A New Agricultural Pest

Maryland pea growers are threatened
structivc insect which has appeared
among some plants in the southern part
nf this State Prof. w. q. johnson,
the well known cntomologiSt. says they
are of Il class of pests commonly called
plant lice" and also that they are
hard to fight 1t seems that the bugs
gather only on the under side of the
leaves. which curl over and protect
them from assault by spraying appar-
ratus or other devices prepared to souSo
them with poison. They live up To the
motto increase and multiply, 50 that
unless prompt steps are taken To sup
press them. considerable damage will
cnSuc
Professor johnson, To whom Spcci-
mems of the insects were submitted,
proposes To inspect them on their native
heath in st. Mary'S county. and he is
inclined Ia the opinion that they can bc
speedily cxtcrminatcd He advises farm
crs to look after their pea vines and "a
report To him the discovery of any para
sites which may bc found
The discovery of new and dcstruc-
tive insect Ipon food plants is really Il
very serious thing, and it is probably
fortunate that the owner of the farm
on which they were found has observed
them So soon after their development
Ii is to be hoped that the pest may b,
entirely cxtirpatcd. 81 that the pea vines
of Maryland may continue Ia flourish
rs vigorously as they have always done
The pea product is one of Maryland :,
most important indus rics.

There is great Indignation in WoT-
cestcr county among the colorcd people
over the failure to convict Alice Turner.
Sam Morris aud Joe Fields for the muir
der Of John Turner As soon as the
accused were set free by the court they
sought few friends they had here and
evidently prepared 10 remain.
Some of the young colorcd men began
to lionizc Fields and showed their adj
mration for him by taking him into the
bar rooms for drinks. The older men.
however. feel confident that the three are
guilty of the murder for which they
were tried
Saturday night the Indignation of the
people was demonstrated in a manner
which bode no good for the alleged
murderers.
They were known To be quartcrcd in
Free Town" and 1t was reported they
liked Snow Hill and the hospitality of
the people so well that they were going
TO settle here.
Early in the day small gatherings of
people could be found here and there
both black and whites-in earnest CON
versation, discussing the intent of the
woman and two men to take up their
abode here Word was sent to them that
they were not wanted in Snow Hill, hut
this was not taken seriously.
About II O'Clock Saturday night a
crowd of men and boys-white and
colored-marched down Market street.
and someone in the mob fired pistol.
In few seconds several more shots
were heard The crowd marched on
until il reached the house where Alice
Turner Sam Morris and Joe Fields had
been staying The crowd called for the
negroes, but they had escaped They
had heard the pistol shots. and some
one had warned them to flee for their
lives.
II was the intention of the crowd To
drive the alleged murdcrcrs out of Snow
Hill
Everybody believes them guilty of the
murder, and they will not be allowed to
remain in Worcester county. 1t is under
stood they are heading for Baltimore.
