Santee Canal Conference.

Messrs. E. II. Cain, E. B. Clark

ing the Santee canal. Committees
from the Camden Business league

The Columbia committee is we'll

the project. They will arrive in Char
lesion at l p. N. President Clark of
the chamber will also make the trip
and confer with the senator.
Several routes for the canal have
been proposed, one of them along a
survey made over a century ago by
Mouzon, a French engineer. This
survey closely follows the old canal,
and if accepted will save "a miles in
the distance from Columbia to Char
lesion as compared with the present
route via Georgetown. The canal
would then be % miles in length.
The route surveyed by the experts
through He'll Hole swamp would make

Fatal Accident Near Lamar.

Darlington, April 5.-Mrs. James
Register. wife of well-known farm
er, was killed by the night train from
Sumter to Gibson last night. The ac-
cident occurred on the track, two miles
north of Lamar. Mr.. Register was
with his wife, but returned to his
home nearby. His wife was not to be
seen when he returned few moments
later, and a search revealed her dead
body some little distance from the side
of the track. No wounds were visible,
but many bones were broken, making
it more probable that Mrs. Register
was on the side of the track. The con-
ductor and engineer knew nothing Of
the accident until this morning, al
though they are among the most cap
able and trusted officers of the road.

Speaking of the Presidents purpose
to call an extra session of Congress in
the fall to act on the Cuban reciproci
ty treaty, the New York Sun, says:
"Thus by a legitimate exercise of
his constitutional power Mr.. Roosevelt
succeeds in bringing to the final stage
one of the most creditable and not the
least difficult of his undertakings. He
has fulfilled to the best OF his ability
moral obligation inherited from
President Mckinley. 1t was a pious
duty, and he has kept it as steadily
in mind as if it were a personal debt
to be discharged. He has labored
consistently and persistently to re-
deem the unwritten pledge of his pre-
decessor He has omitted no proper
effort to accomplish his purpose. -
Has the Sun forgotten that less than
a year ago, when a Cuban reciprocity
bill that had passed the House was
pending in the Senate, the President
refused to give his consent that it
should come to vote in the Senate
because he could not count enough
Republican votes to pass it and was
unwilling that it should pass with
the aid of Democratic votes? Does not
tie Sun perceive that but for the de-
sire of the President to make political
capital of Cuban reciprocity we could
have secured it a year ago and saved
the country a year and half of con-
tention over the matter and an extra
session Of Congress?-Courier-Journ

Roosevelt on the Trusts.

Milwaukee, Miss, April 3.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt was the guest Of the
Milwaukee Merchants and Manufac-
lures Association at a banquet at the
Plankinton House tonight, the occasion
being the climax of the President s
ten-hour visit to Milwaukee. Covers
were laid for $50 banqueters. A corps
of decorators had worked out COM
plete transformation of the banquet
room, which was fairly canopied with
Alabama smilax, which, spreading
from twelve chandeliers, ran in grace
full arches to all parts of the room.
The President sat in the centre of a
long table, with other guests of honor.
At his immediate right sat United
States Senator Quarles, while E. A.
Wadham, president of the Milwaukee
Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation, and POSTMASTER of the oc-
casion, was seated at his left.
After the banquet had been served
Toastmaster Wadham introduced the
President, who responded to the toast,
'SThe President of the United States. -
The President took occasion to give
his views on the subject of trusts.
The following summary by the State
of the Presidents speech is adopted in
lieu of the full telegraph report, for
which we have not space.
Between almost every two lines Of
Mr.. Rooseyelt's address there is
apology for the trusts or disapproba-
tion of those who are fighting the un-
lawful combines. The attempt is
made to burden all the honest trust
fighters with the indiscriminate
fanatical attacks on capital by social
lists. The president processes absolute
satisfaction with the antitrust legisla-
tion Of the last congress, when it was
we'll known early in the sion that
he favored a more effective method of
combating the immense power of the
monopolies. The president quotes at
length and with the highest apprecia-
tion, as demonstrating the important
work being accomplished, the perform.
ances of the interstate commerce COM
mission and Attorney General Knox
in preventing railroad deal here and
equalizing freight rate there. While
these restrictions on the graft of
certain corporations in localities do
not touch the real trust evils affect
ing every buyer in the union as we'll
as many of the producers, the presi-
dent has magnifed them into accom-
plishments fulfilling the demands of
the public. But he neglects to furnish
the important information that the
work he praises was completed or we'll
under way when he made his demands
last fall for adequate laws to control
trusts.
Move cautiously" "go slowly"
take time, :" avoid rashness, don t
cripple business are the burdens of
our erstwhile trust buster's"
speech. He strenuously opposes a re-
duction of the protective tariff on
trust products. That would be killing
the patient to cure the disease, he says.

more than half million dollars since
then in trying to exterminate the
bug, which has threatened to eat ev-
cry green thing off the face Of the earth
in the region over which it has spread
comprising about fifty square miles.
It is ravenous defoliator of fruit
and shade trees and if it should extend
its operations over large part of the
country it might easily do hundreds of
millions of dollars worth of injury
yearly. The brute is a dark gray cater
pillar, two and half inches long, and
it's parent is moth of yellowish hue
with black bangs on its wings.
The San Jose scale gets it's named
from the fact that it first appeared in
the San Jose Valley, California, hav-
ing been imported, probably from
Australia or Hawaii. It is the worst
of all enemies Of fruit trees. Almost
microscopic in size it will spread
through an orchard in half dozen
years and, in place of green leaves and
blossoms, leave nothing but dead
trunks and branches.
A fruit-raising district attacked by
it is destroyed as efectually as if over
run by fire. The insects, millions OF
them together, suck the sap of the
tree, each one of them covered with a
waxy scale, which forms sort Of
grayish scurf on the bark.
BILLIONS OF DESCENDANTS.
Inasmuch as single female may
have as many as 3,216 600, GOO descen-
dants in single season, it is easily
understood why the pest spreads so
dangerously fast. Recently the De-
partment of Agriculture has import
ed from China a bug that preys upon
it, and which is now being propagat-
ed in outdoor cages for distribution
among fruit growers.
The grain weevil, which destroys
millions of dollars worth of stored
cereals in granaries and elevators every
year, is little brown beetle quarter
of an inch long. The question OF how
to fight it is one of growing economic
Importance. 1t was imported original
ly from the Mediterranean, and has
been sdomesticated'' so long that it
has lost the use of its wings. Indeed,
its ravages made it famous long before
the Christian era, and it is mention
ed in the "Georgrics' Of Virgil The
female beetle punctures the grain
kernel with her snoutt and inserts an
egg, from which is hatched little
worm that lives in the hull and feeds
upon the starchy interior.
The cabbage worm, which does more
or less damage in every truck patch,
is green caterpillar an inch and half
long. It is the offspring of COM
mon white butterfly. The apple worm
(whose parent is likewise moth) is a
reddish worm half an inch in length,
and is unpleasantly familiar. to every
body. There are many other destfuc-
tive insects in this country, of course,
but those here mentioned are the ones
that do the bulk of the damage and
which are most dreaded by tie growers
of>crops. Up to date the Government,
with all its power, has been almost
defenseless against these dozen tiny
but unrelenting foes.

"And now we have had most un-
pleasant experience. After twenty
six years of freedom from carpet bag
rule we are told to remember the
18th, 18th and 10Th amendments to the
Constitutional. You have had appoint
ed to a high Federal Office man who
is not citizen of Charleston. You
have had appointed to another high
Office man who is not white, with
the spectre of negro domination.
When I recalled the desperate condi-
tions of the past I protested zealously.
I have done all I could think of doing.
The sentiment of the Senate was
protest against the Crum appoint
ment, but what is the use of kicking
against the pricks? Charleston is not
dead yet, thank God, and Charleston
will not die because of a negro col
lector. There is enough in the hearts
of her sons to bring Charleston on the
pathway of progress. Looking at con-
ditions in practical way. Crum has
taken possession of the Custom House
and we can't help it. I don't know
if he will be confirmed, and he will
not if can prevent it, so help me
God. He is in now and unless he is
rejected he will continue to hold the
Office. I could get votes enough to
reject him in secret session. Sen
ators have denounced it privately,
but they are afraid to vote against
it. Now let's let it drop. Let US for
get for the time being the outrage
upon US.
''Let not our enemies rejoice in the
fact that they have heaped disgrace on
our heads. Leave it alone, having
in view the influence of the navy de-
partment and others, and we cannot
do anything if this nagging and con-
tinual reference to it is kept up. I
went to the Senate because of the
newspaper criticism, but held on to
my friends because of the enemies I
had made. | am afraid that if the
men of the North are led to suppose
that the indignity still rankles US
they will say that South Carolina is
not reconstructed, and they continue
to poke it to her. If 1 ran a news
paper I would not mention Crum's
name. | would not give Roosevelt the
SATISFACTION OF knowing G0aG ne laQ
punished US. Leave him alone too.
He will either be renominated or de-
feated, and if be is nominared we will
do our best to beat him, as I hope to
God We will. Now don't continually
harp on Roosevelt and Crum, but
treat them with supreme contempt"
Senator Tillman said that he loved
South Carolina, and be added that be
would always work for Charleston. He
said he had done his full duty by the
city, and he was glad to know that he
won the respect of the citizens.
Speaking Of the men at the banquet
he said that they constituted the back
bone of the community, and he believed
that if Charleston s redemption should
ever come it would come from the
efforts of the men in the banquet hall
last night.

TIE DREAD ARMY WORM.

The army worm. which is one Of the
most dreaded of the insect foes OF the
farmer, Is q naked striped caterpillar
an inch and quarter long. In May
and June it makes its appearance in
immense numbers, devouring wheat,
cats and other grains and grasses. It
climbs up the seed stalks and cuts Oh
the heads. With favorable succession
cf seasons it multiplies in geometric-
al ratio, and at last becomes so numer-
ons as to necessitate migration In
search of food. Then the army worms
travel and feed during both day and
night, indicting enormous damage.
Tt is from their mode of marching IN
armies at sach times that their popular
name. is derived. The parent OF the
worm is brown moth.
The potato bug seems to have been
originally native to Colorado and New
Mexico. Various wild plants furnish
ed it with food, but nothing seems to
have been SO exactly suited to its re-
uuirements as the potato. With the
sntroduction of the potato by settlers
came the opportunity Of this objection
able insect to multiply ad intnitum.
TS began to march eastward and north
ward, at first slowly, depending upon
is power of fight, but later in great
iumps, assisted by the railroads, on
which it took passage.
It made trips of hundreds of miles
sby river, floating on chips or voyag1ng
6by boat. It's spread was startling, and
as the present time its territory COM
Drises nearly all of the United States.
