Wants to Get Back Home.
The Charlotte Observer of Saturday
| had a dispatch from winston Salem
to the effect that a white man,
giving his name as Dack La
nier, had applied to the authorities
with a statement that he had killed a
man in York county eight years ago
and although he had been tried and ac-
quilted, he wanted TO get back home
and make reparation as far as possi-
| BILE. The Winston Salem authorities
were in something of quandary as to
how to proceed, and the under
standing was that they would make an
| investigation into Lanier's sanity. II
| is a fact that Dock Lanier killed John
Bolin. a young man in York county
about eight years ago and that he was
tried and acquitted. AS to whether or
not Lanier is mentally unsound cannot
be stated with authority; but people
here who know the man seem to be
of the opinion that he Is trying to
work the North Carolina folks for
passage home.
The Peach Tree Borer.
"a great many Of the peach trees
of this section" says Prof l.. A. Niven,
of Winthrop, ARE being badly dam
aged, or even killed, by the peach
tree borer. The borer Is a white grub
looking very much like the grub that
bores into dead timber. Look care
fully at the base Of the trunk Of the
peach trees, and if you see a gummy
substance you are safe In concluding
that the borer or borers are in tnat
particular tree. The only SucceSSlul
method of combating this insect
is to dig him out and kill him. If
the bodies of the tree trunks are
painted with lime-sulphur wash in
June or July, 1t will have a tendency
to prevent the insects laying on the
tree the egg which causes the borer.
But Is too late to try to prevent for
this season. Go to the tree, rake away
few inches Of the dirt from around
the tree, and find the hole which the
insect has made. They tunnel under
the bark. Trace this hole until the
grub is found. A small piece Of wire
is an excellent instrument to run into
this hole and kill the grub. Remember
that this borer is found only at the
base of the tree. Thousands of peach
trees are being killed by them. Get
busy and don't let yours be among
