S CONDE | LEXINGTON COURT MUCH WORK WAS DONE j WITHIN A SHORT TIMEIMPORTANT CASES TRIED BATESBURG WELL REPRESENTED. The court of General Sessions for Lexington county convened Mon( day a. m. The charge of Judge i l'lincc was masterly and exhaustive. ? The duties of a grand juror was ' made so plain .hat a wayfarer could no. err therein and crime in n'l its phases was laid bare and protection for life and property and strict construction of the law was made clear' ly manifest by this learned Judge. Numerous bills was handed grand I jury by Solicitor Timmerman and 1 they went to work with a full house | and hand. The first case was one | for obtaining goods under false pretenses. Mr. J. B. Holman our towns| man was foreman of the panel and the prisoner was convicted and sen' fenced to pay a fine of fifty dollars. The second case was for assault 1 and battery of a high and aggravated nature between a number of negroes near Swansea. This case was ? fought with great determination by I P J Youmar.s. Ksq u; Columbia and . Solicitor Timmerman prosecuted with his accustomed vigor. The :> jury whose foreman was also our I tow. sman. Mr. J. M. Mnlpass acquitted the prisoner. 1 he third case was one for arson II against a New Brookland negro named Gadsden. Barrett Jones, 1 tesq, of our local bar was appointed ' by the court to defend the prisoner ; and Mr. Jones discharged the duty with singular ability. His speech to the jury was a pathetic appeal and \\n l io nKf rrvmt^li m?nt<w 1 '.11 S V.icitor Timmerman one of us, .udycted the prosegutjpja wdh his, ; ability, and the peculiar featuie ,.a the s'ar witness, a negro who w both de* and dumb. The jud e could not find one in the audic:. e who k?.ew the deaf and i b a!; habet, but his evidence lit*! by ii'.tle was secured and was telling on the culprit, The jury v 1.1 h also uas presided over by one of our ' i vnsmen, J. Belton Miller, convicte t the negro and he was sentenced to ten years in the peniten, tiary. Some sensational features was adduced before the grand jurv in j one special case and after one days > deliberation they returned their bills i and no one being ready tor tritd .Indue Prince adjoined the court at noon Wednesday.

Boatwright, Directors. pest will, beyond a shadow of a doubt, eventually overrun the entire field. in practically every case thus far investigated the spider entered the : ield at a point nearest to a nearby house yard in which grew violets and other ornamental flowers and their origin could be quite easily traced to tire letter. When the violets became overwhelmed, wilted and r.eaily dead the pest transferred to other plants closeby such as sunflower, dahlia, hydrangea, rose, oke weed and several kinds of garden vegetables. In all, the red spider has been seen and collected on 1 -r i different sorts of flowers, shrubs and weeds up to the present date. Of all these 41 varieties of hosts one above all others seems to set the "best table", the cultivated vioi lot and the guest only leaves her | hospitality when her cupboard is bared. The others of these plants fail prey s'mply because they stand in the wa> of the onrushing herd of devastators. At present, then, the most practical preventative measuTc is to os tracse the innocent viokt from the society of the front yard. On the other hand, the most desirable remedial measures seem, at present, to consist t at the time of first attack in pulling up and destroying the few infested cotton plants, or, if it has gone too frr for this to be practical, then to apply one of the sprays suitable for this pest, either dry sulphur an.1 lime, boiled lime, sulphur solution, or some other one ; of the reliable contact insecticides. i1 "Come into my parlor," said the s1 spider to the fly. "No thank you" said the latter, ' I do not care to die," "I know not what you'd fain e pretend." Ked Spider spake with s fright. "You'll know when the farmer tumbles," said fly. "Yoirsure will e be a sight."
