With the facilities of intercom- | munication between different parts j of the world the pestiferous insecl is ! fast becoming a cosmopolitan. Al most every year some little villain bobs up in some unexpected place and begins his depredations as coolly as if be had been sent for and hired to do the job. The potato bug is a new coiner, but he is giving abun dant evidences that lie is perfectly satisfied with Ids new home and that he intends to stay. New enemies of fruit trees are frequently making their appearance, and there are some varieli s nf fruits perfectly adapted to our sod and climate, which can hardly be brought to maturity on account the depredations of the lit tle rascally insects. The insect, however, that now threatens the most serious harm, is the corn horcr. it. has been only a few years since he first made his appearance, but he has steadily tightened ids hold and extended Ids operations until he has become a formidable enemy to the corn crop. The entomologist at Clemson in a letter to Dr. Steppe, of Swiltzer, con fesses Ids inability at the present time to throw much light on the life, habits, and pedigrees of this little marauder, but promises to cultivate Ids acquaintance and give the farmers the benefit of whatever information be may obtain. His suggestion that the corn perforated by this borer be billed up in order to induce it to throw out new roots above the part penetrated will not in our opinion meet the emergency. The borer goes in too far above the ground to he forestalled by such an operation us thut, and furthermore, ho bores upward and would soon get above any new roots that might be thrown out. We do not believe that the ravages of this pest can he suddenly checked by any remedies that science or ob servation can devise; but with a knowledge of the creature’s life his tory and habits, the farmer himself will be able to do much towards its gradual extermination. One fact to ho noted is that this borer is a worm, or grub, and all sucli worms come from eggs laid by sonic winged insect, usually some kind of moth which belongs to the butterfly family. With true instinct the moth deposits the egg where the larva as soon as hatched cun have something to feed on, and this is the reason why the eggs are deposited on the corn stalk. As soon us the egg hatches the little worm begins to e.it ils way into the stalk and it eats 0.1 as long as the stalk will furnish it nutriment, liy the time the stalk fails, t he worm has probably become a moth itself and is ready to lay its eggs in the stalk and die. These eggs may lie in the stalk all winter and hatch out next spring into a whole army of worms ready for busi ness. H this history of the borer is cor rect, and we are sure that in the main it is, for it is the history of all worms—then it suggests two things as a remedy. First the alternation of some other crop with the corn, so that at least one year may intervene between two crops of corn on the same land. Secondly, the impor tance of burning the dead corn stalks on every field, roots and all. We believe this is u common-sense view of the whole object and that if our corn raisers will adopt these simple precautions, the borer will he gradually exterminated, or at least will find it very dillleHlt to make much headway. om>siui:i» .11 sTiii-:. Prince Domns pleaded guilty to a charge of housebreaking and larceny in the court of general sessions in Columbia and received a sentence of three years at hard labor on the chain gang or in the ponotentiury. At the same time and before the same court Oscar Nelson entered a plea of guilty to the charge of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature and was rentenced to a fine < f $50 or six months at hard labor. Wo cull these items from the published proceedings of the court merely to show how worthless in tlio eyes of the law, is human llesh when com pared with beef or bacon, and how much more saoredneas attaches to u man's kitchen or hack sited room, than to his body, which is considered the citadel of his life. Wo suppose that Oscar Nelson beat somebody’s flesh into a jelly, and that he did not murder the man was not owing to any precaution or moderation on the part of Oscar, but altogether owing to tne man’s own strong vitality; yet the assailant squares off vvitn the law with $50 or six mouths work, while Prince went into a house and appropriated a few articles to his own use, without re gard to tiio right of property and without the fear of God and the law before his eyes, and lie goes to the penetentiury for three years. It is true that a sneak thief is ut terly contemptible and belongs to the lowest, meanest class of crimi nals; it is also true that the physical courage displayed by one man who beats another hasa certain attraction for the vulgar mind and often wins admiration where it deserves only contempt and exocration. Hut the law is supposed to be incapable of being swayed by passion or warped by prejudice. The law professes to judge every case strictly on its own merits and to mete out punishments in proportion to the gravity of of fences, and the law ought to judge of the gravity of an offence by its effect on the public weal. NOTKS AND COM VIl; VI S, Cherokee county has at lust been visited with refreshing rains and the farmers, us well as other classes, have taken on new life. The rains have come in good time for the corn and cottm, and there is yet time for an abundant crop of vegetables. It is true that the oat crop of which so much was hoped, has gone glimmer ing, hut at the some time it is a fact to he appreciated that our country is adapted to such a variety of pro ductions that the complete loss of one crop is not seriously felt. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ The course of events in the Philip pines is like the course of true love which according to the poet, never did run smooth. Aguinuldo and his followers are stubborn and elusive— “hard to get and heavy to hold”— the rainy season is on, fifteen per cent, of Otis’ army is sick with fevers, and 20.000 more men are needed to hold vvhat lias h *cn gained until the rainy season is over. The overthrow of Aguinaldo is not yet in sight, and if that he accomplished it will he only one step towards the subduing and holding of the islands. The end is a long way oil. « * -» ♦ The llev. II. If. Proctor, a negro preacher of Atlanta, is preaching a series of sermons lo his Hock r.n the “Black Man’s Burden.” He says, that the three burdens which press the black man down are ignorance, poverty and crime, and he discusses each of these burdens in a sensible and pointed manner. We btdiove that the main source of crime and poverty among the negroes, as among the whites, is idleness. Most of the negroes who have grown up since the war have grown up in idleness, with extravagant notions of freedom and with a strong antipathy to any thing like steady employment. I'i- der such conditions both poverty and crime tire inevitable. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ When it comes t) first-dus-; homi cides on short notice, Greenville now easily leads Edgefield, and that is equivalent to saying that no oilier county In the state is worthy of mention; and when it comes to vigo rous, persistent defence'of manslay- ers and to law-slayers and law-defy ing processes in the courts, the honorable gentlemen of the Green ville bar are winning a reputation which the most ardent anarchist might envy. While they are at work now, in spite of t he rulings of the supreme court to save Chaffin from serving a life sentence for kill ing Grube, a young man out in the country, warmed up with a dram of whisky and enraged at a sorry joke, shoots another young man to pieces and gives himself over to the benign embrace of the law as a hero of mdf- defensc.

DearBir: — I see in the editorial columns of The Ledger of Friday June 23rd, an article headed “Blood Hounds,” in which you say, • Can any one tel) us how many criminals in this or any neighboring State have been caught with blood hounds?” You further say : “When we come to think about it we cannot name one.” As I think this refers to my dogs, as I am the only person in the State that has thoroughbred regis tered blood hounds, 1 beg to refer you to a few cases that have hap pened in Cherokee county. First, take the case of Manuel F.irl, the negro that murdered William Hum phries at this place. After the kill ing Earl made Ids escape across the mountain and would have not been caught had 1 not. been directed by my blood hounds. Second, take the case of Jim Cain, the white hoy that broke into a house about 2 miles from this place and who was after ward sentenced to ten months on the county chain gang. Third, take the case of Jim Rice, the negro that broke in the store of D. It. Birds, at this place, and who is now serving a term of eight months on tin* chain gang. Fourth, take the case of W ill Tennant, the young white man that was tried at the last term of court, and numbers of other cas-:; for vio lating the laws of our town 1 only mention these four cases as I thought you knew something about them. As to the dogs vou have in Gaffney i will only say there has never been a blood hound in Gaffney. Yours most respectfully, .1. C.

It would he a nice thing if all the business iiouses in the city, and as many private residences as possibly can do so, would decorate for the Fourth. It. is a national holiday and we should all take an interest in it. Besides, we will have hundreds of visitors from different parts of the State, as well as other States, and Gaffney should put her best foot fore most. The Gaffney Manufacturing Company, the Gaffney Carpet Manu facturing Company and all other shops and manufacturing enterprises will he closed fur that day. The post- office will observe Sunday hours.

Oua .Man In Double Distilliij 111 Luck Found It So. The Southern Pacific is about the worst road in the wide, wide world to fool in the matter of transportation. The Southern Pacific has such a plain monopoly of California business that it is not necessary for it to look for favors, so it closes down very tight. Even the tickets which the scalpers succeed ia getting are so hedged about with pre cautions that it is like taking a civil service examination to heat one of them. The favorite is a long slip which is designed to bo punched to lit the de scription of the purchaser, so that by no means can it be used by another than the rightful owner. When one of these tickets appears in a scalper’s stock, it looks like a porous plaster, being punctured for the color of the eyes, the hair, stature, weight, complexion and other details of the physical make up. Unco Jim Crawford of Laramie 1 ottli.l himself stuck in Ban Francisco with *t and a fearful hunger for home. But $4 was as nothing to tin* fare hack over the desert. While he was worrying his soul with regrets ho came upon a neatly folded elipof paper which had been lost, doubtless by some hurried tourist. It was one of those pieces of organette mu sic representing u ride back to Ogden. Jim read it over, printed matter, punches and all, and rushed for a drug store. Hu bought dyes for his hair, a stain for his complexion, got a pair of blue goggles and ran a concealing band age over his chin. A barber took off his mustache, and for a dollar a cheap oculist made his eyes blue, so that the goggles were re-enforced with eorrobo- Vation. It took all his money hut 40 tents. Then ho climbed aboard the train. He had reached Port Costa when tho conductor came around anil gave one hurried look at the ticket. “This thing expired a month ago, ” ho said tersely.

They have five societies up Hiere und the largest is in Juneau, with a membership between twenty and thirty, and is called the “North ern Light” society. When we con sider where it is and tho size of the city we cannot help hut believe that the spirit of God must he with that society, for they are doing some good work there. The article dees not suy how many members the other socie ties have, hut even if their numbers arc not large they are doing a noble work by teaching the Bible and dis tributing good literature there. Some of the societies have gone so far as to build churches and halls of tin ir own in which to meet. And when these hulls are not used for meetings they are turned into relief stations for all those who need help. We are sure that the societies cannot fail to do a great deal of good in that ice covered region. Mr. 1. C. Hill, of Aiken, will rep resent the Aiken society at the De troit convention which meets in July. We are sure that it will he time well sp >nt. The Christian Endeavors of Missis sippi have paid for the fuel f.»r one of the churches, taken cure of the sick, done host of other good things, and not content with- practically ru 1 ning the town for Jesus Christ, are about to sully forth in sc iredi of more worlds to conquer. They have ar ranged to organize three other socie ties in the county. Give us more Chrisiian Endeavors like the Missis sippi Endeavors and v\e will soon conquer the world for Christ. “They well know, too, that denominal loy alty and interdenominational fellow ship can walk the same side of the street, arm in arm, as Rev. \V. S. Jacobs so happily set forth.” We are glad to note that the Etta June society is to distribute Bibles among the county piisoners. We wish every Endeavor society in tin- State would do this.
