Boil Wevil Coming East.

New Orleans, Oct. 1.-THE boil
weevil, in it's fight eastward, has
crossed the line Of the Gulf & Ship
Island railroad in Mississippi and the
farthest advance of the pest is placed
at a point in Rankin county four
miles east of the railroad. This is
the official statement of represen-
tative of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, sasy The Picay-
une in it's review Of cotton conditions,
compiled tonight.
Bonfires were lighted the past week
in many picked over cotton fields in
order to destroy alternating places
for the weevil and fall plowing will
be resorted to in an effort to clear the
soil and put it in thorough condition.
Work is going forward on the con-
struction of the tower and tank for
the city water works, and the tank
will no doubt be ready for the water
in about three weeks. The excava-
ton for the reservoir is also about
completed, and the laying of concrete
will no doubt begin this week. The
whole system ought to be completed
in thirty days and the water will be
ready for the mains. The we'll to
supply water has been bored, and
pure water will be furnished for all
purposes.

MIR. o. p. FOLK DEAD.
Colleton County Loses One Of its
Most Progressive Farmers.

Bamberg, October 14.-Mr. o.
P. Folk, one of the most prominent
citizens of this community, died at
his home a few miles South Of Ehr-
hardt last night, after long and
painful illness. He was one of the
most progressive and successful farm
ers of Colleton County and accumu-
lated considerable property.
He was a devoted member Of the
Methodist Church and was prominent
in church affairs, as we'll as in every
undertaking that affected his COM
munity. Through his efforts Wesley
Chapel, of which church he was a
member, has recently been remod-
elled and practically rebuilt. His
home was the home of the preachers,
and there was no one who entertained
his guests more royalty or with more
pleasure than he. He was truly a
good man and will be sadly missed
in his community.
Mr.. Folk was in the 64th year Of
his age and leaves surviving him a
wife, one little son, two sisters, one
brother and a host of other relatives
and friends.
His remains will be laid to rest
at o'clock this afternoon by the
side Of his first wife, in the beautiful
little cemetery at Wesley Chapel.

Shooting at Festival.

Walterboro, Oct. 1S.-At, an ice
cream festival given Saturday even
ing at Berea, near Smoaks, in the up
per part of this county, Jim Price was
shot and perhaps fatally wounded by
J. Scott Padgett. Price is said to
have been drinking and, it is alleged,
was boisterous and profane in Pad
gett's store before some ladies. Pad
gett told him to be quiet, saying he
would have to put him out. Price re-
piled that he would have to and
cursed Padgett, and, it is reported,
drew his pistol. jPadgett took his
from the. shelf and shot, the ball
striking in the corner Of the right
eye, lodging in the back of the neck.
Price is reported to be fatally wound
ed. Padgett has not been arrested.
A few years ago Price was tried for
murder on the charge Of killing Will
lie Redish. He is out on bail now,
the jury having reported mistrial.

To Review McCue Case.

Washington, Oct. 18.-The su-
preme court of the United States to-
day announced it's determination to
review the findings Of the lower
courts in the case Of McCue VS.. the
Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance
company. This case involves the
question as to whether the ordinary
life assurance policy insures against
hanging under sentence of the law.
McCue is one of the heirs Of the late
Mayor McCue, of Charlottesville, Va,
who was hanged a few years ago on
the charge of numbering his wife.
The insurance company refused to
make payment on policy amounting
to $4,000. The United States cir
cult court for the western district OF
Virginia decided in favor of the COM
pany, holding that death on the gal
lows was not one of the risks against
which McCue was insured, but the
court of appeals for the Fourth cir
cult reversed that finding, and held
in favor of the McCue policy. The
supreme court will go over the entire
record and decide the case upon It's
merits.

Small Fire in Branchville.

Branchville, Oct. 1S.-This morn

the place occupied by c. c. Patterson,
on Main street, was on nre. me

is owned by Mrs. Felicia Meyers, but
Mr.. Patterson has it rented. The loss
was small, due to the fact that the
buildings were old and that there
was not very much in the barn.. The
total loss will not exceed $50. The
origin of the fire is unknown. :,
During the fire ]. D. Byrd almost
had a serious accident. Mr.. Byrd was

Red Cross to Aid Key. West.

Washington, Oct. 1S-For the pur-
pose of affording prompt relief to the
needy storm sufferers at Key West,
the army post at that place is to issue
rations for a few days, the cost OF
which will be borne by the American
National Red Cross society. In the
meantime the organization has under
taken an investigation on its own &C
count and one of it's experts, j. G.
Logan, of Atlanta, Ca, has been di-
rected to proceed Immediately to the
scene of the disaster and report to
Washington the extent of relief and
rehabilitation necessary. The action
taken to-day follows an appeal from
the mayor of Key West for federal
assistance which came to the White
House and by Secretary Carpenter
was sent to the war department and
the Red Cross.

3AMBERG, S. c., THURSDAY OCTOBER IA, 1e
FINDS HIDDEN TREASURE.
Confession of Robber
Lead to Unearthing Of $4,000.

Fayetteville, N. c., Oct. Icon
siderable interest was aroused here
some time ago by mysterious oc-
currence reported by H. P. Davis,
who lives on the east side Of the Cape
Fear river, this occurrence being the
finding on the old Cade place in the
neighborhood, of a deep excavation,
apparently made in digging for some
hidden object, there being evidence
that such had been removed from the
cavity. The hole was near three
large pine trees.
Visions of buried treasure, of ma
rauding soldiers returning to their
long-hidden booty, and even of one
legged pirates and pieces of eight be-
gan to fill the dream Of the denizens
of eastern Cumberland. But now
comes the denouement in the shape
of an unconfirmed rumor that the ex-
cavation was the work Of United
States postal inspectors; that they
had secured a lot of real treasure
and made of with it. The sleuths had
been directed to this spot-so runs
the story-by the death-bed confess
sion of a man "a kind Of modern
Billy Bones), who had lately died In
Atlanta, confessing to postal in
spector that he had once robbed Ger
tain postof1ce, and making his escape
to Fayetteville, had been so hard
pressed by his pursuers that he bur-
led his "swag" near this city at a
spot described by him-the spot of
the mysterious midnight excavation
on the Cade place.
A half dozen inspectors, it is said,
shortly invaded Fayetteville, ostensi-
bly, to continue the investigation Of
the loss of $4,000 from the local
postoffice, about three years ago, but
really in quest of the dead mans
booty. After much searching, 1t is
related, they discovered the spot
sought for and found the treasure as
described.

Mob Seeks to Lynch Little.

Bluefeld, w. Va, Oct. 1S.-Ex-
pecting that Howard Little, charged
with the Meadows murder and arson,
would be removed from jail at Leban-
on and taken to Grundy for trial, a
mob formed last night and proceed
ed toward Honaker, where they ex-
pected to intercept the officers with
Little.
There were rs to 100 horsemen in
the party. The calvacade carried
rifles and pistols and cut the tele-
phone wires between Grundy and Le-
banon. They did not meet the off,
GERS, the transfer not being attempt
ed, it appears.
Feeling is very bitter against Lit
tie, who is alleged to have killed the
Meadows family of six and burned
them in their home at Hurley, Va,
several weeks ago.

Ne9ro's Car Comes to Grief.

St. Matthews, Oct. 18.-On Satur-
day, at Holman's hill, near Creston,
in this county, there was a real up
to-date automobile smashup, the only
missing feature being that no one
was killed.
A negro whose name could not be
ascertained passed through St. Mat
thews Saturday driving very noisy
and dilapidated-looking runabout.
After having stopped at the local gar
age, to have it "fixed," he proceeded
upon his way. The appearance of
his machine and the superabundance
of noise did not seem to detract from
the joysomeness of the drive, and 1t
was with an air of important superb
ority that he whirled into and out OF
town with apparent unconcern, while
the local "cullud" population looked
UPON with admiration and wonder.
Everything seems to have gone
well until he appeared at Ho1man's
hill. Just at the moment he was
nearing the crest Of the hill, which Is
very long and steep, and Is inclosed
with deep bitches and banks on
each side, the steering apparatus be-
came stubborn and refused to yield
to the inclinations of it's master. All
efforts to manage the car seemed only
to increase it's motive power, and as II
realizing it's freedom from control
the theatrical situation seemed to lend
enchantment to the chase. With one
wild bound the car shot down the
steep hill. A straight downward de-
scent being too simple for a startling
demonstration, the car, after having
made half the distance down, did the
regular auto stunt, ducked to the
right and with one mad plunge leap
ed the deep ditch and did the loop
the-loop act upon perpendicular en-
bankment beyond. After climbing
about twice it's length, it tumbled
backward in the ditch below, COM
pletely subdued and demolished run
ava. "Cufy" was pitched upon an
unchosen spot, but picked himself up,
without having sustained any serious
bodily damage, due probably to the
fact that he evidently landed upon
his head.
Nothing of the ownership of the
car or the destination of the driver
was learned except that he reported
himself as being from Columbia.
