CHICAGO, May 22.-The threatened
trouble between the color-d Baptists of
the South and their white brethren of
the North broke into war to day, when
Rev. A. Bipga, Jr., "a negro preacher
from Manchester, Va, entered manuel
church and presented series of resolu-
tiors adopted by the State convention
of colored Baptists in session at Lynch
burg. The resolutions complain of the
acli)n OF the American Baptist Publica-
tion society on discharging three colored
writer's on the Teacher. Rev. Biuga
in presenting the resolutions spoke feel
ingy. He said there was no Mason and
Dixon's line on his part. The colored
brethren were simply curious and want
ed "a explanation. Cheering mingled
with expressions of disapproval marked
the conclusion of his address.
DR.. u. Griffith, national secretary, in re-
ply said there were three reasons for drop
ping the men:Flr5t, we had TOD mucn ma
terial for our journal; second, We needed
more material for our tracts; third the
race troubles last year at Indianapolis

would not select those colored men be-
cause we believe them to be disturb

few scattering ayes and rumble of

Rev. DR.. Burch, colored Baptist, OF
this city, rose to protest, but the chair
man declared him out of order. There
was such q chorus of "hear him" "heal

forced to put resolution permitting
Rev. Burch to speak for three minutes
from the platform. The colored preacher
declared he protested against the per
emptory action taken, and protested II
the name of quarter Of million o
negro baptists. At the conclusion o
his remarks a motion to adjourn wa
put to The House by the chairman il

GARNER, n c., May %, 1890 This a
great day in the history of this village and
a momentous day in the life of the more
than one hundred children who have
been students at Garner High School
during the past session. Commence
ment occasions and accounts of the ex-
ercises get old and tiresome to new5pa-
per readers, but no two are ever alike,
and to me thy are always invested with
deep interest and pleasure. This is es-
pecially 50 when most of the students
are young and are speaking their
speech" for the first time.
To day witnessed the close of Garner
High School, of which PROF. G. 6.

the one hundred and five boys and girls
have received under their instruction.
The scholars were prompt, ready, anC
evinced talent in their recitations
and songs, and no city school couie
furnish brighter examples than th
school.
1t is truly wonderful that this school
in this small village, should have on
hundred and five students. 1t speak
strongly for the split of education ant
progress that animates the people of tn
village and the surrounding country
and it speaks quite as strongly for tn
efficiency of the teachers. l wish tha
every township in North Carolina ba'
such school, and that all the people il
the State were as deeply interested il
educating the children as these people
l rejoice to be with them, and to shar
with them the pleasure that the success
of this occasion brings to their hearts.

CORN HAS A NEW ENEMY.
A Bug Thought to be Destroying the
CrOp--.What the State BOtanist
Thinks About 1t.

CrOp---What the State Botanist
Thinks About 1t.
Yesterday farmer of Chatham coun-
ty sent six curious looking bugs to the
agricultural department, with the state
ment that the insect was playing the
very mischief with the corn in that Sec
ton. The farmer wanted to know what
the thing was, and asked for the best
method OF exterminating it. It was
stated that in some fields nearly all the
corn was whitening and dying, and the
presence of the bug was the only appar-
ent cause for the disaster.
Secretary Bruner sent the insects to
Mr.. Mccarthy, the State Botanist and
| Entomologlst, asking his opinion and
advice
MIR. Mccarthy said the insect belong,
to the stalk boring weevil tribe, and that
It's scientific name was Boridus. 1t has
long been pest of potato fields, but has
never been known to injure corn before.
His opinion was that If the bugs were
responsible for the havoc in the corn, it
was not caused by their eating it, but
by their larva. The bug lays its eggs
near the base of the plant. The eggs
hatch into maggots and these bore into
and eat the heart of the stalk. There is
no remedy for this kind of destruction, d,
as the larva or maggots cannot be
reached without destroying the corn.
The Botanist has some doubt about
| the responsibility of this bug for the
destruction of the crop, and suggests
that the farmers should look for the Boil
worm which is now active.
There is . way to kill the bugs, and
thus prevent them from depositing their
eggs in the fed
The remedy is to sprinkle them with
kerosine emu 'ion which is prepared az
follows:
Dissolve one-half pound common soa,
III one ga]l3n of water. Boil this anc
add it boiling hot to two gallons of kero
sine OIL Churn this mixture with
dash churn for about fifteen minutes
until a perfect emulsion is form ed ant
the liquid adheres to the surface o
glass without oiliness. Dilute this b,
adding twelve parts of cold soft waite
to one part OF the emulsion.
This should then be sprayed on til
insects On the corn and ground.
The emulsion may be dashed on tn
bugs and plants by means of an ol.
broom or sprinkler, or from common
watering pot with very fine nose. Yer
little of the liquid is required to kill tn
bugs, but it should in every cast, touc
them.
