MIGRATION OF BUTTERFLIES.

A remarkable swarm of butterflies
was seen passing over the neighbor-
hood five miles southwest Of Yorkville,
on October 1 and 2. The insects were
reported in an almost endless stream,
and there appeared to be millions of
them. No one who saw the sight had
ever seen anything Of the kind before,
and there was much curiosity concern
ing it. Mr.. c. H. Smith brought one Of
the insects to this Office. At least he
thought the insect he brought was one
Of them. 1t was a butterfly with red
wings, figured with silver, and meas
uring about "a inches from tip to tip.
Mr.. Smith explained that most Of the
others appeared to be larger and that 1t
was possible that he had captured but
terfly Of another species. THE ENoUI-
RER sent Mr.. Smiths insect to the de-
partment Of agriculture with state
ment of the facts in the case as above,
and on last Saturday the following in
teresting letter was received from
Prof. L. o. Howard, the entomologist
Of the department.
Dear Sirs: Yours Of the I'd instant,
addressed to this department, has been
referred to this office for reply. The in
sect which you send Is a butterfly
known scientifically as "Agraulis van
illae," the larva Of which feeds
thr roughout the Southern states upon
the so-called passion flower plants. The
insect is not uncommon, and, while it
sometimes flies considerable distances,
E. ~ 70 MI M q
II has not been recorded as flying In
swarms. Your statement that the bulk
of the swarms which passed over your
city was composed of somewhat larger
butterflies than this, shows at once that
you have seen the migration Of the
milk-weed butterfly, "Anosia plexip-
pus." This Is one Of the most
interesting butterflies in this coun-
try. It Is practically cosmopolitan
and is found wherever milk-weed
plants of the genus Asclepias oc-
cur. 1t is a strong flier and has
been taken at sea more than a thou
sand miles from land. In this country,
1t passes the winter in the butterfly
condition in the Gulf States, and in the
first days of spring begins its migra-
tion in a northern direction, stopping
to lay it's eggs on the milk-weed plants
as InGy put lOTlu tHGlE lcdNSS ouC-
cessive generations pass farther north
and finally reach Canada. In August,
a return migration commences. and as
early as the 18th of August of the pres
ent year, !. noticed them beginning
their southwark flight in the Catskill
mountains. They fly through the sum
ny days, roosting upon trees at night in
great numbers, and resuming their
flight the following day. In this way,
they gradually concentrate In the
Southern States, and toward the end Of
September reach your part Of the
country, eventually, late in October,
being seen in southern Georgia and
Florida, where they pass the winter,
hidden away in the bark Of old trees
and logs or in other protected loca-
tions. The swarm which you noticed
seems to have been unusually large.
The species is of no special economic
Importance, feeding as 1t does only
upon milkweeds.

69 Mrs. Stonewall Jackson, who has
been in a Virginia sanitarium for
sometime, has gone to Baltimore to Sc
cure the treatment Of a specialist, and
it is said it may be found necessary to
perform an operation. While Mrs.
Jackson's general health is better than
it has been for sometime, she is now
suffering severely from neuralgia, and
it is thought the Baltimore specialist
may decide to remove the supraorbital
nerve, and considerable apprehension
regarding her condition Is manifested
among relatives and friends in Char
lotte.

grant it-I cannot see that he sets
himself straight. If I and others had
agreed to share the loss we would GER
tainly have been entitled to some con-
sultation before the running of the

concerned I generally stand by my
contracts-win or lose. S. L. HOBBS.

JUROR WILLIAMS EXPLAINS-SEN-
FENCES PASSED ON THE TWO MY
Frs AND SAM JACOBS
Interest in court matters this
morning conferred in the hearing
Judge Hooker gave Juryman The
ophilus Williams in the Jacobs muir
der case.
Mr.. Williams made a statement
to the court in questions PROFOUND
ed by his attorney, w. X. Zewadski.
He spoke of his feeling badly and
getting laudanum for his troubles,
but did not take it until after II
O'Clock, when the jury had rendered
verdict. According to his ROOM
mate, Juryman Walker, he left the
room about 4 o'clock the morning
of the next day and, according to
Mrs. Williams, his wife, arrived at
his home in the Cotton Plant set
Element about noon, on foot and
looking very badly; that he ate lit
tie or no dinner and then ordered a
horse and rode away and that night
his son, Joseph, found him coming
through the woods home. He went
to bed and his son brought him to
town next day. Mr.. Williams
seemed to know very little of what
transpired for day and it was very
evident his mind was affected by
the laudanum he took.
The following persons who knew
Mr.. Williams for many years testi-
fed to his good character and hon
orable and honest citizenship; that
he would not be guilty, in his right
mind, Of any disrespect to the court
Or do aught to impair the verdict OF
a jury. Those who spoke for Mr..
Williams were H. w. Long, ]. NJ.
Barco, General Bullock and Allen
Langley. General Bullock said he
knew Mr.. Williams from his boy
hood days and he was a most ex-
cnplary and worthy man. In fact,
the testimony was all in his favor.
The Judge then said it was evi
dent to him his absence was the re-
suit of a bewildered mind and re-
leased him.
Then R. A. Bullock asked for a
new trial for Sam Jacobs, but was
denied. He also plead for Robert
son Myers discharge, but the court
refused that motion and also a new
trial for Mic Myers. He then asked
for arrest of sentence in Robert
sons case so he could make an ap-
peal to the supreme court. He was
granted 70 days and the cour; Sa;d
he would accept a very light bond If
Robertson Myers case, as he
thought the verdict was of 10 &C.
count, vet preferred the supreme
court should pass on it.
AS Mic Myers case will be ap
pealed to the supreme court, a bono
will be asked for him.
Judge Hooker then sentenced Nj
and Robertson Myers, neither O
whom had anything to say, as thei
attorney had fully covered Tie
ground. Mic P. Myers, receive,
twenty years at hard labor in thc
penitentiary, while Robertson Wa
given five years.
Sam Jacobs was sentenced fol

STRIVING IN STARKE
WINNING VOTES FOR OCALA IN BRAD
FORD COUNTY

considering the opposition of the ell
ements, was very successful and
satisfactory trip. Arriving there in
the afternoon we encountered a
downpour of rain that proved d
young cloudburst, which for an
hour delayed Our work. The rain
subsiding, we started out. Mr.. Sis
trunk met up with Mr.. Futch, a ris,
ing young attorney of the town, and
the son-in-law of Hon. Newton
Bitch, of Levy county, who IL
ceived us as old friends, took us to
see Colonel Wainwright. the afTabie
and popular clerk of the court, who
assured us that the court house was
at our disposal and he would see
that it was lit up.
We then had our dodgers distrib-
uted announcing the meeting and
proceeded to distribute GALA
Wheel of Fortune" the Brick
City's argument for the capitol site
and found the town full of coun ~
folks, who received them gracious
ly, promised to read them and as
sured us if the arguments convinced
them, they would give Ocala their
support, which many did as soon as
the subject was preached, While
quite a number assured us they
were bent for Jacksonville and no
argumentative train could sidetrack
their intentions, while others said
Tallahassee was good enough for
them.
Attorney Futch kindly acted as
chairman and introduced the speak
ers in very f1attering terms and the
audience, which was small at fl ST,
grew to respectable proportions as
the meeting progressed.
Mr.. Sistrunk's presentation of
Ocala's argument was mastery,
eliciting the. closest attention and
was warmly applauded.
NOTES
The opinion of those in a position
to know is that the vote of Brad
ford county on the capitol removal
question will be divided between the
contestants.
The merchants of Starke were
doing a rushing business, so busy
that capitol removal cut no ice with
them.
The rows of baled cotton on the
railroad platform told the story of
the crowd of country people in town
and the volume of trade flowing
into the merchants store rooms.
Strawberries constitute one of
Bradford county's large and remu-
nerative crops, estimated al
100000 a season.
