) ILLINOIS CENTRAL RECOVERING. Harriman Road Orders $1,000,000 Worth of Freight Cars. New Orleans, Oct. 6.?Announcement that $1,000,000 worth of freight cars have been ordered by the Illinois Central Railroad for delivery after December 1 next was made here to-day by President J. T. Harahan, of that road. "This," said Mr. Harahan, "shows what w-e think of the prospects for a revival of business.' Mr. Harahan added that lumber, coal and cotton shipments on his road are now greater than at the corresponding period last year and that manufactured articles are the only class of shipments still considerably under normal. Farm Pests that Require Foresight for Their Control. Upon taking charge of the Division of Entomology at the State Experiment Station at Clemson the , writer desires to become as familiar as possible with the insect pests that menace the agricultural crops of , South Carolina. It is the aim of this , office to be as useful as possible to the farmers, truck growers and fruit j growers all over the State. We are . - A k,r aware that the losses uccasiuacu uj ^ insect pests are enormous every year. i In order to prevent such losses it is 1 necessary for this Division and the citizens of the State, especially the agricultural workers^to come as near together and work as closely in harmony as possible. < In the regular corespondence with i farmers a large number of letters < contain complaints about serious in- i juries caused by wire worms and i white grubs. These two problems ] confront the farmer every spring and i summer. As there is no specific that i can be recommended against these i pests we must depend on general ? methods of farm (practice. A good i system of farm practice is infinitely better than all the sprays and nos- i trums so often recommended. While ] the farmer thinks ahead and plans j his course of procedure for the pur- ( pose of maintaining soil fertility or ] regaining it when lost, he rarely asks > himself the question. What course ? must I pursue to avoid insect injury 1 to the crop I am intending to plant. $ The complaints about injurious in- < * sects reach us when the injury is ac- ? tually being done and when often no ^ practical remedy or preventive can ? be recommended. f t? nrdor that this Division may be # in the best possible position to help s the farmers of the State to solve this ] and other insect problems it is necessary that the entomologist be kept i informed as to the farm operations 1 on individual farms. In order to t bring this about every farmer and i every citizen of South Carolina who ] grows plants of any kind is invited g i: . vto become a correspondent of this J Division. Every farmer is invited to t read this article and comply with the ( request of this Division, and we have j no doubt that we can be of material g service to such correspondents dur- ] ing next season in helping them to avoid losses to their crops caused by insects or other animals. Write to this Division saying you wish to belong to the special group r r- \ * of correspondents. We will then c send you blanks requesting you to x draw a sketch of your farm, orchard, x or plantation, showing what crops j are now growing and where you in- f tend to plant the next crop. We will c also send a blank circular containing t questions which we want you to an- \ swer and a circular explaining our g purposes. Only one farm sketch is x necessary and this will be carefully j : , filed at this office. On the blanks r sent you we expect to receive a re- c port of the condition of your crops I once each month. When such a re- j port reaches this office it will receive ? careful attention. Your farm sketch i mill fVion ho roforr^d tn and in this n W ill VUVU wv A VA.VA ? V\? vw j way we know what you are doing at s. given time and what you intend to do. It will enable us to warn you at the proper time against the certain farm operations that will encourage insect pests and at the end of the season we are in position to recommend what could best be done in order to eradicate white grubs, wire-worms, cutworms, chinch bugs, corn hill bugs, corn ear worms, cotton boll worms and other pests. In the case of farmers not taking advantage of this and writing to us an" other spring regarding these pests, we will be obliged to state that we are at a great disadvantage in recommending anything that is of immediate prac+'cal value. To make tbe-e ' - monthly reports requires little time on your part and the cost of sending twelve such reports a year is twentyfour cents. These monthly suggestions will be supplemented by newspaper articles and Experiment Station bulletins which will be sent to all correspondents promptly when issued. Many insects can generally be controlled by some method at any time when they occur in destructive numbers. All citizens are invited to cor- , respond with this Division when there is any trouble affecting their staple crops, orchards, or shade trees. \ By such close co-operation it will follow that we have less insect troubles in the future, with better crops and more intelligent farm practice. .

Following is what one of the Spar tanburg papers had to say the day after a big crowd was in the city: "Though yesterday was circus day , and there were many hundreds of visitors in the city, the order preserved was almost perfect. There was no drunkenness, and the officers had occasion to make but three or four arrests during the whole day." To Rebuild County Bridges. Spartanburg. Oct. 6.?To replace bridges washed away bv the recent flood and to meet outstanding indebtedness Spartanburg county has to have $150,000. This was determined at a meeting of the county delegation held to-day. A resolution was passed by the body pledging its members to support a bill in the next session of the legislature authorizing a bond issue for this amount, unless the funds can be secured on long time loans. MAN TRIED FOR ASSAULT. Pretty Fifteen-Year-Old North Carolina Girl Alleged Victim. Charlotte. N. C., Oct. 7.?Wes Ayres, a young man, charged with criminally assaulting pretty 15-yearold Maud Bess, of Statesville, N. C., has been placed on trial here. According to the story the girl met; Ayres at a picnic at Cornelius, N. C.,j and consented to go driving. After J they had gone some distance the girl! testified that Ayres drove by a by- i way into the woods, where he as-; saulted her. She says he paid no heed to herj protests when he left the main highway, and only promised to take her back when she swore she would not tell. On arriving home, she ran into the house, threw herself on the bed and burst into tears. To her mother she told her story. During the testimony of the girl and the girl's mother the courtroom was cleared. Late yesterday evening Ayres was called to the stand and denied the assault charge. The Hnp-nn of attorneys on both sides represents the best of the city, and the case is being warmly contended on both sides. It is probable a verdict will be reached some time to-day. A Young Man and His' Mother. A young man, a graduate of one of iur leading universities, put an end to his life last Tuesday in a Philalelphia lodging house. He had no noney and was out of work. A letter 'ound beside his body, addressed to lis mother, begged her forgiveness md God's for a wasted life. The lews dispatch laconically says, "His xiother was informed of his death md is expected from New York to- , light." Instead of writing that letter to his ; nother and giving his wrecked life ! jack to the mercy of God, that roung. man should have prayed to ; jod and gone home to his mother. ! tie may have had no money and no vork?he had his mother. As long 1 ts he had her he had incalculable ! iches. He may have drifted, va- < jrant and derelict, down to the gates ' >f hell; her mother-love would follow ! ifter him and find him there.

Philadelphia Ledger. I : Six Million Words. Including the exhibits the printed ecord in the government's suit to lissolve the Standard Oil Company mder the Sherman law contains learly 6,000,000 words; and the takng of testimony is likely to continue or many months, so that it would be luite safe to predict that the case for he plaintiff will be prodigiously >ulky. Indeed, it is already a prpdi,ry in bulk. Up to a few days ago, vhen the hearings were shifted from stew York to Chicago, the oral testinody of witnesses examined covered 1,700 typewritten pages, averaging . !00 words to the page. That makes i 1 ?1 ^ AAA rrr/M*^fi TViavYiihito nnvpr i,Oi V,VUV nviUOl A.UV vauamaww Wf V. ,000 pages of 500 words each, makng a grand total of 5,810,000 words. The record is bound in 12 heavy volimes. If the record were printed in l line as on a stock ticker the tape vould be 100 miles long, and if all he words were uttered simultaneousy in an ordinary tone of voice the oar would be as that of 60,000 lions. In the output of words the adninistration of President Roosevelt lever had its equal. Never have >residential messages been so fre[uent nor so voluminous; never heore have the people been so vocifsrously preached at and never has rust-busting proceeded so uproari>usly and produced so little result. Accomplishment has been in inverse atio to the verbosity of the promises hereof. A case which needs to be iupported by 6,000,000 or morewords >f testimony is foredoomed to failure. Solubility is the refuge of a bad lawyer, and one is justified in the opinion hat the voluminousness of the govirnment's case against the oil trust vill be effective only in diluting the mmunity bath which it will get.

LUTHERAN SYNOI) AT SAVANNAH Question of Removing Seminary from Mount Pleasant Puzzling. Savannah, Ga., Oct. 8.?The ques- i tion of the removal of the Theologi- I jal Seminary at Mount Pleasant is - x *-x X* L.a xo_ ^ ine most mieresung one ueiore uie United Synod of the Lutheran Church the South convening here. Vir- j ginia, Columbia, Charleston and Atlanta, all have been mentioned, and there will probably be a fight to-day before the location is finally selected. All efforts to reach a conclusion today failed. A cablegram was sent to-day to Dr. and Mrs. E. K. Lippard, missionaries in Saga, Korea, directing them to begin at once to erect a kindergarten school. After a long discussion onj missions, the Women's Missionary! Conference adjourned to-night. Women Have Personal Encounter. ? Spartanburg. Oct. 8.?A ripple of excitement was created here to-day by a personal encounter between two ladies over a bit of china, offered at a bargain sale in one of the local stores. It was really a lively mix-up from all accounts. The choice piece of earthenware was smashed up and there was consternation for a time among the hundreds of ladies attending the sale. PEACE-MAKER KILLED. Man Who Tries to Stop Fight Between Wrestlers Slain. Coldwater, Miss., Oct. 6.?In a duel with knives at Wakefield, Miss., to-day Manning Jamison, aged thirty years, was killed and his brother, Edwin Jamison, aged 22, was dangerously wounded. Edwin Jamison and Will Kountz, according to information received here, were engaged in a wrestling bout, and a fight was about to start when Manning Jamison interfered, acting as a peace-maker. This angered Edwin Jamison and he drew a knife. Manning whipped out his knife and the two fought until both dropped to the ground. Manning died in a few minutes. Saluda Oil Mill Burned. Saluda, Oct. 7.?About 2 o'clock this morning the Saluda oil mill and ginnery was destroyed by fire, entailing a total loss of all except the small office building and the seed house and contents. The plant was the property of Hon. B. W. Crouch, * ' - a -i SMet ? who hougnt it at a recent snenu s sale. He had put it in fine order and was entering upon what promised to be a successful season. All indications so far point to incendiarism. Mr. Crouch's investment represented an outlay of over $16,000. With only about $6,700 insurance on the part destroyed, the loss falls heavily on him and it is a distinct loss to the business of the town. There is little probability of rebuilding.

Mack, chairman of the Democratic national 'ocimittee, made known to-i night the n asons upon which he! bases his i rediction that New York I State may safely be regarded as Dem-j ocratic this year. Mr. Mack's state-j ment regarding the situation in the: Empire State is as follows: "The Democratic party in New! York was never more united, noti even in 1892, than it is this year.: The State is never doubtful when the! Democrats stand together. Withaug-j mented party we find our opponents all shot to pieces; some Republicans are opposing Roosevelt, others are ' against Hughes, while another faction are set against Taft. As an instance of the union of the Democratic forces, the National Democratic Club, of New York city, composed of 1,400 members, made up of bankers, merchants, and professional men, opposed Bryan almost to a man in ion/? ?a innn T f^i/1 +Via+ Q JL O J7 U ttliU 1?7UV. x aui i>viu tuut *j %j per cent, of the club's membership is ready to support Mr. Bryan this year, and the club recently passed resolutions endorsing him and have contributed $2,500 with a promise to contribute a like amount later. : With this situation I feel that New York is not only safe for Bryan, But there will be a Democratic landslide." Tragedy in Pennsylvania. Philadelphia, Oct. 6.?Capt. J. Clayton Erb, of the 3rd regiment. National Guard of Pennsylvania, and formerly actuary for Israel W. Durham, when he was State insurance commissioner, was shot and killed in a family quarrel at his home, Red Gables, in Village Green, Delaware county, to-night. The shooting came as the climax of a series of domestic troubles, which Mr. Erb has recently experienced with his wife. Shot by Burglar. Waycross, Ga., Oct. 7.?A. H. O'Neal, night operator at Nahunta, on the A. C. L., was assassinated this morning by robbers, who rifled the cash drawer. It is supposed the tragedy occurred about 2 o'clock but it was first discovered when the crew ; of a train entered the office at 5. a. m. and found O'Neal dying with two bullets in the head. SherifT Tuten, with his blood* 1 ? ?*ViA nnAMA on/1 nounas, ims guue tu mc o^uc ?uu the police authorities in the neighboring towns have been notified. O'Neal was a youth, unmarried, and his home is said to have been at Ludowici, Ga. ft Must Pay License. Atlanta, Oct. 6.?Judge Ellis in the superior court to-day denied the application of E. H. Carrell and 114 other "near beer" manufacturers, dealers and agents, for an injunction restraining the levy of a special tax provided for by the recent session of the legislature. ? The dealers sought to enjoin the . collection of the tax of $500 imposed upon the manufacturers and $200 imposed upon retailers of "near beer" on the ground that the act was unconstitutional. Notice of appeal was immediately filed by attorneys for petitioners. The San Jose Scale in South Carolina. The San Jose (San Hozay) scale is the most pernicious insect pest of fruit and shade trees in South Carolina. In some sections the owners of trees are cutting them down owing . to the presence of this insect. The Division of Entomology of the South Carolina Experiment Station has repeatedly emphasized the fact in the press that there is no necessity for cutting down or otherwise destroying a tree merely because it is infest- : ed with San Jose scale unless the tree is so far gone that it has not enough vitality left to recover after the scale is killed. Although one of the worst insects in America, it has been demonstrated over and over and over again that the pest can be successfully and economically controlled. Fruit growers all over the United States who are troubled with this pest are controlling it by the sprays devised for that purpose. All citizens of South Carolina who have trees dying, or who know that their trees are infested with scale, or who have trees in an unthrifty condition, are invited to write to the Division of Entomology, South Carolina Experiment Station, Clemson College, S. C. Information is cheerfully given and no postage is required to insure a reply. AFTER UNCLE JOE'S SCALP. Fifty Labor Speakers to Invade Can non's District Against Him. Chicago, Oct. 8.?Labor is prepar ing a final and determined onslaught ^ on the candidacy of Speaker Jos. G. Cannon. The political action committee of the Chicago Federation of Labor yesterday made plans to send a number of labor leaders into "Uncle Joe's" district next week. During the last three weeks of the i campaign there will be nearly fifty labor speakers in Danville, Kankakee and vicinity. Two organizers for the American Federation are in the district now making speeches for the Democratic candidate for Speaker Cannon's seat in the House of Representatives. Among those to be sent by the Chicago Federation of Labor will be Secretary E. N. Nocklesj and John C. Harding, secretary of the Typographical Union. Killed by Demented Preacher. Athens, Ala., Oct. 9.?News has. just reached here of the killing late! yesterday of Andrew Jackson, living! near the Lauderdale county line, by a preacher named Livingston. Thei men are said to have disliked eachj other for a long time and when they met yesterday Livingston fired on Jackson. Livingston was later caught wandering about the woods barefooted and clad only in his under garments. Later in the night he made his escape. It is thought that his mind is unbalanced.
