In some sections Of Darlington County
thousands of caterpillars have appeared
and are stripping the f,resi: of their foliage.
III some localities the trees have the ap.
pcarancc of midwintcr. 1t is feared they
will ultimately turn their attention to the
crops.
The recent cool spell has been paricu-
larly bad on cotton and has injured it con.
siderably. The crop is being destroyed by
cut worms, which are so bad in some
sections that it is feared the crop must be
repanted in places. Corn is also suffering
by these mischievous pests, and the farmers
are afraid they will do them serious harm.

The Stockholders Of the Ncwberry Cot
ton mills held their annual meeting yester-
day. The old board of directors and
officers were reelected throughout. The
report of the President was encouraging
showing that with the mill filled with
machinery, the enterprise would pay hand
somely. $4,000 was subscribed OH the
spot towards the 900 needed to fill the
mill, giving it 10000 spindles-it now has
only 5000 but plenty Of room for 10000.
1t is confidently expected that the addition
al $"r 600 will be raised soon.-Me,uIcny

fully developed heads, one On each end,
and could travel either way with ease. We
know that snakes are bad things to con-
struct extraordinary stories on, but the
above is literal fact, and can be vouched
for by number Of gentlemen who exam

a thing before, and would like to see an
explanation of It from some of our scien-

Mrs. Amelia Anderson, nee Smith, relic
of Capt. Geo. Anderson. late of Waterloo,
Laurens Co., s. c., died Jan. "a, 1886, in
the home where she had given birth to and
reared to manhood and womanhood sixteen
children-twelye boys and four girls. She
was remarkable and model woman in
many respects. First, in that she had
raised to mature age and usefulness all
these children. In the late fraternal strife,
nine of her boys were on the tented feld''
at one time, and all lived through the war
and returned home except one, who was
killed in the battle of Sharpsburg. Eleven
of the boys were still living at the time of
their mothers death, though scattered in
different States.-,Southern Christian Adco-

On last Monday night a horse belonging
to Mr.. W. l.. Gray perambulated in the
neighborhood of Col. B. w. Balls resi-
dence, and on reaching the trestle across
Reedy Fork, he concluded TO try the ex-
pertinent of walking the trestle by moon-
light. Strange to say, the horse walked a
distance of twenty-five feet, before he dis
covered that be had too many feet to
accomplish this feat successfully. The
engineer on the construction train found
him in very uncomfortable position next
morning, and after considerable exertion
he was landed on terra jitnla, wiser but
not better horse; for he still suffers from
the injuries received, which will probably
impair his usefulness for life.-Laurens

Gordon for Governor.
General John B. Gordon makes the
following announcement to the people Of
Georgia:

General John B. Gordon makes the
following announcement to the people of
Georgia:
At HOME, DeKalb County, Ga, May
8, 1SS6.-To the people of Georgia:
After much reflection I have decided to
become candidate for nomination by
the Democratic party of Georgia for the
Office of Governor. This decision has
not been reached without sober thought
and full consideration. For many months
past personal and political friends have
urged me to become candidate. From
every section of the State, and from all
classes and former divisions in the party,
these requests have come. l have hesi.
tated and waited, because desired to
know whether the wish was general with
the people. Of this I cannot longer en-.
tertain doubt. The evidences which
have reached me particularly in the last
few weeks) of the desire of the people,
have profoundly stirred my heart and
satisfied me of my duty. From distant
portions of the State and from my i'm
mediate neighbors (some of whom have
known me in most intimate associations
from my boyhood up) these solicitations
have come. This movement by the
people so far as I am able to judge, is
absolutely spontaneous. have not
written one letter upon the subject, ex-
cept in answer to those which have
reached me; and have solicited the aid
of no man nor conversed with any who
have not introduced the subject.
Now that am a candidate, I trust that
none of my fellow. citizens of Georgia
will misunderstood me. From the un-
generous, unwarranted and utterly un.
truthful criticisms which have heretofore
been INDUCED in by certain parties in
reference to myself, seek no vindication
st the hands of the people.
If the life that / have led for more
than half century, before this people
among whom was born and reared, is
not sufficient answer to my enemies,
who are enemies without cause or excuse,
no reply from me would satisfy them.
If, at any time of my life, if in private
or public station, in peace or in war, l
have ever deserved the confidence and
esteem of this people, deserve the same
now as surely and as completely. I
wish, however, to make known in this
public manner, that I shall visit and
speak to as many Counties as possible,
and am ready on all occasions to confront
these enemies before the people.
Should the people prefer either of the
other able and honorable gentlemen who
are candidates for the Office, l shall sup.
port their choice most cheerfully. If,
however, the people should honor me as
their choice, I shall endeavor to servo
them with an eye single to the best in
terests of Georgia.

The announcement that Gen. Gordon
will be candidate for the Governorship
of Georgia, is producing widespread
CONSERVATION in that and surrounding
States among the friends of other candi-
dates, particularly among the friends of
Maj. Bacon, who were confident of his
nomination before Gordon's announce
ment. They are abusing Gordon most
roundly, and whistling loudly to keep
their courage up as they 60 through the
political woods to the Convention. 1t
will, in our judgment, avail them nothing,
for We are satisfied that Gordon will be
the next Governor of Georgia. He has
been too true and faithful to his State for
his defeat to be accomplished by the
abuse which the friends of other candi.
dates may try to heap upon him. Maj.
Bacon is standing candidate for the
Governorship and has been SO for the
past six or eight years, if we remember
correctly. His friends are in no position
to abuse other men for becoming candi-
dates.

= 1t is stated that many Congressman
are considering, in view of the present
labor troubles, the propriety of passing
some legislation restricting immigration.
This course is advocated because of the
fact that all the riots and bloodshed are
caused by lot of foreign Anarchists and
not by American born laboring men.
What is needed is less demagogy on the

and q rigid execution of the law against

The Farmers Convention, IN our opln-
ion, failed to discuss two of the greatest
impediments to agricultural prosperity in
this country. One. of these is the uncer-
tainty of the performance of agricultural
contracts and the. ineficiency of labor.
There are too many agricultural labor
ers who expect to draw full days pay
for three fourths Of days work. There
are also many Of. them who contract to
work by the year, and stay during the
rainy months of the winter, when work
's scarce, and when the demand for
labor is greater in the Spring, they
leave for temporarily higher wages.
This element of uncertainty in agricultu.
raj contracts seriously affects the general
prosperity of agriculture in our State,
and we hoped the farmers in council
would discuss this trouble in practical
way, and if possible suggest some mode
of remedying the evil. The other i'm.
portant matter that was unacted upon is
the matter of speculatipg in futures.
Some measure looking to the union of
the producing interests in the United
States against the speculating or gamb.
ling in futures should be devised for the
protection of the cotton and provision
growers of the South and West. No
business can prosper to its legitimate ex.
tent where outside parties fix the price
of its products in advance of their prep.
a.ation for market. The. dealing in
futures ought to be stopped, and IS the
farmers are the men who suffer from it,

"A photographer tells the st. Louis
Globe. Democrat that photography opens
up trackless undiscovered domain in
the heavens. Some time ago camera
charged with highly sensitivized paper
was directed at clear spot in the skies,
where the most powerful telescope de.
tected nothing, To the surprise of the
operator the negative showed several
stars of magnitude. This was at first
thought due to some spot or defect in the
paper, but the experiment was tried again
and again with the SAME result. Some
months afterward stars appeared at the
very points indicated by the camera.
The explanation is this: Ever since the

has been known that there were myraids
of stars whose ray. travelling with incon.
ceivable rapidity since the morning Of
creation, has not yet reached the earth.
Every now and then one ofthese appears.
