Several days ago we wrote to' Jiincifin nf En to* J uemson v-ojiegc, u? v iaiv*? v I mology, for information on the I I army worm or caterpillar that is i causing the farmers in several seci tions of the county considerable uneasiness just now, also for measures to be used against this devastating ! v I ^n reply to *our request we are I furnished with the following, which, I we feel sure, will be of much value to the farmers, especially those who are already in immediate danger of attack by the worm: There is in this State and several ? other Southern States, an invasion of the fall army worm on corn, grass j Mhd cotton. This caterpillar is i about 1 to U inches long when grown. It is quite different irom the cotton caterpillar, although many farmers mistake the one for other. This insect which is now in this State is not the cotton caterf pillar which did so much injury to 1 cotton last summer, but is the fall ! army worm which is sometimes B called the grass worm. The fall W amy worm is usually present in i I such small numbers that they do no! ' harm to the crops, but on the other hand, eat the grass in the fields. It is only when thig insect gets abundant that it does harm by eating grass, corn, peas and cotton. The | weather conditions this summer have been unusually favorable for its de-1 velopment. Most farmers who have seen the work of this insect realize that immediate action is necessary for the control of the pest. J CONTROL MEASURES. 4 koro nriuon ine two poisuus iiibv iibiv ft... the best satisfaction so far are ^po^dered arsenate of lead, and Paris-preen. Paris-green can) usual-1 ly be bought at local drug stores, while as a rule arsenate of lead is not handled by such dealers. The arsenate of lead can be secured from such wholesale dealers and most all seed houses. A few such firms are Lamar & Rankin Co, Atlanta, Ga; I The Willet Seed Co, Augusta, Ga; W M Bird & Co, Charleston, S C; i *?he Murray Drug Co, Columbia, S .

A Virginia View oi Political Conditions in This State. In the campaign for State offices now raging (the word is used advisedly) in South Carolina, it is not so much the character of the present Governor that is on trial as the qualifications of the electorate for self-government that are under test. !XJ p-to-IDsL' while anyone can give yo TDTZTJ where we serve you the f OU!E SI We have now on displa g-si-tf Rcspct i ) $ / ? i Without taking for granted that the latest batch of charges against Blease are true, including as they do every species of graft and corruption to which a public official could descend, * * * there is amply enough in the open record of Blease's administration, in his public speeches and official utterances and acts, to prove him utterly unfit to occupy a representative position in any community of intelligent and self-respecting citizens. Coarse, vulgar, and demagogue that he is, the part that he plays must be based on the bejief thai he appeals most strongly to a strong element of the political constituency on wmcn nis fate depends. That this calculation is not without basis in fact is evidenced by the size of the audiences which greet him in \arious counties of the State and by the applause which his intemperate and unseem?8 Go to the National Mer ?? there is a difference betw r?j Rmgi ply in the morninp while the dew is on the plants but do not pet the baps wet. If Paris-preen is used, repeat if rain washes it off. AMOUNT OF POISON Tp USE. For cotton three feet hiph use ho fnilnu-ina amounts of whichever poison is used. The amount varies according to whether the cotton is smaller or larger than three feet high, and in case of corn and other plants vary accordingly: Arsenate of Lead?4 to 5 lbs per acre. No danger of burning. Paris-green?2 to 2 1-2 lbs per acre. On large plantations where quick work is imperative, the Parisgreen should not be used in quantities materially exceeding the dose given above as there is danger of te Ware, We-A re Leaders, N itree Hardi Wholesale and ly language evokes.

Certainly s there are thousands of South Caro- j 1 linians to whom the continuance of y Blease in the seat which has been c ; honored by Heywards, Hamptons s | and Rutledges would be as gall and I wormwood, but these cannot escape j t 1 the judgment that they are degen- s ' erate scions of noble sires should c they permit the befalling of such a h 1 I calamity as the retention of Blease s in the Governorship would be.

Editor County Record: I am glad to report that a number of our citizens have responded freely to help solve our road-building problem by supplementing the funds for same in order to help bring about a long-felt and needful change of operation from that of road patching to road building. It is regretted that space does not! permit the names of all the donors to be given in this article, there be1 M A 1 AM/*f Utf llP?f lf<! f U f l^.-v uiK a icijkuiv iiau, cugciuci vviui uic j way in which various supplements * were rendered?some in timbers, j hauling,overseeing delinquent hands, j digging stumps,cash,etc, all of which j directly shows, instead ot telling, what benefits are derived from good f roads through our county, especially t thoroughfare routes, which we are j trying hard to build, regardless of t whomsoever's door it leads past,thus connecting our farmers with home markets. c Other counties are looking out for ? revenue derived from a business j standpoint in road improvement,and it is simply up to us to protect our interest.

A Other supplements have been ofered that I could not accept at this ime, same being for roads of less mportance which I could not build intil the main roads are completed. Some citizens are wont tc criticise his plan, but if they will consider >ur past practice of trying to build ill of the roads at one time, I beieve there would be a unanimous tonsent in favor of this change and i proportion of patience would exist n its stead. Now, one other thought, please? here is also a benefit derived from lelping to have more money per nile with which to build roads and ihould not be lost sight of in weighng this matter, for every road that ? thoroughly constructed will not leed costly maintenance. Thus we ret a portion of this amount passed :o help to construct other routes ind so on, until mathematically we ee at a glance that the important jart of any method of road-building lepends upon making a healthy ;tart, and I believe the snpplement ibove indicates that this has already x?gun in our county.
