TIE BOIL WORM IN NEWBERRy
Making havoc with the Cotton Crop in
Various Sections OF the County.

Last week The Herald and News
gave the information that the Arkan.
sas or T. xas boil worm had made its
appearance in Newberry County in
sufficient numbers to cause some
alarm to the farmers. The reports from
the farmers and the specimens Of the
destruction the boil worm is doing to
the cotton crop is assuming a most
serious aspect.
On Monday Mr.. D. P. Bouknight,
living near Bush River, four miles from
town, sent in lot of bolls, showing
the worms at work, just as he had gath.
cred they from his fields. Mr.. Bauk-
night fears that bis whole crop will be
totally destroyed by the worms.
Mr.. J. II. Chappell also furnished
some specimens of the work the worms
had gotten in Oh his crop, and on a
stalk with seven bolls there were five
bolls that had been destroyed.
From all sections of the county The
Herald and News has received reports
of destruction by the boil worms.
Capt John F. Banks says that they
are at work in his neighborhood and in
his crop. From the Beth Eden section
also come similar reports.
The boil worm is at home in the lux
uriant growth of cotton that abounds
in many sections of Newberry County,
as he is safe from the penetrating rays
of a September SUD, and can get in an
alarming amount CT work before frost.
With dry weather, however, there is
hope that the worm will disappear.
The boil worm has heretofore been
almost entirely unknown in this Sec
ton, although some few such worms
have been seen here during the last
two or three years.

Randoms from Wheeland.

This community has always been
somewhat sighted with regard to
newspaper correspondents, and has
never been heard from through your
paper for one. Therefore shall try
to give you a few notes and if they
escape the waste basket, doubtless
you will hear from US again.
The farms around here look Or
dinarily encouraging, but have de-
creased about 25 per cent in the last
three weeks, for want of occasional
showers.
There has been some sickness lately,
but they are all out now except Mr..
VIM. D. Frick, who has been confined
to his bed for the last few days with
neuralgia, which has been giving him
a great deal of pain in his head. We
hope he will soon be out again.
Rev. A. J. Frick of Texas arrived
last Tuesday, on a visit to his relatives
and friends in this community. He has
been absent about fifteen years and
finds that the old Palmetto has not
been snoozing all the time. He is a
good Methodist brother, and has been
arousing the natives on the subject of
religion. We held services last Friday
night at the residence of, and for the
benefit of his aunt, Mary, which were
very touching, as she is very old and
will doubtless have passed over the
river till his next visit. He also
preached at the mountain Sunday
morning and has three appointments
before he leaves for Texas Saturday
next. e
We have a very encouraging Sdn-
day-school at the academy now. The
attendance is extra good and every
one takes great Interest, which is the
life of any undertaking.
Politics is exceedingly quiet now,
whether another subject is occupying
the thoughts of the people just now,
or they have really reformed IS live
question. B..

Open your Sunday-school, friends,
and fellow-citiZens; to be without day
school, ,and Sunday-school also, is too
bad for the children, for they will be
too mu b on the street. Let apathy,
indifference and q hindering spirit give
place to faith, love and enthusiasm.
Let the good work of sanitation con-
tinue: See that the drinking water is
pure and free from surface pollution by
interstitial drainage from kitchen,
wash-room, stable, etc. See to the
cleansing of vaults, pig-pens, drains.
Keep bitches open, use White-Wash
freely, burn or bury decaying weeds
and debris generally. Earth absords
and is good Observation-Disclosures use
disinfectants freely and do not dump
trash to remain in the street. Fill
low places and gullies with it and then
cover with earth. Keep the streets, if
possible, clean as the yard-at least in
front Of the premises. If you cannot
have it properly done for you, attend
to it yourself and you will find pleasant
recreation in the little things known
as "the chemistry Of trifles."

aging for Newberrians to attend, and,
in fact, we think the Agricultural and

success. The rates are entirely too
high, and we hope to hear that they
will be reduced so that the Fair may
be well attended and prove success as
heretofore.

excursion last Saturday to visit his
family and friends in Prosperity.
Many Of our people attended the
closing exercises and picnic of the Mt.
Tabor school. Of course they had a
pleasant day.

session of 1S9+95 this morning. Scarce
ly if ever in the history of the school
have fifty students been ready to en-
roll on the first day of school. But
that is just what happened this morn
ing. The school is better equipped for
doing its work than it has ever been,
being supplied from time to time with
apparatus so necessary in school work,
and under the present surrounding,
the enrolment has never been higher
than that of the last two years.
Some of our people boarded the ex-
cursion for Charleston last Saturday
while on the same day some returned
from Asheville: so we have excursions
hither, thitber, up and down, to and

The North Kings Crown.

The following poetic production from
the facile pen of gifted young Caro-
lima woman, recently q resident OF
Newberry but now a citizen of New
Orleans, will be read with pleasure by
her friends and admirers. She writes
well and easily in both verse and prose.
The sentiment of 1.-THE North Kings
Crown" is good and beautifully ex.
pressed, while the rhythm and meter
are faultless. The fifth verse is excep.
tionally fine. We hope she may soon
again favor The Herald and News:
On the wings of the wind the North
King sped
To invade kingdom fair,
The subjects Of May first oppose his
way,
Then bow with a frightened air.
! For his mien was fierce, and his step
was swift,
And they felt with vague alarm
That the gentle sway of their loved
queen May
Was threatened with awful harm.
His breath blew keen DER hill and dale,
he raised bis head on high,
And whistled a tune to the rising moon
In shrill monotone.
His throne ne placed on mountain
high,
His robes were dazzling white,
His sceptre swayed and his messengers
strayed
Ger the land bearing chill and blight.
He called for the crown that the good
queen May
In pride had been wont to wear;
But his messengers sighed, as in vain
they tried
To revive that garland fair.
For the matchless crown Of fiowerets
rare
Had withered away in dread,
So the North Kings gem is diadem
Of icicles instead.
