AN oLD.rIME INCIDENT,

Mr.. H. a. Archambault, of the
Grand River country, was a visitor in
Pollock this week, He is an old.timer
In this section, and acquainted with
all the early settlers for miles around.
Mr.. Archanbault had just heard of
Editor d. II. Streeter's victory in the
recent Emmons county convention,
and he related to DR.. Shockey and the
Progress man a very amusing incident
in, which he and Streeter were the
principals, several years age. The
editor, while out on one Of his cam
paigning trips, stopped at Mr.. AS
for supper and over night, Just Tor
a joke, Mr. A. killed nice, fat dog
during the night, and served some
fine dog sirloin for the renowned cd
itor's breakfast. palming it of as rab-
bit. Streeter ate layishly of the meat,
and praised it highly, as successful
politician should. But when he found
out what he had eaten it is: said he
did some very loud barking, and he
has been waiting all these years to
get even with the fun loving Archam-
bault. Pollock Progress.

In the year 1889 the board of county
commissioners concluded to build an
iron bridge over the Beaver in place
of Archambault's toll-bridge. a day
was set for locating the bridge, and
Arehambault supplemented the loca-
tiolf business by inviting large mum,

parts of the county to banquet and

nearly fifty people in attendance at
the function, among them being the
three commissioners-James B. Gay
ton, William L. Yeater and Rufus w.
Child. County Clerk Herrick (who
died suddenly two years later while
sitting in his chair in the county
building at Williamspurt) was also
present. In territorial days there
was no county auditor, the official do
ing the duties now performed by the
auditor and the register being known
as the "register Of deeds and county
clerk"
In the evening, after tho bridge site
had been LOCATED, there was music,
liquid refreshments of various kinds,
and ''stag dancc.'' The late Fred
Whittier was present with his fiddle
and acted as musical director. N. B.
1t should be remembered that there
was no prohihby law then.] ''Shambo"
had promised his guests midnight
supper, and at the appointed hour
they were summoned to the "feece."
There were dishes Of smoking boiled
meat on the table. The meat was a
bit tough, but tasted something like
mutton. Commissioner Child, John

In the spring time the view from
the hills above Emmonsburg is one Of
the prcttiest in the county. Next
morning Mr.. Herrick and the writer
started up the hill to view the seem

they discovered the hide, head and

THE FIRST TO GIVE THE NEWS.

Last week The Courier gave the first
printed news of the Greenwood fire.
We gave it to our readers earlier than
any other paper, daily or weekly, in the
State. How is that for high2 1t ap-
peared in The Courier 20 hours before
any paper containing the same informa-
ton reached Walhalla, and The Courier
gave the first news of the fire to points
100 to 200 miles distant. How about
thatP Well, it's just "a hot combina-
tion"-good, obliging telegraph operator,
a good telephone service and good all
round newspaper. We are not in bust
ness for our health, so we hustle. BY
the thoughtfulness of Walhalla's excel
lent Western Union operator, and a
squirt of rush work on our part, we were
enabled to give our eighteen hundred
subscribers bit of information that was
appreciated. We are publishing one of
the best papers in the State, and we
appreciate the kindness of our friends in
rendering assistance in the matter OF
giving out news. If you have something
that ought to be known.by everybody let
The Courier have it-and we'll do the
rest. Pardon us-we don't often blow
our own horn, because it is too much
trouble to find the instrument, as some
body else always has it and blows it for

Ants Will Kill Boil WeeviI.

Washington, May 3O.-The Depart
ment of Agriculture to-day announced
that an ant had been found in Guatemala
that is an effective enemy of the boil
weevil. 1t will be introduced immedi-
ately into the cotton States. Great
Significance is attached to the discovery,
which was made by o. f. Cook, botanist
in charge of tropical agricultural investi-
cations of bureau plant industry. Cabled
instructions have been sent him to report
Immediately to the department what
assistance he needs in the way Of men
and money. During his trip to Central
America last year Cook discovered cotton
grown by Indians which appeared to be
immune from attacks of the boil weevil
and on orders from the department be-
gan an investigation. Weevils were
present, but Investigations show that
they are unquestionably kept in check by
a large reddish brown ant. These spread
themselves over the fields of cotton, four
or five to plant, and are constantly en-.
gagged in the destruction of the boil wee

After much discussion it was decided
that the primary campaign should begin
on June 81. A committee was appointed
to arrange an itinerary, and that commit
tee will meet in Columbia this week.
After a great deal of discussion, and on
motion OF mir. Richards, of Kershaw, it
was resolved that it was the sense of the
committee that candidates who have no
opposition should not be compelled to
attend campaign meetings, and it was
further resolved that county to county
meetings were not necessary, and that
meetir' n Congressional districts would
be pr" de. This was simply an OK
pressio 4 opinion, and the rules of the
party :. re not changed.
