NOT CARNEG1E's DAUGHTER
Clergyman Denies Mrs. Chadwick Is
Child Of Iron King.

New York Sun Special Service. -:
;. Pittsburg, Dec. 1.-The story reached
Pittsburg today that Mrs. C. L. Chad
wick had represented herself as a
daughter of Andrew Carnegie in obtain
story brought out Rev. DR.. A. H. Jolly,
pastor of the Concord Presbyterian
church, who knows Mrs. Chadwick well
and who married her here to DR.. G. L.
Chadwick eight years ago. DR.. Jolly,
who is cousin of DR.. Chadwick, said:
Andrew Carnegie is not Mrs, Chad
wick's father, as has been reported. can
say this with a full certainty that it is
true. Furthermore, do not believe that
Mrs. Chadwick ever represented herself
as the daughter of Andrew Carnegie, as
has been said here. have no doubt
whatever but that Mrs. Chadwick Is en-
tirely innocent Of the charges made
against her. and that time will tell. Mrs
Chadwick is a very wealthy woman, and j
think she will come out all right Any
story that she is a daughter of Mr.. Car
negie, think, is very wrong. She is OF
French extraction. !

large sum is cheerfully paid. 1t
took only a moment in each case,
but the value of an idea can not
be measured BY the time il takes

this point, and some of them have
not been convinced. But those

Boil WeeviIs in Potatoes.

Monday morning W. F. Neal
brought to the Eagle office a sweet
potato not more than two inches
in circumference and threeand one
half inches long. Calling our at
tention to little black spots over
the surface of the tuber Mr.. Neal
said that he proposed to show us a
few boil weevil facts that might
interest the public, and he did.
The potato was disected and from
it there was taken thirty three boil
weevils in their various stages
of development. If Mr.. Neal had
told rs this story, even though he
is a man whose word can be de
pended upon. we would have been
inclined to treat il as a windy, "
but with ocular evidence to sup
port it there IS left no room for
doubt. This gentleman informed
us that in his crop of sweet pota-
toes he finds many of the tuber
thus infected with the boil weevil,
and that of his own knowledge the
same condition can be found to
exist in different parts of the
county. He further cites as a fact
worthy of note that where potatoes
are stored away with a few of those
infected potatoes in the lot the
weevil VIII continue TO develop
and multiply during the winter
season. 1t is now a fact we'll estab-
lished in our mind that the boil
weevil does very we'll without cot
ton, and with its attention direct
ed to other crops the blighting in
fuence of its presence may serious
~ menace other crops than cotton.
In justification of this belief Mr..
Neal says that on his place he
planted a considerable patch of
black-eyed peas. The first crop, |
planted in the spring, yielded |
well, and the same ground was
planted to peas in June. They |
came up, grew thrifty and bloom
ed, but the boil weevil was attract
ed to the patch and we have this
reliable gentleman 5 word for it |
that not a pea was gathered from
the second planting. Wharton |

In writing Robinson Crusoe," Defoe,

can be no doubt. however, that the island
