G. Yarn on Thursday. There were about fifteen hundred people present and a {post pleasant and quiet day 'was apect. As has always been the custom at these picni^a there were a ndhiber of prominent speakers present who addressed the farmers on various subjects. Mostly agricultural ques tions and others which more or less affected the interests of the farm ers. o G. M. Anderson, who is in charge of the Clemson College Coast'Insect Laboratory at Walterboro, and who' has devoted a great part of his time' to the study of the wire worm* made a very interesting address on the wifV Worm. He ‘•gave the life his- tory x A* worked out by Mr. Eager- ton who was in this section for sorfft* years. He also touched upon tho most successful methods of fighting the worm, stating that there had as yet been nothing found that would 'finally exterminate the insect. He, however, recommended the rotation of crops and the' planting of such cover crops as oats, and planting corn after the oats are taken He stated that the Hit if aisila* the land, while it miyht serve’Wo cherV the ‘worm to some extent would not <1q so a , effectively as would the" cover ric/ps which woeM give the. additional as a grain crop. Prof. Con-.adi, state entomologist, was also present and gave rffT^re^ting add res son insects in general. II ■ took up some of the most cojimion pests that Jr.f» st the furniingV section of lower. South Carolina, and. telling of their-life history, ’told of the r inahy ways' in w hie hthey might be destroyed or ti e damage done by them les.sened. He also stressed the need of the farmer being* open minded ami rea- dV to receive instruction and help that the state gives. Also the need of the farmer learning to diversify his crop, studying his own farm, to know just what plants he can best grow in his soil. He Called atten tion to the fact that, the farmers were the most wasetful men on the face of the earth, because they fai}- ed to work to an advantage by planting those crops which will bring the greatest oney yield per acre. Mr. Conradi mentioned the fact that the farmers of this section ot the state wil lin five pr six years have the boll weevil to contend win and warned them that If they would survve the pest they must prepare to withstand by plawuna other crops which the weevil does not affect. After dinner was served the crowd again assembled and called for the candidates who were pres ent to fire their-guns in salue to the farmers. Quite a number accepted the invitation and were introduc'd- to the people, making brief, but good addresses and in some in stances stating some of the things they intended doing when they got into office.^ Of course the ywere all to be Tor the dear farmers. Among those who spoke were. Senator J. P- Ackerman, Col. J. G. Padgett, N. Rosser Smith, D. L. v Sniith and a. t ' Padgett.

Mr. Moore reported Mr. Yarn to the court for interfering with the grand jury. /Mr. V*gn claims that Mr. Moore allowed Mr. Padgett to appear be fore the grand jury and testify In his own behalf, i whico. according to Mr. Yarn’s view, tended to show that Mr. Moore was aiding Mr. Padgett. „ Mr. Varn did not criticise awr member of the grand' /ury except. Mr. Moore. The presiding judge, Mr. Mem- inger. held that technically no man had the right to speak to a grand juror as Mr. Varn did, and that while he knew Mr. Varn meant no harm and had committed no crime, yet he would put upon him the nominal lino of ten dollars, which Mr. Yarn promptlyc-pald.
