Th*«.*efore, someone who has had instructions should have charge of the work Id each Importrnt area In which con trol work is to be undertaken. 2. The broods otf the beetle in khe hark of tile main trunks of the medium to largejr sixetf, dying, infested trees, within an area of eight or h n square miles or more, must be deetro.qed in order to stop their depredr.tions. 3. .Itie breeds may be destroyed by one or more of the followir-g methods: The work to be done between the 1st of November and the l't of March. 1 ’iba removal .in 1 t.urnir* of the infested bark from tbe trunks of tfafe standing trees or. 2.

It is not necessary to remove or destroy the bark on the lower ^pcrtloh of the trunks or oc. the stumps if it Is not Infested with the destructive beetle, and it is not necessary to cut or treed dead trri"l freon which the beetles have emerged. f. It is necessary and essential that the broods of tho destructive beetle in the bark of any portion of the main trunks of the medium larger sized dying infested trees of r.iy giv.?t< locality should be des troyed. Cost of Control Work. g. If the wood of tho infested trees can be utilized for fuel, lum ber, or other purposes. Us value should cover the cost of the work. If the work of felling and barking the t««s is dime at direct expen ses the cost will average 10 to 30 cents per acre. h. The cost of protecting tho living timber of any community wit average infestation should not ex ceed ai^ average of from 1 to 5 ' cents per acre for the total area of pine covered land of z> commun ity, and if estimated on a basis of volume it should not cost over 2 ■cents per cord of the living timber protected. I. The best time to conduct control operations against the south ern plro bcette^ is during the pe riod between the" first of November and the first of March. J.

Keeping Sweet Potatoes. Daring Use past three years ex periments looking to the best meth od of keeping sweet potatoes hare been carried on at the experiment station b?re. A cr-refui study has been made of the rots of potatoes, and the conditions under which these roots thrive. We find that the majority of the trouble In keep- ir«? sweet potatoes comes from the presence of disease on the pot&to-s when they are brought into the brak from the field. The black, rot, and the stem rot, both of whlcl are very common threnghotft the State, are primarily field diseases.

C*a Tuesday afternoon, Nov. 21, Dave Rivers, a negro employed as fipeman at the sawmill of the Spaiv tanburg Lumber, ccmprny, better known as Lawton's mill attempted a criminal assault upon the 13-year I old daughter of a fanner liviug at>out two and a ht.lf miles from Hampton, and Just before dark shot and painfull} wounded Mr. J. Reid } Filth, general manager of iho Caro lina Telephone comprjny. . A reward of $250 has been offer-; ed by the citizens of Hampton for the capture of Dave Rivers, and to this will be added a rewr-rd of $100 by Governor ('ole L. Blease. Riv ers is a ginger-cake negro with red lips, thin face, about six feet tall, i When last seen had faded overall ■ j’.?kit, strjped trousers and pointed ' shoes with run-down heel, about; NO. 9. Carried single-barrel shot- | gun. Mr. John Reid Fitts at a late hour ThumUy, niglrt was resting well and in good ■ spirits. While same uneasinet* waa felt for him in the morning, his condition to night is most kopeful. Diligent search hak been kept up for Rivers frosn the moment no* tiflcatlon of his first crime was re ceived in Hampton, but up to the time of goitg to press he had not been apprehended. About half-past one o'clock Tuesday afternoon Rlverd went to a small store or commissary where the little girl was eJeme, at the time her parents and brother being absent from the premises, and made some small purchases, among which were cartridges for the shot gun which he curled. Seelrfc the child unprotected, the negro grabbed her by the throat, attempting to choke her" into insensibility, and tearing, her clothing almost off her. Though her throat was bruised by. brute's grasp, the victim’s screams r-nd the barking of the family dog frighten- the fiend i.*to releasing her, and he jumped into the yard and cried ‘If you tell anybody about this and they don't get me I’ll come br.-ck and kill you.” River* ran down the road to tho railroid and then proceeded down the track to where the section gang were working at Llghtsey's mill and applied to the foreman for a Job. f Being told it was too Jate in the day to commence work he said he wauld come bark next morning ar l went back up the railrord in the direction from which be came, hid ing under the lumber platform of the mill until the father of the girl, who had hurried from theTield and hastily mounted, rede by or the* railroad in search of the negro. News of the attempted rusault was teleplencd to Mr. C. S. Blocker within a few mintges of Its occurrence and, hastily notifying a few- cltizenF, he hurried to the scene in a buggy. The negro whs close presses! as he left the neig) # orheed of Lightsc-y’s mill c<: *i passed close enough to the house where .the at- •empted assault was made to be re cognized, going through the woods Into the bay in which he attempt ed to add murder to other crime. Mr. J.

In practically ev ery speech he has made he was referred to this rdleged friendship. But what has he dojre since he has been governor for the benefit of the laboring classes? A few weeks ago the governors of nearly every Southern stale met in New Orleans, La , for the pur- pose of discussing wr>}<4 and means to better the price of cotton. Th j conference lasted several days and reports were received from practic ally every cotton growing state ex cept South Caroline.. Mr. Blease was not present. He was, it is presumed, ii:> Columbia electioneer ing for that was slate fair week— the greatest electioneering week in the whole year for politicians. But that is not all.' The presi dent of the South Carolina Farm ers* Union, Mr. E. W. Dabbs last week asked the governor to issue a proclamation* calling upon the farmers of the state to'hold their cotton and also to r..sk the govern ors of other states to do likewise. This Mr. Blease f. fused positively to do. The excuse which he gave was that he wa< no faDu'r and docs not prefos to know vhet i> br<n more apt toTn* Li <ct*d Horses—Muli "• "V a Not a Case lV»r The Keesll. Gov. Blease, of South Cr-rolina, recently received a telegram from a sheriff asking aid to prevent a lynching.

It was just like Gov. Bleiv>?. But the Richmond Virginian commenting on fhis incident takes a view with which we do uc* x*oin- cide.
