C. & 0. railroad from Spartanburg to Johnson City, Tenn., proved to be such a satisfac? tory and delightful outing to all who were in the party that the Spartan? burg Chamber of Commerce has planned to duplicate the excursion for the benefit of the business men of that city and others who may dosire to join the party. The Spartanburg Herald has the following to say con? cerning the trip: Make your reservation early for the great Chamber of Commerce ex? cursion over the C. C. & O., railroad on July 26-27-28. The ticket, includ? ing railroad fare, nine meals on the diners and berths on the Pullman tourist cars, is only $17. The reser? vations are to be made at the up? town office of the C. C. & O., railroad on North Church street, just in the rear of the Central National Bank The excursion will probably be run In two sections, ep.ch a complete train. The interest in the trip indi? cates the most representative party of Spartanburg people ever gathered together. The train will carry streamers with the words?"Spartan? burg Chamber of Commerce," and will be composed of the most modern equipment. The trip will be a dupli? cation of the South Carolina Press Association. Make your reaervations early and get your party together. After a conference yesterday of officials of the C. C. & O. on the matter of the South Carolina Cham? ber of Commerce excursion over that road, it was given out last night by Mr. Mandel, traveling pasenger agent that the dates chosen for the excur? sion are July 26th. 27th and 28th. The train will leave Spartanburg at 8:30 o'clock on the morning ot the 28th. and returning will arrive in Spartanburg at 7:30 o'clock in the evening of th* 28th. The train will be composed of twleve Pullman coaches and four din? ing cars. Provision will be made to carry nearly four hundred people, giving each a double berth. The Pull? mans will be placed In the Spartan? burg yarda on the evening of the 26th, and will be occupied by the party that night. Breakfast will be served in the dining cars on the morning o fthe 26th. It ia probable that Mr. Ferguson, assistant to the general manager, Mr. Mandel, travel? ing paaesnger agent, and Theodore Dehon, division passenger agent, will go on the trip with the excuraionists. Pullman reservations can be secured with check through Mr. Dehon, the division pasesnger agent, with offices at 109 North Church street.

C. & O., and all cities and towns in the State with organized commercial bodies have expressed a strong desire to participate in this great trip over the new road. Columbia. Greenville, Laurens, Newberry, Charleston, An? derson and other places will be well represented.

Rlberl A UFA Ii PHILANTHROPIST. David J. Rankin, Jr., (.hni Fortune To Make Chances For Boys. Whon the roll of the real philan? thropists of this age Is called the name of David J. Rankin, Jr., of St. Louis, will be found among the first. Mr. Rankin has given away his en? tire fortune of $3,000,000 while he lives, reserving to himself during the remainder of his days only an income of $3,000 a year for his personal use. Without any thought of self, anx? ious only to do with his money that which, in his opinion, will accomplish the greatest good, and spurning the luxuries that go to make up the life of a man of wealth, Mr. Rankin with one stroke of the pen has cast him? self from the millionaire class into I the ranks of the comparatively poor. "I have given away my property I that the poor boy may have a chance j to become a useful citizen." ! In this simple statement Mr. Ran- j kin sums up the motive which j prompted the generous inheritance to J those youths who may attend the in- J stltutlons founded by him and there earn the practical lessons which their benefactor hopes may make them useful citizens. j Mr. Rankin is 75 years old, a Pres? byterian and a Democrat. He is un- I married and made his entire fortune through real estate and stock trans? actions. He was pronounced recent? ly by a successful St. Louis business man as "one of the most sagacious men I ever knew. He always knows 1 when to buy at a bargain and when to sell at a profit." However this may be, Mr. Rankin j has gathered a large fortune within J his hards and now he proposes to j dedicate that fortune to the best use. j He see.- no better way in which to I make his money useful than to es- I tablish a large trade school where I the poor boys of St. Louis may be put upon their feet and lauched into the world with the confidence that comes with the mastery of useful j crafts. Although a firm believer in the ad- I vantages of a college education, the j philanthropist always has maintain? ed that the university should be made more practical. "Tbere should be taught fewer the? ories In our universities and more that is based upon hard, common sense," \a the statement Mr. Rankin frequently has made. "The social and economic conditions of tils country demand a broader education, on practical lines, for those boys destin? ed to become the very backbone of our industrial welfare?the boys who will toll with their hands." I Perhaps It was this determination to as.* 1st in the education of these youths in the establishment of a school equipped for that purpose that was responsible for Mr. Rankln's withdrawal from those social Indul? gences enjoyed by men of means. His desire to save his money that it might ser\e as a means to better the youth may explain why life in s three-room flat over a corner gro? cery was good enough for David Ran? kin. who has been a worker himself *nd knows the needs of workers. ANOTHER MILL FOR DARLING? TON. Enterprifte Will Be Pushed to Suc? cessful Conclusion. Darlington, July 15.?Darlingtonis assured of another cotton mill. About a year ago the matter was agitated, but for good reasons was not pushed to a conclusion. However, at this time, it appears there is a determina? tion to have the mill. A meeting yes? terday of those inteersted was beid in the Bank of Darlington, and some, preliminary steps taken looking to an immediate organisation and the building of the mill. It Is proposed to begin with $300, 000 and In B short time double tha capacity, having 0 mill with 40,000 spindles. Messrs. i>. T. McKeithan, L. R. Williamson, C. B. Edwards and 13 Vaughan are a committee for th ? purpose of completing the prelimin? ary work, and this work, it is believ? ed, will be accomplished within the next few das a A petition has been circulated among the residents and freeholders of the town, asking f<>r an election on tiie questlan of voting $20,000 worth of bonds, to pay for the right of w.v through the town for the new rail? road, of which Mr. Bonsai is the pres? ident, coming here from McDee, on the Seaboard Air Line. Practically every person approached has i < ed the petition and it now seems thit the election will be a mere formality The surveyors have run two routes through the town, one of which wll1 pass directly through the heart of tiie town and th>- other through the eastern portion, on Caahua street. ?Teething children have more or h i diarrhoea, which can be ? . ntroli ed by giving Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy.

AT FOOT OF ARARAT. Erl van, <'a i vital of Russian Armenia Is Quaint Town. (W. E. Curtiss. Cor. Chicago eRcord Herald.) Erivan, the capital of Russian Ar? menia, is thoroughly Russian in spots, hut the greater part if It is thoroughly Oriental, and the bazars, where most of the trade is conduct? ed, are as interesting as any in the East. The name of the town is pro? nounced "Yer-ri-van," with the ac? cent on the last syllable, and the word means "At the foot," referring, of course, to Mount Ararat, the most famous of al mountains, perhaps, as well as one ef the most interesting. The two peaks that compose the mountain, the greater 17,260 and the lesser 13,000 feet high, are always within view, barring the weather, and there is a decided difference of opinion as to the number of clear days in this climate. People who want to "knock the town" insist that the peak of Great Ararat cannot be seen more than once a week, but the more loyal inhabitants will assure you that it is in plain sight every hour, morning noon and night, and every day in the year. As Ararat is the principal attrac? tion that brings strangers here, and as scrangers spend money, it is nat? ural that the reapers of the harvest should take a sanguine view of the situation, but while visitors are wait? ing for the clouds to roll by they can see several interesting monasteries in the vicinity. The streets of Erivan are wide, the houses are of one story, built very much after the Spanisli or Moorish plan, around a patio, and without windows on the street. There are a few good shops filled with modern merchandise in the Russian quarter, with restaurants, cafes and other modern improvements. There are two hotels which are simply tolerable and no more?the kind that you would not' patronize unless you had to. The bazars, however, are very busy, because a large population come here for trade, and Erivan is practically the terminus of the rail? way, which brings vast quantities of freight that must be carried farther on by camel caravans. These cara? vans meet and receive and discharge their cargoes at a large open suare, surroundqd by kahns, the Oriental substitute for hotels, and such places are always fascinating to people from other parts o fthe world. Most of the goods that are carried into the interior come from Moscow, for the Russian government does pro? tect its manufacturers and promotes their trade where it can be done without interfering with military af? fairs. Most of the goods that are brought in are rugs, wool, hides and skins from various parts of Persia and Turkish-Armenia, which are shipped in bulk by rail and boat and stetmer to Constantinople and there disturbed. There is nothing to buy here; nothing that any American would want. Although the bazars contain a complex assortment of merchan? dise of sufficient variety to suit Orien? tal comers, they are not our kind of goods. Here as elsewhere the bazars are made up of little boxes, not more than six or eight feet . .uare, lined with shelves, filled with goods, and the proprietor sits in the mJdst of them, "squatting like a Turk," or stretched out comfortably upon a rug smoking cigarettes. You seldom see the narghile, or Turkish water pipe, with a long tube. The bazars, cover many acres, which are cut up into narrow, winding streets sheltered from the sun by roofs of masonry or awnings of matting, and, as usual, the trade Is classified for the conven? ience of the public. The vegetable dealers, the butchers, the candlestick makers, the hardware and iron mon? gers, the leather mongers and print dealers all have their own streets, and the shops are BO (dose together that rival merchants can chatter to? gether while waiting for customers. ?Work Hi Hours A Day.

Cotton Fields Attacked?Agent of Agricultural Department Telia Be?t Way of Combating the Saaall Bug?. Lexington, July 14.?The red spid? er has broken out on the farm of R. If. Caughman, near Lexington, and threatens to be very destructive to the cotton crop should the present wet season be followed by a contin? ued hot and dry spell. It appears from the statements of those interest? ed in this cotton pest that a great many sections of the State are infest? ed and it is believed that unless its spread is checked, it will become shortly as destructive as the boll wee? vil. The cotton affected wilts as if it were scalded and finally dies. No practical remedy has as yet been found, though there are preventive remedies which appear successful. The department of agriculture has established a laboratory at Batesburg for a thorough study of the red spid? er, and H. P. Wilson in charge of the work visited Lexington and made an examination of the Caughman field. He is positive, in his opinion, that the trouble is the red spider and, of course, he realizes the danger of its further spread. In speaking about this matter, Mr. Wilson makes these interesting ob? servations; and desires that they shall receive the attention of farm? ers throughout the State: "Violets and poke weeds appear to be the plants from which the spiders spread to the cotton. I have observ? ed a number of fields where violets in yards were badly infested with the spider before it passed to the cotton. The original infection began close to the violets and spread out first in a fan shaped form and then gradually the whole field became infested. The same thing is obsesved in connection with poke weeds, Jersualem oak, burdock, morning glories and garden beans are food plants ofr the spider and should be kept way from cotton fields. The spider seems to be pretty well scattered about the State and is doing considerable damage, and threatens to do a great deal more un? less some means can be found for checking it. "I have hardly gone far enough with the work to be able to suggest a desirable remedy. However, poke weeds and violets near cotton fields should all be destroyed, and if the spider is only found on a few plants, these should be pulled and burned. The spider seems to be able to win? ter in violets and the danegr lies in infestation from these sources. "Where the infestation is bad I have found the following mixture to be effective In killing the most of them: One pound of sulphur to three gallons of water. The sulphur to be placed in a bucket or pan and enough water added to form a paste with the sulphur, then the remainder of the water can be added. This mixture can be applied with a spay pump or with an ordinary sprinkler. Care should be taken that the mix? ture is gotten onto the under side of the leaf. The spider propagates itself very rapidly and the failure to make a thorough spray leaves room for danger in the future. "The most practical method in the way of prevention seems to be that of crop rotation and I hope that by the end of the season a satisfactory System of rotation may be worked out. The farmers themselves can do a great deal towards preventing the spread of this pest if they will be careful about plowing around infest? ed stalks. The spider catches on the harness and may be carried a long ways into the field and a new colony planted. This is a very serious prob? lem and to some extent a new one The department is doing the best it can and is greatly interested in the work." MI-O-XA.
