As the ravages of the Hessian fly or grain louse were so bad in this section, J. P. Matheuy, Esq., wrote to Clemson College for information, and the following is the reply of the Eutomologist: Clemson College, S. C., March 1G, 1903. Mr. J. P. Matheuy, Bamberg, S. C. Dear Sir.?Yours of the 14th iust., addressed to the Experiment Station relative to the work of a small insect upon oats has been referred to me. From specimens received from correspondents in Bamberg and adjoining counties, you must be suffering like them from the ravages of the grain louse. This insect obtains its food by inserting a pointed beak into the leaf or stem and sucking out the sap, which causes the grain to shrivel. I don't feel as though I can recommend at this season of the year any practical remedy although it has' been demonstrated by experiment that on very young wheat and oats, it is possible to keep them within bouuds by spraying with a strong decoction of tobacco or by the use of kerosene emulsion. Fortunately in nearly every instance when the insect is abundant it is greatly reduced in numbers by the work of parasites which do their work so effectualhthat if the outbreak is not entirely checked it will seldom be repeated the following year. During the outbreak of this insect, oats land should be avoided in planting fall wheat and all volunteer oats should be carefully destroyed. V,>?rc trnlir PlUS. F. ChAMBI.ISS.

For the last ten days battles have been waged, some of which were won, others lost. The great mental strain is over and now the reaction has set in. The desire for merriment and for fun has seized upon every one. What eould be more natural at this season of the year than for base ball to be chosen as the means for recreating ourselves? Nothing we are sure. And now with vim and | determination the men who are desirous for the honor of representing Wofford on the diamond are working. From upwards of thirty candidates the number has dwindled down to fifteen. Those who survive will be the fittest, and those who will be the fittest will be worthy an-; tagouists for any opponents who will con- j test for honors on the diamond this season. The 'Varsity players have been virtually decided upon, it only remains for the "subs" to be chosen. In a little less than two weeks our first game will be played when King's Mountain will meet tier "Waterloo." This game has been taken on as a practice game and of course it will be pretty much of a "snap." For the past few evenings the members of the "rooting" club have met on the college steps, preparing the song? and yells which are to encourage the old gold and black on to victory and some ed and heart-broken team from Mr. E. K. Hardin has been elected in Chief" and when "Big Ed" (as he is known here) gives the signal for a yell there is "something doing j" from every direction come the worshippers of Wofford's banner, and the sound of a yell or the melody of some Wofford song which follows is enough to thrill the heart of - ?">? .\iio u-hn mop hp ripvnid auyuuu, c> ru iuai um .1 j ? ? of enthusiasm. The Calhoun Society elected the following officers last Saturday night, to serve through the months of April and May : IF. E. Brad ham, presideut; F. C. Rogers, [vice-president; G. B. Dukes, 1st critic; J. S. Bailey, 2nd critic; G. W. Vaughn, 3rd critic; S. M. Dawkins, censor moruni; J. A. Mcintosh, recording secretary; J. M. Ariail, corresponding secretary. There will be issued from the press of W. F. Barnes in a few days, a book written by Prof. J. G. Ciinkscales, of th.e chair of mathematics in Wofford college. The book deals with Wofford life during the seventies. We feel certain that the book will be one of real interest, for the personality of the author will doubtless pervade the entire story, making it one full of thought as well as of genuine humor. The Wofford College Journal for March has been issued. The"literary department consists of three essays, three poems, three stories, all of which together with the editorial, exchange, alumni, and local departments go to make the number one of the best yet gotten out by the p^esjeijt MZltl. Rev. N. L. Prince, '02, was 011 the campus a while last week. Mr. G. W. Croft, of Aiken, stopped over on the campus last Wednesday while on his way to Sewanee, Teun. Mr. A. V.

If anjr of The Herald's readers can beat that, would like to hear from them. The supper giveu l?y the Lutherans in Mr. G. L. Kinard's store last Wednesday night was a flattering success. The receipts of the evening were over $50.00. Everything passed off nicely. The Lutherans held a meeting at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Ehrhardt last Friday evening, at which the new Lutheran * church council was elected, which is as follows: Hon. C. Ehrhardt, Mr. C. Hartz -Elders; Messrs. Jacob Ehrhardt and S.St'. Copeland, Deacons. On a committee to draw up a constitution were appointed Rev. E. P. Munroe, Messrs. S. W. Copeland, Jacob Ehrhardt, and W. R.

All the above committees are to report on April 3rd, and the building will be immediately commenced. M rs. Henry Kirkland and little son, of Olar, are spending time with her sister, Mrs. S. W. Copeland. Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Reynolds spent Sunday with relatives in Bamberg. Miss Maud Copeland, of the Clear Pond section, is visiting Mrs. J. L. Copeland. At Reynolds's drug store you can see a wild cat, fox, raccoon, a four legged chicken, and a weasel. The weasel has just been added to his collection this week. Air. B. B.

At a meeting of the Bamberg Guards on Tuesday night, March 24th, it was decided to send Capt. W. R. Wright up to Columbia to make requisition for a supply of new kakbi uniforms, Krag-Jorgenson rifles and other up-to-date equipments, which, under the new law governing the militia, is being distributed among the various companies of the State. The Guards havp begqn the work of preparing for the two weeks encampment, which will very likely be held at the Isle of Palms this summer. The men are bcgjpning to realize that it will take good hard work to piake a creditable show, and they have entered upon their task with such zeal as has never before been witnessed in the history of the company. Enlistment blanks are being circulated, and members, bptJi pld and new, are being taken on for another term of two years. There is some good material in Bamberg, and in the near future we hope to have a military company of men ttjat will be second to none in^he State.

Lottie Martin, Ben Orr, Fannie Daniels, M. AJohnson, and Carrie Harrison, all negroes, were tried for the killing of young Sam Lightsey near Fairfax several months ago. All vpre acquitted except two of I the negroes, Stephen Harley jjjjd William iDaniels, who were convicted of murder with a recommendation to mercy. A motion for a new trial was made'and refused, and they were sentenced to life imprisonment at hard labor in the penitentiary. The facts of the killing are no doubt familiar to our readers. Lightsey was a young white man who mysteriously 'disappeared from home and several weeks later his dead body was found in the woods not far from his father's house. The body when found was in a good state of preservation, and it was supposed it bad never been bpri,ecjL Deiimark Doings. nrv-xri-pv March 28.?IT. 8. Zorn.

C., March 21.?Reference was made in a previous communication to Ex-Governor Zebulon B. Vance who was born near Asheville in 1830. It is said iu his younger days though not a worldian, it was his besetting sin to have fun in any vocation he might be engaged. He went out with the lamented State Geologist, Dr. Mitchell, on a geological survey in the mouutains of Western North Carolina and coming on a ruined mill house he said with some gravity: "Doctor, do you tbink that old mill house is worth a dam'{" In May 1861 he raised the second company in the Western part of the State and in the fall of the same year was elected to the coloneley of the 26th North Carolina regiment, which he commanded until August 1862, when he was elected Governor, in which position he said he felt sure he could be of more service to his great old State than being in the army and the subsequent facts proved it so. 'Tis said * - .1 3 _ * \ ances 2Utn regiment, comraanueu ai Gettysburg by Col. Harrv Burgwyn, who was killed there, suffered the greatest loss in battle ever recorded in history. One company was entirely annihilated, another had a Lieutenant left, and others came out with only three and four survivors. He was undoubtedly the greatest war governor, not excepting Governor Joe Brown of Georgia. In an address to the "Maryland Line" after the war he stated he had several blockade running steamers, one the "Advance," making 12 or 14 voyages across the "Big Pond" and the others occasional trips to Nassau and Bermuda. These steamers came laden with articles much needed, such as cotton cards, scythes, 250,000 pairs shoes, 250,000 uniforms, 12,000 overcoats, rifles, ammunition, bacon, flour, coffee and medicines. He turned over a large quantity of clothing to the Confederate government. "North Carolina put more soldiers in the field during the war according to the Confederate records than any other Southern State and kept them better shod, clothed and supplied than any others." Tennessee had a greater number of regiments?154?containing 115,000 or 120,000 men, but North Carolina had 124,000 of all arms. Her troops were, "The first at Big Bethel, the farthest to the front at Gettysburg and Chickamauga, and the last at Appomattox." What a record! Wheu President Davis bid Governor Vance farewell near Greensboro, he shook his hand warmly, saying: "God bles9 3'ou and the noble old State of North Carolina." A battalion of seventeen years old South Carolina Junior Reserves retreated ahead of Sherman into North Carolina. After Johnson's surrender quite a number of these embryo soldiers concluded to take Raleigh in their route home. Reaching the oity hungry and fatigued several of them went round to the executive mansion and asked for something to eat. The governor met them at the threshold, told them his family had left, his two cooks were almost broken down, and besides his larder was about exhausted. A tall, tallow-faced fellow replied, saying: "That's what we used to tell them Wheeler raiders down in South Carolina, but they always stayed until they got a good meal. ThP Governor s lys thpse boys got a square meal before'they left, The Governor soon left the Capital for his old home in the mountains, taking with him what was left of the war, which consisted of a "saddle-horse, a wagon and a pair of old mules" in an old freight car which had holes knocked in the side to get air Being crowded and harassed y the disbanded soldiers and seeing ft . "melish" boy climbing into one of the air-holes, he'drew his repeater and told hitp to get back; he crawled on through the aperture, dropped fnsjde on the floor, got up, looked straight at the Governor and said: "You don't look like you'd shoot." The Governor states his anger n?wwl and thft hpave. imnudent fellow r* : 'T-r ! got a ride. j (It may be that some of the South Carolina Reserves are subscribers and ' feeders of The Herald, and possibly were I in some way connected with the incidents related in the two foregoing paragraphs, as a company in that battalion was made up in old Barnwell county.) Shortly after the war Governor Vance went tp fjgliyej- $ lecture before a body of students in a "law college in Washington, D. C., and having to go on horseback told them that he had a law book in one end of his saddle-bags and 'twas none of their business what was in the ptbpr endr Thje "brought down the house," and his address was attentively listened to to the close. General Hampton relates that years ago while Senator Vance was traveling in the far West he met a westerner of popvivjal habits, and after they had conversed on various topics for sometime, the fellow said to Vance: "As the Governor of North Carolina said to the Governor of South Carolina, it is now time to take a drink," not knowing that he was addressing the very governor to whom the expression had been attributed. They sfcQQk hands, foojc a drink and parted? forever. The maxim, "a prophet is not without honor save in his own country" does not hold good in the case of Vance, for he was greatly beloved by the people of his native State, and until this day every oijp has a good word for ?eb Vance whenever his name is mentioned. S. 0. Journer. Conrt in Barnwell. Barnwell, March 19.?The Bobbins tragedy- in wjiich Qeprge D. Kirkland killed Fletcher Bennett, and in which the three Dunbars were also killed, was commenced Tuesday. Two days were spent in the trial. Feeling was high. The best legal talent was obtained. The solicitor, assisted by Col. Robert Aldrich and R. C. Holman, Esq., appeared for the State and most vigorous was the prosecution. G. Duncan Bellinger, Esq., D. S. Hendprspu, Bsq., and ft 4- Ellis, Esq., aud 4. D- Best, I)sq., appeared fur the defense and so conclusively did they present it, that iu less than twenty minutes a verdict of "not guilty" was returned by the jury. Forceful, able and beyopd compare were the speeches made in' the cause, tepupng with strong presentation, argument "most convincing, pathos aud eloquence galore. The ladies were out in great numbers, Judge Gary is a great favorite at this 4bar and among tins people and on an j sides references most pleasant are made of him. Jijdspa peek, a pegro, was to-day convicted of murder am] sentenced to hp hung ou the fourth Friday in April next. For the murder of Sam Lightsey six negroes were put ou trial for their lives Monday, resulting in a verdict of "guilty" as to two of them with a recommendation to mercy, while the other four were found "not guilty." Confessions were principally relied op by the State to prove the guilt of the defendants. One pf the wif pesses testified that a rope had been filaped around the neck of one of the deenilauta go as to extort a full statement from him, These confessions the court excluded. Defendants being without counsel, the court asked Attorneys Best and Holman to represent them, and the zeal with which they conducted the defense deserves more than passing notice.

PAINE'S CELERY) COMPOUND I Does a Wondrous Work for a Lady Who Was Almost Crazed with Pain and Suffering. It is well known that terrible rheumatism, sciatica, and neuralgia cause more helplessness, acute suffering, and agony, than any of the other diseases that afflict humanity. The great medicinal virtues of Paine's Celery Compound make it the only trustworthy specific for the cure of all forms of rheumatism and neuralgia. Thousands of strong testimonial letters from the most prominent people of the land, prove that Paine's Celery Compound . has banished these terribly fatal troubles when all other treatment has failed. Mrs. Margaret Bethel, of Brainerd, Minn., after thirty years of agonizing tortures had a desire to end her life, if it was the will of Heaven; she almost prayed for the time to lay it down. Heaven-directed, she made use of Paine's Celery Compound, and is enjoying true life once more. She says:? "For thirty years I have been a great sufferer from neuralgia in the head, and also with rheumatism in the whole body. I began taking Paine's Celery Compound and soon found I was much better. Before taking the Compound, my life was such a burden that I almost prayed to lay it down. I was bedfast every two weeks with h rrible pain in the head, back, and neck, until I was almost crazed. I am able to do harder work and more of it today than for Twenty-five years. I am really enjoying life again, thanks to Paine's Celery Compound. I am satisfied that my life has been prolonged many years by its use." Diamond Dyes Color Anything Any Color There are many ways in which Diamond Dyes will help you.

ONE MINUTE One Minute Cough Cure gives relief In one minute, because it kills the microbe which tickles the mucous membrane, causing the cough, and at the same time clears the phlegm, draws out the inflammation and heals and soothes the affected parts. One Minute Cough Cure strengthens the lungs, wards off pneumonia and is a harmless and never failing cure in all curable cases of Coughs, Colds and Croup. Our little girl was unconscious from strangulation during a sudden and terrible attack of croup. I quickly secured a bottle of One Minute Cough Cure and gave her three doses half an hour apart. The croup was mastered and our little darling speedily recovered. I cannot praise One Minute Cough Cure too much for what it has done in o? family.?A. L. Spifford, Poetmaster, Chester, Mich.

Once he read to an audience various letters received by him during the previous week. One of these contained only the word "Fool." "Now," said Beecher, "I have known many a man to write a letter and then forget to sign it, but I never knew a man to sign a letter and then forget to write it."?Ram'a Horn. ^tl
