Women and the Suffrage,

The struggle between the vernon
who want to vote but cannot and
those who would not If they
could is less sanguinary and more
dignifed in this country than
abroad. England just now holds
the canter of the stage with it's
mobs of screaming suffragetts sur.
gine around Parliament, but it
may be doubted if this more mas,
culine method # rioting for what
they wish will avail the suffra-
gists more than the educational
methods followed in the United
States. The hope of the movement
lies in it's ability to win to itself

may be readily killed by burning

Be sure that the bugs are Destroy
ed before they migrate to other
feeding grounds.
SPRAYING THE CROP I his meth
cd is of some value, but is not
strongly recommended for use at
this time Of the year. Kerosene
emulsion at Is to 30 per cent
strength will kill many bugs, if it
can be applied so as to cover them
thoroughly. It is recommended
mainly, however, for killing the
small or half.grown bugs during
summer. Where bugs occur on
worthless plants, rure kerosene
may be used with good results so
far as killing the bugs is concern
ed, but the expense will often be
more than would be required by
hand picking.
By following the directions
given above. thousands of dollars
will be saved annually to North
Carolina farmers.

Murder at a Coicken Fight.

Junius Brown has given IS, 900
bond to appear at court for the
murder of John Hafer, at a chick
eli fight in Alexander county
some days ago. A lot of mon had
gathered to fight chickens, the
practice said to be common along
the Observation-Disclosures line, and
stuff to drink flowed freely. It
ended in a fight and John Hafer,
son of Policy Hafer, a well-known
character, was cut to death. At
the trial the murder was placed at
Bowman's door, though there we're
several mixed up in it.

A Strange Occurrence.

A few days ago, near Garner, in
Wake county a horse was eating
from a shock of corn on n side
of a fence and a GOV was ''laping''
her tongue through from the other
side of the fence for some of the
fodder, when the horse, a rather
vicious one, bit the cows tongue
off. The COW was taken to Raleigh
and sold for beef, 1t being neces-
sary to kill her. Beth animals
were owned by J. A. Perry, of
Garner.

Professionalism in Spain.
Times have greatly Changed

Times have greatly Changed in
Spain with regard to Protestant
ism since those experiences of Bor-
row which resulted in his remark
able book, "The Bible in SPAIN"
Yet, though it was possible for
Mrs. Gullck to open her now justly
celebrated school for girls IN San
Sebastian twenty-five years ago,
and for the son of Pastor Fludner
to inaugurate an admirable work
under the very shadow of the Es-
curial in the closing years of ths
last century Professionalism is by
no means free in Spain. Mrs.
Gulick's school was ramoued to
Madrid before her death in 1905,
aud many daughters of noble
Catholic families ha 70 been and
are being educated there; but
when it comes to evangelizing the
common people,, the authorities
still look coldly upon the mission
aries, and the Catholic priests are
permitted to cast all sorts of
stumbling blocks in their way.
Things have come to such d pass
tha5 last month the Reformed
Church of Spain felt constrained
to address a message to the Con-
gress of Deputies, setting forth
the griefs of Spanish Professionals,
who r often subjected by the
authorities to humiliation and dis
abilities entirely contrary to law,
and demanding religious liberty,
in the name of the Constitution.
Among the facts ad3uced in
support of this message is that of
a young man in the province of
Saragossa, who, tor not having
barred his head when the Host
was carried through the streets,
was condemned to ten days. i'm
prisonment, a fine of rs pesetas
and the costs. Another, in an
other village, who was working in
the street when the Host was car.
rled by, and who went o. with his
work without salutihg, was con-
demned to six days. :mprison-
ment, 40 pesetas fine and costs,
all entirely contrary not only to
the Constitution, but to the
statute law.
Religious liberty was decreed in
in Spain in 1868, and immediate-
ly afterward a Protestant Church
sprang into being in Madrid itself
the Evangelical Church of the
Redeemer. 1t had, indeed, exist
ed long before, services being held
in a small hall, at imminent risk

to the pastor, if not to the con-
gregation. With the decree of
religious liberty the little ball be.
came too small for the crowd who
came "to hear what the Protest.
ants had to say" and a church
was built, the first service being
held on January "a, 1869. Reli.
gious liberty soon degeneratcd
into mere tolerance, nevertheless
Protestant doctrines spread;
tenother churches and missions
we're by degrees founded, and
united to form the Reformed
Church Of Spain. A chapel has
lately been opened in Valencia as
an annex of the mother church IN
Madrid, thus carrying out the
long desire of the head of the
church, Bishop Cabrera. whose
benefactions to Madrid have been
many. 1t was in this city, many
years ago, that he found Christ
through the study of the Bible,
and decided to leave the Roman
Church and devote himself to the
Protestant ministry.
Though it is now permitted to
disseminate the Bible III Spain,
there are still thousands who
have never eel Ole. An English
paper, Light and Truth, devoted
to the evangelization of Spain
and Portugal, tells and interest.
ing story on this subject. Sever
al years ago the illustrated news
paper in Spain, "Blanco Q Ne.
gro,' published in it's Easter
number, as something quite new,
the story of the Lords Passion as
narrated in the G ,spel Of John.
The first edit II was Immediately
exhausted, and in view of the
great public interest the editor
announced his intention of giving
from time to time extracts from
the Bible Certain influence,
however, intervened, and it was
years before he was able to keep
his promise. Finally, last Easter,
he published the last three chap
tiers of St. Matthew's gospel, with
illustrations. The edition was
again Immediately exhausted.
During the previous Lent the
Madrid Young Mems Christian
Association inaugurated a series
of meetings which went far to
make generally known the extent
and Importance of the religious
movement which is certainly
going on. The subjects treated

Spain at the Present Time" and

cracy." The large attendance at
these meetings and the applause
with which the statements of
the various speakers were received
clearly showed that the soul OF
Spain has awakened from it's long
torpor concerning things OF the
spirit.
Al interesting illustration of
this fact may be found in the life
of a poet Of great reputation In
his own country, Corros Enrlquez,
who recently died. Obituary
noticesdwelt much upon the sweet
ness and tenderness with which
in his poems he combined all
outspoken detestation of evil IN
all its forms-a hatred which, as
one notice observed, "irresistibly
won every heart and bowed every
head with shame" The secret
both of his tenderness toward hui
manity and his hatred Of evil is
not generally known. but it is
found in his youth he became &C
quainted with the Bible and was
so won by it that for some m ntls
he acted as colporter of the Bible
Society. Alth Oh this was only
an episode of his youth, his whole
life was inspired by an ardent de-
sire for the religious It formation
of the people of Spain.
Notwithstanding a very general
attitude of hostility toward Pro-
testanJs, it is therefore evident
that the leaven Is at work, even
in the land of the Inquisition.
The fact is the more important
because even in Spain there is at
present a growing movement of
hostility to the Vatican, and to the
religious Orders-greatly aug
mented in number since this dis
establishment of the Church in
France. 1t is happy thing for
Spain that Professionalism ia thora
to show that atheism is not the
only refuge from Rome.

SUPPRESSION OF TERRAPIM BUGS.
Also Known as Fire Bugs, Calico Bugs,
Harlequin Bugs and ColIard Bugs.
SOME IMPORTANT FACTS.

SOME IMPORTANT FACTS.
As the remedial measures given
below are based upon certain vul.
nerable points in the life history
of this insect, the following i'm
portant facts are given:
/. Terrapin bugs hibernate
during winter IN the adult stage.
2. They may now be found on
collard, turnip, cabbage, kale and
other cruciferous crops; as we'll as
occasionally en- other plants.
8. Terrapin bugs feed on the
plant juices, obtained by means
of a slender pointed beak. Hence
they can not he poisoned with ar
senical sprays like Paris green.
4. Each individual may lay
from ten to fifteen masses of
twelve eggs each, or from one
hundred and twenty to n hun
dred and ifty-six eggs. Occasion
ally a greater number are laid.
5. The period of egg-laying
lasts for about two months. In
spring, the eggs require about
eight to eleven days to hatch, but
only three to four in hot weather.
6. There T only three full
broods annually, but some bugs in
all stages of development may &C.
cur in the fields as late as Novem-
Der.
Z. The bugs which become
adults after about September 1 do
not lay eggs the same fall, but
live over winter and produce the
first spring brood.
8. Every adult female terrapin
bug destroyed this fall might, if
allowed to live, produce over one
hundred bugs next spring.
WHY THE ABOVE FACTS ARE OF
The above facts are pertinent
and some, especially numbers 4,
6 and Z, r new, and have been
obtained by the writer as a result
of a careful study of the terrapin
bug-its habits and life history
during the present year. This
work shows quite conclusively
that the farmer has a good oppor-
tunity to prevent a large part of
the annual loss of thousands of
dollars caused by the deteriora.
tion in the value of crops attack
ed 10y this destructive pest. The
opportunity c%enters on the fact
that all bugs maturing after
Carolina watchman. [volume] (Salisbury, N.C.) 1871-1937, 1908-11-11
about September 1 dc not lay

about September 1 dc not lay
eggs the same season. If all the
adult bugs present during Septem-
Der, October and November did
lay eggs continuously. it would be
a never ending task to collect or
to destroy them by spraying. The
mature bugs are not easily killed
by a contract spray like kerosene
emulsion, although it will kill
most of the young ones. Only a
few eggs would be killed by spray
ing.
Those facts are presented at this
time in order to stimulate farm
ers and gardeners to fight the ter
rapin bugs now during the first
days of November. It matters
not whether the bugs are present
in small or large numbers. It is
certain that the bugs will have to
be fought next spring and sum-
mer if they are not destroyed now,
and just consider how much easier
is IS to catch and kill one terrapin
bug at this time than it will be to
wait and destroy her progeny next
spring, numbering, perhaps over
one hundred.
HOW TO DESTROY THE BUGS.
In the opinion of the writer
there are only two effective meth
DDS of destroying terrapin bugs:
one being hand picking. and death
by crushing OF dropping in kero-
sene, aud the other the use of a
contact spray like strong kerosene
emulsion, that will kill all the
bugs it can he made to touch.
HAND P1cK1NG.-Unless the
bugs are very numerous, hand
picking is the most practical rem.
edy. Children may do the work
as we'll and even faster than grown
persons. The bugs may be col
lected quite rapidly by picking all
in sight and then shaking the
plants and collecting those that
drop. This work should be done
on warm, sunny days, when the
bugs are not in hiding, and one
should not expect to get all the
first picking. 60 over the lnfest-
ed plants two or three times, and
on different days. The results
from one thorough picking will,
however, fully repay the farmer
for his time and cost.
In fields in which the infected
crop is of no further value, the
plants may be pulled and piled in
small heaps and left a couple of
days until the terrapln bugs con
gregate Oh them, when the bugs
