Blease Doubts the Truthfulness ^ ?* ?enatt>r 7^mazi* The Spartanburg Herald says surrounded by a constantly augmented grj throng of admirers at the Argyle hotel Friday night, Gov. Cole L. Blease freely expressed his views on different subjects to a reporter for the Herald and disclosed something fcv of his plans. He made it plain that notwithstanding Senator B. R. Tillman's denial, he believed there was truth in Bfe the story published by W. T. Crews, f editor of the Greenwood News-Scimitar, to the effect that Senator Tillman and Maj. John G. Richards, Jr., had plotted to bring out Chief Justice Ira B. Jones, of the supreme court, as a candidate to defeat him for governor. He said he believed the program had been to elect Maj. Richards lieutenant governor. Then, if Senator Tillman was compelled for any reason to give up his seat in the senate, Justice Jones would take his place and Maj. Richards would step into the governor's chair. Expects to Beat Jones. "I am going to be reelected," said Gov. Blease, when asked if lie would say anything concerning politics. |||. "I will beat Jones by a bigger majority than the one by which I defeated Featherstone, and if Tillman's .Vman Richards is a candidate I will beat them both." Another interesting statement of the governor was that he intended to remedy conditions at the hosiery mill of the State penitentiary through legislation to be enacted by the gen ? 1 i+n ftT\n?AQnV?incy COO? I era.1 iA&beixiui v at its aj/tiiua^uiug ovaISp. sion. Bristling up at the suggestion that the legislature might not be amenable to his wishes, he said: "They better had. That's all I have to say." Continuing, Gov. Blease said "that j . little grand jury" in Richland coun-1 *tr tt-Vi^rvVi frninri fhc. hnciorv mill to LJ , nUiV/U lwu**u buv Bp? . be sanitary, had set itself against some of the best physicians in the State. He mentioned physicians who he said, declared the hosiery mill was a disease breeder, and said he was marshalling his facts for sub-1 mission to the legislature. It was foolish the governor said, for laymen to set themselves against experts. For instance, he said, the floors and walls and ceiling of the j Argyle hotel seemed to be clean andj M i STARTED IT JV few more $10.0 I Men's and Boy dies' Suits way I Shoes must m< j: > m ?

But suppose, he suggested that expert physicians should say that the walls pud ceiling were infested with disease germs; would a reasonable laymen attempt to contradict them? This, he said, was the case with the hosiery mill. Speaking of legislation which he would recommend to the general assembly, Gov. Blease said he would try to obtain the passage of a law establishing two cents a mile as a flat rate for passenger transportation on the steam railroads of the State. This, he said, would obviate the mileage nuisance and make it possible for poor people to travel short distances as cheap as wealthy people. Under the law he proposes, he said, a passenger who was traveling ten miles could buy a ticket for 20 cents, or give tne conductor zu cents or give the conductor ten miles of mileage, as was most convenient. If the railroad people did not trust their conductors, he asserted, they ought to discharge them and get men whom they could trust; and if ^he were a conductor and his employers did not trust him he would quit his position. # The governor said he would also recommend to the legislature all the measures he recommended before which were not passed. Bankers Assisting Farmers. Manning, Oct 15.?In response to the call for all persons interested in the holding, warehousing and financing of cotton crop to meet in the court house yesterday there was a goodly attendance. Mr. C. Allen McFaddin was called to the chair and Mr. A. I. Barron chosen as secretary. A communication from the I four hanks in Manning was read, offering to lend money on cotton stored in the Manning cotton warehouse at the rate of six per cent discount, until the first day of February, but if | the borrower wishes to carry his loan | longer it shall be at the rate of 8 per cent, per annum. On motion the secretary was instructed to write each of the banks a letter expressing the thanks of the meeting for the offer to aid the farmers at such a reasonable rate of interest, and it was further agreed that I +V./-V fnvmors V> v r n TV Q<a litt.lp .&R they cue laiui^io wvi i v ?Ak/ ? possibly can. A committee of three from each township was appointed to ascertain how much cotton will be held and report back to the president of the Farmers' Union, he to report to the banks. ov rn K/irwrr ti i vj mv; yl i j 1UST 0 Rain Coats at s' Clothing grea below market jve far below v; d Wraps must and Wraps at 1 *1 W les, and fcxtra \ 1MBER A. ^ A. Section Master Killed by Negro. Word was received in Hampton on Monday morning of the death of Mr. Harry J. Joiner, section master at Garnett, on the Seaboard Air Line Railway, having been killed by a negro. Information as to details was hard to get, and it was not until lirnJ?afl/)aTT nffararinn Q f OTIvfTliTID' vv cuacouaj ai^iuwu uu; vuauq could be found out. Joiner was shot by a negro named Wash Edwards at about 9 o'clock Sunday night and was carried to Savannah at 5 o'clock Monday morning, in the hope that an operation would save his life, but efforts were fruitless and he died at 8 o'clock the same morning. The remains were taken to Olar, S. C., for burial and were accompanied by his widow, Mrs. Hattie Joiner. The most reliable information as to just how the killing occurred is that Joiner accompanied Mr. J. G. McKenzie, a merchant at Garnett, out in the country, and that they had both been drinking. Wash Edwards, the negro, asked tnem ior a nae when they were going back toward home. Joiner and the negro began quarrelling and Joiner made the negro get out of the buggy, at the same time shooting him and inflicting a slight flesh wound on right side. The negro afterward was allowed to get back in the buggy and peace was made between him and Tnincr After riding a couple of miles to near the Guss Jones old place, It is said that Edwards in some way got hold of Joiner's pistol and shot him four times in the stomach. a Deputy Sheriff J. Herman Lightsey and Chief G. W. Fennell, left here in the automobile of Mr. Reuben Williams, of Fairfax, Tuesday afternoon and made a trip of 102 miles in chase of the negro, but it is thought he escaped into Georgia immediately after the killing, and after a hunt of 48 hours the officers gave up the hunt and returned home.?Hampton Review. Claude Melton, of Spartanburg, who has a number of friends in Charleston, was at the St. John yesterday. Mr. Melton has given up commercial traveling for the present and goes up to Lodge, S. C., to take charge of the graded school at that place. He is here at present to meet the teachers who are on their way to Lodge. One of them, Miss Oaks, of Darlington, arrived at the St. John Saturday night.?Charleston News and Courier.

RICE H nirr i lUV^L, I Cotton Caterpillar Remedies. Reports from various sections ol the State indicate that the ravages of the cotton caterpillar are decidedly general. The old cotton has suffered relatively little from its attacks, it appears from the reports ir many instances that the late cotton has suffered rather considerable damage. In its feeding, the caterpillar eats preferably the young leaves, buds, and squares of the cotton. The eggs are laid on the under side of the leaves of the cotton, usually on the larger and lower leaves. These hatch out into the striped caterpillars seen so abundantly, and becoming full grown, "web up," forming a chrysalis oj* cocoon from which emerges an olive to clay-yellow colored moth about 1 % inches from tip to tip of wings, with a leaden colored spot on each fore wing. The eggs which are overtaken by frost perish and hence we find that the bulk of these forms pass the winter in the chrysalis or pupal stage. Fall plowing of affected areas will be oi great destructive damage to the wintering forms. The best remedial measure is the application of Paris green at the rate of 2% pounds per acre applied in the dry form in the early morning when the foliage is moist. A one inch board, about 8 inches in width, about 6 inches wider on each end than the width of the cotton row, and trimmed in the middle so as to make it easily handled before a man om a mule is the chief piece of apparatus needed. A one or two inch auger hole should be bored in either end so as to fit the rows, and under these should be tacked an 8 ounce Vin o- TV>o Paria *r.r<=^ATi ran thfin UUV/IV X uv X o* . -? be poured into these bags, and the opening closed. If Intelligent labor is used, by experimenting, a jolt on the board can be determined sufficiently strong to put out the required 2 to 2^ pounds to the acre. Should this not be the case, it would be better to use cheese-cloth bags and dilute the Paris green to about 10 times its volume with land plaster, flour, or air slacked lime. The caterpillars taking this substance into their digestive tracts are poisoned by the arsenic contained in it, and death follows as the result. Paris green may be obtained from almost any drug store at about twenty-five cents (25c.) per pound. W. P. GEE, Ass't.
