of the bugs, together with the bugs
themselves, by deep plowing. Chinch
bugs fly in the fall to bunch-grass,
their natural food before crops were
introduced, to pass the winter. Not
finding the grass, they will hibernate
in any shelter that may be at hand.
During April they fly back to the
crops to mate and deposit their eggs.
Generally the wheat is in prime con-
dition for them at this time, and It
is the crop that suffers most when
the eggs hatch and the young bugs
begin to feed. OF course the great
est damage is done later when the
'broods become very numerous and
begin to migrate to new fields. The
crop moved upon at that time is the
one to save. ..a....... .,..-.. T..
2. Plant trap crop" to protect
the main crop, and when the bugs
move upon the trap, plow the whole
under, bugs and all. This method has
given good results. The trap crop
may be millet, Kaf1r, or sorghum, and
should be on the side Of the field
nearest to the wheat. f..t'.
3. Plow a space of ten feet around
the cornfield when the bugs begin to
leave the wheat, harrow and drag
with brush to make as much dust as
possible. This can be done only in
dry weather. Small, immature bugs
will not be able to cross the ten feet
of dust, and the mature ones will
seldom resort to flying.
4. Later in the season, when the
insects move upon the corn, few
rows cut and piled in armful-sized
piles will attract the chinch bugs, and
if it is warm and the corn heats,
thousands of bugs will die under these
piles from a chinch-bug disease. The
piles of green corn offer the ideal
weather conditions, hot and damp, the
disease being naturally present soon
takes" and the result is the death
of all bugs affected. ., t...
Do not attempt to destroy the
chinch bug by spraying. 1t has been
tried at the experiment station and
by numerous farmers, with the same
unsuccessful results. A few more
tests will be made with sprays, and
the results given if successful. But
until then the farmer has adequate
means at hand to materially lessen
the damages by this pest, by using
| the above methods.
To repeat: BY all means plant a
trap crop and plow it under when
the bugs move upon it In great num-
bers. Plow a dust strip and lay piles
of green cut corn or sorghum in the
path of the migrating bugs. Then
finally, begin next winter to save
your wheat crop, by cleaning up all
places where chinch bugs could hide
away and pass the winter months.

A North Carolina Singer
Young Lady of Greensboro Creates
a Sensation by Her Singing in
Richmond, Va, Church.

A special from Richmond dated
Sept. 9th, says:
Miss Grace Clary, of Greensboro, n. c.,
created distinct sensation at historic
and fashionable st. Pauls church at the
morning service today with her voice.
Miss Clary made a most wonderful i'm
preston on all who heard her. She has
voice of remarkable range and capac-
ity. Madame Reinecke Lloyd, a vocal
teacher among fashionable people, says
Miss Clary's voice is the finest she has
ever heard. This is the first time that
Miss Clary has ever sung in this city.
Miss Clary did not sing at the night SER
vice although many went with the ex-
pectation of again hearing her.
Miss Clary is daughter OF the late
w. j. Clary, and as a young girl she
lived in Henderson, her father being
engaged in merchandising here. The
friends of the young lady will read
with interest the high compliment
paid to her vocal gifts in the above
press dispatch.

Howe's Moving Picures.
Better than Ever this Season, Good
as this Attraction, Which Stands
in Class by Itself, Has Been
Heretofore.

Lyman H. Howe's Moving Picture
Show-or "LifeOrama,f as it lis called
will be seen at Cooper Opera House
next Monday night. Those who have
seen Mr.. Howe's pictures know what
| they are-not to be classed with any
Others. Those who have not seen
them should not miss the opportun-
ity. And it is practically new show
that is presented this season, better
than anything he has yet offered the
public. The Baltimore News of Aug.
2Sth, says:
Lyman H. Howe's moving pictures as
given yesterday afternoon and night ut
Ford's Opera House, are so different from
the ordinary exhibitions of the same
kind, and so much better. that they are
not to be mentioned as OF the same class.
Owing to the perfection OF detail they have
an almost perfect air OF reality Part of
this effect is due to the use of sounds.
such as the swish of water, the buzz Of
voices, the clanking of chains, the crack
OF whips, the cries of animals and the
varied perturbations ofnature Mr.. Howe
has chosen highly dramatic scenes from
all parts of the world, and one sees not
cOunterfeits, but actual pictures from
life. With the more serious displays are
interspersed numerous depictions in good
taste and clever.
Among the features are the regatta
contests and the water scenes in India,
In which the Prince and Princess of
Wales are shown moving in barges.
Another Eastern scene is a series show
ing how elephants are used to do the
work of removing great trees in the for
ests. There are also shown the brilliant
scenes attending the marriage OF Princess
Ena to the King of Spain, with all the
splendid pageantry of the streets. Still
another group of street scenes are those
of the carnival at Nice, with the massive
floats. the masks, the revelry, the merri-
ment and confusion.
Exceedingly graphic are the scenes in
Norway and those showing the wonder
ful craftsmanship OF the cavalrymen OF
the army of Italy, and the final views
are of the eruption of Vesuvius, which
are deeply impressive. The programme
is not only entertaining, but highly in
structive, and greatly pleased the large
audiences yesterday.

Death of a Worthy CoIored Man.

Dave M. Hawkins we'll known and
worthy colored citizen of the town,
died at his home in this place Sat-
urday afternoon. He had been in
declining health a long time and SUI
fered stroke of paralysis about a
year ago, since which time he had
been confined to the house for m lost
part. There was not a better known
or more highly regarded colored
man in the town than Dave Haw-
kins. He was a barber by profession
and conducted ashop for many years
until forced to quit work on account
of failing health. Polite and genie
manly in his bearing, honest in his
dealings, an humble Christian doing
the right as he saw it, Dave Haw-
kins had the confidence and respect
of all who knew him, and there is
sincere regret at the passing OF the
good old man.
In another column his pastor. Rev.
R. l. Walden, pays merited tribute to
his character and worth, and those
who knew the subject OF his remarks
will endorse what is written.

Government Building.
Special Agent of the Post Office
Department Soon to be Sent Here
to Select Site for the Proposed
Public Building.

The following Washington special
to the Charlotte Observer OF Monday
will be read with interest here where
the question is often asked, "What
site is going to be selected for the
post office building?" AS is already
known proposals for sites were sub
mitted and opened Aug. 23rd, and
thus the matter stands for the pres
emit. But We will soon know some
thing more definite. The Observer
correspondent says:
Within the next few weeks j. Knox
Taylor, supervising architect OF the treas
ury, will send to Kinston, Washington.
Salisbury. Fayetteville, Henderson and
High Point, a special agent from his
Office for the purpose of making a per-
sonal examination OF the proposals re-
Gently submitted by people of the places
named for sitesfor Federal building auth
cried by a recent act OF Congress. Not
long since proposals were asked for in
order that those having available sites
for the erection OF government build
ing might submit them to the supervising
architect. These:proposals We're opened
a short time ago and since that time
they have been carefully canvassed.
Those pieces of ground that have ap-
peared exorbitant in price have been
thrown out OF the list of the proposed
sites that will be examined when the in
specter starts to work 1t is the inten-
ton OF Mr.. Tag lor, under the act of Con-
gress and the governing such purchases,
to have every piece of land that has been
offered and that is not considered too
high, carefully gone over in person by an
experienced government agent. After he
has seen the land proposed to be sold to
the government and has carefully con-
sidered the price at which it is offered he
will make his report to headquarters
here. After that Mr.. Taylor will notify
the people owning the land that has
been chosen to prepare their deeds for
the transer to the government.

John Robinson's Show Made Good,

John Robinson's Show exhibited in
in Richmond Monday. The Tmes-Dis-
patch says the show''made good"and
thousands OF people were turned
away at both the afternoon and
night performances. We make the
following extract:
The parade, which was excellent,
reached more than half mile in length,
and was witnessed by something like
10000 to 10000 people. The street
pageant is said to represent an outlay
of a quarter OF a million dollars.
The performance is held in three rings,
an elevated stage, a hippodrome track
and midair arena, and, in fact, SO
many are the attractions shown that it
is difficult to see half of what's exhibited.
In the opening spectacle 800 artists
take part, forming a splendid picture.
Among some of the excellent acts are
the McNutts' Ride with Death, James
Dutton and Winnie Van in their startling
bareback act, the Lucuzon Sisters in
midair, the Flying Banvards and the
Wild West exhibition. In a word, John
Robinson's show kept the promises
made in it's advance notices, and gave
satisfactory and honest performances.
