Charleston News and Courier, June
7th Mr.. V. l.. Norman, Of Walhalla,
Exposition Commissioner for Oconee
county, was in tho city yesterday and
when asked about Exposition matters in
his section of the State said that there
could be no gainsaying the interest and
activity in this matter. His county, ho
said, had been subdivided into townships
and each of these small SECTIONS was
hard at work to make tho county OK
hibit fine one. Mr.. Norman Is an en-
thusiast and is doing everything in his
power to further tho great project. He
feels certain that Oconee county will bo
splendidly represented at tho Exposition
and from his recent trips through other
sections Of South Carolina he thought

of tho Exposition at the Exposition
Offices and was pleasantly received by

Thinks Resignation of South Carolina

political event of last week Mr.. Bryan
saws:
1T is an honorable course for the SEN
ators to pursue and beneficial to the
state. AT present South Carolina virtual
~ has no voice in the settlement of pub
lie questions as the vote of one senator
kills that of the other. Senator Tillman
has just been reelected, and thus risks
the loss of a longer term. but Senator
McLaurin really sacrifices more because
he has less chance to win the pri-
mary
Mr.. Bryan added that it was hardly
necessary to say that he hoped and ex
pected to see Senator Tillman win a
sweeping victory, because ne repre-
sents the man, while McLaurin repre-
sents the dollar. The vote will show
whether the plutocratic idea is making

HARVEST HAND NEWS.
w. J. Black Tells How Tickets
Will Be Sold.

After a consultation among the rail-
roads OF Kansas it has been agreed that
a uniform system of handling the har-
vest season traffic be adopted. Special
rates of one-half and one-third fares
are made from points in eastern Kan
sas to points in the wheat belt.
w J. Black of the Santa Fe explains
the harvest rate regulations as follows:
Tickets for bonafde harvest hands
will be on sale from June u to June 90
inclusive, from the following Kansas
ticket offices: st. Joseph, Atchison, kan
sas City, Fort Scott, Ottawa, Chanute,
Cherryvale and Topeka. The destina-
ton may be any point in the territory
west of a line drawn through the cities
of Moline, Eureka, EmpOria, Council
Grove, White City, Junction City, Blue
Rapids and Marysville.
The rates are very lOW-as low as
the railroads have ever made for har-
vest traffic. Two persons, travelling on
one ticket. will go for half fare Three
persons or more, on one ticket, at one
third fare. There is no reduction for a
single passenger.
THE railroads will all work together
to bring the farmers all the help they
need for their harvest The local rail-
way agents in the wheat belt will be in
structed to notify the farmers of the
rates which have been made. The far
mers will then be asked to notify the
agents how many harvest hands they
need The local agents will report to
the general agent of their road the num-
Der of men needed in that locality, and
the general agents viii keep the towns
where tickets are sold posted on the
needs of the various wheat raising To-

FIGHT WITH CANNON.
Big Guns Will Be Turned on
Hail and Grasshoppers.

washington, May 28.-The French ag-
riculturists intend to fight frost and
grasshoppers, as we'll as hail storms
with cannon and smoke according to
an interesting report received at the
state department from Consul Covert at
Lyons. 1t has now been determined to
hold an international cannon congress at
Lyons in November next and Consul
Covert is authorized to extend an invi-
tation to Americans to take part. The
success that has attended the expert
ment of firing at approaching hail
storms to prevent their ravages upon
French vineyards. has prompted steps
for a still further extension of the US
age of cannon in agricultural societies
circles
The theory in some quarters prevails
that it is not the frost Itself which
blasts the budding fruit. but the suns
rays following a night Of frost which
find the grape already sensitive from the
cold, an easy victim to the heat. Cannon
fred horizontally over vineyards at Asst
at sunrise produced interesting results
A strip of vineyard 500 feet wide over
which the smoke from two cannon had
been spread was entirely protected from
the effects of the frost, while the vines
on either side were badly injured.
An invasion of grasshoppers is an
nounced to occur this summer in south
ern Algeria and the lannon's mouths are
to be turned against them also.
