Bugs and Spiders Now Haunt Us

The potato bug is devastating potato
matches throughout the county. In
some places the pest has become so
thick that it is feared the crop will fall
far short.
A spider has also attacked the Gu
cumber vines in the green houses
throughout this section of the State and
great loss has followed in some places.
A fight to exterminate the beetle is
being carried on in the big Ernsberger
green houses, where the spider has
begun to get in its work.

dog. Fearing the tot would be injured

GRIFFIN AND
 ETHEL IN FINAL
 LEAVE TAKING
Condemned Man Embraces Girl and Kisses Her Fervently
 Whie She Weeps
Still Protests His Innocence and Calmly Awaits Procession
 to the GallOwS

London, Nov. 22.-The final inter- view, between Dr. H. H. Crippen, who IS to be hanged, tomorrow morning, and Miss Ethel Clare Leneve, the at tachment between whom led to the murder of Mrs. Crippen, took place, today. It lasted 20 minutes and was even more affecting than their meet ing, yesterday.
 Dr. Crippen had requested that his last meeting with Miss Leneve be in private, but his request was de- nied, and two wardens sat between the condemned man and his para mour. Crippen and the girl were in tears most of the time. Crippen ap- peared the braver of the two and did most of the talking. His attempts however, to lift the cloud of gloom from the girl were sfutiIe and she led to her taxicab after the inter view.
 Crippen embraced Miss Leneve in the final leave-taking and kissed her fervently.
 The wife murderer is standing up and his Jatlers do not believe he will break down before the ordeal is end ed and his life has paid the forfeit for his crime.
 Rumors that Crippen had confess ed are. today, denied emphatically, though they were given wide c1rcu- lation, yesterday. The American still protests his innocence and expresses the hope that his wife will re-appear some day and clear his name.
 William Pferpont, the official exc cutioner, will not spring the trap, to- morrow. The task has been dele gated to Pierpont's assistant, John Ellis. By a strange course of Eng fish law, Ellis, today, is in Penton- vile jail, as much prisoner as Crippen himself. On reaching the prison, Ellis first inspected the gall lows, which had been set up just out side the condemned mans cell. and declared it was in perfect working g order. Ellis then was led to a peep hole in Crippen's cell, through which he studied the doomed man intentiy for some time. He was figuring Crippen's height and weight, so that he would know just how strong rope would be needed and the prop CT length to make it to keep Grip pens feet from touching the ground when the trap is sprung. Ellis then adjusted the rope on the gallows and tested it with heavy sandbags.
 Under the English law, the eXecu- tioner will not be permitted to leave the jail until he has performed his gruesome task.
