It can be "compared with the Chicago World's Fair and Buffalo's Pan-Ameri? can, only. In all the elements and ex? cellencies that gp toward making it a complete and .triumphant artistic success-and a true and impressive rep? resentation of the natural resources and manufacturing industries of the South -there is nothing left to be desred. Those who have visited the Exposition have come away delighted :and wondering-that so great an under? taking could have been successfully accomplished in South Carolina : those who do not visit it will miss the op? portunity of their lives. But three weeks remain in which to see the Exposition and there are tens of thou-* sands who can afford to go and who, if they neglect the opportunity, will always regret doing so. The beef trust is beginning to feel the effect of the public's resentment of its exactions and the consumption of beef shows a heavy falling off* A trust, ' even though it may control what is consideren one of the prime necessities of life, can carry its exac? tions a bit too far for its own good, and instead of increasing profits reduce them. Potato Bugs. The potato bug, which proved to be so destructive to the Irish potato crop last year, totally destroying it in many places, has already made its ap? pearance and ready for the fray. They can be exterminated, however, by mixing one ounce of Paris green in three pounds of fiomr and sifting this on the potatoes. .T"he Southern Culti? vator recommends ubis, and says there is no danger of poisoning the potatoes. This should be ; done immediately after the first bug is ' seen, for they can soon ruin the-entire patch.-Ex. For the information of those who may be afraid of the poison, . we will state that a much.smaller quantity can be used. Mr. W.. O. Cain says that a teaspoonful of Paris green, mixed in one quart of flour.and the same dusted on the vines in the morning while the dew is on will certainly kill the bugs and db no harm to the potatoes. The duster is made by tacking some mus :'lin on a shingle or similar board, sloping off one end of. same for a han? dle and boring a hole in the board over the muslin bag, through which the mixture is put in. ? ?. . . . 7~~ .

Bishopville, May 5.-The county conrvention met in the opera house today and was called to order by Mr. Edwin Wilson. Mr. E. E. Carnes was made temporary chairman and W- R. Law secretary. -The roll was then called and 73 delegates answered to their names. The temporary organi? zation, on motion, was then made per? manent with BL E. Carnes, president; E. M. Kelly, vice president, and W. R. Law, secretary. After prayer by the Rev. A. Parrot^ the convention got down to business. Mr. R. E. Carnes was elected member of the State executive committee and CoL J. ' A. Rhame county chaiman. The following delegates were elect? ed to the State convention; CoL J. Harvey Wilson, Hon. T. G. McLeod, W. S. James, L. A. Moore, W. A. Gardener and W. W. Hearon. Resolutons heartily endorsing Col. J. H. Wilson for sceretary of state were passed by a rising vote, to which he responded in his usually eloquent manner. The following resolution was unanimously passed, after which the convention adjourned: Whereas, as it is generally reported tb at the validity of the act creating Lee county is about to be tested in I the supreme court and that the senti ! ment favoring such litigation is not j general, but confined to only a few individuals, and that such action will necessarily cause a consideable expen? diture of money, unnecessary delay of I official acts and most probably bring about that hostile sentiment so antag? onistic tb the financial, social and f political dimity which should exist be I tw??ii sister communities ; thereof re, j Resolevd by us, the representatives ! of the Democracy of Lee county, in ! convention assembled. That although feeling assured of the justice and equity of th? general assembly in the passing of the act creating the new county bf Lee, relying upon the justice pi our claims and feeling perfectly i confident of the final outcome, we ho w-1 ever, greatly deplore such contem- j plated action and the inevitable ill | results of the same, and invite the citizens of Sumter, Darlington and Camden, and all other interested com? munities, to cooperate with us in . en? tering our earnest: protest against further molestation of our social and political right/ ROOSEVELT MTS TO ! ?

GOT Miles and Admiral Dewey, the report:t?; that effect published in to? day's New York Herald, is persistent j.?y;T???eSred- in Washington. The pres 'idente'; dislike for the ranking ^officer in both the army and navy is an old story and; it is known that he would not care tb see jtfiem so signally honor? ed by the French goyernment. ?
