Dunbarton High School’s Prize-Winning Report of Recent Trip to the Capital City weevil drinks the solution and suc cumbs to the dose. Precaution most be used not to allow too much of the soda to redeh the buds, as it will (By Lula Mae Busbee.) destroy the plant, and in order to ap ply it in a powder form it is ground, very fine, like flour, before the ap plication is made, a feed mill being rued for the grinding. »The applica tion of the soda in this manner serves a double purpose, destroys the insect, and at the same time fer tilizes the cotton crop. Mr. Price has made eight bales of cotton to the plow each year since he has been trying the experiment and does not use any calcium arsenate. H is not known whether any one else has tried Mr. Price's expert ment, but it wiH be well for others to try it on a small scale this year, and if 4t proves as effective as he has found it to be it will no tbe so difficult to overcome the ravages of the weevil. The sodg is applied late in the evening and early in the morning in order to get the benefit of the moisture in the air, as it is too dry to apply it in the middle of the day.—Sandersville Progress. ... ‘ Miss Maggie Black, of ^Hne route l, has returned from an Augusta hos pital and her many friends will be glad to know that she is able to be out again after an illness of several weeks. 20; Bennett Springa, 3; B|ackviDe, 13; Double Pond, 2; Dunbarton, 0; Elko, 6; Four Mile, 3; Friendship, S; Great Cypress, J>; KeaHng Springs, 2; Her cules, 6; Hilda, 4; Red Oak, 2; Reedy Branch, 3; Rosemary, 4; Siloam, 3; and Wiliiaton, 17. ftDGAR A.

State of South Carolina, ■ County of BaraweH, THE STATE — ;* r DAVID WILLIAMS •v A bout five Weeks ago Col . Ed gar A. Brown, Speaker of the House of Representatives, invited the senior classes of the four High Schools in Barnwell County—Barnwell, Black- ville, Dunbarton and WUliston—to Columbia as his guests on an inspec tion and observation tour of the Capi tal of our State. The trip was very interesting as only two members of our clasa had ever visited Columbia. March 11th was set as the eventful day. • Plans had been made to leave at eight o'clock. The day did not prom ise to be very enjoyable because of the heavy downpour of rain which was still fast falling from the night before. We left, however, at eight fifteen in spite of the inclement weather, and found the roads so slip pery that ore of our cars slid into a ditch and had to be pushed out W T e amrived at the State House about eleven-thirty o’clock. We were first taken to the House of Representative*. There Col Brown, Speaker of the House, was presiding. They were voting on a , bkU when we went in, and after lis tening to the voting, we were taken to the Senate Chamber, where Mr. R. S. Stewart was speaking on the • abolition of the soft drink revenue tax. From the Senate Chamber we went upstaiis to the Confederate Relic Room. This was very interesting be cause it was there that "e saw relics of some of the great (lenerals and Captains of whow we are studying this year in American History. There - were relics of Generals under whom oar grandfathers and gieat-grand- faithers fought during the Confeder ate war. Among the relics which we saw were the following: A piece of wood _ picked up by F. Nernsee from the Bank No. 263. THE HOME BANK, and showed us the statues of George Washington, Wade Hampton, and the Palmetto Monument. He pointed out the stars on the west side of" the State House which were made by Sherman in shelling it from across the Congaree River. Our men burn ed the bridge between Sherman’s army and the city, but they laid pon toons and crossed anyway. On the rear of the Capitol we were shown the monument to the women of the Cefederacy. At 1:30 p m., Mr. Sargeant, the photographer made a th*r entire group including Col. Brown, Mr. jD. W. Heckle, Representative from Blackville. This picture was made on the lawn some distance from the building in order to get a view of the Capitol. Col. Brown then took us to the Governor’s office and introduced us to Gov. Thomas G. McLeod, with whom jve had the pleasure of shak ing hands. At 2:00 p. m.. w e went to the Jef ferson Hotel for dinner, where Col. (Brown played host to the entire group of guests. A long table was nicely prepared for us as Mr. Brown had made previous arrangements. A me in of salad, soup, chicken hash on 1 toast, candied potatoes, and ice cre:\ni was served When we hvl finished we rose and gave Col. h caled *t B&rnwell, S.

Here Mr. Brown had to leave us and go back to the State House, thy Legislature being in ses sion. ' The first place we visited after din ner was the penitentary.

John Bnown issued a call to the slaves to rise in rebellion against their mas ters, and this barbe was made in his own blacksmith shop There was the hat worn by Jefferson Davis while he was President of the Con federacy. We also saw another hat worn ‘by Wade Hampton during the Civil war, and the coat and vest of Captain Angus Brown, who was the .grandfather of one member of our •class. In this relic room we saw the first and last money issued to che soldiers during the war. There were •also several flags which had escaped being torn to pieces during the cam paign. We then went through the State Library which is used during the session cf the Legislature as an en- •grossing room. We saw the statue <of John C. Calhoun, which is .the original cast and was purchased bv the State for $800.00. Only five statutes were made from thisr cast, all selling for $10,000.00 each. Just a few feet away was a large marble tablet on which was written the or- dinance of secession. On another am&ll tablet was the life of Emily Geiger whom they say never did ex- "Idt. Mr. A. S. Salley, Jr., Secretary of the State Historical Commission, took os to the front of the building E& •. . house. In the death house is the electric cair, the death cells For those sentenced to death, and the dead room with tables for strapping the dead victims to get them ready for burial. On leaving the penitentiary, we took a tour of the various parts of the city. We saw the Governor’s Mansion,ihe City Water Works, Col umbia College, Chicora College, th" University of South Carolina,''- the Lutheran and Presbyterian Semina*-; ies. Logan Grammar-' School, and the Columbia High School. We rode by the Insane Asylum and Elmwood Cometary hack to the State House. At 4:40 o’clock we left for home. The ride back was more pleasant than the one going as the roads had dried off considerably. We got back home safe and sound, a little tired, it is true, hut very much indebted to Col. Edgar A. Brown for a delightful day.
