Things You Ought to Know? Did you know that in the vaiiuus orphan Institutions in South Carolina, ab >ve seveu hundred orphans are gathered for educational purposes? Did you know that it cost an average of at least five doilats a month to provide for each one of these? Did you know that the summer time, when other people are living ins plenty, is usually the hardest time of the year with our orphans, and in every case the Institution treasuries are empty? Did you know that contributions of flour, rice, meal, molasses, t>acon, and other groceries are as acceptable as cash? Did you know that all of these orphan children are the children of your deceased brothers and sisters? Did you know that if you failed to help them they will surely suffer?

The Thornwell Orphanage, which now cares for and educates a family of 230, is at Clinton, South Carolina. At this latter institution, though under the care of PiesbyUriaus, over half of the children are of Methodist, Baptist, Lutheran, Episcopalian or other parentage. Send your gifts to ltev. Wm. P.

The visit of the members of the State Press Association was a most delightful one to our people who had the pleasure of their company during their brief stay, and quite gratifying to the citizens generally and if we are to judge from the expressions of pleasure and praise on the part of these visitors they were equally pleased. It is very pleasaut indeed, to have such nice things said atiout our and people as were said by the representtuu.w -*The State aud the News aft&Courier, What was said i r> uicw., the leading journals of the State were not mere flattery, but real, true praise and compliments which the people appreciate and feel grateful for, coming from such a source, for by this means and medium the outside world will know what the people and town are, and what the growth, prospects and prosperity of the town really are, as distinguished from a blow for the purpose of pleasing. Mr. Norment in his dhscription of the visit calls Union the young Lowell of South Carolina, thus comparing it with one of the greatest manufacturing towns of the United States. In speaking of her hospitality he says, "Union has dore many things well as her record proves, but this trip of the South Carolina State Press Association will long be remembered by every participant as a crowning evidence of the grace and finish of Unions hospitality and courtesy." A Talk About the Boll Weevil. Mr. Bothwell Williams and wife from Ix>tt, Texas, are here on a visit to relatives and friends. Mr. Williams has been in Texas for 14 years; is now engaged in merchandizing and operating a small farm. He talks very interestingly and luteligenlly about the boll weevil. He brought about two dozen of these cotton destroyers in a vial of alcohol. These are of different ages and stages of developement. The boll weevil, as it is called, Mr. Williams says, is improperly named, from the fact that it does not attack the boll, but on the oontrary, enteis the tquare as soon as fully formed, goes inside the shuck, punctures the center, Bucks the sap, then deposits its egg, then goes to other squares and does the same thing. The egg hatches a grub which soon dtvelopes into a weevil. Thus it is that thousauda of weevila soon infest the cotton and the crop soon destroyed. The weed is never ?aten, and to stand off from a field of cotto ? no one would suspect from the appearance of the weed that there had been a weevil iu it, so us long as there are any squares to feed on this is ail the weevil cares for. It sometimes happens that the tender bud of tbe cotton stalk is punctured by tbe weevil, but this is only wben there are no squares. Mr. vVilliams says that some years there is a eal boll worm, which destroys tbe boll. He says that the weevil made its appearance nearly a month earlier this year; that the prospect for a good crop is very promising if the weevil can be prevented from further destruction. Thoiisuritffescres of corn are already rosde'8HHkaverage 45 bnshels-to the aore, aBRul other crops in bis section sea good. A Businflfes Proposition.
