NOT THE ROLL wEEvn, BUT
WHAT is 1T?

It's q worm, full grown, meas.
ures about an inch and has a bill
with teeth sharp and keen. 1t is
destroying cotton on the farm OF
Mr.. T. H. Privette. It burrows in
to the boil or matches within, feeds
its pesky self on the germ, destroy
ing and killing the boil and bores
out like an auger. Mr.. Privette
and Mr.. j. w parrow brought a box
full Of the destroyed bolls to the
Messenger office last Saturday.
The editor mailed a few to Clemson
College requesting a report Mr..
Privette discovered the damage done
to his crop a few days ago. Twen-
ty per cent of two rows two acres
long, he said, had been destroyed.
The worm is greenish and resembles
a caterpillar, but is not hairy. Can
any of our farmer readers give
the name Of the worm.?-
The above is from the Hartsville
Messenger. The worm referred to
has made its appearance in this
county. Several days ago a farmer
on Mr.. ]. s. Thompson's place
brought a dozen bolls Of cotton to
The Herald, showing the work Of
the worm. 1t burroughs its way in
to the boil, causing the boil to rot
and drop from the stalk. Messrs. S.
F. Stephens and F H. Hayes who
saw the bolls in The Herald office
we're Of the opinion that the insect
Is known as the wet weather" worm
Excessive rains keep the ground
damp, particularly where the foil
age is very thick, affording the
worm a fertile field in which to
thrive. Mr.. Hayes says the worm
Is not a recent thing. He found
the same worm on his cotton years
cotton, but Mr.. Hayes says they dc
not breed fast enough to do any
material damage. 1t is not the boil
weevil. 1t is the boil worm.

RARDN--KEISTER.

The climax ofavery pretty romance
was reached Friday afternoon, when
W. n. Rardin. well known young
man of Huntington and Miss Hattie
Keister, of Mercer's Bottom, were
pronounced man and wife by Rev.
B. Sparks, of Ironton, Ohio.
Mrs. Rardin is the daughter ofMr.
and Mrs. S. H. Keister, of Mercer's
Bottom, and is a well known young
lady in this city, where she has made
frequent visits in the past. Her faith
er is one of the most prosperous and
popular farmers in the community
where he resides and the family is
considered among the most highly
respected in that section of the coun-
try.
Mr.. Rardin was for number of
years, travelling representative of
the Foster-Mead Hardware company,
and was recently transferred to very
responsible position in that store in
Huntington. He is young man of
exceptional business qualifications,

CHARLESTON
WILL REMAIN DRY UNTIL JULY lST, BE-
GLINING OF NEW LICENSE YEAR.

Failing to get their applications
before the Kanawha county court in
legal manner, thus precluding any
action upon the permits issued by
the municipal authorities, at this
term of the county court, it is gen
orally believed that the Charleston
saloons will remain closed until July
/, 1910, the beginning of the new
license year.
While there has been some agita-
ton about testing the law with ref
erence to the city authorities having
the sole power to issue licenses, since
the opinion of the Kanawba prosecut-
ing attorney, S. V. Avis, was made
public, in which he held that the
sole power to issue State licenses was
vested in the county court, the talk
ofopening the saloons has diminished.
In order to secure licenses for the
new license year, it will be necessary
for the saloonists to secure new per-
mits from the board of affairs and the
city council and present them to the
Kanawha county court at the begin
ming of the June term, publishing
the applications in accordance with
the requirements of the law.
The fact that the applications for
licenses were not published in ac-
cordance with the law guided the
county court yesterday when it re-
fused to consider the applications.
There are no more regular terms OF
the county court before the June
term and consequently the applica,
tions for license cannot be made
again to the county court before
June.

HUNTINGTON MAN
FLINNiMkED WALTER GWYNF Plays
THE PONIES FOR $4,000.

New York, March 5.-Wireless
wire tappers, the polic> have learned,
are active in New York these days.
Walter Gwynn, of Huntington, W.
Va, told the police that he lost SlO,-
600 trying to beat the pool rooms.
He said that he WAS stopping at the
Broadway Central, when he met the
men who got him in bad and it was
all because of southern gentle
man." The southern planter was a
good spender, and Mr.. Gwynn was
impressed. They went to one ofthe
old time dirigible pool rooms. Mr..
Gwynn saw the southern planter put
up lots ofmoney. Monday was fixed
for the time when the big race was
to be played and the killing was to
oe maze. Mr. Gwynn, the pohce
say, telegraphed to his bank for the
money. He turned it over to the
southern gentleman, and they all
waited in house in West Fifty
eighth street for the returns from the
track. Shortly after the money was
pat up messenger came in and said
that there had been mistake, and
the horse had fallen down. Later
Gwynn bought newspaper and saw
that the horse really did win, but
the wireless wiretappers had gone.

fered him, by the. management of
that team, among them were six
pitchers. who would like try-out
here. He has also had a number of
letters from players in Ohio and In
dana, and 1t seems that it will not
be any trouble to ret bunch of
good players here by the time the
season opens.
1t is said that the traction line over
the river and the managers of the
ferryboat have agreed to purchase
literally of the stock, especially if it
is decided to put the park at Kanauga.

has played on aeyeral semi-profession-
al teams in years past, with view
of offering him the captaincy of the

and will be here by the time the
players arrive. Apure white uniform
will be used by the team on the

The West Virginia two-cent fare law
is constitutional on its face, but con-
fscatory as applied to the Coal md
Coke Railroad, according to a de-

confscatory, the road having contest

Three other roads, the Chesapeake

and the Kanawha and Michigan, also
contested the law.
According to todav's finding they
must obey the statute unless they can

would ask to have the injunction OBJ

those roads.
