The depiMiment of agriculture at
Washington Is sending out warnings
to the farmers in th# cotton belt,
cautioning H em against the spread of
the boll weevil. It is slso advising
them through field agents how to de
stroy and prevent the spread of the
insect. “Destroy the cotton stalk ear
ly in October, if possible,’’ advises the
department. “Destroy your stalks
even if your less progressive neigh
bor doe* not. It will pay. Clear off
and burn all your rubbish on ditch
banka and other hibernating places
for the weevil. This should be done
early ia the fall.
“Do not plant cotton after cotton
but plant your cotton on land that
has grown a heavy crop of cowpeas,
velvet beans, lespedeza or aome other
leguminous crop to supply th# lend
with nitrogen and vegetable matter.
Break th# land in the fall or early

Wednesday’s testimony marked the
opening of the actual trial of William
Sulzer, the impeached executive of
New York, which until noon Wedng$-
day had been delayed by arguments
of objections of counsel for the de
fense. At that hour all olrstacles to
the taking of testimony had been
swept aside by vote of the court,
tkereby permitting Eugene Lamb
Richards of counsel for the managers
of th# impeachment to outline the
evidence against the governor. This
opened the cast. The last of these
obstacles—the motion of the defence
to quash the three articles of the

(\>n graft* man I>eclare# That the
Mayor is Actuated by Personal
Hostility to Him and His.
When Mr. Whaley was asked about
the petition filed by Mayor J. P. Grace
he characterized the allegations as a
tissue of lies from beginning to end,
says the Washington correspondent
of The News and Courier. Mr. Whal
ey then made the following state
ment:
“The people of South Carolina and
the city of Charleston know this to
be a fact, if for no other reason, tht^l
that the allegations are fathered by
Mayor Grace, whose reputation as a
character thief, and whose vile oppo
sition tu me, politically and personal
ly, is well known to the people of the
State ana district.
"The man w horn I defeated for the
non,ination, Mr. Hughes, has made no
pimte t. ah hough he could have made
such a protest to the State board of
canvassers, and the House of Repre
sentatives in the proper way. If he is
complaining, hie complaint has not
been made known, and 1 take it that
he, the real man in interest, vjho nat
urally knew best the situation, has
acquiesced in my nomination and
ehnion, (thcru.se he would ho the
cut' :ant in this matter.

“I will most assuredly be In th®
race for governor and will make an
unrelenting campaign,’’ said Dr. John
G. Cllnkscales, of Wofford college,
Wednesday to a Spartanburg Herald
reported. “Alto, you might say I
will be the next governor of th®
State.” Rumers have been prevalent
throughout the State for several
months that Dr. Cllnkscales would
not be In the race; that he intended
to withdraw. He kills this rumor
with the foregoing statement. It
was said that he would be physically
unable to make the campaign be
cause of ill health. Dr. Clinkscalea
stated that he had been campaigning
for the past fourteen years flgr Wof
ford college and as an apostle of edu
cation and that “a little thing” like
a canvas for gubernatorial honors
would not deter him.
Dr. Clinkecales said because he
had indiscreetly exposed himself in
all kinds of inclement weather thia
summer in making his educational
speeches, he had contracted a severe
cold and had to he confined to hi*
r >om for about a week. "For this

“In such elections no one need fear
the result, for the majority must

for a fair ballot and for such rules
governing elections as will be mani
festly fair to all.
“Demands for restrictions upon the
ballot in th© primary, besides those
already provided in the constitution
and rules, are overshadowed by the
more imperative demands of honesty
in the conduct of elections and the
maintenance of the integrity of a
white man’s party In South Carolina.
With the ideals of honesty realized,
and with party harmony restored,
constructive legislation, tending to
uplift all of the Interests of our State,
will become easy, and will be cheer
fully observed. In government, as In
nature, evolution does not proceed by
leaps.
“At the proper time I shall an
nounce my platform and shall en
deavor to show In detail the princi
ples for which I stand and the poli
cies which I think should be pursued
n order that South Carolina, in all
respects, may keep abreast with the
wonderful progress of the other

a design on the part of the respon

and conceal others. I can see that
the failure to report one might have
been an accident; two a coincidence,
but to fall to account for a bun ired
is a crime.’’

the facts, realize that they are inspir

Seer Hair, a young negro twenty-
one years old, was shot through tfe©
right lung and dangerously wounded
by a parlor rifle In the hands of Lon
nie Powers, an eleven-year-old white
boy, Wednesday about one o’clock, at
the corner of Divine and Assembly-
streets, Columbia. Hair was rushed
to the Good Samaritan hospital,
where examination showed his
wounds to be dangerous, the outcome
of which can not be told at this time.
The bullet entered his right side
just below the ribs and ranging up
ward, passed through his right lung,
lodging in the left side just belcw the
heart.
Young Powers stated that he was
playing with the gun and didn’t know
it was loaded when he pointed it at
Hair and told him to stand still a
minute. For one so young, ho kept
his composure remarkably well under
the rircum?tances, but appeared very
solicitous for the welfare of the vic
tim of his childish prank.
The white boy is being detained fct
police headquarters for the present,
pending the result of the
wounds.
