoon with!
a mixture of one pound of laundry

carefully so that all the insects will;
be hit. If the plants should become
so heavily infested that they start'
withering, spray them with kerosene!
or cover with dry pine wtraw and
p; burn them.
After harvest, diwtroy all wquashi

c?)ss with South Carolina spring p:gs, j
which are usually farrowed in March,;
clehti lots, proper; feeding of mothers,)
creep feeding of suckling pigs and!
access to green forage after weaning
are essential, Prof. L. V. Starkey,;
chief animal husbandman here, ad- j
vises.
When the pigs are farrowed, it is.
important that they go at once on
area not infested with parasites,
says t h<' specialist! ami when they j
are three w<g-ks old, the sow should
be on full feed. The best way, in;
short, to keep the young, pigs grow-:
ing is through proper feeding of the;
sow which should have all she will
eat of a well-balanced ration.
For the suckling pigs Prof. Starkey
recommends creep feeding, six parts j
of corn and one part of "fish meal be-j
ing a satisfactory ration. Creep |
feeding has several advantages, the
chief one being that the pigs learn.
to out and are not stunted when
weaned at about eight weeks of age.
After weaning access to some green
forage0and a ration such as corn and
f\shmoal free-choice, are recommend-j
ed for the pigs, which should reach j
marketable* weight in September bo-'
fore the usual drop in price of pork.
THE IXMl POISONER

Nothing on earth could disturb his '

Or his love and his faith befog. j

Bishop Cannon
Will Face Trial
Washington. May 16.?A remflfbw
of the heated political campaign
was given Bishop Jam** CanjKm, Jr.,
Uxh?y through an appellate court'*
ruling that he must aland trial on
charge* of violating the corrupt pmc-1
tlce* act.
Through his attorney*, the churchman
gave notice that he planned to
appeal at once to the supreme court.
In it he will attempt to have the
highest court overturn the ruling today
of the IHatrict of (Viumbia circuit
court of appeal* that the indictments
against him ami M?s Ada
Burix?ugh?, of Richmond, Va., were
valid. His lawyer* will also challenge
the constitutionality of the corrupt
practices act.
Bishop Cannon waged an energetic!
light against the election of Alfred'
E. Smith. The court phases developed
from campaign contributions
which he received from K, C\ Jameson.
Jameson, wealthy New Yoiker,
gave Bishop Cannon'* organization
$65,300 to use against Smith. M.sk
Burroughs was the churchman's secretary
<luring the campaign and
treasurer of tin- Virginia anti-Smith
1 >emoeiatic organization.
The charge was made that the
bishop violated the federal corrupt
practices act by omitting to report
the receipt and expenditure of the'
major portion of the money to the'
clerk of the house.

Voodoo Doctor Is
Getting Business
Down below Heath Springs about
three miles Jives ajnegro voodoo doctor
who seems to be well patronised
by Lancaster colored people as well
as colored people from other parta
of the county. Selling charms to colored
people seems to be the main
occupation of this colored doctor although
Ben Harris, well-known colored
man who works for the city, and
who has one of Doctor Jackson's
charms says that bd understands
many colored people go to him to receive
medical treatment which consists
of herbs.
Ben Harris carries his charm with
him at all times for he claims that
this charm protects him from harm
and that his enemies are absolutely
thwarted by the little charm which
ho carries in his pocketbook. Ben
says he would be out of luck if he
should lose this charm which the
negro sorcerer sells for the modest
price of fifty cents.
In describing his visit to l>r. Jackson,
Ben said that when he first entered
the house the doctor brought
out a deck of cards. By looking at
certain cards it was evident to the.
doctor that' Ben Harris had certain
enemies who were blocking his path.
Different card* seemed to represent
different people and a slight description
of the people who were crossing
Ren's path was given. To overcome
the evil -that these colored .people
were to bring Harris a charm was
needed and fifty cents was all that
was the cost. Ben's credit was good
with the doctor so that he got the
charm with a promise to pay in the
near future.
Ben say that he has not paid for
the charm as yet but that he will
do so in the near future because of
the facto that the charm is likely to
bring him bad luck instead Of good
luck if he does n<U pay for it.
The charm which Ben carries appears
to be a petrified arrowhead
although it may be merely a petrified
rock or some other kind of petrified
product. It is unlike most any other,
kind of an article and for this reason
appears to have supernatural power
in preventing the wearer from encountering
any kind of evil.
Patrolman Ix*o Jenkins says that
he observes many negroes travelling
down the road leading to Dr. Jackson's
house, mostly at night. It is
believed that he holds frequent seances
for the benefit of the more superstitious
of the negroes in this vicinity.
He Tias a new log house in a thinly
settled section below Heath Springs.
However, Dr. Jackson is not the
only personto- sell sarcb emblems of
luck. Chief Hughie Montgomery says
that he often finds such charms upon
negro men and women who come
before him in his official duties as
chief of police. Chief Montgomery
-recently destroyed a large batch of
voodoo charms which he had gathered
from various negroes. He says
that most of these are made by a
mixture of hair, refuse and blood and
wrapped in a cloth.
When one of these are taken from
a negro a confession of all he knows
is easily obtainable. Chief Montgomery
says. A negi*b would turn
up his own brother to get that charm
back.
The chief also has gathered a
classy collection of razors which he
has taken off of colored people. The
law against carrying revolvers is th<*
same as carrying a razor.
Chief Montgomery is probably better
informed as to negro habits and
superstitions than anyone in town.
He says that many of the negroes
bury some kind of a charm in front
of the steps to prevent evil spirits
from entering the house. The practice
of burning sulphur to keep
witches out of the house is practiced
by a few of ^the more superstitious
negroes.
Despite these primitive beliefs or
perhaps because of them the records
I of the town and county show that!
1 the negroes behave themselves bet- r
1 tor than the white people. The re- ,
'cords show that the negroes give very
'much less trouble than the whites
an<i that ..f Lite years even stealing
is nu.re prevalent among the white
race than the colored peop.e. ? I.an caster
