INSECTS THAT CAUSE
Enormous Loss to the Farmers-Do
Not Allow Insects to Multiply.

The potato bug Is estimated to
have cost the farmers of the United
States last year $S,0O0,000; the army
worm cost 5000, 1000; the boil Wee
vii $20,000,000; the San Jose scale
| $1O,OOO,O00; the coddling moth and
the grasshopper s50,00O,OOO. Now
| here Is an annual loss of $123,OOO,-
900. besides what other insect pests
have done, and the situation is grow
ing worse. 1t will cost lot Of money
to organize the force and knowledge
of science and wage war of exter-
mination on these foes of the farmer.
But 1T will cost more not to fight.
Some farmers are terribly wrought
up at times at the cost OF public ser
vice In their behalf and to hear them
talk one would conclude they thought
1t would be cheaper to die than to
live. Nevertheless most people pre-
fer to live and make the insects die.
The editor Of the Southern Cultiya-
tor, commenting on the above, says:
Our individual farmer is not pre-
pared to take in the enormous loss
annually caused to our farming in
terests in the United States from in
sect pests. We are up against 1t, and
1t becomes us to prepare, both by
having the knowledge of the methods
best adapted for their distinctions;
and also to equip ourselves with the
necessary spraying apparatus. We
are confident these figures Of the GOV
ernment are not over-drawn. And 1t
has reached a point that If we would
thrive. these insects must die. 1t is
wise policy to declare warfare upon
them to determination If possible. Do
not allow any Of these injurious in
sects to multiply upon your farm.
XIII all the potato bugs, harlequin
bugs and coddling moths you can be-
fore they multiply in such quantities
AS to destroy your crops. The fruit
man should watch for the first ap-
pearance Of the San Jose scale. In
fact. it Is better to spray to prevent
the scale from getting a start.

SENATORS NOT GENTLEMEN.
Such Is the Ruling of President Akin,
of, ,Georgia-The Ruling Stands.

(Atlanta Georgian, August 15.)
When is a man not gentleman?
When he becomes a member of the
Georgia Senate.
At least this is President John w.
Akin's ruling, and up to the present
there has been no appeal from the
ruling of the chair on the point.
Enthusiastically and without equivo-
cation President Akin has ruled that
when a man reaches the Georgia SEN
ate he is no longer gentleman"
regardless of his past standing in
that respect, and that ne Is only Sen
|ator"
Issue arose Tuesday morning when
Senator Hardman was under fire
while discussing his bill for the regis
tration OF trained nurses. Senator
Camp and Knight had offered an
amendment which provided that
nothing in this act shall be con-
strued to prohibit the author of this
bill, DR.. Hardman, from having two
nurses, trained or in process of train
Ing, to attend him when necessary"
Senator Knight was in disputa-
tious mood. He launched his shafts
at the head of Senator Hardman
adroitly. But he slipped. Not once
did he refer to him as 1.-THE Senator
from the Thirty ,hird," but always
MS 1.-The gentleman"
UP rose President Akin and, gaveI-
ing the body to decorum, sternly pro-
mulgated:
Il regret exceedingly to call any
member Of this body to task but when
there is open violation Of the rules of
this body and of the principles of par
liamentary uses, it Is my duty to do
so. I have observed a disposition on
the part of some Of the Senators, and
particularly of the Senator from the
Sixth, to address their remarks to a
member o. this body as the gentle
man. There are no gentlemen in
this Senate. When one Is elected to
this body and comes upon this floor,
he Is no longer "a gentleman und..'
the rules, but a Senator Please OBJ
serve the proprieties in the future"
He came mighty near using the ta-
booed word, but after hesitation of
u breath, concluded-'Senators.
Eyes, sir" said Senator knight,
weakly, and sank into his seat with
n look Of bewilderment in his eyes.

Restocking Lake TOXaway.

Lake Toxaway, n. G.. August 90
Over $1,000 rainbow trout were de-
posted in Lake ToXaway Friday af-
ternoon by the Bureau of Fisheries
of the United States government.
The fish were brought from Johnson,
Tenn, and their average length was
about three and one-haIf inches.
Lake ToXaway has been alive with
fish this season and the lovers Of the
rod and reel have had the sport Of
their lives pulling the beautiful noun
tain trout from the waters Of Lake
Toxaway. Several large catches have
been made recently, and, taking 1t al
together, the fishing this season has
been better than ever known before.

Pure paint Is lead-zinc-and-oil but

Giving Away Young Trees.
(From Arboriculture.) }


About ten years ago l was in vir-
ginia during the apple-gethering sea-
son. Barrels were scarce in the re-
gion, every cooper shop and every,
cooper was working night and day to
supply the demand for barrels, while
men were securing the mountains
for hickory poles with which to make
hoops. Nearly all these barrels were
then hooDed with hickory poles.
Commission men buying apples
sent to other States and barrels were
hurried into the apple region in vast
numbers. / saw an entire train of
forty cars arrive upon one occasion
which was entirely laden with hick-
|ory-hooped slack barrels--320 to
each car, and ten hoops on every bar
rel Here at one time were seen 49,
500 barrels, for which there had been
sacrificed $4,000 living hickory trees.
In few years time these trees
would have been capable of supply
Ing 25,000,000 carriage spokes, the
price Of which now, So a thousand,
would realize $4,000.
The farmers who permitted this
sacrilege of cutting out the young
hickory which had made rapid strides
toward salable lumber trees received
for this train load Of their trees less
than $400.

CANDIDATE FOR SOLIuITOR.
Something of the History of Nj. G.
Long, of Anderson.

e. rom the Anderson InteIligencer. }
1t appears that the political pot, SO
far as the race for Solicitor OF the
Tenth Judicial Circuit is concerned, is
beginning to boil rather prematurely.
However, If The boys prefer mile
heat instead of \ half mile, it Is up to
their wind and not ours.
So far, only on candidate from our
county has declared himself. Our
friend and tow0sman, M. C. Long, as
pires to The ot7ce. Naturally, we
would wish him success, because he
Is ours. And when we are informed,

lily, that Of a widowed step-mother
and half-brother and sister were
thrust upon him by the death of his
father, whom he has not only sus-
tanned comfortably, but educated, ris-
Ing hraself from plowboy to that Of
Court Stenographer and admitted to
the practice of law, there Is some
thing commendable in him, and we
predict there will be something doing
ere this and vote counting time.
He was law clerk for three years
In the office Of Hunt, Hunt G. Hunter,
OF Newberry, 8. c., one Of the lead
ing law firms Of upper Carolina, un-
der whom he read law, before his ap-
pointment to the office of Court Ste
nographer OF this circuit, succeeding
the Hon. Wyatt Aiken. He has since
efficiently discharged the duties of
that office.
His knowledge gathered from his
observation as stenographer, and the
actual working of the Sessions Court
will avail him much In the discharge
Of the office of Solicitor, IL elected.

THE FARMERS PICNIC
AT Oakway, in Oconee, and Oakdale,
i'm Anderson.

Iokeena, August 23-Special: AS
this Is the season of picnics and gath
rings of various kinds will give your
many readers sketch of the most
prom ent ones l have attended this
summer. namely: Oakway and Oak
dale, in Anderson County. Oakway
was represented from all portions OF
the county and many from anderson
county. We noticed many Of the
prominent business men of the coun-
ty mixing and mingling with the most
important factors of our great coun-
ty-the farmers. We were glad to
see it, and hope that they will stand
hand In hand till this great fight that
is now on will be won. AS to the
numbers here 1 would say there were
near two thousand. We had speeches
from Harper, Bracket, Stribling and
Harris, and they were good on all
lines discussed
The dinner was all that could be
expected at bastet dinner. The af-
ternoon was enjoyed by the young
people at the base ball game. Don't
know how 1t ended, as we don't know
the beginning from the ending.
At Oakdale.
Now for the one in Anderson county
On the morning of the 23d we were
on our way early and arrived at Oak
dale by 9 a. m. Church and school
house are beautifully located among
the sturdy oaks, with splendid we'll
of water In the center, around which
the ladies had stand to sell ice
cream for the Improvement of the
schoolhouse. The =, stand for the
speakers was decorated with field
crops and flowers appropriate to the
occasion, for 1T was strictly farm
ers' meeting held by the Oakdale
Union. The worthy president, James
Broyles, acted as manager of the
| occasion, and 1t was an admirable
affair. l have never seen a better
arranged program and more cordial
invitation extended to all to come
and partake Of the bounties of the
land which were placed on the table,
3 100 feet, laden from end to end
with the best of the land.
The Program
on this occasion was as follows, and
was carried out to the letter:
Prayer by Rev. ]. r. Earle.
Speech by T. l.. Wakefield of An
derson. Subject, THE Farmers
Union"
Speech by ]. e. Boggs, of Pickens,
after which dinner was served, #. C.
Ligon returning thanks.
After dinner song by five farmers,
Wakefield leading hymn, "Hold the
Fort" after which Hon. ]. B. Wat
son took the stand and gave a most
eloquent address.
All of the addresses were of the
finest.
After the closing address the table
was filled with watermelons Of the
finest kind and all Of the eating! L
never saw the like. Think of 1900
persons eating melons at the same
time.
This ended one of the most enjoy
able picnics have ever attended

PRESIDENTS SONS.
Ten Out of Twenty Have Won Unu-
sual Distinction.

Strictly speaking. only TWEEN y-ons
Presidents sons, concerning whom
there are available records, have
grown to manhood, says the Ohio
Magazine. t...
Six Presidents-Washing Mad
ison, Jackson, Polk, Buchanan, Ga
bachelor), and McKinley-left no
children.
Two-Jefferson and Monroe-left
daughters only. President Johnson
had only two sons, both died before
he was President, and so do not
count
The sons of thirteen Presidents
John Adams, John Quincy Adams,
Van Buren,, William Henry Harrison,
Tyler, Taylor, Fillmore, Lincoln,
Grant, Hayes, Garfield, Arthur and
Beniamc Harrison-haye lived to
mans estate the SONS of Cleveland
and Roosevelt are still boys.
OF the twenty-one Presidents sons
who have reached manhood, nine
have bulked large in the p, hlic eye
on their own account, and all but one
or two have been solid, substantial
citizens. s
The prominent nine are John
Quincy Adams, President, diplomat
ist and representatives; Charles Fran
els Adams, publicist and statesman;
Robert Tyler, register of the Confed-
crate Treasury; Richard Taylor, who
served with distinguished gallantry
on the Confederate side of the civil
war; John Van Buren,, prominent in
State politics and Just entering ma
tional politics when he died; Robert
Todd Lincoln, cabinet minister, dip
lomatist and president Of "a world
famous corporation; Frederick Dent
Grant, diplomatist and general in the
army; Henry A. Garfield, lawyer,
banker and professor Of politics in
great university, and James r. Gar
field. State Senator, United States
Civil Service Commissioner, Commits
sioner Of Corporations in the Depart
ment Of Commerce and Labor, and
Ao" Sh SAS >oplhSL OSCl0ldIy OIL
the Interi.r.
Besides the nine who have climb
ed SO high, there is John Scott Harri-
son, who had the unique distinction
OF being the son of one President
and the father of another. He was a
man of force and of great influence
In his own State, though he was not
a prominent figure IN national
sense. Counting him in-and he
surely made good" as the saying is
ten, or less than half of the Pre-
sidents' sons who have reached man
hood are entitled to be named on the
roll of honor.
Practically all of the Presidents
sons who have grown to mans estate
have been good citizens; their lives
have been clean, wholesome, and
credit alike to their parentage and
their country, while ten Of the twen-
ty have won unusual distinction.
1t would be hard to find any other
class of prominent citizens whose
sons have done as well as those Of
the Presidents.
