Llme-Sulphur Wash for San Jose Scale.

The following facts and figures
have been furnished the COURIER
by Mr.. j. l.. Phillips, Entomolo-
gist at the Virginia Experiment
Station, at Blacksburg, and will
be found of great value:
Our experiments with caustic
soda during the past year indicate
That 1t Is almost useless against the
San Jose scale. Used at a strength
of Il pounds to one gallon of water.
1t proved ineffective against the
pest, while it injured young apple
trees seriously. 1t was also found
that none of the patent washes
known to us could compete favor
ably with the cooked lime-sulphur
wash in cost and efficiency. For
formula and method of preparation
and application of the lime-sulphur
wash, see bulletin al of the Vir-
ginia Experiment Station.
Recent quotations from whole
sale druggists indicate that sulphur
can be obtained in barrel lots at q
to ) cents per pound, and as lime
is cheap, this wash can be prepared
at reasonable cost. Growers should
send in their orders for sulphur as
soon as possible, in order to get it
at a reasonable price and avoid
delay.
We wish tu impress upon fruit
growers the necessity of cooking
this wash vigorously for at least 35
to 40 minutes. While the so-called
uncoOked wash can be prepared in
covered barrels with hot water and
the heat generated by the Stacking
lime, much of the sulphur is left
undissolved, producing a very poor
wash. Besides it is necessary TO
heat the water, and in this way
practically as much time is con-
stunned in preparation, as in the
regular method of cooking over a
hire. All things considered the
method of cooking over a fire is bv
far the most certain and reliable
method for preparing this wash.
The addition of caustic soda to
either the cooked or uncooked
wash, while adding considerably
to the cost, has not proven of any
practical value in our work, and is
not recommended.

The family Of Mrs VI. l. Bobbitt of

Ready fOrDeath.

BENJAMIN Lippkin has made his
peace with his Maker and has an
nounced that he holds no grudge
or animosity toward anyone, and
that he is ready to die.
The scaffcld has been prepared
by Sheriff Smallwood and will be
concealed from the public gaze by
large tent. The ScafTold is one
formerly used hy the authorities
of Jefferson county, w. Va, and
the rope was furnished 10y the
authorities of the District of
Columbia. after being thoroughly
stretched and tested. The rope
was an inch hempen rope, but the
stretching and testing process has
reduced the size of it to about
thrce-fourths of an inch.
The scaffold is one of the most
complete Of its kind. is made in
sections, fastened together with
bolts. and can be taken down and
laid away for future use.
Last Sunday afternoon large
number of people were present at
the Jail and religious services were
held for the condemned man. A
number of Lippkin's friends who
live at a distance came TO bid him
goodbye, and the parting seemed
to affect his visitors more than it
did Lippkin. He seems to have
absolutely no fear or horror of the
death to come TO him, and is per-
fectly resigned to his fate.
He has been accepted as n MEM

man is the pastor, and his profess
sion of faith seems to make him
feel perfectly safe in his salvation.
BerryvilIe will probably see one
Of the largest gatherings in her
history on the day of the execu-
tion, as the session of Circuit
Court and the unusual fact Of an
execution will draw everyone who
can possibly get here.
Admittance To the execution will
be entirely by card. and IL is
thought from present indications
that not more than $50 people will
see the execution. That is a very
small number As compared To the
number who usually witness exc
cutions in the State, but the en-
closed tent will prevent many wit
nesSes who would otherwise view
the hanging from the roofs of adj
Joining buildings.
The entire execution will be in
the hands of Sheriff Smallwood
and his deputies and such others
as the Sheriff may summon to as
Sist.
After the physicians have pro-
nounced life exstinct, the body will
be taken down and turned over to
Llppkin's aged parents for burial.

Mr.. Finley is an honored ex-
confederate who CALAMITY followed

Chamblin Trial,

Before a jury composed of

X. {. Carter, T. J. Mesmer, X. f..
Brown and Charles Stuart. the
trial of James Chamblin, charged
with the murder of Flora Alexan-
der, Is now progressing in the
Circuit Court.
Chamblin is very light mulatto
and could easily be mistaken for a
dirty white man. He is above the
average height and is well develop
ed. He has very large firm hands.
and sits in the dock holding his hat
like n casual visitor. His eyes are
brown and very shrewd. He fol-
lows the progress of the case AS
closely as any of the attorneys, and
has frequent whispered confer
ences with his lawyers.
The courtroom has been crowded
with spectators during both night
and day sessions, and interest has
been very close.
a majority of the spectators
have been negroes, and a large
number of the witnesses are of
that race.
The witnesses so far introduced
have been by the prosecution.
which Is represented by Messrs.
W. I. Lewis and Conrad Kownslar.
The defense is represented by
Messrs. r. +. Byrd, c. VI. Broun
and :. j. c. Moore.
The facts brought out by the
witnesses thus far introduced are to
the effect that Flora Alexander
was found murdered on the morn
ing of September 9. Chamblin had
been living with her for about a
year. Hampton, an old negro.
who occupied the upper portion of
the house, heard shots and heard
the girls cry of James. The
wounds were described by DR.. A.
+. Osborne. One bullet entered
the upper third of the left lung
and caused death. The other bull
let glanced from the right breast
and entered the floor. 1t was i'm
possible for the woman to have
killed herself.
Letters were introduced to show
the handwriting of Chamblin and
the girl. A letter found in the
room which purported to be a
letter written by the girl in which
she said she would kill herself. was
proven to be in the same handwrit-
ing as one written by Chamblin
since his Incarceration in Jail here.
+. b. Hay, the noted handwriting
expert, testifying to that effect.
1t was proven by several wit
nesses that the dead girl could not
write legibly, while the letters in
trOduced bearing her reputed sig
nature were very plain and legible.
The case of the prosecution is
based to a large extent upon the
theory that Chamblin wrote all the
letters himself, and the fact that
the letter written by him in Jail is
in the same handwriting. bears
this contention to an almost moral
certainty.
The case will probably be COM
pleted tomorrow.
