INsTIGATING VIOLENCE.

The Republican, Populists may be said
to have opened their campaign when Sen
ator Butler threatened ITO WHIP OUT
OF THE STATE" the advocates of White
Supremacy.
The Republican formal announcement
of its adoption of the Republican Ken
lucky method was uttered at Newton last
week by Spencer Blackburn. Assistant o.
S. District Attorney, when he said LET
NORTH CAROLINA DEMOCRATS TAKE
WARNING FROM THE FATE OF WILL
LIAM GOEBEL"
Butler is going to whip them out OF
the State" and Blackburn advocates as
sassination. a la the Kentucky Republi-
cans.
OF course both of these advocates of
Negro Rule squirm when the people re-
pudiate their cut-throat advice, but that
does not alter the fact that they have
advised a lawless course which would
bring about the anarchy and revolution
that the Republicans and their allies
brought ABOUT In KENTUCKY.
The incendiary utterances of these OPP
ponents of White Supremacy will bear
their logical fruit. Yesterday Chairman
Simmons received letter from one of
the wisest most moderate and most con-
servative men in Western North Caro-
lima, from which we make the following
extract:
Il have just read your interview and
| have reasons in addition to those given
by you to believe that your conclusion is
correct, and that there is a deep laid
scheme on the part of our opponents
through their revenue officers and others
to cause trouble and violence. and, in
some sections they will attempt to bull
doze l venture the assertion that there
will not be a public speaking OF any inn
portance in the West in which armed
revenue officers are not conspicuously
present, and making themselves generally
obnoxious to the Democrats.
'SWhy does X, (naming a prOml
nent revenue official from the Eighth
Congressional district have so much bus
mess recently in SO many different coun-
ties-Quick hasty visits, met, sometimes
at least, by prominent Republicans and
the Deputy Collector of the district and
other revenue officers"
This is not the utterance of politician,
but of a quiet, observant citizen who lives
in a county where the revenue doodles
show their hand.
North Carolina people may as well
understand now that there are Republi-
cans in this State desperate enough TO
follow the example of the Kentucky as
saSsinS.

Crude Petroleum For Scale Insects.

To the Editor: The action of insecti-
cidal washes or sprays upon plant tissue
is one of the most uncertain things In
nature. Climate seems 10 effect the re-
suit even more than the composition of
the wash.
Recently a Northern entomologist has
proclaimed crude petroleum to be the
much sought for specific for San Jose
scales. The writer has recently tested
this substance upon apple, peach and
plum trees moderately infested by San
Jose scale. Locality of orchard, Wake
county; age OF trees, to 10 years The
trees had been carefully tended and were
well grown and healthy, barring the
scale. The petroleum was applied Feb
ruary 15th-ar dry, windy day. The
Deeming pump and Vermovel nozzle were
used. Two strengths of oil-pure oil and
oil diluted one half were used. The trees
were as thoroughly washed as is possible
with pump, but not enough oil was put
on to drip or run down trunk.
Result March 9th: The bark OF all
sprayed trees is greasy brown. but the
oil has not penetrated the living cells.
All scales wetted by the oil are dead, but
in no case did the wetted scales amount
other words about 10 per cent of the
scales escaped the wash and are still
alive.
The buds of the apple trees were not
injured in any way. The buds of the
peaches were killed to the extent of from
% to SO per cent. The buds of the plums
were killed to the extent of 20 to 80 pes
cent. No particular difference could be
noted between the effect of half and
full strength of wash.
The general conclusion is that for this
section crude petroleum has about the
same effect upon scale insects and trees
as pure kerosene. 1t is no better and is
about as dangerous to use.
Persons who wish to experiment with
mineral oils upon fruit. trees should &c
slowly. Oils are dangerous, especially
upon stone fruits,
