single spraying.
The department in a report on the
principal injurious insects Of 1903 says
the calendar year showed smaller
losses than in many years. Certain
pests caused great lnjuryin limited
localities and several new insect enc
mics of crops were discoyeed. The
Mexican cotton boil weevil which
spread into Louisiana is stamped as
the most important insect pest Of the
present time.
Several species of insects, as rule
more destructive in the south but
which until recently have been very
troublesome northward, have nearly
died out in the north in past years,
the list including the Harlequin cab
bage bug. cabbage looper, corn: stalk
borers, fall army worms and others.
This. however, cannot be said of all
localities.

A Desperate at Bay.

Rome, Ca, June 13.-Jack Bone,
the slayer of q. I. Hall, has been
located in the fastness of Rock Noun
tain, in the upper part of this county.
He has provisions sufficient to last
a week, and is heavily armed and has
a Dig supply of ammunition. Bone is
said to be half witted fellow and OF
a desperate character. He has sworn
never to be taken alive, and those
who know him believe that it is nc
idle boast. A posse with Winchesters
has surrouded the locality, and is pre-
pared for siege. Bone is so situated
as to prevent surprise, and he could
do deadly execution if any attemp!
should be made to rush his position,
as Rock Mountain is remote and

GREAT Loss CAUSED
BY BREAKING Level.
Destruction of Farms in the
Arkansas Valley Growing
Crops Swept Away.

Little Rock, VFA Ark, June ia
special to the Gazette from Pine Bluff
says: The food in the Arkansas river
today reached by far its most destruc-
tive stage in Jefferson county when
part of the Frenchtown levee. abo1t
three miles below the city, broke and
turned the river through a rich Sec
tion of the country filled with grow
ing cops Of cotton and corn.
Since the water began to rise the
planters in that section have been
working day and night to save this
Important levee because it protects
the rich bottom lands for miles below.
Late Friday afternoon telephone
message was received in this city from
those working to save the FrenchtoWn
levee that if the water rose much
higher the levee would break. Many
thousands of sacks of sand were sent
down at once on a special freight and
scores of men went downsto assist in
the work. The men worked all night
long. hut the rising water swept away
their labors and about 3 O'Clock the
levee broke.
The rush of the water could be heard
in this city. The breaking of this
leyee gives the water a clean sweep
over the southern portion of the cou n
ty through the townships of Vaugire,
Victoria and Richland, and the plant
ations in its wake are unprotected.
The farms of DR.. j. F. Simmons,
J. W. Corcoran, Sebastian Gesist'sr,
Leo Andrews, James Gould and others
were among those which suffered most.
The damage to these plantations
cannot be estimated under hundre DIS
Of thousands of dollars as growing
crops Of cotton and corn we're ly
swept away.
At Fairfield. this county, the water
stands from four to six feet deep On
all the farms around the town. Among

hood whose losses will be total sre

The News and Courier received this
announcement yesterday with the fol-
lowing request from thu President of
Clemson College:
81 send you enclosed an item in ref.
erence to the Agricultural Scholar
ships established by the last Legisla-
ture for the benefit of poor boys who
wish to get an education at Clemson
College. Please insert this at once in
the local column in the next edition
Of your paper and send the bill to this
Office if You are not willing to insert
it as free item.''
We print the "item'' in this con-
spicuous way without charge because
it affords proper subject for news
paper comment. There has recently
been considerable discussion in some
Of the newspapers of the State about
the method adopted by President
Johnson in advertising the Winthrop
Normal and Industrial College, and
now comes this request from President
Nell of Clemson College, an irstitu-
tion which has more money than all
the other State colleges put together;
so much money in fact that it has been
necessary to establish special Agricul-
tural scholarships to get rid Of some
of it.
Clemson College is fully able 20 pay
for all the advertising it receives from
the newspapers, and to pay the full
card rates of the newspapers without
any discount whatever, and this much
it seems to US it ought to do in ordi-
nary fairness, in view of the fact that
no institution of learning ever estab-
lished in South Carolina has received
so much favor at the hands of tie
newspapers of the State. This service
to Clemson College was most cheerful
ly performed by the newspapers be-
cause they felt it to be their duty to
the public to aid in the development
of this great institution of learning;
but we submit that business is bust
ness and that there is no better reason
why the newspapers should be request
ed to publish straight advertisement
as free item'' than why Clemson
College itself should be requested or
expected to furnish board and tuition
to any deserving young man who might
present himself for matriculation
whether he has complied with the
rules o. admission to the institution or
not.-News and Courier.

EXILED FROM COLORADO.
Deported Men Not Allowed to
Enter Kansas--Aband0ned With

Denver, COL, June IA special

With a parting volley of rifle bullets

or Colorado soil, 81 union miners
from the Cripple Creek ditrict we're
unloaded from a special Santa Fe
train On the prairie today, one-balf
mile from the Colorado-Kansas State
line and left shift for themselves.
When the special train bearing the
deported men was within half mile
of the Kanass line it was stopped by
Sheriff Brady of Hamilton county and
40 deputies, who notified Lieut.. Cole
that under no circumstances would the
train be allowed to Cross the Kansas
line and further that the deported men
were not wanted in Kansas. Lieut..
Cole assured the sheriff that the train
would proceed no further. Then the
order to quit the train was given in a
hurry. Sheriff Brady called for the
leaders of the unionists and notified
them that they must not c. oss the
Kansas line.
The exlles were disembarked in
haste and without ceremony.
Hurry up there, you fellows,
cried Lieut.. Cole when the train
stopped in the midst of the alkali sand
dunes that the prairie consists of near

time.to waste out here
The special train bad no sooner
come to a standstill when the car
doors were unlocked and thrown open
and the order given by Lieut.. Cole for
the eyiles to leave the train.
"Step lively, yon fellows. Step live
ly," admonished Deputy Benton, who
was in command of the civil force of
the expedition, and in less time than
it takes to tell it the three cars we're
emptied of their unfortunate and un
willing passengers and had started
back to La Junra. The men were left
on the prairie, without food or water,
for the soldiers and deputies, in their
haste to get home had forgotten to un-
load the stock of commissary supplies
the train carried when it left Victor.
The exiles were cherries lot in
deed. Without even light and miles
from the nearest habitation, they hud-
died together in groups on either side
of the Santa Fe track and discussed
their plight Sheriff Jack Brady and
his deputies were on hand to prevent
the deported men from remaining in
Kansas. Warned by the Kansas au-
thorities that they would not be allow
ed to seek refuge in the State the
spirit of the men broke Many of
them finally walked back on the rail
road track to Holly, where they were
furnished food by the big Salvation
Army station there.
