Mauldln recently ordered releas ed from tile .lpenitentiary, staying the judgment of tihe supreme court, whIch tecently refused Mittle a new trial, is still In ,the state iprison and no move htas been made in his case. If any further move is to be made it. will bave to originate from 'Mittle, and habeas corpus .proceedings would 1)e the move most likely. However, no move is expected, as Governor >Harvey has been furnished .with an order of the suipreme court, wvhich says that no stay of any criminal sentence which has b~een afmrmedi by the sau preime court shall be0 issued except by the suoreme c:ourtt of onte of its jus ties. 'Mittle wfts released on order of Judi~ge Mauilin, who issued a ninety day stay of the sentence afirmed *by the supr~eme court. Governor iHarvey then took the case in hland and ordered 'Mittle back to thte penitentiary. There heo is todlay, pending his appeal to the Unitedi States supreme court, to which tribunal hte has annouinced is inten tion of taking the case. Giovernor' Harvey has recently in vestigated cbmpiaints made agaInst flamp JIames, a Dillon county negro, who was paroled by Governor Blease in 151i, and who was recently arrest 0(1 and sent to thte gang for beating members of htis family. The governor finds that .Jamnes was pardoned by CGovernor' Blease in 1915, and he therefore can take no action in re gard to thte iparole, the terms of swhich were violated, but not until after the negro had been gr'antedl a full par dIon. The state supreme couirt will meet in enbane session next Friday to hear important mlotions, among them prob ably the Eidmutnd Blgham case, So lieltotr Gosriue is expected to appear und move for dismissal of Bigham's appeal on the ground of after--discoy eredt evidence, Higham was sentoeced to dle in the electrIc chitl for the murder of his brother and his sister's two nanlted' children. 1OLL .WEEVIL TESTS 'SHOW BI6 DAMAGE i'esis are 1ade oil Three Fields of ('oliou Near file Ciy and lI1gh De giiee of infestation Found.

Thirty-one of the remainder were fairly well advance(d in growth but punctured and may yield several locks of cottoln per boll, while 61 were immature bolls and will hardly yield anything. The second test was made in the lield of Mr. Sollie Hobo 'near Watts Mills, where the Southern Cotton Oil Conpatny had supervised dusting with calciuin arseniate. The same number of stalks were cut here and out of 178 bolls 112 were found to be Ina ture and unpunctured and 60 punctur ed. A few white blooms were still seen in this fleld.

This was planted by 'Mr. Robert Templeton. lie said that he started to pick u,) squares early aid has continued at it.
