Drank Strychnine.

James F. Carter, colored youth re-
siding on West Burke street, came very
near ending his own life by drinking a
dose of poison he had prepared for rats
Sunday night about min, o clock.
The youth had been mixing strychnine
with some water in a tin cup. Hepoured
some of the poison out of the tin cup onto
piece of meat and then took the meat
down into the cellar to set it as bait for
some rats he wanted to kill. He then
returned up stairs and drank the contents
OF the tin cup, forgetting he says, that it
contained strychnine.
As soon as he found his mistake he
walked alVn to Dr. Sites office, where
the poison was pumped out OF his ston n
ach. BY this tine he was too weak to
walk and was hauled home in a wheel
barrow by Wash Corsey. He has now
almost entirely recovered.

Fairly Successful.

Prof. / c. Corbett. ofthe State Expert
mental Station, Inorganic sn, Friday
made his second and last tour Of the
Berkeley County San Jose scale-inj ested
orchards 10 note the effect of the recent
experiment N spraying. The professor S
announcement Of the result Of the spray
ing is thar it was fairly successful. Where
the weaker solutions, that is a mixture Of
oil and water, were used, there are num-
Der Of live insects on the trees, although
A number OF them we're killed.
Where the pure and crude oil was used
the result was entirely satisfactory and it
is the opinion Of the professor that these
are the tWo best ingredients to be used N
the exterminau Of the pest. 1t was at
first feared that the oil, unless weakened,
would kill the trees, but the exPenmsn,
has shown 10 the contrary.
Where the whale soap was used the
result was also good, but not as much 50
as where the pure petroleum and crude oil
vas used.
This spraying has had the effect Of abat-
ing 10 a certain degree the spread Of the
much dread pest, and the war, which will
be continued, will, II is hoped extermina-
ting the pest.
The orchards that were visited by Prof.
Corbett yesterday were those Of Clyde
Borum, Ambrose Bros, J. 7. Janney and
State Senator Burkhart,
The trees are now bearing fruit and i.
would be injurious TO them TO spray at
this season. Therefore no more spraying
will be done until fall. The insects are
now propigatins and can be seen moving
about over the trees.
