The determination of Household Pests.

directions and tie results of their iutelli-
gent and well-directed efforts have
proved of practical value in almost every
industry from farming down. that is pur-

Peters to be Hanged Cover
nor Refuses to Interfere
with Death Sentence.

1t appears from the following
dispatch from Richmond, Va,
TO the Roanoke Times that Gov.
Swanson, of Virginia, has de-
clined 10 interfere with the death
sentence of George A. Peters,
the man who ran an "original
package" house in Lancaster
some years ago:
George A. Peters, Of Carroll
County, is to hang for the mur-
der of Rev. Joseph Easter, a
Dunkard preacher, who was kill
ed in this county several months
ago. This conclusion was reach
ed by Governor Swanson this
morning after going over the APP
plication for commut alton.
1.-The Governor says he has not
fonnd a solitary thing upon which
he could base any interference
with the sentence of the jury
which tried the prisoner. The
papers have been in the hands of
the Governor for some time and
he has examined into merits of
the case with unusual care.
"Peters, according to the re-
cords in the case, went to the
home Of the minister one night
in May, after the minister had
retired, called him TO the door
and shot HIM down in cold blood
, in the presence Of the mans wife
and children. There was abso
lutely no provocation for the
crime, and the attempt of the de
fence to show that Peters was
drunk at the time fell fiat, the
contrary being proven. Peters
will be hanged on Sept. 90"

Happenings in Georgia.
Former Lancastrian" Tells
OF Pleasant Trip to the
Country---Cotton and the
Crop and Price Outlook
Reflections on Prohibition
LaW---Other Matters of
Interest.

Ed. Lancaster News: After a
delightful say OF several days
down in coed old Pu aski county,
this state, we are back again in
Macon and at our post Of duty.
We were very much impressed
with that part of the country as
a farming section and as 0esira-
bic community in which to live.
The land is for the most part
level, free from rocks and very
fertile. They are well supplied
with timber down there, and
speaking of tall timber, they have
some of the taliest trees there |
have ever seen. They have good
schools and churches, which are
necessities to good community.
The people are clever and hos.
pitable, the neighbors are "neigh-
borly," and the neighbors don't
live at great distance from each
other, either. And roads, gee
whiz, they are fine. One fellow,
seeing how l was impressed with
the good roads, remarked, "You
must not be accustomed to good
roads," told him / was not. |
told him | was raised in a COM
munity where the land was fine,
but the roads were very, very bad.
when the good roads boom gets
well under way In Lancaster
county, however, they, too, will
have good roads.)
The season for the gathering
of the fleecy staple is again at
hand in this state and cotton is
coming in, although it hasn't
started coming in in large quanti-
ties yet. In a few days, there
will tie lots of it coming. The dry,
warm weather which has pre-
vailed over the cotton belt Of the
state for the past few weeks
Causes cotton to open very rapid
ly, and with the ideal weather for
picking, the farmers will most
likely pick it out and put it on
the market as fast as possible
and thereby reap the benefits oi
the good prices which cotton is
bringing now. To-day best cotton
will! bring 124 cents here in this
city, aud this strikes US as being
a good price, although some of the
merchants, ,anda great many Of the
farmers, expect to see 1t sell for
10 cents before the end of the
year. We hardly expect any such
unusual price as that, but we do
expect to see fairly good prices
paid ali through the season, un-
less there is Il tremendous big
crop made, and present indica
tiOns do not point to large
crop. But with Cic present pros
poets for crop and the present
prospects :or good prices, the
good demand for cotton, etc, the
farmers will Be in splendid con.
dition financially, the majority
OF them ; aud therefore, judging
from the present outlook, we
see no good reason for complaint
on the part Of the farmers.
Well, of course, everybody in
