THE CENSUS And Persons Away From Homo During June. The count of the people in the United States will begin in all parts of the country June 1, and end in the cities two weeks later and in the rest of the country before the close of the monthThe people are to be counted at their places of residence, but as many persons and families will be ^ away from their homes during June there is some danger that such persons will not be counted. If they are not counted, the locality in which they live will be misrepresented to that extent, and in some cases this misropre sentation may be enough to affect the representation in congress of the state from which they come Loca! pride and state pride, therefore, should influence all- such absentees to take reasonable precautions against being omitted from enumeration in their places of residence. Such omissions are most likely to occur in the large cities where families-close their homes and go elsewhere for the summer. The occurrence of the Paris exposition this year is likely to increase the number absent from the country. In all cases of contemplated | absence the head of the family is requested by the census of fice to communicate with the sn pervisor of the district'in which Y' he lives. He is also requested to leave information regarding his answers to the questions which are to be asked with some responsible neighbor who will agree to see that it reaches the enumerator on his rounds. Such information might better be left as a memorandum in writing, as in that case it is less likelv to be overlooked. The questions to which answers are desired apply primarily to the population, but also to all farms and manufacturing establishments. * They are being published from time to time in the press of the country.

In addition to prohibiting the importation of canned goods . or sausage meat the bill provides thai until December 31, 1903, the \ importation of fresh meat shall only be allowed in the whole or. in certain canes, in half carcasses, and that the importation of prepared meat shall only be permit i . iNBAS - .* i Tl L- - - L - ted when it is proved to be innocuous, which is regarded as being impossible of proof in the ^ case of consignments of salt meat tinder four kilograms in weight.

Those who are enough inter eBted to exainiue will tiud tout ' the potato beetle has double rows '] of dots along the sides, and the (| 3d and 4th black stripes lrom the lower edge are joined at the ends, 11 while the beetle found on the t nettle has single rows ol dots, and the '2d and 3d stripes are joined instead of the 3d and 4th. The bogus beetle also has a black c spot on the thigh that is not found a on the potato beetle. The legs, as (1 I wull am lllrt niiDH Aitri Mm vrtnnur ? -rr" ?? are also a little on color. It is a skillfully executed counterfeit. The difference is not apparent to ordinary observation^ut is quite distinct on close examination. The bogus beetle is never found ? on the cultivated potato. The potato beetle is said to be . worse the first few years after it's appearance, but has never been * known to abandon any territory 1 it has once invaded. r Johnson's cyclopedia says this k pest was first described by Thos. ^ JSay, who found it feeding on a wild plant of the potato family on the upper Missouri, in 1824 It wa-> scarcely heard of again till 1850, when it wan found feeding on the cultivated potato, 100 ( miles west of Omaha, Nebrask 4. ' Its course was eastward, crofting ' the Mississippi about 1864. it t reached the Atlantic Seaboard in :( 1874, and in 1875 was common c from Virginia to Maine, having s , traveled about 1,500 miles in 10 c years. Its progress from Virginia ^ southward was slower, doubtless because its favorite diet was less plentiful in the south, potato a patches being less extensive and -s more widely separated. The longer the pest remains in ( a locality the more its natural enemies increase, which accouuts for its becoming less numerous. It is said that chickens have been known to acquire a taste for f them. Some of our poultry rais ( ers might make money bre*ding ' 1 and training chickens for this ' 1 work. VVe have never seen chick I ens eat them, but we have not ' seen a potato patch in which * chickens run freely molested by I the bugs. No doubt they eat the < young bugs and eggs.

A dam of masonry and stone 20 feet high will be thrown across the Catawba at a shoals about five miles north of Rock Hill. This will supply power to drive the big electric dynamos which will cable the power to Foit Mill and Rock Hill. In this way Rock Hill's five cotton mills, and Fort Mill's two will be in touch with a power which will outlast coal and wood, Yorkville, Clover, Chester and even Charlotte are not too far away to tap this power for their many mills and for driving cars and lighting streets. Chester herself, however, has never given up the hope of utilizing the shoals above Catawba Falls, the finest water power in the south. If the new railroad line projected from Chester to Camden be built, it will pass the headwaters of these shoals and will assure the completion of a big electric depot at quite distance below Rock Hill and nearer to Chester and to Lancaster than that of the Catawba Power com pony near Rock Hill.?The State.

When the project was first agitated 111 January, very few peo pie thought it would ever rnateri alize; that as exposition on a large scale was too big a job for (he staid old city of Charleston to undertake, and it will be re mouibered that when the project received the endorsement of the governor and legislature as was then presented to the people through the medium of the press, ! the universal opinion was, that it . would be a good thing for the state, and for Charleston; if the money could ne raised, out, rnut the Charleston people would not no down in their pockets and put up the necessary amount. Those who held that vi^w have j been mistaken ; Charleston has shown its hand and the subscription now exceeds $1 10,0(10 and is ; daily being added to.

While the primary cause of of the decline might lie traced to the brilliant character of the crop advices from the cotton belt, the immediate reason for today's collapse was the tremendous selling for the account of a banking firm, originally very successful on the long side of the account ami for months quoted as the leading factor in the ups and downs of the market. This concern, Price, McOormick (Jo., tailed today. The announcement of their inability to respond to calls for margins reached the exchange at 12:37 p. m. and iin mediately the market became a vortex of excitement.
