900 in 1903. Assuming s5O0,0OO,0OO as
the value Of the normal cotton crop of
the country, Mr.. Hunter says the prob
able ultimate damage when the pest
has become spread over the entire belt
would approximate s250,0O0,OOO an
nually, providing nothing were done to
check it. Planters, however, are adopt
ing changes in methods that tend to
avoid so much damage. The report
predicts that the weevil eventually Will
be distributed all over the cotton belt,
advancing into new territory at the
rate of approximately 500 miles a de-
cade and it probably always will be
as destructive in a series Of years as
it has been in Texas since 1894. The
report suggests that the probability OF
it's being carried to West Africa or
elsewhere abroad is not at all remote.
In case the seed happens to be sacked
or even shipped in bulk there is moth
ing to prevent the weevils from being
carried long distances on shipboard as
they are able to adapt themselves sue
cessfully to climatic conditions. 1t is
pointed out, however, that the danger
could be avoided by fumigation or by
leaving the seed sacked in store rooms,
isolated from new cotton for a year
previous to shipment.

ALTHOUGH it has been published
that the war correspondents who went
to Japan to report the operations OF
the Japanese army had been allowed
to go to the front, it develops that the
statement was premature. But the
correspondents are hardly to blame for
the mistake. 1t seems that the Japan
ese officials have been playing with
them. That is, the correspondents were
kept in anticipation Of being allow
ed to start soon; but were given first
one excuse then another for being held
back At last they were told they
could start on a certain day, and they
advised their respective papers accord
ingly. Since then, however, they have
learned that permission to start was
not given with the intention that they
should be allowed to get anywhere,
and it is doubtful as to whether any
regular correspondent has really seen
any fighting on the Japanese side yet.
The understanding is that there are
quite a number of correspondents at the
front with the Russians; but they are
kept so persistently on the run that
they have not had an opportunity to
send in any report of value.

Drowned In Charleston Harbor.

Charleston special Of Thursday to
Columbia State: The first and only
casualty of the Confederate reunion
occurred this afternoon in the capsizing
of a small catrigged sail boat between
Fort Moultrie on Sullivans Island and
Fort Sumter, resulting In the drowning
of J. D. Carmichael Of Dillon. and ):
w. Harmon of Lexington. ]. H. Bond
of Lexington and another man from
the same place had a narrow escape,
being rescued in an exhausted condf-
ton, requiring medical treatment at the
army hospital on the island. Sullivan,
Nelson and Gibson, three Charleston
men, were also saved by the fne work
of the life saving crew on the beach,
assisted by several men Of the garrt-
son. The boat was owned by Sullivan
and the party was on pleasure sail.
A hat was blown into the wafer, and
In putting about suddenly, the boat was
capsized. The bodies Of Carmichael
and Harmon were recovered. The for
mer has a son, William Carmichael,
manager Of hotel at Marion, who has
been notified Of the death Of his faith
er. The harbor was as calm as a mill
pond.

THE report of the scientific people
published in another column with ref
erence to the ravages Of the boil wee
vii, present and prospective, indicates
at least a world wide scare, if nothing
else. But really we do not think that
there is any need to pay too much at
tention to reports Of this kind. The
bugologists have to admit that they
have learned nothing as yet that was
not already known to the plain cotton
farmers who have been sustaining the
losses, and just anybody can make
predictions. Nobody need be surprised
if the boil weevil finally makes its way
to this territory and then again 1t Is
quite possible that it may never be
seen here.

JIM GILMORE CAPTURED.

Jim Gilmore was captured at Pur-
sley & Parrott's saw mill, near Kings
Mountain last Tuesday evening by
Sheriff Logan and Measrs. Calvin Pur-
sley and c. F. Gordon.
Gilmore is the negro who was ar
rested at Lowryville last year on the
charge Of having broken into O house
occupied by some unprotected ladies.
He had narrow escape from being
lynched at the time and after he was
committed to the Chester jail, 1t was
necessary to call out the military COM
pany to protect him from violence.
He made his escape shortly afterward
and nothing had been heard Of him
since.
Gilmore had been working at the
saw mill since early spring; but 1t
was only a few days ago that his
ter became known to the whites. Mr..
Calvin Pursley was the first man to
make the discovery. He promptly no.
titled Sheriff Logan and the raid o.
Tuesday night was planned at once.
Feeling pretty sure" said Sheriff
Logan in telling about the arrest, "that
If we approached the fellow in day
light, he would run, and knowing the
custom Of the saw mill people I ar
ranged to get there about supper time.
The hands live in little shacks, with
out windows and only one door and
when you come up to the door you
need not let anybody get by you un-
less you want to.
1T turned out about as I expected.
There were the negroes eating supper,
and I began asking first about some
lumber in which Ipretended to be inter-
ested. Then wanted to know wheth-
er any of my old saw mill niggers
were still in the business, and asked
about first one and then another until
In this way we spotted Gilmore. He
did not try to deny his identity, and
we started on for Yorkville with him."
Gilmore Is about thirty years Of age,
ginger cake color and fine physical
specimen, just such q fellow as Is
wanted about a saw mill to do heavy
lifting. Sheriff Cornwell came up
from Chester Wednesday morning and
took the prisoner back to Chester on
the freight train.

WAR IN THE EAST.
Japs Lose Two Ships and Russians
Lose 1000 Men.

News from the far east continues to
come in confused and unsatisfactory
scraps, generally from two days to a
week late.
The most important news Of the past
few days concerns the loss OF two
Japanese ships off Port Arthur, and
reports of a battle in which the Rus
slams are said to have lost 1000 men.
One of the Japanese cruisers, the
Yoshino, was sunk in. collision, all
Of the crew going down except about
ninety men. This was on May Is. On
the same day the Hatsuse struck
Russian mine and went down In half
an hour afterward. Three hundred OF
her crew Were saved, but how many
were los. is not stated.
Some reports have it that four In
stead Of only two Japanese ships went
down during the day; but 1t Is quite
possible that this impression has gain
ed currency on account Of confusion
Of names.
The London Standard Of yesterday,
has story from its correspondent at
Tien Tsin to the effect that there was
a terrific battle on last Monday and
that the Russians were defeated with
a loss of fully 1000 men. This battle
Is said to have occurred at Hsin Yen
Cheng. The Russians retreated, and
the Japanese occupied Kai Ping and
Kai Chan. The Russians destroyed the
railroad behind them as they retreated.
There Is great rejoicing In st. Pc
tersburg on account of the loss of the
two Japanese vessels, the Russians at
tributing the disaster to the interven-
ton Of Providence.

know when its examinations take place.
With the liberal appropriations 1t has
at it's disposal, it can continue to run
even without any patronage whatever
from the public, and without asking
any assistance at the hands Of the
newspapers. But all this is no reason
why the newspapers should give away
that for the sale Of which
they depend for their existence. Un-
less they can get little revenue from
advertisements the newspapers will
find it difficult to raise their part OF
the taxes that are paid for the sup

ALTHOUGH the strictly logical selec-
ton, we are not at all surprised at
Senator Latimer's failure Of election to
st. Louis. Indeed we shall be surprised
if he is reelected to the United States
senate. It seems that when a man
tries to do something else besides talk
he is hoodooed at once, and Latimer
has been trying to accomplish some-
thing of practical benefit for the coun-
try. We fear this thing is going to
last always; but we hope not.

will be mentioned in the st. Louis

there will be enthusiastic applause.
More than that. If Cleveland would

who have been elected to st. Louis
would rather vote for Cleveland than
for anybody else who could be named.

STORIES Of frequent attacks on the
Russians by bands Of Chinese robbers
are interpreted in this country to mean
that China is holding herself ready to
take an active part in the war at the
first favorable opportunity. China
continues to profess neutrality; but
nobody will be surprised when she
comes out openly against the Rus
slams, especially if Japanese success
continues.
