Hrices ere Steadier and Operators
Seek to Close Pending Deals.

New York, Sept. 5.-The net re-
suit Of the publication of an unex-
pectedly low government crop condj-
ton report on the market for cotton
goods and yarns was steadying of
prices and noticeable increase in the
desire Of large operators to close all
pending deals for goods to be deliv-
cred on contract.
While jobbers have not been able
to bring cotton goods prices up to a
parity of the values prevailing in the
primary market, they are generally
convinced that high level will have
to be paid for new stocks. The To-
cal jobbers had a good week, a spe-
cial sale of dress broadcloths result
ing in distribution of quarter CT a
million dollars worth of fall fabrics.

Paris, Sept. 3.-Prof. Doyen. wei,

SAVE THE LARKS.
Ravages OF Terrible Pest Reach
Alarming Stage I'm Fertile Regions
or COlIetOn County, South Carolina
Area 20 Miles Long and Is Miles
Wide Almost Laid Waste.

Columbia, Sept. 5.-An area OF
crops 20 miles long and Is miles
wide, down in the fertile regions of
Colleton county. almost within strik-
ing distance of the truck farms OF
| CharlestOn-the finest in the world
| Is infested with the deadly wire
worm. For the past two years gov
| ernment. exeprts have been studying
.he life history Of this worm in this
region and recently the work has
been vigorously pushed Preliminary
reports have been made by the gov
ernment men and those from Glenn
son College who have been in Cole
ton working on the problem.
In this strip Of land the wire-worm
has wrought havoc. Farms have
5een abandoned--the crops for the
present year are all we'll nigh ruin
ed. The farmers In Colleton are very
much worried as the pest will doubt
less spread. Close onto the infested
district are the truck farms of Cole
ton and Charleston counties. The
wire worm knows no discrimination
In his destruction Of crops. Feeding
first upon the grasses and then upon
the corn-he finishes up his work of
devastation by consuming everything
else that Is left in the fields. Cotton
Is destroyed acre by acre and the 9TH
er crops fare no better. Once the
ravage begins there Is no way OF put
ting an end--save, perhaps. one.
There Is bird that many farmers
think Is his enemy. Swooping down
upon the fields in the early days Of
the seasons and in the winter espe-
cially. the lark dips his bill into the
ground. The farmers-many of them
think the crops are destroyed. But
II they only knew it. the lark is the
| only salvationn in the fight against
the wire-worm.
The wire-worm-one of the click
| click beetles-is Matched from the
eggs laid in the early spring, appear
ing in May or June. The destruction
comes in the second year OF the exist
| ence. At the time the lark flies ovel
the field the wire-worm is close to
the surface. The lark, whose bill Is
very sensitive, knows in what lands
the food 1t wishes is In the roofing
| into the ground the lark finds the
| wire-worm and destroys it. This is
the only method known today hy
which the wire-worm may be KEEP,

\ BATTLE OF FIVE YEARS
That Much Time Lost Since the New Sentence Dates From Yesterday = The Story of the Long Con test For Freedom.

Prescott. Nov 27.-(SpeciaD-rhe celebrated case of the territory against James P. Storm. ex-treasurer of this county. convicted of the embezzlement of county funds, came to an end this morning when Judge Doe, Obeying a mandate of the supreme court. sen fenced Storm to term of four years in the territorial prison. the sentence dating from today. Storm was at once placed in custody and will be taken to Florence tomorrow morning by Sheriff Smith to begin the serving of his sen tence.
 Several weeks ago Governor Sloan. before whom the case was first tried, was presented with a long petition from Storms friends asking for his pardon. and there is much speculation as to what action the governor will take in the matter
 This is the end of the longest and most hOtly contested criminal case in the courts of this territory It had it's beginning in an event of the cleo tion day of 1904. On the following morning storm was found locked in the vault of the treasurer's office. bound with wire. The vault had been footed. storm said he had been at tackled by two men the afternoon be- fore.
 The story was suspected from the beginning. but no action was taken un- til some months later, when he was in dicted on several>counts for embezzle- ment. IL was stated that his shortage amounted to about $15,00O. Four trials followed the indictments. On the first he was acquitted Then there were two hung juries. On the fourth trial he was convicted and septenced to four years in the territorial prison
 The case was then taken to the su- preme court, which affirmed the judg- ment of the lower court. The case was then taken to the United States cir cult court of appeals at San Francisco, the first criminal case from this ter ritory that ever took such a course. That court ruled adversely to the de- fense on the only point on which the case had been taken up-that Storm having once been acquitted on the blanket charge of embezzlement could not be tried for the embezzIement of any part of the sum he was alleged to have misappropriated.
 The remittitur was sent down last May and at the late meeting of the ter ritorial supreme court, the mandate was sent down to Judge Doe.
