MIAMI MO-, OcC. 10, 1917.
Dear AdcertiSer We have had de-
lightful weather and refreshing showers
since the drought of summer. A large
proportion of the soil Of our great State
has been seeded i'll wheat and the spring
Ing cropmow gives universal promise.
We have had beautiful frosts for the last
two mornings, and this has relieved our
farmers, some of whom were feeding,
and all the rest dreading, the Kansas an and
Nebraska pcsts-the grasshoppers. -
Last week 1 was in parts of our State,
30 miles South of this, which areinfested
by them. They are small, red-legged,
fierce looking grasshoppers; and max
ing allowance only for difference in size,
suppose you might apply to them the
descriptions which are given us of me
Egyptian Locusts.
They come up in swarms which shaoe
the earth like a cloud, and sometimes
pass over much country on which not
very many fall, but when tho clouds Oh
them are coming down, rbey present an
appearance much like snow falling IN
large flakes. Then wheat is all eat
en- within two days, and they may
leave without destroying il entirely, a
char.e however for which men will pay
notl. ing at all. Turnips and Onions will
he eaten, top and toot, to the hull as II
rests against the surrounding earth. Ex'
tensiye portions Of Kansas and Nebraska
have lost corn crop and awheat crop II
succession by them and many of theii
inhabitants, since they were certain tina
the latter would be lost, have removed
to places where they can get bread.
With us the price of corn and wheat
now rapidly advancing.

Carolina at this time:
1t is not question of politics, it is not
a question of party supremacy, it is sim
ply question of honest government In
which every good citizen can engage, be
he white or colored, Democrat or Repub-
lican. It is contest in which all good
men can lay aside party preferences,
party preiudices and party tealty, until
the State Governments once more placed
on the firm road of honesty. 1t lisa con-
test for home rule against imported
thieves. Carpet-bagger is but another
name for robber. Scalawag is but an
other name for traitor. Not tina. mean
to call every Northern man, or every ma
tive citizen, who acts with the Republi
can party, a rpet-bagger or scalawag,
but mean the thieves, imported and
native, who have heretofore sustained
such men as Scott and Moses, and are
now supporting Cham mberlain. Chamber
lain represents the carpet Dagger, Moses
the scalawag. These men with their fol-
lowers in the Legislature, the State and
county offices, and their supporters on
the bench, have so degraded the State
and debased the colored people, that at
last the honest men of that race, who
have some pride and self-respect, have
awakened from their lethargy and opened
their eyes TO the peril that threatens
them; they have broken the shacldes of
party tyranny and call aloud for the help
of all good citizens in this virtuous effort.
I. for one, am willing to respond, to bury
the past, and march forward in solid
phalanx to drive this band Of thieves ig-
unanimously from the State. Until that
patriotic duty is performed, let US forget
party politics and look hopefully to the
future. Do not let us be blinded by the
senseless cry of civil rights.
l have faith in this movement, because
il is the interest of the colored man, as
we'll as the white man, to secure an hon.

Republicans, and, as SUD, they may hold
views which ConservatlEscannot espouse.
One of them is coloret et1aan, ans it may
not be agreeable to som Conservatives to
elect colored citizen tdthe second Office
in the State. But they're both Of them,
honest, capable and faitful to the Consti
tuition, and the State, tErefore, can suffer
no detriment at theirhdds. Nor can the
peculiar views of eitherif them injure US,
SO long as they throw u broad mantle of
equal laws over every lass, and give to
the people that honest1and economy in

you all that nothing can be accomplished

news in this section, and let you know
what the people here think about the
more prominent questions and matters
which are now engaging public attention
in this State.
This was the first cold and chilly morn
ing we have had this Fall. 1 did not see
any frost, however, but suppose there
was plenty further up in the mountains.
The corn crop in this county is good gen
erally-better than Las been made for
many years; but the cotton crop will
not turn out as we'll as was expected
earlier in the season. There was plenty
of rain all through the summer, which
caused the cotton 20 grow too much in
the weed. The stalks are not as well
fruited as they would otherwise have
been, and it will be later opening, if in
deed many of the bolls openin matured
state at all. The root and vegetable crops
Of all kinds are flne and abundant Inc
people in this mountain region are not
far behind those who dwell in the level
sand and pine lands of our State in 1ais-
ing excellent turnips, potatoes, &c. But
the apple crop this year, rs it was last,
is not an abundant one. There are not
many apples as yet in town, and the
most of those have seen are not fine,
and comparatively dear. The crop of
chestnuts and chinquepins, however,
is unusually large. and judging from the
quantity Of the l; er consumed by the
College boys and school children daily,
