How to Circumvent This Household Pest,

The carpet beetle, also known as
1.-THE buffalo bug, was introduced from
Europe, and though 1t has hardly been

made its home among us and has done
incalculable damage. The larva-the

maturity. hree-sixteenths Of an inch In
length.
The earliest beetles emerge In Octo-
Der and continue appearing during the
fall, winter and spring months They
pair soon after appearance, and the fe-
male almost at once lays eggs in cracks
of the floor and In nooks so that dur
ing the next summer the carpet may
be yet more eaten. The beetle is quite
small-smaller than would be ordina-
rily expected, considering the size of
the larva-being only about one-eighth
of an inch long by one twelfth Of an
inch broad

Portable dwelling place for this insect,
which is Of a secretive and retiring dis
position.
1t seems probable that the pest was
imported simultaneously by carpet deal
ers in New York and Boston and thence
shipped In goods to inland cities. At
the present day this insect is one of the
greatest household pests IN the New
England states. 1t destroys carpets and
all wooden goods. while furs do not
escape its attacks
The beetles fly to the windows and
may often be caught upon the panes of
glass. They are also captured out of
doors upon flowers. The insect gener-
ally attacks the carpets around the Dor

The following telegram comes to

thatit be published "as news item, -
at regular advertising rates:
FAIR NOTICE TO COTTON PLANTERS.
New YORK, Aug. 2O.-Since the
]. ading cotton manufacturers of New
baled in close woven sacking or bag
ging would be rejected, the move
ment against that class of covering
has become general with manufac-
turers and exporters in all parts OF
the country. AS their experience
hns shown that close covering causes
great damage to cotton by rotting
underneath the bagging from lack of
proper ventilation, any planter who
uses close cloth of any description or
old and rotten bagging, must expect
to have his cotton stripped, picked
and recovered with proper bagging
at his expense. The low price of new
cotton Tagging offers no excuse for
the use of secondhand or inferior
covering.
w PUBLISH the lniOTIuaUIOn, IlOC as
an advertisement but simply to let
the people understand the methods
of the jute combine. No doubt this
same telegram has been sent to
every leading paper In the Southern
States to make it appear that there
is general uprising which will force
the cotton planters of the South to
submit to the exorbitant demands
of the jute trust. The information
contained ia the above telegram
grossly misrepresents the situation,
and the telegram is sent out purely
for the purpose of deceiving the
public in the interest of the jute COM
bine. We trust that the newspapers
of the South will not lend their
columns to this infamous scheme to
rob the people, and that if such tele.
grams as the above are published in
the news columns of any of our
papers they will be clearly marked

alleged information may not deceive
the people, as it is intended to do.

board the necessity and advantage
of taking the matter in had now and
pushing the good work forward
This county is the pioneer of good
roads in North Carolina. We have
today thirty five miles of macadarn-
lied roads in this county, besides
the best public roads in the State
where they are not thus worked up
and we have yet to hear any intelli-
gent citizen say that he is tired OF
this road tax.
Farmers all along the line are will
ing and anxious to give the road
bed and often offer large inducements
to get these road beds changed to
run near them.
Property increases in value as the
macadamized road goes near it.
Stock look much better that pull
loads over these roads and market
is more easily reached and hence
more produce sold.
Give your people better roads and
better schools and your wealth will
follow
Our section is wonderfully blessed
with a full crop of cotton. A finer has
not been seen for years Corn was
never known to be better. There
was never known as many peas sown
in our history. A forage is plentiful
from this crop.
Our spinning mill will open in less
than thirty days. An addition will
be made and when complete we will
have a mill $50 feet long running a
great number of hands and setting a
great deal of money in circulation.
Politics is raging.
