wEEvM is A DEAD BEAT,
And Is Coming Eastward on Passen-
ger Cars from Texas.

Columbia, October 26.-D. N. Bar
row, of Lake Charles, La, who is at
work in this territory as general as
sistant to DR.. s. A. Knapp in the Far
mers' Cooperative demonstration
work OF the Department of Agricul-
ture, was here to-day, and in talking
In State Superintendent Of Educa-
tion Martins Office of the probability
of the boil weevil reaching South
Carolina in the near future said that
1T was a surprise to him and others
who had had much experience fight
ing the boil weevil that it had not al
| ready reached this State.
1T Is travelling steadily eastward
at the rate of SO or 60 miles a sea-
son, but it flies this distance. This
weevil is a dead beat on trains. I
have myself noticed them in passen-
ger coaches in Texas. And only a
pair oI them is NECESSARY TO start the
devilment in this State, they propa-
gate SO rapidly"
Explaining how the importation of
the Guatemalaen ant to sting out the
weevil had proven failure, Mr.. Bar
row said that the trouble with this
rant was not so much that 1t did not
discriminate between the weevil and
the field hands, but that it was not
used to this country and did not
prove an effective enemy to the wee
vii. .. s.... ......,... . .
Speaking of his experience in as
sisting in a quarantine experiment
against the weevil in Louisiana, the
expert farmer said that the old theo-
ry was that the weevil did not fly ex-
cept from plant to plant. On this
theory the Louisiana Legislature
tried to cut off the weevil by drawing
belt several acres wide across i'm
mediately in front of this advancing
army, no cotton being allowed in this
belt. One bright morning the weevil
was found by the millions in fields
60 miles east of this point. The ad-
vance guard of the army flew that
far in a night.
The only way to checkmate the
weevil, so far the Agricultural De-
partment has neen able to discover,
Is to plant early a rapidly maturing
kindSof cotton and get the bolls ma
tured before he comes on the scene in
| the spring, being careful in the
time to burn all stubble in the fields
in the winter and plow them deep at
! the same time. t

Anderson to Lose Popular Pastor.
(From the Daily Mail.)

Rev. ]. D. Chapman, D. D., who
has been the pastor of the First Bap-
tist church of this city for the past
eight years, submitted his resigna-
tion to the congregation yesterday,
to take effect on December 1st.
Several days ago it became known
that DR.. Chapman had received a call
from the First Baptist church at VAL
dosta, Ga. He visited that city last
week and went over the church field
there and decided to accept the call.
The congregation of the church
here are 10th to give up DR.. Chapman
and his estimable family, and it is
very probable that an effort will be
made next Sunday to have them re-
main in Anderson.

ex-governor Of Idaho, exgamber, and
