Au effort was made to get the Coast Line authorities to run a t.*ain from Wadesboro or Che- raw to Darlington and return for the 4th of July celebration in Darlington, but the request was refused, the excuse being that all the available cantc would be in use on aooosnt of the Confederate reunion at Richmond. Another effort was made to get the train by asking the railroad people to use caboose or second class cars, and the reply was that they could not undertake to handle passengers in caboose cars. The Coast Line authori ties probably know their busi ness, hat if the people are will ing to put up with inferior cars for a day rather than not have any at all, it does seem that the R. R. should make no objection. Only a few years ago the passengers on the freight train on the C. A D. were com pelled to travel in a caboose car regularly, but now when a re quest is made for such cars for a special occasion, the company replies that they cannot under take to handle passengers in a caboose car. The- traveling pub lic would like to know, why the Coast Line is so loath to accom modate the people along the line of the C. & D., one of the oldest lines in the country. Sonth Carolina certainly lacks unselfish and patriotic men in these trying times. To think that there are no good men in the State to come out and ex pose the unprincipled fellow John Gray Evans, who has the brazen effrontery to aspire to the United States Senate, is sad indeed. The people, who are in favor of good government and honest officials should wake up and bestir themselves. Of course, the open and shut game, adopt ed by the Tillman managers prevents otbsr candidates from run n ingagamstJ ohnGaryEv ans and addressing the people at cam paign meetings—yet this should not have the effect of keeping the troth from the people. Let honest people of both factions arrange for extra campaign meetings in every county in the State and let able men be invit ed to speak to the voters on the questions of the day and expose the bond steal and other rotten ness which has been charged against the administration. organization and concentrated effort on the part of honest vot ers to sift to the bottom the bond deal, dispensary rebates, Fort Royal and all other sus peeled rascality. The day of reckoning is sure to come, and the taxpayers of the State would do well to go at the business* at once and put a stop to the reck lessness, mismanagement and rascality which ispiUngupdebt and increasing taxes every year. A northern man, experienced in the hop growing business, has found out that the land in the-vicinity of Cheraw is suits ble to hop raising.. Consider able interest has been manifest ed in the industry, and, through the instrumentality of Mr. H. W. Finlayson, a number of far mays met Ms. Jones tbs other day to talk about hops. Hop raising is said to be profitable when yea hate the proper kind of land and go at it in the right way. W. Di~Mr«a» hue withdraws from the race for Congress and thus the field Is left open for Johnnie McLaurin who will iv«aw« Ths Editor or Thk News would like tb ask Judge Earle a few questions. Why did yon, Joseph H. Earle, withdraw from the democratic Legislative tick et in Sumter, in 1876 at the darkest hour of the Hampton campaign? Did you not, in the gallery of the House of Representatives, when the Sumter Earle delega tion was turned out of the con vention, advocate, in a speech to those, around you, a bolt and a ticket in opposition to Till man? Did you believe then as now in what you call the rule of the majority? Why did you consent to run against Richardson in 1888 as Tillman’s man, after you had denounced Tillman in Sumter for false charges against the Richardson administration of which you were a part’ Who brought you out in 1890. after the 21 conferance had brought out Bratton as a candi date against Tillman? Will you be kind enough to tell the people how Gen. Bratton was treated in your own county, Sumter, when he was running with you making common cause against Tillman, and your com mRtee was in charge of all ar rangements lor the campaign meeting? Are you willing to say now, as you so often said in 1890 on the stump, that the Shell Manifesto, which Tillman himself wrote, begins and ends with a lie and is a lie from beginning to end? If you have changed your mind about this manifesto will you kindly tell the people upon what ground and what newly discov ered facts hays brought such a wonderful change of view in so short a time? The columns of The News are at your service, and, by answering these simple ques tions, you will confer a great f&vor upon a much perplexed public. Candidate Duncan says that if he could tell what he knows, about John Gary Evans, South Carolina Would be appalled. The public are anxious to hear what Mr. Duncan knows about John Gary Evans, and if he knows anything which they have a right to know he should be forced to tell it. John Gary Evans has already confessed that he is going to get a fee from Rhind, in other words a certain percent of Rhind’s com- missisns, and if Mr. Duncan knows anything else more dam aging still to the “squedunk’s’ reputation he should by all means put the people in posses sion of the information. Peo ple are not easily shocked in South Carolina these days, Mr. Doncan, and are prepared to hehr anything about a man who will work for three clients at one and the same time and receive fees from all. Vftlliafia McKinley’s speech accepting the republican nomi nation to the Presidency at his home at Qanton, Ohio, on the 29th, was a defense of the doc trine of protection pure and simple and barely touched on the money question. Napoleon McKinley is a high tariff man out and out, and, if the gold standard people expect him to make much of a fight for gold, they will be much mistaken. A man can’t half fight for some thing in which he does not be lieve and McKinley is as much of a human as the rest of us. But how uncomfortable it must be for a Presidential nominee to be expected to make a hard fight for gold when he really believes in free silver. During the sickness of Mr. W. P. Pollock, editor of the Ches terfield Star, Mr. H. B. Cross- Ian, the publisher, has had his hands full running both the Che- raw Reporter and the Chester field Star. Mr. Crossland, how ever, seems to be able to manage both papers with credit to him self. The Daily Index, a four col umn afternoon paper, made its appearance in Darlington, last Monday afternoon. Mr. C. F. Sansbury is editor and proprietor of the new paper. There are men in this State who are abundantly able to hire detectives to ferret out the whiskey rebate business and let Above all, there should be soma th®" P® 0 ?!® know who got the money. A sharp, shrewd de tective or two would get at the bottom of the whole thing in less than a month and furnish evidence sufficient to prove that some of those in power have grown rich on money belonging to the State of South Carolina. If patriotism were not at such a low ebb in South Carolina, it would not take long to over throw the whole miserable structure. If anybody is will ing to put up the money the detectives can be furnished with points to start the investi gation. „ In his recent manifesto to the people of the State, Judge Earle went out of his way to praise Senator Tillman for the most disgraceful harrangue ever de livered in a Legislative body in America, and said he would supplement this able effort wfcbn he got to the Senate—in other woids it is a case of “me too”—what you say I’ll do? McLaurin, at the Marion cam paign meeting* proposed Till man and Teller for Preeident and vice President of the U. S., but the anoounoemeat was re ceived with silenoe.

Yes sir—here is one. THE COTTON PLANT LOUSE. An Interesting Letter From The United States Entomologist. U. S. Dept, op Aoricdltdre, ) DIVISION OF ENTOMOLOGY, V Washington, June 20, 1896.) Dear Sir:—Your letter of the 18th, with accompanying speci mens of the cotton plant louse, hes been received. This insect, which is known scientifically as Aphis gossypii, occasionally does considerable damage in the early part of the season to the young cotton plant, but as a general thing is either killed off by its natural enemies or mi grates in the winged condition to other plants before the dam age has been <-very great.. The wet weather seems to favor their increase, since their natural en etnies are less active during such weather. The insect accompa nying the lice is one of the lady bugs known as Hippodamia converaens. This species was present in two different stages, and if it is at all abundant the lice will soon be cleared off. If the increase of the lice contin ues and the planters are proper ly situated for spraying, the fields should be sprayed with a dilute kerosene soap emulsion according to the formula in Farmers’ Bulletin No. 19, a copy of which is sent you with this. In nine cases out of ten, howev er, spraying is unnecessary at this time of the year as it is only a question of a few days before the lice will disappear before their natural enimies, of which there are many species.

FOLU Augusta, Ga., to HaveanOld Fashioned 4th of July Celebration. Augusta, Ga., has caught on to the happy suggestion of Dar lington and has gone to work to have an old fashioned 4th of July celebration. From a long leader in the Chronicle regard ing the proper observance of the day, we take take the following closing words: “We are glad to encourage the celebration of the Fourth of July in Augusta in some more rational way than by the mon keyish parade of street urchins, which is dignified by the term ‘fantastics.’ The Fourth of July is a day that should be dear to all Americans, and we are specially fortunate in hav ing as the orator of the day one so well qualified to emphasize its lessons as Hon. J. R. Lamar. We call upon the public gener ally to take a cordial interest in the observance of the Fourth of July, and Mr. John Harty, chairman of the committee on arrangements, will be glad to receive any suggestions that are practicable and wh»ch will add to the interest and success of the day. The railroads should promptly get to work in the matter of arranging excursions, and there will be no difficulty in filling the city with visitors from the surrounding country. Let it go forth that Augusta will celebrate in patriotic and jov : al fashion the great nation- a holiday, and let the observ ance be so successful in every detail as to make the custom at once a permanent annual fea ture of the life of our people.” Miss Withers to Return to Darlington- Miss Withers, who decide i a few weeks ago to accept a posi tion as teacher in the Abbeville graded school, has been releas ed from her contract by the trustees of that school and will return to Darlington next fall at the earnest solicitation of the trustees of the school here. Miss Withers is an excellent teacher and the trustees are to be con gratulated upon securing her services for another term.
