CANNON MAKES SPEECH.
Speaker of House Of Representatives
Outlines the Republican Plan of
Campaign.

Danville, Ills, Aug. 16.-In accept
ing denomination for Congress at the
hands Of the Republican convention
of the 18th Illinois District here to-
day, Hon. Joseph G. Cannon, Speaker
Of the House of Representatives, de-
livered a carefully prepared speech
in Which he handled in his character
istic fashion, the issues Of the present
campaign. He discussed the prosper
ity of the country as compared with
the hard times during the second
Cleveland administration. He talked
of the glories Of the protective tariff,
praised Roosevelt, took a whack at
the trusts and picked up the gauntlet
thrown down by President Gompers
of the American Federation Of Labor.
He warmly defended Congress from
the charges recently made of un-
friendliness and Indifference to the
cause Of the workingmen.
Mr. Cannon's speech today was ad-
mittedly intended as a keynote from
which other congressional spell-bin-
ers may strike up campaign tunes in
their respective districts.

COTTON RED SPIDER.
I, iHas Done Considerable Injury in the
State.

Washington, Aug. 15.-E. G. Titus,
4,f the department of agriculture, has
recently made a report on his inves-
-gatiors of the cotton red spider in
North a9A South Carolina, Georgia
and Alabama.
injury to cotton by the red spider,
This report says, has been prevalent
in many sections Of the cotton grow
ing area during the past two years.
The cause OF the injury is a minute
s,7ellowish-red mite that feeds on the,
cotton plant, principally on the un-
der sides of the leaves. The mites
usually appear early in the season,
but do little appreciable damage until
midsummer or later. The injuries
rarely become serious unless accom-
panied by long az d continued dry
weather: in such an event the multi
plication OF the mites is very rapid,
and the, consequent injuries are often
sufficient to kill the plants.
The species was first described to
the department Of agriculture in 1900,
and the insects were found in Baton
Rogue, La. IN 1903 and 1904 they
had caused considerable damage
there. The pest is very probably dis
-trsnuted throughout the entire cotton
growing area of the South, although
during late years its appearance IN
injurious numbers had not been re-
-ported until the summer Of 1893,
when it caused considerable damage
to cotton in South Carolina and Geor-
gia- In 1894 red spiders We're found
at Batesburg and il other sections
.pf South Carolina. Duing the sum
;mer Of 1905 many reports OF It's
occurrence were received from points
i'm North Carolina, Georgia and Ala
pama, and in several of these States
the insects were found in injurious
numbers
From investigations made in South
Carolina in 1904 it was noticed that
from a point on the margin OF field
where there were growing large
pokeDerry plants the infestitation by
the red spider had spread over fan
shaped area of the adjoining cotton.
The department believes that when
"a field is found to be infested with
.the spiders that they may be. gotten
rid of by spraying old plants and pull
ing ND or burning the young plants.

one county, his home during his life
time, the scene of some of the most
memorable sacrifices for the cause of
liberty and independence, only one
county, this one, can have his tomb
and it has been undertaken to erect
at the tomb an institution of learning,
which if properly founded and admin
istered, must carry greater honor
and do nobler sevice, in mis- memory
in the long years to come, than all
other agencies combined have done.
Already the military companies that
have taken his proud name have sig
nifed their desire to cooperate in
the upbuilding of the AcadSmy and
we feel satisfied that this is going to
to be done thoroughly by the Sumter
Guards of Charleson and the Sumter
Light Infantry Of the city Of Sumter.
But we call upon all the people in al!
lines of life ard labor in the county,
to watch the career Of this Academy,
to see that teachers OF the proper
spirit and high purpose are kept in
place in the enterprise and that such
pecuniary aid as is necessary to make
it a success shall not be lacking. It
is now that help is needed from the
home people and how glad they all
will be when generous assistance be-
gins to come from many sections of
the country to contribute to the ad-
vancement of the good cause; how
proud they will be that their names
are recorded among those who rem
deed service in the early days, when
the Academy's needs were the sorest.
W trust that our people VIII come
from all quarters to hear Prof. Hand
on the 17th Of September, and assist
in the opening exercises. All the
teachers Of the county are specially
invited. Committees that are work
ing to improve their schools should
send their best wrkers to receive sug-
gestions fom Prof. Hand about the
ways and means of, doing such work.
No effort is going to be spared to
bring large benefits to the enterprise
of rural school improvement in Sum-
te county by this meeting and opening
Gay exercises. Leading men and
thoughtful, earnest women, from
many sections will make short ad-
dresses or read papers relating to the
matter OF such immense consequence
to the county.
