Indeed, sometimes a*hen are are challenged to say who th?- consumer is as contrasted with the producer, go far as the tariff is concerned. I am tempted to answer 'the farmer.' because he does not pro? duce any of the things that get any material benefit from the tariff and he consumes all of the things which are taxed under the tariff system."

The first step, says Mr. Mc? Gregor. Is to find the source from which the red spiders have spread Into the crop. This source may be found In cultivated, violet plants or poke-berry stalks. The proper course when the source of the pests Is dis? covered is to grub ggf the plants that harbor them and l>urn these plants before they dry. If the pest Is dis? covered In the cotton before it has attacked many stalks, the best plan i* to tear out all the affected stalks and burn them.

C, Aug. 15.- a lone train robber, masked and armed, boarded Southern railway train No. gpartanburg to Asheville, at i?,3? tonight as it was leaving BUtmore, three miles from tins city, and cover erlng the express messenger, B. F. Carr of Marion, with a revolver, ob? tained a package containing $3,uu0 in bills. The robber then commanded Carr to get in the express chest, which he had just rilled, and locked him in it. It is thought that the robber left the train as it slowed up for the Ashe? ville yards. When the train arrived at the Asheville station express employes found ('air locked in the chest. When released the express messenger was unable to give a description of his assailant, saying that the latter was completedly masked. The train was an hour late at BUt? more, a fact which the local police department says the robber was aware of. The express messenger asserts he had just finished arranging his pack? ages, preparatory to leaving the train at Asheville, when he was confronted by a masked stranger with a loaded revolver, who demanded his money Carr says the robber then bound his hand* and forced him to get into the eilest which he locked. The alarm was quickly given here and several policemen were sent to? wards Biltmore on a special train. Other members of the force boarded train No. 35 which leaves Asheville at 10.50. It WM thought that the robber might have attempted to es? cape on this train. At midnight to? night the police and express officials were still without a clue.

Letter to the Kditor of the QreenvNlu Dally News. I have tried to keep out ?( the papers as much as possible with ief erence tothe King-Watson affair a the governor's mansion, of whu h there has been bo much said, but the governor has not Been lit to let up on either Mr. King or myself, and I notice his statement In The Herald and News of Newberry of Friday, August 2, and I ran noi help but au? swar tame. The question lias been asked, "Who is O. AI. Watson " ulin M. WatSOl is a sun of the late O. A, Watson, who shed aome Of the best blood ever spilled upon Virginia soil in defense of his country. Olln M. Watson is a son of widow Watson, who lives on ! Buncombe street, and who is a sister I Of Capt. J. H. Humbert of Laurens county; the late Bmory Watson, who was a pastor of the Methodist confer? ence was my uncle. BS, (>. Watson, pastor of Washington street church, Columbia, S. C, is my cousin. G. P. Watson, pastor of the First Metho? dist church, Gaffney, S. C, is also my cousin.. He has tried, or his friends, to l lake capital by making the lying statement that I was not in good s anding in the lodges to which 1 be 1 ng. I am a member in good stand? ing with all dues paid of Waiden lodge, A. P. M., No, 174; am secretary of said lodge. 1 am also sachem <>f Tallulah tribe, No. -'>o, [. O. R, M., with all dues paid up. I am also worthy patron of the Order of Kastern Star. 1 am also assistant chief hay? maker of Tallulah tribe, No. o3 1-2. 1 am also past nobp grand Of Moun? tain lodge, Independent order of odd /ellowa. The facts are these, as to what hap? pened at the governor's mansion: Mr. J. N, King and myself, who had been strong friends of Gov. Please, went to his mansion about 2 o'clock on Sun? day, found Mr. Please in his night robe with Sam J. Nlcholls and an? other elderly gentleman in the room and a quart bottle of whiskey on a table with the contents mostly gone. Neither Mr. King nor myself were un? der the influence of whiskey .vhile in the mansion; neither did we take a drink while there, nor did we say anthing that the governor could take | offense at. In fact, he ordered us out j of the mansion because Mr. King had | asked him for a respite of 30 days for an old negro who had been sentenced to be executed. This request seemed to enrage him, and he ordered us out of the mansion. As we went out Mrs. Please was standing at the front door of the mansion. Mr. King introduced me tO Mrs. Please. She talked to us several minutes and asked us to re? turn at any time that we saw tit, she not knowing that Mr. Please had or? dered us from the mansion. After leaving the mansion I stopped, and not being fully satisfied told Mr. King I would go back and see what Cole meant by the manner in which he had talked to us, that 1 could not see how he could insult us after WO had been such strong friends and support ters of him and he being a brother in some of the orders to which 1 be? longed. I went back and told him i would like to talk to him. Mr. King refused to go. He (Mr. Please) asked me what 1 wanted to talk about. I told him that he had been a little rough with us, and that I thought lie should consider the respite for that Old negro and save us the expense of carrying it up to the supreme court until we could get a petition asking him to commute the negro's sentence to life imprisonment in the peniten? tiary, but in a very abrupt and en? raged manner In- invited me to leave the premises at olice, which 1 did. In his statement he claims that Judge Ira P. Jones went to The State office with iis when we made the statement of our treatment. This is a lie out of the iVhole cloth; we did not gee Ira P. Joins until we had gone up and written our statement of the treatment we had received. We did. however, after having The Mate office meet Judge Jones on the street und ha?l a short conference with him. and saw him no more after tlc.it time. This was between the hours of 7 and s o'clock, alter the lights wate burn? ing in the city. Mr. Please talks of us as hoboes, and he made the statement that he would pardon any nan who would kill either King or myself if we went to his house and used the language tb.it we used in the mansion. I am not surprised at this statement, for if a man will pardon three negroes for whipping a poor white man, robbing him and leaving him tied to a troo when the> had served less than one half of their sentence, I would u" I... surprised .it .i man of his low and dirty character would pardon any man who would kill am g.I citizen in South Carolina, ii 'be man who did the killing had enough money.

Spartanburg, Aug. 15.?The hoard directors of the South Carolina Chamber of Commerce held a meet? ing this afternoon In this city, sev? eral matters of Importance coming up for discussion in connection with the future work of the organisation. A Set of by-laws, as drafted by a sub? committee, was unanimouslya dopted, together with tentative plans for the financing Of the chamber. The selec? tion of a subscription solicitor, man? aging secretary and publicity man? ager, after a prolonged discussion, was finally left to a committee of three members of the board. Appli? cations were considered from com? mercial secretaries and other city and Stat<> building experts scattered over seventeen different States In the Union. A proposition submitted by the National board of Grain Exchanges to the State Chamber through Secretary A. W. McKeand. was unanimously adopted by the meeting because of its many attractive features. Accord? ing to the proposition every county in the State will receive a donation of $1,000 annually for a period of three years for the purpose of advancing its agricultural interests provided the commercial organizations in the re? spective counties raise an equal sum. The combined total is to be placed at the disposal of the Government farm demonstrator in the county as he sees lit in the advancement of agricultural interests of the people. Several coun? ties In the State have announced their acceptance of the terms, which are made without any strings tied to them, but simply to insure the coun? try a safe margin in the way of ag? ricultural products in time of droughts and need. A Woman Tramp. Manning had a sensation last Wed? nesday by the arrival of a woman tramp dressed in male attire. When the authorities learned of the pres? ence of this creature, a policeman im? mediately sent to the depot, arrested her and put her in the guard house. The woman claims she came from Sanford, Fla., that her name i^ Ed? die Collins and that she is in search of her husband who has deserted her, and carried with him another woman, that she is on her way to Charleston where she thinks her recreant hus? band is. The woman appeared to be about nineteen years of age, and com? munication with Columbia procured the information that she had served a fifty day sentence in that city. Af? ter spending the night in the guard house, and the greater part of the next day. the authorities bought a ticket to Charleston and had her put <>n the train for that city.
