Three Auxunt Pests.


The white nests of the fall wcbworm
are most conspicuous during August.
These unsghtly objects inclosc masses
of Drowned and Skeletonized foliage,
says Professor l.. Z. Felt in the Gar
den Magazine. 1t is easy to cut out
the nest whenever seen at this time of
the year and burn 1t with the caterDil-
lars within, but far more satisfactory
method Is to check the attack at the
beginning by spraying the leaves
thoroughly In the Vicinity Of the nest
with an arsenical poison, preferably
arsenatc Of lead.
Young San Jose scales are now being
produced In large numbers, and conse-
quently the pest will be detected on
trees previously supposed to be free
from the scale. II 1t is at all abun-
dant 1t will be necessary to spray with
either whale oil soap solution or
kerosene emulsion, even though the ap-
plication be only temporary check.
Use whale oil soap solution at the rate
OF about one pound to six gallons, or
the kerosene emulsion, standard for
mula, diluted with nine parts Of water
but what Is used must be applied with
such care as to cover the whole tree.

Tired
Nervous

When you feel ianguid, tired,
nervous and irritable, your vi
tality is low-your supply of
nerve energy exhausted, and
your system running down for
lack of power,
The organs of the body are
working poorly, or not at all,
and you are not getting the
nourishment needed. This soon
impoverishes the blood and in
stead of throwing off the i'm
purities, distributes it all
through the body. This brings
disease and misery.
Feed the nerves with DR..
Miles Nervine, a nerve food, a
nerve medicine, that nourishes
and strengthens the nerves, and
see how quickly you will get
strong and vigorous.
MY wife suffered with nervousness
previous to a recent attack Of typhoid
fever. but after her recovery from the
hardly control herself being exceed
mgly nervous when the least excited.
She was very restless at night, and
never had a good nights rest. She
also suffered much from nervous head
ache. DIR. Miles Nervine was recon-
mended by friend. After the first
three doses she had a good nights
rest, and at the end Of the first weeks
treatment she was wonderfully i'm
proved. Continued use OF Nervine has
completed her entire cure"

Grass Thripa,

Quite n number Of inquiries have
been sent In to the Rhode Island ex-
pertinent station In regard to the dying
of heads Of timothy, redtop and other
grasses. The condition Is properly
known as white top or silver top and
is not uncommon at any time, espe-
cially In blue grass. 1t Is more preva-
lent than usual this year. and q greater
number of varieties of grass are af-
fected. 1t is caused by very small
insect belonging to the class called
thrips. The common name Is grass
thrlps. The dying of the tops Of the
grass stems is due to the work of the
young Of this insect which lives In
side the leaf sheaths, especially the
upper ones. The insect lives by suck
ing tho juices Of the tender tissues, and
the portion Of the plant above the last
Joint Is most liable to attack; hence

seemed to relieve me from pain for awhile, but at

WILMINGTON AND THE Sc
BOARD.

The Messenger said some days ago
that it hoped the new management
of the Seaboard Air Line would re-
cOgniZe the fact that Wilmington is
on it's line and would do something
to better the conditions here. We did
not know at the time that affairs
were near as bad as they were shown
to be at the meeting of the chamber
of commerce on Tuesday. It is an
outrage that the officials of the road
should SO neglect the business of this
city and pay so little attention to the
needs of shippers over their line.
1t must be that they do not care
to do business with our city. 1t has
that appearance. If there is any law
to force this road to do it's duty as
a public carrier it's aid should be
invoked. Whether the company's Of
ficials want to haul freight for the
Wilmington merchants Or not, so long
as they retain their charter empower
ing them to operate a railroad be-
tween this city and other points, it is
their duty to conduct it's affairs in
the interest of it's patrons here to
some extent at least. Railroad COM
panies are not chartered for the pur-
pose of building up certain cities or
sections of the country at the expense
of others. If the officials of the Sea-
board are doing the best they can for
Wilmington and this section of the
state they had better surrender their
charter for this part of the road
and let some other company operate
it who can make better success
at it.

las the democratic organization is con-

ideas and common sense. 1t admits,
however, that the enemy may gain CON
ltrOl if the democratic cause is carried
from its mornings by imprudent lead

lprefers rule to ruin. The latter
I~class," it says, would readily become

mo telling what sort of platform will
lbe framed for 1908 or what kind of a

THAT Mr.. Bryan is nominated a third
time it will require able political ex-
IpertS to determine whether or not the
tlukewarm members will stick. But
they will not stick if we hope to win

lare sick of democratic bossism. They

personal advancement and glory. In
lspite of all that, however, we do not

AIM0SI AS cnMMlh IN SIMMER As m WINTER. :
ALMOST AS COMMON IN SUMNER

While the damp, cold, changing weather Of
Winter intensifes the pains and other disagreeable
symptoms of Rheumatism, it is. by no means a
winter disease exclusively. Through the long
months of Summer its wandering pains and twitch-
ing nerves are felt by these in whose blood the urls
acid, which produces the disease, has accumulated.
Rheumatism is a disease that involves the en-
tire system. Its primary cause results from the
failure of the eliminative organs, the Liver, Kid
neys and Bowels, to carry out of the system the
urea, or natural refuse matter. This coming in
contact with the different acids of the body forms
uric acid which is taken up and absorbed by the
blood. This acid causes fermentation of the blood,
making it sour and unfit for properly nourishing
the body, and as this vital stream goes to every
nook and corner of the body, the poison is distrib-
uted to all parts. The nervous system weakens
from lack of rich, pure blood, the skin becomes fe-
verish. and swollen, the stomach and digestion are
affected, the appetite fails and a general diseased
condition of the entire system is the result.
Not only is Rheumatism the most painful of
all diseases, with its swollen, stiff joints, throbbing
muscles and singing nerves, but it is a formidable
and dangerous tGeubls: + the uric acid IS allowed

ing the police take a census of that

to warrant an estimate of an increase
of forty-three thousand in population
over the figures of the federal census
of six years ago. 1t is expected that
the completed figures will show a pop

thousand. The Sun says the great

upbuilding Of the city; that natural
conditions held the people who went

A HEPBURN TO THE RESCUE
Republicans Becoming Uneasy on the
Tariff Question.

Evidently our excellent friends the
lstandpatters, are gravely concerned
lover the political situation. Massa-
Ichusetts intends to mugwump unless
"the friends of protection" undertake
la revision Of the tariff this session.
THE advocacy Of revision by so able
prominent. n conservative a on
Igressman as Mr.. Perkins is a matter
that BODIES trouble. and possibly evil,
to the stand-pat policy. Governor Cum
minis nay not be doing much out west,
but if he is half as dangerous as he is
NOISY. it behooves the faithful to e a
champion against him.
That the standpatters realize the
lembarrassments, not to say dangers,
lof the situation. is manifest. Some
thine ago they advanced that grim old
veteran, General Grosvernor, against
1.-THE adversary and he made one of the
most skillful campaigns in the entire
history of economic disputation. When
lit became absolutely necessary to in
ldulge in forensic poppycock, he took
lcare to put it in quotation marks, and
lin the entire speech there is no dec
jlaration on his part that makes him
responsible for "argumentS' that some
lof his stand-pat colleagues consider
las same as gospel. or a little samer."
But General Grosvenor cannot do
lall the fighting. and it is resolved to
isend the renowned and eloquent Pete

SITUATION AT HIGH POINT.

The High Point factory men say
the newspapers outside OF that city
are making a great deal more ous OF
the labor situation there than the
state of facts warrant. They say every
thing is moving along smoothly; that
all the factories are running. though
some of them with less than full
complement Of operatives. Both sides
are waiting for developments.
The factory. owners say some Of the
union men have returned 10 work,
that funds are running short with
those who are out; that it takes about
five thousand dollars a week to dis
tribute TO them at the rate of wages
they were receiving at work; that
: soliciting agents have been appointed
to drum the union men in other towns
and cities of the state for financial
aid. They say that if the old men do
not return to work in a few days their
places will not be longer held open
for them, but new men will be en-
ployed.
The union men claim that their
forces are standing firm and that
daily additions are made to the union
and hat they have no intention of
giving up the fight. They say that
coercive measures have been taken
in some instances to induce union men
to return to work. Good order pre-
walls.
Thus matters stand. Nobody can
tell which side has the advantage Or
can predict with certainty which Will
win the final victory.
