SENATOR TILLMAN.

A good deal Of newspaper talk has
y been indulgcd in about some one to
/ oppose Senator, Tillman for reelection
to the senate and the names of some
good and able men have been suggest
ed, None Of them, however, has said
he would undertake the contest.
The Herald and News has never
supported Senator Tillman in the pri-
mary when he had opposition but this
lis one year we are for him against the
field. There are many things about
him we do not admire but he has abil-
ity and the nation is recognizing that
ability and South Carolina will do
we'll to keep him. in the senate.
At any rate this is one year he
shall have our support and vote what
ever it may be worth against any and
all entries.

1t seems that nothing is to be done
towards cnlarging the public square.
The Herald and News believes the
best thing to do is to widen The Main
street about ten or fifteen feet and
open th6 street through the property
OF tho burnt district that runs by the
opera house aud let it be extended nm
er aear the railroad to the street in front
of Mayer Memorial church. Then
the land on the burnt district be-
tween this street and the inil street
could be purchased by tho city and
! used as Wagon yard. This would
give much more space for wagon
$eyards than we have now and we be-
lieve such an arrangement would add
. more to the appearance of the city
and to the value of property and to
the convenience Of the public than to
purchase the entire burnt square
5sa Besides this il would cost much less
s to do this and the city council could
4 go ahead and do it without vote on
issuing bonds.

Electricity.

The electrical properties OF amber
were known to the Greeks before the
Christian era. Electricity takes Its
name from the Greek word for amber.
Gilbert In 1000 was the first TO employ
the terms electric force" and electric
attractions" In 174S Franklln's elec-
trical researches had progressed so far
that be killed a turkey by the electric
spark and roasted it by an electric
lack before fire kIndled by the cleo
tric bottle, and In 1852 by means of the
kite experiment he demonstrated the
identity of electricity and lightning.
The first magneto-electric machine was
made at Paris by Pixli in 1882; the
first telegraph line In the United
States was set up between Washington
and Baltimore in 1914; the first sub
marine cable was laid between Eng
land and France in 1880. AS early as
1902 Sir Humphry Davy produced an
electric light with carbon points on al
most the same principle as that now
emDloyed. The first electric railway
on the continent of Europe was built
by Siemens at Berlin in 1881, the first
in England was constructed In 1SS2,
and in America the first electric line
was built in 1880.

A man with q curious fondness Tor

THE VIRGINIA STATE BOARD OF
CROP PEST COMMISSIONERS.
Office OF the
State EntomOiogist and Plant
Pathologist.

Blacksburg, Va,
March /, 1906.
To the fruit growers of Virginia:
SIRS-As the time from now un-
I'll the buds begin to push out is very
short, and the dormant season is the
very best time to spray orchards for
the San Jose scale, We wish to urge
YOU to act at once:
With very few exceptions, trees in
tested with San Jose scale will die
unless they aretreated.
1t will spread to the orchards near
and destroy them also.
The law requires all infested or
chards TO be treated.
If you treat the orchard CAREFULLY,
you will be able to check the pest and
keep the trees in good condition.
Treat the entire orchard in which
infested trees are located, for there
may be plenty of scale on trees to
breed and injure them badly before
the summer is over ana yet not enough
to show up to any extent at this time.
The lime-sulphur wash is recon-
mended for this purpose, and should
be made as follows:
Secure an iron kettle that Will hold
about 20 gallons; place over fire and
put four or five gallons of water in it..
When the water gets warm, add 10
pounds of good, quick lime, then, as
soon as Stacking begins, stir with a
wooden paddle or hoe and add 10 10.
of sulphur. Continue to stir briskly
so as TO mix it we'll with the lime, and
add boiling water as needed so as to
bring the mass into a thick paste.
Stir we'll while in this condition and
mash all Jumps, then add five pounds
of salt and enough water to make L
or 10 gallons. BOIL THE MIXTURE
VIGOROUSLY for forty minutes, and
lllcu oLI diu llitO lliC opAog O"AASA N
add water to make so gallons. The
wash will not affect the scale, unless
it is well cooked.
Stir the mixture occasionly while
cooking to prevent it from cakine to
the bottom, and add hot water when
necessary to prevent it from boiling
down to a thick mass. This method
of preparation is suited to small
orchards. A more complete outfit will
be necessary, if large orchard is to
be treated.
Either cold or hot water may be
used in diluting the mixture, AFTER II
HAS FINISHED COOKING, and it is bet
ter to put part of the water into the
spray barrel and pour the lime-sul
phur mixture into it. Spray this mix
ture on the trees so thoroughly as tC
coat every part fully. For further
information, see bulletin l4l with cir
cular 80 attached, or address

Hammers.

Hammers are represented on the
monuments of Egypt twenty centuries
before our era. They greatly resem-

there were no claws oil the back for
the extraction of nails. The first nam
