war on the Ball Weevil

Governor Hayward has been asked
to appoint delegates to a meeting to
be held at Dallas, Texas, Oh October
S, to consider the determination Of
the boil weevil which has played so
much havoc with cotton in several OF
the Southern States. The meeting
has been called by the state boil weevil
committee of Texas, through its
secretary, John G. Hunter, and at
the meeting the report Of experts,
who have been at work on the problem
of exterminating the pests, will report
the result of their Investigation.
Some time ago $4,000 was offered by
the farmers Of Texas for practical
way for exterminating the evil and
since then many plans have been sug-
geSted, but none have been adopted.
A latter to the governor received from
Mr.. F. G. Browne, Of the Chamber Of
Commerce Of Anderson, encloSeS the
call for the convention issued, but
suggest more central place for the
meeting. Governor Hayward will be
glad to appoint any one who wishes
to attend as delegate, provided, of
course, he pays his own expenses.
This is more important matter than
is generally supposed at this time by
our people. II the bod weevll is
fixture for Texas and The cotton States
beyond the Mississippi, it will soon be
a fixture with US too. Our only safety
is in finding soneway to exterminate
the pest. We are in the same boat
with our Texas friends, and are just
as much interested in finding a
remedy for the boil weevil as they are,
We hope South Carolina will be re-
presented at the meeting.

Hanged to q Tree.

At Marshall Texas, a mob Of several
hundred men Thursday night battered
it's way into the jail, took out Walter
Davis, a negro, and marched him to
the west side of the town where be
was hanged to a tree. The lynching
was the result of the killing Of Con-
stable Hayes, Thursday morning
while he was taking a negro to jail.
The officer was shot from ambush,
being literally riddled with bullets.
Shortly after the killing, Walter
Davis and two other negroes were
arrested and lodged in jail at Mar
shall. a mob formed during the az
ternoon and attacked the Jail. The
local militia was ordered out and ar
rived at the jail after the mob had
secured the negro. While part Of the
mob were talking to the militia off,
GERS, others slipped the negro out and
spirited him away. Everything is
now quiet.

I,AGS BEHIND THE FLAG.
The American Constitution Has Not
Cotton To Guam Yet.

Washington, Sept 2S-According TO
the attorney general the constitution
did not follow the flag in the case OF
the establishment of the United States
government in the island Of Guam.
When the American naval colony was
originally established in Guam. with
Admiral (then Captain) Leary as the
supreme power, one Of his assistants.
Lieut.. w. E. Stafford, obtained one Of
The very few good dwelling houses on
yhe island by purchase from the owner
and improved it to such an extent
that it became practically the most
desirable residence there.
Governor Leary finally concluded
that Lieutenant s;aford'S house was
needed by the government as an ex-
ecutive mansion, and opened negotia-
tiens for it's purpose. The price asked,
however, the governor thought exces-
sive, and when he and Lieutenant
Stafford could not agree, Governor
Leary finally condemned the premis-
es for government purposes and took
possession. Lieut. Stafford made a
vigorous protest against this summary
proceeding and appealed to Washing
for redress, financially and otherwise.
Ever since then the case has been un,
der consideration and finally became
SO complicated that it was referred to
the attorney general for an opinion
On the legal principles involved.
The attorney general has now sus-
tanned the action Of Governor Leary
as being legal under the peculiar cir
cumstance of the case. In his op!n-
ion the attorney general holds that
the constitution has not extended to
Guam by congressional enactment,
and the sole powers Of government OF
the island have been necessarily and
properly committed by the president
to the naval governor, and that IN
appropriating the property of Lieut..
Stafford he was entirely within his
authority in the exercise of the right
Of eminent domain, and that that the
United States has clear and valid
title to the property in dispute. He
holds the treasury can lawfully allow
the owner the price paid for the pro-
perty oy order OF the governor OF the
island. Admiral Leary has died and
Lieut.. Stafford has resigned from the
navy to accept a position under the
agricultural department.

STORY OF THE CRIME.
In almost all respects the tragedy
which closed today at Clinton prison
was unique in modern criminal his
tory. On Christmas Eve, 1901, with
their cousin, Henry Bruce, the three
Van Wormer brothers drove from, in
Kinderhook, some fourteen miles to
hamlet of Greendale, in Columbia
county, where lived Peter A. Hallen-
beck, the uncle Of the Van Wormers.
MIR. Hallenbeck, his wife and his aged
mother, were sitting in the lamp light
IN their living room. a few moments
later there was a knock at the door,
and Mr.. Hallenbeck answered it, to
find the masked men before him,
armed with revolvers. Burton Van
Wormer led the way and with him
the old man grappled. At once all
four began a fusilade Of pistol shots,
which farely riddled the body of Mr..
Hallenbeck. Mrs. Hallenbeck, the
wife, rap into the kitchen. and the
brothers shot at her, but missed. Her
husband ordered her to fee, she ran
upstairs. whittier the older woman
had preceded her, and the two barri-
caded themselves in the attic.
Mr.. Hallenbeck, although mortally
wounded, broke away from his assail-
anus and went to the landing OF the
stairs, where he keeps a loaded SHOT
gun. The assailants >aH him get the
gun, and fled. The old man fell to
the floor and died.
Harvey Bruce turned states eVi-
dence and it was to large extent up
OU LIS CiiCO OliS Soo'tSo1SH
OF the Van Wormer brothers was Sc
cured. He swore that upon the ride
buck from the scene Of the crime,
each of the brothers boasted Of hav-
ling shot the uncle.
1t was shown that the bitterness
which the brothers left toward their
uncle vas dne chiefly to his having
( foreclosed mortgage upon The proper
ty in Greendale, owned by their step
mother the loss Of which compelled
their removal to Undertook.
The triple execution Of today raises
to total of 73 the list Of the murder
ers who have died in the electric
chair. The simultaneous execution
of three brothers is not unprecedent-
ed in the history Of New York state,
although to find the parallel one must
20 back to 1925, when three brothers
were hanged in Buffalo for murder.

The Mexican Boil Weevil.

A government expert has created
CONSERVATION in some quarters by
alleging in an interview that the cot
ton regions west Of the Mississippi
river are permanently affected by the
ravages of the Mexican boil weevil,
and on this account he thinks the
trans s-Mississippi will be forced to
abandon cotton culture. He says
that the insect appears to be ineradi-
cable. and if this were ture his pre-
diction would be verified, as the boil
weevil is certainly the greatest de-
stroyer Of cotton that has yet ap-
peared from the insect world. 1t is
hard to realize the effects Of such a
calamity, as it would mean the an
nual loss Of almost 00,000,000 in
this one crop Of the South. The re-
duction in the cotton supply Of the
world would be truly alar4ning, and
the loss so great as to attract universal
attention. 1t Will be expected, says
the Atlanta Constitution, THAT mod
ern science will be adequate to this
new and singular situation. There
was a time when the army worm
marched with Unsuitable nav over
our cotton fields, and neither floods
nor fire were Of avail against the de-
vastating columns. But now we
scarcely ever hear the army worm
mentioned. Science found method
for its determination. In like man
ner, science must vindicate itself by
going after the boil weevil and find
ing a way to destroy its habitations. :"
Is it not only question Of time when
the Mexican boil weevil, which is now
so destructive in the cotton States
west Of the Mississippi river, will cross
that stream and lay waste our cotton
fields unless some way found to d E.
sGroy the pest.

Mr.. Black was in bed at the hospital
when seen by the Herald representa-
tive, and seemed still suffering from
the effect of the recent railroad acci-
dent in Hamburg. When asked be
gave an account OF the meeting with
Mr.. Tiilman at the Albion hotel in
November last, when be pulled his
pistol out of his pocket, "and stated
that be was going to fix that party in
Columbia with it," During last
February Mr. Black said, he was in
Columbia, and was talking TO several
men,. and one Of them asked him
about the statement he had made.
He said:
Il am sorry I ever gave the affi-
davit, and would give $50 if I had
kept my mouth shut, but there is no
way for me now to get out Of it.
When I made this remark" Mr..
Black continued, "aparty in the room
whom was unknown to me, said you
can get out Of it all right and began
TO draw up a paper.
II took the paper, and glanced over
It, and signed it. | did not under
stand at the time that there was any
thing in it which contradicted the
facts in my first affidavit, and stated
at the time l stood by the truth as
set forth in my affidavit made to Mr..
Elliott
Mr.. Black said that when he signed
the second affidavit be was in room
at Columbia playing whist, but he did
not seem able to tell the names Of any
Of the people who were present, and
said that be did not know the name
OF the man who drew up the last pa
per.
He seemed very much worried about
the matter, said that he was friendly
to Mr.. Tillman, and was sorry that he
had ever gotten mixed up in it at all,
but that Tillman had stated to him
that he was going to use the gun on
that party in Columbia, who was re-
sponsible for his defeat"
''Mr. Tillman was," he said, drink
ing at the time he made the threat"
The Herald man asked Mr.. Black if
he would be able to 60 over to Lexing
ton to attend the trial, and he said
that he would not, that the doctor
had told him that it would be some
weeks before he would be able to get
around again.

As the pirate craft was pressed for
time none Of the living were tortured.
Holes were bored to Scuttle the Dove,
and then her anchor was got upon to

tied twenty survivors, some Of them
being wounded. They stood in line
clear back to the mainmast, each one
tied by bis left wrist, and when the
anchor was cut away all were dragged

The trial OF the pirates lasted about
two weeks, and they were given two

THE FAREWELLs.
No farewells were said, under
Father Belanger's advice, until the
grating OF the big steel doors which
separated them from the corridor was
heard. Then, as Willie was led from
his cell, he was allowed to step over to
the cells of Burton and Frederick, and
through the openings between the
bars Ct the cage in which they were
confined, pressed his face and in turn
kissed those OF his two borthers, at
the same time shaking hands and say
ing as be turned away. BE brave,
boys
AS soon as Willie had passed on, in
to the corridor leading to the death
chamber Father Charbonneau lmme-
diately began to read the prayers OF
consolation to which brief responses
were necessary. thus occupying their
minds in the minutes of suspense.
When it came Frederick's turn to
90, as he left his cell ne stepped back
a few PAGES to the front OF Burtons
cage, and grasping his brothers hands
in both OF his, kissed him repeatedly
until the guard quietly urged him
away.

house made the mJSt pltnetic scene

was but one other person in the world
to whom he might say goodbye. That

Young Loring has never played the

at the end Of the game quite a pile of
bills was pushed over to him.
Mr.. Loring stopped, gazed thought.

said, NO, gentlemen; I can't take

'It was apparent" remarked Mr.
