CORN AND PEANUTS.
Exhibit Of BrslOs County Products
Wanted by Southern Pacific.

Dear Strive are very anxious
to secure some extra fine corn and
peanuts for the industrial display
this company will make at various
New York and New England state
and county fairs this fall, com.
mencing with the state fair at
Concord, n. H., on the lst of
September.
We would like TO get one hun
dred extra fine ears Of corn with
the shucks on the corn, ten extra
large corn stalks, pulled up by the
roots with ears on the stalks as
they grew, twelve to eighteen best
peanut vines with the peanuts on
the vines as they grew, one-half
of this number in the large variety
and the other the small Spanish
variety. In shipping the corn
stalks please tie the ears close to
the stalks to prevent them from
breaking off, then tie all the stalks
together and splice the bundle of
stalks with three or four small
boards the length of the bundle.
This will prevent the stalks from
breaking. If you can get these
exhibits, be so kind as to ship
them to me here by Wells.Fargo
Express as soon as possible, not
later than August 25th.
Yours very truly,
(Signed) ]. T. Anderson,

great deal to Brazos county, and
Mr.. Wilson would like suggestions
from any one as to where the finest
specimens in these lines can be
nrocured

CIGARETTE USERS FIND
Arrest and Fine in Indiana
 Towns Uuder New Law

Indianapolis, April 25.-Local off cers throughout the state, acting un- der instructions from police boards, began today the enforcement of the anti-cigarette law, and a large num- Der of arrests is reported of persons found smoking cigarettes or having cigarette paper in their possession. In every case the person arrested was fined, where 9 trial was held, and in the great majority of cases the fines were paid.
 Among those arrested were Profes- sor Gustave Fredericks. leader of Q Richmond orchestra, and John NJ. Lewis. a well-known citizen of Ander- son. The former was fined s25 for smoking a cigarette, and after some hesitation paid the fine. Lewis was fined s35 for having cigarette paper in his possession, and at once appeal ed the case, declaring he would test the constitutiOnality of the law. I; is understood that the tobacco trust is behind his appeal
 Lawyers say the cases today repre- sent the weakest part of the law. and that there is little doubt but i; will be overturned as far as it aD plies merely to persons smoking or having cigarette paper on their per sons. while il may be held constitu tional in respect to dealers.

A Hot Country.

E. Hoffman, who has spent the
mast three years in the extreme southern
hart p of California at Imperial, says he
will hardly return to that section. I'M
nerial is only twelve miles from the
Mexican line, and the great valley sur
connding was once the northern end
If the Gulf Of California, and part of
the great American Desert, although
now, with irrigation, is becoming pro-
ductive and in time will be exceeding
" so. The principal product, says
Mr. Hoffman, is alfalfa, which produces
six to seven crops annually, of some
half ton to the cutting. The houses,
outside Of Imperial, which is built oi
brick, are mostly constructed of a
frame. covered with ordinary chicken
wire or hog fencing. Over this some
hang canvass, but many live the year
round in these coops. The thermom-
eter. last summer for period of foul
months, never failed, during the day
to reach 100 in the shade, and often
went up to 130, point that made life
almost unbearable, and when those
that could, left for the coast until the
temperature moderated. Owing t
this hot weather common farm hand
are paid forty dollars per month an(
board, and, according to Mr.. Hoffman
earn it too. But it sometimes get
cold. He says that on the 18th o
last October three-quarters of an inc
flee was frozen in a bucket just out
side his house. Such, however, is no
the usual thing. AS to the other eS
treme, there is no place on cart
where, during the hot weather, tn
evaporation is greater, it being at I'm
perial fifteen feet per year. A lax

The Cooling Moth.

The following history of the cod
ling moth, published in the last issue
Of the Interstate News, will be inter
esting reading just at this time:
It would seem at this time that suffl-
cient to enlighten the entire world
concerning the ravages, history, life
habits, and control of this, the most
destructive insect known to orchardists
has appeared in print. The subject
forms an interesting one, on account
Of its prevalence in all apple growing
districts. 1t has been a subject OF dis
cussion in every meeting OF horticul-
turists, and legislation has been had IN
nearly every state in the union, touch
ing upon its spread and control, yet
the codling moth continues to thrive,
Notwithstanding the vigilance OF the
legislator and the untiring labor OF the
uit grower and the restless efforts ol
the fruit inspectors.
1t would be Decessary,to delve deep,
far back into history to locate its origin.
Wormy apples are mentioned by Cato
in his treatise on agriculture, written
nearly 200 years before the Christian
era. But the fruit grower OF today Is
not particular as, to its origin, and one
would think that every fruit grove
would ere this time be well postec
concerning this pest and the methods
of fighting and controlling it.
Speaking Of the habits and life his
tory of the moth, Professor SlingerlanS
says:
In northern United States, th'
moth makes its appearance In May ano
the early part of June. The time o
its appearance, however. varies witt
seasons and with the place in which
passes the winter. The female is OF
hand to lay her eggs soon after the tall
ing of the blossoms. The falling G
the blossoms varies with the forward
ness of the season, but the same con
ditions affect also the development
the moth, so that it appears each seas
on at about the same time with relel
ence to the blossom. The moths ar
much more active after dark, and 1t
during the night that most OF the egg
are laid. The eggs are very thlr
whitish or yellowish, and about twer
ty-ffth of an inch long. They are o'
posted anywhere on the apple, on IN
stem or even on neighboring leave
Several eggs may be laid on one apple
One moth may lay only few eggs

With the continued prosperity
that is now blessing this State there
is every indication that the State
Fair for 1905 will be more largely
attended than ever before in it's his
tory. Last year the South Carolina
State Agricultural and Mechanical
Society celebrated it's annual Fair
at its new home in the southern su-
burb of Columbia. As is usually
the case. there were some little de-
tails that could not be finished for
the holding of the last Fair, but
President Guignard has had full
year in which to have all of these
rough spots smoothed out, and the
outlook is that never before in its
history will the State Fair have
more successful Fair than that
which is to be held here on October
24th, 18TH, 26th, and 27th, inclusive.
sThe inquiry for, space at the
grounds, as we'll as from small ex-
hibitors, indicate very general ap-
probation of the value of such ex-
hibits. A great deal of interest is
being shown in the mechanical de-
vices for use in agricultural pur-
suits. From the inquiries that have
been received there will be quite
number of labor-saving devices ex-
hibited, and, of course, all up-to-
date farmers want to see these
things.
There is, however, a far more in
teresting phase of the State Fairs
than the mere exhibits in the build
ings on the ground, and that is the
opportunity for intercourse between
the people of the State that the
State Fair offers. q $50.

The railroad rates are always
cheaper for the State Fair than at
any other time, and more people
come to Columbia duringe Fair
Week than during any other Of the
ffty-two weeks of the year. In fact,
pretty much everybody who is any
body in South Carolina is here dur
ing Fair Week. Relatives, friends
and acquaintances from all parts
of the State gather in Columbia to
talk about the JOYS and sorrows of
the year, ard to join in the festivi-
ties. 1t is the one week that is given
up almost entirely by the people of
tie State towards having good
time, and the family gatherings and
reunions that have already been
planned for the coming Fair Week
all 60 to show that this custom at
each succeeding State Fair is being
more emphasized than ever.
One of the particular attractions
for a great many folks will be the
fact that the $50 cadets of Clemson
College will be enca1nped here dur
ing the entire Fair Week. They
will give dress parades and drills
each day while here, and will have
ample time in which to ningle with
their friends.
A great many people in this
State now are taking keen interest
in football. Two of the best games
of the year are played here during
each Fair Week. In one of these
games the team of the South Caro-
lima College participates, and in the
other Clemson College engages.
Both of these teams are strong and
manly, and two exciting games are
to be expected.
The southern territory is devel
oping a very strong horseracing
field. More and better horses are
brought here to participate in the
races. The finest racetrack in this
territory is at the State Fair
Grounds, and it has been estab-
lished at a considerable expense.
Every comfort for the patrons as
we'll as for the fine racers has been
provided. i
The city of Columbia, in addition
to extending a cordial welcome to
the visitors, has arranged for free
street attractions. Even if there
were no free street attractions, the
people of South Carolina ought not
to miss the chance of meeting their
friends from all parts of the State
IN Columbia on October 24th, 18TH.

Wednesday, October II, 1905.

Doubtless it will be recalled by
zaany readers of the Dispatch that
during the discussion in reference to
the Fork section of the county sn-
nexing itself to Richlsnd county, that
shst county was in debt and its fn-
anoes were in such a tangled condi.
tion that DO one knew, no not even
the Supervisor she total amount.
This statement was denied at the
time it was made by the Supervisor
but the recent result of the special
investigating committee, which has
been investigating the fiscal condiz
tion of the Supervisors Office of that
county, fully snstsins the contention
of the Dispatch id reference to this
matter. It is very fortunate thing
for the people of the Fork chat they
decided to remain in Old Lexington.
To fact We cannot understand why
few of our people are discontented
with their present environment when
Lexington county is free OF debt, its
tax levy is reasonably low and it is
one Of the richest and most prosper.

people would only get together and
work and pull together for the mate

time for malcontents, and there would
no longer be heard propositions to
dismember Lexington county to form
new counties, for every one would be
satisfied With the result OF that effort
