To the Editor Of the Times, Wilson
N. c.:
Dear Sir:-I wish to inform you Of
a new discovery of an irish potato
bug. [ guess hat I raised forty mil
lion this year; they anne through the
ground with the sprout. They were
seen as small insects on the eyes Of
potatoes when cut and planted, and
when the pOtatOe SprOuted and came
through the earth he was setting upon
it: tina was a great to every
one. The mex surprise to me was my
cabbage farm-they were the largest
heads ] ever saw, n the roots were
perfect turnips. Some said they were
big roots, but they were not; they
were turnip roots. Isn't that making
them right-cabbage heads and tur-
nip roots.
Yours respectfully.

Tobacco as a Money Crop.

Colonel c.. E. Webb, in his Southern
Tobacco Journal, this city figures out
that in 1883 North Carolina produced
36.375,258 pounds of leaf tobacco. and
that it averaged IA cents q pound. He
estimates that the 1909 crop will ag-
gregate 100000, 600 pounds and hat
it will average ten cents a pound
While these figures show a difference
of 4 cents pound in these two Pc
RODS, they also give an idea of what
proportions the tobacco industry Of
his State has grown and what an I'M
mense amount Of money is paid out
annually to the farmers who grow
the weed.

Dainty Graduation FrOcks.

Graduating costumes are now
beginning to receive attention and
very charming are some Of the mo
dels seen in the shops and at the
fashionable dressmakers. All sorts
of sheer materials are used for the
purpose trimmed with laCes and
embroideries galore. The smartest
models are made in the princess
and emi-princess styles. A sim
pie and easily made yet very lovely
frock ofthis sort is of white batiste,
lawn or India linon with a front
panel of the material running from
the hem to the lace yoke and bor-
dered by bands of lace insertion.
Sometimes this panel is plain, at
others it is pin-tucked from top to
bottom or set off by lace medalions
or crossed strips Of insertion. A
sash of white ribbon starts under a
fiat rosette at each side of this panel
and is knotted gracefully in the
back.

New Ideas in Sleeves.

Some of the hot weather frocks
are made with short sleeves but by
far the largest number have sleeves
coming down. to the wrists. The
very latest feature in sleeves is the
breaking out into small putfs at
the elbows and wrists. In some
models where the sleeve is three
quarter length it is extended by a
small under-pufing of sheer ma
terial; this putting being in the fa-
miliar bishop effect completed by a
tight band at the wrist. Evening
gowns are made with very short
sleeves or almost no sleeves at all
tho few models have tight fitting
transparent sleeves Of net.
Milford chronicle., 1909-05-07

Many of the very newest and
prettiest of the thin dresses intend
ed for hot weather wear are made
.collarless and cut slightly round or
square at the neck and completed
simply by an insertion and with a
tiny frill of Valenciennes or Cluny
or perhaps by a round Dutch col
lar. This fashion is GOODNESS and
comfort personifed and if woman
possesses a plump and pretty neck
it is distractingly becoming, but,
on the other hand, the maiden
whose neck is thin and bony should
avoid this mode like the plague as
she will find it most dishguring.

Silk and Lace Coats.

Silk coats form the very smartest
possible sort of separate wrap this
season. Moire, faille and Ottoman
silks are used for the more elegant
varieties, while the cheaper coats
are of taffeta.
Black lace coats are something
entirely new. They are usually
cut it three-quarter length and lin
ed throughout with tafeta. White
lace coats are also seen. Coats in
natural color pongee are very fash
ionable. They are finished in black,
pale blue, green, red or brown silk
collars and cuffs.

ATTEMPT TO RUN
THE OPEN SHOP
Reopening of Hat Factories
Not So Successful As
Anticipated.

New York, Feb. a.-Sixty-five hat fac
tories throughout the county, which for
merry employed $500 hat makers, were
expected to open today as non-union
shops. Today's reopening of the facto-
ries was the test Of the employers to
operate their shops without union men.
Reports from DanbUry and South Nor
walk. Conn. and Philadelphia, were to
the effect that the factories had been re-
opened as "open shops" but action was
delayed in Newark, n. J.
In Brooklyn a factory reported that
fourteen men had been engaged where
formerly so union men were employed.

been announced that the hat factories
in the Newark and Orange districts would

ais. but it was not reported that any ap-
plicat tons were received from members

GRAVE MISTAKES
NOW APPARENT
Leading Senators Believe Pan
anna Canal Should Be Sea
Level-S0me Estimates.

Washington, Feb. s.-TBe entire ques-
ton Of the type Of canal that should be
adopted in the construction of the Pan
anna canal was before the senate today,
Senator kittredge, chairman of the COM
mittee on interoceanic canals. Senators
Foraker and Teller all declaring that
they believed a grave mistake had been
made IN adopting the lock project The
discussion grew out of report By Mr.
Kittredge on the bill increasing the limit
OF cost for the canal to So0OoG.o0 and
authorizing the secretary OF the treas
ury TO issue bonds to that amount Mr.
kittredge said the canal committee dis
approved Of the proposed issue of bonds
and he read a statement showing that
expenditures on account Of the canal to
date have been s177.964 45S
Senator kittredge said that while the
engineers Of the canal zone had originally
placed the cost of lock canal at S13a, 600, :
COO they had now increased their esti-
mates to S400.0e0000. whereas it had been
estimated that a sea level canal could
have been built for Sal, 10000
DIR. kittredgs said the lock canal had
not progressed so far that it would now
be impossible to adopt the sea level type.
Senator Teller thought a sea level ca
nal could be constructed more cheaply
than lock canal and would be far less
dangerous IN its construction.

The report says a system by which ap-
peels may be taken from judicial deci-

courts in the United States is necessary
AS there is little litigation in the zone
the report says there is no necessity for
three Judges Of the supreme court there
as at present, nor for the court at ali, If
appeals be otherwise provided.
The discussion brought out the fact
that President-elect Taft had been con-
suited concerning the provision giving to
the president absolute authority in the
matter Of construction OF the canal and

the same poise that she exhibited YES
terday. Many of her answers were so
direct that the attorneys for her hus-
band, W. J. Lemp. jr., were almost non

places in the court room that extra
bailiffs were required to handle the
crowds. late-comers being formed in

have been taken by Mr. Lemp, and the
cToss-eXamination ended. On redirect
examination, Mrs. Lemp was ques-
toned further regarding the alleged as
sault upon her by her husband, to
which she testified yesterday.
She asserted that she did not divulge
the true cause of her injuries at the
time, eoneealins them even from her
father, because she was ASHAMED of
it,
Mrs. Lemp was questioned especially
about an ante-nuptial agreement re
garding the religious education of her
children. which she claimed to have
signed without knowledge of it's con-
tents.
Following her on the stand came r.
L Johnson, formerly a chauffeur for
Lemp, who told of various midnight
rides which Lemp took, number of
women being mentioned as being pres
