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.

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. His case will hardly he of
nufficient atrocity to make a legal
contest interesting.

Editor Gaffney Ledger.
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. Dl Ni AN
[We can assure Chief Duncan that
the author of the article of which he
complains did not have his dogs in
mind at that time or he would not
have made such a grievous mis
take.—E l. |

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. In
fact nearly ail business will he sus
pended for that day, and it would he
a nice thing for all stores, mills and
residences to he decorated. Let us
make Caffney look like the patriotic
city that she is lor that day.

The Municipal League will hold its
final meeting previous to the Fourth
at the hall to-night. All members of

given out lo the members. Let all

A HARD RAILROAD TO BEAT.
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.

with blue and brimstone for two weeks

If it were to he considered which

that he could most easily dispense with

Hint, saving perhaps a score of master
pieces, every hnmnii and equestrian
statue in the world might he destroyed
r.t a very small cost to the aestliei.e
sentiments of huinaiilty. Sculpture
lacks color, warmth and life. It Is a
luxury of the rich as far as the adorn
ment of the Imme is concerned, and its
public examples rarely afford satisfac
tion to any hut the uimiteiir. It has,
therefore, very little Interest for the
vast majority of mankind. The Idols
of Idolatrous (s-oples must he excepted,
hut here the Interest is not artistic, but
religious. In the extended sense of the
term sculpture could be less easily dis
pensed with, because It would mean
the abolition of all adornment In urchl-

this would he intolerable.—Exchange.

In the “Christian Endeavor World”
of the 22d there is a very interesting
article on Christian Endeavors in
Alaska. 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.

Ilou to Diversify.
i-oulliurn Eaim Magazine of iialliamrc for
July. I
These are timely words. Diversi
fication is a splendid idea. Tho
experiences of truck-growers in older
agricultural sections demonstrate the
dangfr of applying to the cultivation
of other crops than cotton tho same
methods which have resulted in
making cotton unprofitable. There
is just us much danger in devoting !
the whole acreage of a farm to straw
berries or to beans as there is in
devoting one’s attention to cotton
exclusively. The point to he strong
ly horn in mind is to raise everything
possible for home supply and occupy
remaining energies in the money
crop. I hat rule followed strongly
will make a living for the farmer and
his family no matter what the money
crop may bring. Violated, it tbreat-
nes tho farmer with additional bur
dens.
