train reached Catawba Junction.
Her body was brought back to Ed

Mr.. Ardrey, the agent at Edge

thing alling the woman before
she started. 1t is probable that
her heart was affected, and her
death hastened on account of
fright, as she had never ridden on

Cotton Crop Prospects
Farmers from almost every Sec
tiOn of the county cypress fear

FARMERS from almost every Sec
tion of the county express fear
that tie cotton crop, which tive
weeks ago was so promising, il
going to bc failure. They re.
port leaves Ns willing, turning
brown AM dying, aud sowc report
bells falling oG. Some say tho
cause is rust, others say it is
blight but close inspection of the
underside of the leaves will reveal
innumerublo little insects and it
is these which have injured the
plant. At first almost invisible
and white, in short time they
become easily seen and change to
yellowish or red cast. No one
seems to remember ever having
seen the pest before and 1t is
spoken of as new enemy to cot
ton. Mr.. ii. II. Gooch, with
fifty years experience in farming,
says he has seen nothing like it
before. "Three weeks ago.
said he, 81 had the finest pros~
poets IN my life for a big yield of
cotton and today believe the out
look is the poorest :" Mr.. John
Bridges of the Heath Springs sec
ton virtually said the same thing.
And while many are of this opin-
ion there are some who think the
yield will scarcely be affected by
this insect Mr.. w. j. Cunning
ham, who is considered one of our
best farmers, Is of the opinion
that the continued wet weather is
far more injurious to the crop
than the insect and that the adher-
ence OF the bloom to the boil is
the cause of the bolls falling off
and that plenty of sunshine would
greatly improve the crop condl-
tions. Col. Springs thinks the
crop will not be hurt by the in>
sect and that the crop will be very
large. But, the majority of farm

ed by the rust, blight or insect,
and will fall far short of last
years crop.
In Greenville, Laurens, York,
Chester and other counties in the
State the same trouble is COM
planned of and tho same differ
ence OF opinion exists as to the
effect on the crop. The Colum>
bin Record of Thursday says that
section Director Bauer when ask
ed about the new enemy today
said that it was probably a sort
of fungus growth which is sort
of blight. There has been little
so far in this state except in the
sea island districts several years
ago and when it was found that
1t was contagious it was killed out
by letting the ground alone for
few seasons. While he had not
received enough information ab-
out it to speak authoritatively he
did not think it would do much
damage now, that the crop was
80 far advanced.
