BR0WN-TAIL MOTH.
A Serions Insect Pest Recently Found in
North Carolina.

The Brown-tail Moth has been
found in North Carolina. This is
a serious insect pest which has
done much damage in Massachu-
setts and other New England
states. where large amounts Of
money have been expended in
combating it. 1t was originally
a native of Europe, and this vim
ter it has been found in many
states on young nursery stock i'm
ported from France.
The North Carolina State De-
partment of Agriculture took i'm
mediate steps to have all French
stock coming into the state in
spected, and while only a part of
the stock ordered has yet arrived,
one nest of the insect containing
many live young caterpillers, has
been found, and probably others
will be found as the inspections
are continued.
1t is hoped that the trouble is
being detected and checked IN the
beginning, but the fact that it has
been found in as many states re-
Gently indicates that it is likely
establishing itself in various parts
of the country, and our people are
warned to be on the watch for it.
Any web.nest the size of a mans
hand or smaller, attached to a
limb or twigs of trees should be
sent to the department for exami-
nation. During the summer close
watch should be kept for any kiud
of caterpillar which is defoliating
frnlt, shade or forest trees, and
should be sent for examination.
1t is more likely to become a pest
in western and piedmont North
Carolina, than in the east.
Specimens should be mailed III
tight, strong, pastboard, wooden
Or tin boxes, with enough leaves
for food for several days, all pack
ages should be wrapped and tied
neatly and should bear the name
and address Of the sender. Mail
them, together with explanatory
letter, to Franklin Sherman,
entermo!oglst, Department of Ag-
rlculture, Raleigh, N. c., and all
inquiries will lie answered by him
or his associates.

Apples In Boxes.

This subject would be threadbare
with all the discussion it has had of
late were it not for the urgency of the
facts. The apple barrel is by nc means
a satisfactory package, especially to
the shipper of good apples. and in spite
Of obstacles the apple box Is making
progress. A larger proportion of last
years apple crop was sold in boxes
than ever before. These facts came
most painfully to the attention Of east
ern apple growers when all through
the winter months Oregon apples in
boxes sold at good prices in all east
ern cities, while New York and New
England fruit was a drug in the mar
ket. 1t was a situation which could
leave no doubt in the eastern apple
growers mind that something has to
be done. Naturally the eastern grower,
who sees his market thus cut out from
under him, thinks first Of boxing his
own apples. He considers also the
fancy packing, trademarking and 9th
ern men are so clever. All the
schemes he must adopt, initiate or
improve. But there is one thing more,
and a very important one, which must
be taken into the account. The east
ern grower must grow better fruit.
Eastern apples are conceded to be of
better quality than Pacific coast stock,
but the eastern grower has relied quite
too much on this single fact. The
western apples are allowed to have
the best color and finish, but again
the eastern grower has taken this esti-
mate too much for granted. The high
quality of New York and New Eng
land apples must be preserved, aug
mented and then advertised. The fruit
must be carefully hand thinned on the
trees in order to get a uniform grade
for box packing. The color and ap-
pearance must be improved by better
care. Western methods Of cooperative
packing, shipping and selling must be
adopted. These are large reforms
here pointed out, and the eastern farm
er is a hard subject for reform, but
these improvements have all got to he
made. Otherwise the Oregon apple
grower will appropriate the entire east
ern market. and the eastern apple grow
ers will 60 into the milk business.

The Waterman and Record Voting Contest.
The Candidates are Getting Busy all Along
the Line and Interest is Increasing.
The Boys are now at Work and While all do not Ex-
pect to Win, None are Willing to Sit Idle.

THE WATcHMAN and Rowan RECORDS determination to give away
one of the best buggies that can be built in these parts, and a splen-
did, high.grade sewing machine, is beginning to attract attention
throughout the ccunty,a and those who see by little extra effort du-
ring leisure hours, is likely to bring to them said buggy or sewing
machine, are now beginning to make telling use of their time. Of
course there is plenty of time to work, but it is not good policy to
wait so long before getting busy in earnest, nor should any one be
discouraged because he is not near the top. Just keep hammering
away ane the final result will show for itself. To those who have
friends in the contest, the opportunity to do them a kindness that
courage him by voting for him, or better yet, pay something on your
own subscription. All OF the contestants are worthy people and will
appreciate any little help that you may extend.
We would advise all candidates to make their greatest efforts TO-
wards securing double subscriptions, two years to either The WATCH
MAN or The RECORD, OF one year to both papers. These papers will
to all intents and purposes answer the readers requirements of a semi
weekly, and those wanting all the news should take them both.
The standing of the Candidates to-day at IL O'Clock is as shown
in the list below. No one should become alarmed because he does
not stand at the head of the list just now. There is Just as much
chance for the last as for the first. The one who stands head at the
end Of the contest will be the winner. The race is not always to the
swift, nor to the strong, but to him that persevereth to the end.

c.. G.. & o. ROAD.

The Herald and News is satisfied
that the people Of Newberry are will
inc and anxious to do anything and
everything in their power to induce
The builders of the c., c. & y. road
to 90 via Newberry in the extension
of their line from Spartanburg to the
coast.
Il in going to the coast it Is decided
10 90 via Columbia, as it probably
will be, it seems to us that 1t would
not require a great deal OF 1nduce'
inert for the road to come via New
herv, To 90 down the Broad river
is only a. few miles shorter than to
come by Newberry and the building
of the road by that route as we'll as
the maintenance would be consider
ably more and in addition to that
there is nothing from Union to Co.
lumbia that would be any inducement
for the building Of the railroad.
The special committee from the
chamber Of commerce hopes to keep
in touch with the authorities and Will
do anything in its power to lnduce
the authorities to come this way, and
it is necessary to have the active and
heartv cooperation Of all the interests
in the city.
As Mr.. Wright suggests we "should
lose no time in arranging some syste-
matte work by which we Will be en-
abled to show the authorities the ad-
vantage of coming by this important
point.''
Every business interest IN Newber-
~ should get together and throw It's
interest towards inducing the road to
come this way, and when we get the
officials down here everybody must be
in position to tell Of the advantages
Of Newberry.
We feel that this is one thing on
which we can have the united support
of all the people Of this community.
