May 16. With the final session this evening 'of ths Redpath Chautauqua course closes a memorable week in the his? tory of Sumter. When in the early winter the directors of the T. M. C. A. decided to enter into a contract with the Redpath Bureau for a se? ries of Chautauqua entertainments, extending throughout a week and cov? ering a wide range of subjects?mu? sical, literary and educational?it was felt that the undertaking was largely experimental, that the Chautauqua would be on trial and that, if it mado good, if it pleased and satisfied the people of the community, if it ap? pealed to their tastes in things mu? sical, the way would be made clear to renew the contract for succeeding years and to make the Chautauqua week an nnual event in this city. The results have fully justified the highest and most sanguine expecta? tions of the directors of the Y. M. C. A. and the committee of fifty citl ?en? who guaranteed tho cost of the week's course of entertainment. The Chautauqua programme has pleased the people of all ages, and tho most discriminating and critical are most enthusiastic and have derived the largest measure of entertainment, in? struction and profit from the course. From the initial number it was realised by those qualified to form an intelligent and well considered opin? ion, that it was not the Chautauqua that was on trial, but the community, and it is to the credit of the people of the city and surrounding country that It be said that they have meas? ured up to the test and by the sus? tained Interest and dally growing ap? preciation of the educational features of the cours* they have demonstrated that Sumtt as a whole has a healthy and virile appreciation of what is good, ennobling and uplifting in mu? sic and literature, and a sincere and practical interest In the great econom? ic, social and religious problems that sngage the thought of the great leaders In these several phases of present day developments and evolu? tion. The Chautauqua has been welcom? ed as an opportunity of getting into touch with the widening and broad? ening Intellectual life of the country; and the men selected by the Redpath Bureau to discuss the various topics have not spoken to Indifferent or un appreclatlve audiences. The speakers havs brought messages that they were prepared by thought, study and experience to present clearly, forcibly adn authoritatively, yet so conser? vatively, as to be all the moro con? vincing. The results of Chautauqua week have been gratifying; those who de? sire and seek wholesome and elevat? ing amusement, profitable, instruct? ing, and broader outlook respecting questions of social and political im? portance, have received in full meas? ure what they sought. The pro? gramme covered so wide a range of subjects and was so varied in its en? tertainment features that all, from the' youngest child to the oldest, found pleasure and profit each day. Tho most gratifying reflection in connection with Chautauqua week that now comes to a close, is that it will bo ropcatcd next year on a larger and better scale. We part with the Chautauquans who have been with us this week with regret, and a wel? come awaits those who come to us next spring. KU KLUX KLAN STATUTES.

Tomato Club Notes Lyncliburg Club. Dear Miss Lemmon. Our club haa prepared their tenth uf an acre and aet out their plants the 29th and 30th of April. The Planta were five inchea high. We broke off all the leaves except the bud and two leaves at the top and buried them over half way and pack? ed the dirt to the roots and left it loose on top. They are living tine. I don't think there will be much re? setting to do. I am sorry to aay that two of the Trinity Club members have dropped out on account of not having enough plants. That will only leave a club of alx members. We received our chrysanthemum Planta Mav 7, and set them out May 8. Only tnree of the members of the club got plants. The three that got plants were Druie Floyd, Pearl Keels and Mae Belle Dennis. They arc living fine. Hope they will grow and make beautiful chrysanthemums. Sincerely, Mae Belle Dennis. Note: Any club members who have a aupply of plants for sale should send in their names aa there is a great demand for plants. Oswego Club. Our club Is back at work again. We are going to try and do still bet? ter work than wo did last year, as our motto la "To mako the Best Bettor." The majority of our club mem? bers set their plants out in the 1-10 acre. I am in hopes of getting mine out this week. Only a few trans? planted their tomato plants from the hot beds. Our club organizer, Miss Mary Lemmon haa shown us how to make booklets for our crop histories. We have the backs of four of them covered now with brown linen. Several of our members aro going to try and raise the large size chry? santhemums. I hope we will have much success with them. Clelia Terry, President. Ei ad teat lou of Some Common Garden Insects. (Sent out from tho Agricultural De? partment of Winthrop College.) I. How to tell . the Biting Class from the Sucking. 1. The sizo of the mouth or probosis of the sucking insect is small and tubelike, often sharp at the end, which, when it is not in use, is allow? ed to He on the ventral side of the thorax. The food is juices of plants (or animal.) 2. The biting insect has a com? plex mouth, made up of mandibles and claw like appendages which help In masticating the solid food. II. How the mouth parts of a harmful insect affects the remedy to be used iu destroying it. 1. Bucking insects pierce the plant from which it takes it food and avoids any poison placed on the plant. It is then necessary to use emulsions which not only would poison the pest but also in getting into the breathing pores, causes suffocation. 2. Biting insects can be killed by polaons. III. Individuals. 1. Plant louse or aphis, a small Insect, green, red, black, while or yellow in color, is found on corn, tomatoes, cabbage and many other plans of the garden. Emulsions must bo used. 2. Colorado potato beetle. Poison used. Stripped black and yellow. 3. Cut worm. This insect does Its work of devastation during the larva stage.

Memphis, Tenn., May 14.?How the Red Cross organization would get into operation should this country go into actual war with Mexico; the attempt of the organization at flood control in China with a comparison of flood con? ditions in the valleys of the Huai and Mississippi rivers were described at a meeting of the American Red Cross today by Ernest P. Bicknell, na? tional director. The session, which is held in connection with the National Conference on Charities and Correc? tions, was presided over by Gov. George W. Hays of Arkansas. Mr. Bicknell declared the Red Cross could send into the field a corps of nearly 5,000 trained lurscs. doctors and la? borers and tansportation columns.

THE JACKSONVILLE TRIP. Mr. Wimi Again Takes up Story of Veterans' Visit to Great Reunion. Editor Daily Item. We left you under the big tent lis? tening to the Bonnie Blue Flag. That night all the old boys were invited to the grand ball and some went and danced the old Virginia reel and old Joe Hooker, with these fair daugh? ters and granddaughters of the Con? federacy. The old guards were pretty well done up and our captain decided not to risk our old bones and old eyes any more for this day, so we retreated in good order to our rest. Next day we were up and out inspecting the beauties of this city and getting ready for our auto ride of a thousand autos. We went to the South Carolina head? quarters and found our old friend Ben, who, after consultation with General somebody, directed us to go north o blocks, turn to the left and face east and await further orders; stating he was going to hunt up the autos and sponsors and maids of hon? or to ride with us. The old guard brushed up and tried to look young and stood like the boy on the burning deck. Well we stood and we stood, as the hours past and finally all the autos and crowd passed and still we stood and waited oders until we finally concluded Bill was captured with his fair cargo and the ship sank, and thus clinging to tho floating stars and timbers wc drifted on to Main Street just as the head of the grand army of the gray appeared. We felt decidedly left, but better after the autos began to pass with the old boys surrounded by the similing beauties of all over our South land, throwing kiases and smiles at us, and such a grand sight was worth all the trouble and expense of our trip?over a thou? sand autos in line. Some of the old Vets would march, headed by a girl of white hair and many yars, but like tho daughters of '61 she had the spirit to carry her through. Another command was headed by an old Vet and a young lady, all marching and stepping to the tuno of Dixie. Then came remnants of Forrest's cavalry on foot, with the real old Confeder? ate gray jeans and jackets making them look more like Confederate sol? diers than any thing I saw here. I can't begin to tell of all that was done to entertain the old soldiers, certainly enough to make their old hearts glad to see tho places they hold in the hearts of the people of this Southland who were not born when the storm of war swept over our loved country. Old and young men and boys just took these old fel? lows and tried to make them happy. I have been over 37 States, and have never seen anything to com? pare to the kindness and open-hearted ness as has been shown here, and if anything can bo a success, the re? union of tho Confederate Veterans in Jacksonville certainly has been. On my return home I may say something of my trip to South Florida at Miami and Key West. Yours truly, D. James Winn. "MILEAGE GRAB" RESTORED.
