Worms Running the Cotton
Fields Here

The extent of the caterpillar inya-
sion here in Sumter county is far
greater than supposed and the pe37s
are fairly Kidding the fields. Every
vestige of green, including cotton leav-
es and the tender foliage around the
grown bolls, are deyoured by the mill
lions of caterpillars infesting the
fields here. Mr.. Will Roach reported
yesterday that he had found the pest
in large numbers in his fields, as Well
as in his neighbours cotton, and stalks
were being stripped by the advancing
army. Mr.. Roach will today begin
spraying with liquid poison all of his
cotton of late planting with the hope
Of checking the march of the army of

WILL NOW ARRANGE FOR
HARVESTING OF CROPS
Bows Corn Club to Hold I'm.
pOrtant Meeting

Members of the Sumter County
Boys Corn Club will meet today al
/ o'clock in the Office of County
School Commissioner Moore at the
court house in order to make final ar
engagements for the gathering of the
prize corn crops.
AS this is one of the most import
ant meetings of the club this year
there will doubtless be a large at
tendance present to discuss the mat
ter of arranging for the harvesting
of the crops that are to compete for
the various prizes offered. The en-
thusiasm of the members of the club
has been great, and the competition
for the prizes exceedingly keen.
1t is estimated that the boy in the
state of Georgia who grows the larg-
est proportionate yield of corn will
win as much as $4,000 in prizes of va
rious kinds. The number of prizes Of
fered for the largest yield is unus-
ually large, and the entire array makes
a most tempting and alluring whole
These prizes are both local and from
other parts of the state.
The State Fair Association offers
very acceptable prizes to boy corn
growers, while there are many 9th
er individuals and institutions that
have added to the sum total of prize
money available for this purpose. Sew
eral local merchants have offered val.
liable prizes in merchandise of various
kinds for the boy corn growers of this
county and section.

west FLAT FOOTED
FOR LOWER TARIFF
Poll Of 1000 Editors Shows
No Standpat Sentiment

Chicago, August 4.-Revision Of the
Payne-Aldrich tariff is demanded by
the West
This is demonstrated by the response
of more than 1000 editors in p states
from Ohio to California, to questions
sent out by the Chicago Tribune. An
overwhelming majority Of those who
answered expressed themselves in fav-
.or a general revision" of the tariff.
Many more went on record as fayo'-
ing a revision Schedule by schedule"
or "by a tariff commission" and an
other group objected to a general re-
vision" or to any revision at this
time" but pointed out specific things
they felt should be changed in the
tariff.
Less than one-siXth Of those Vic
answered stood pat" on the present
law.
The questions We're sent out in the
shape Of a printed ballot bearing sew
eraI questions. Returns show that
1898 voted yes" for a general reTi-
sion and 6S5 voted no"
Others-667 in number-quaified
their answers so that they could not
be placed definitely in either of the
first two classes. More than half If
this number, however, fell naturally
into a certain definite classification
and might be known as schedule by
schedule" reyisionists, "piecemeal" re-
yisionists or tariff commission" re-
yisiOnists. These numbered 34S. The
remaining 319 qualified their answers
in such a way as to indicate they were
not in favor of a general revision" at
present, but either intimated or spe-
officially indicated their belief that
some changes should be made in the
Payne-Aldrich schedules.
A large proportion of those who re-
piled in the affirmative could not for
bear to strengthen their approval Of
further tariff revision by such phrases
as decidedly" "of course" you bet
and sure" Many wrote letters TO
accompany their ballots denounGng
the effects of the Payne-Aldrich tariff
and urging many reasons for it's re-
vision. Some hundreds of them felt i
necessary to qualify their answer
'yess' by another word in capitals IN
derlined, and followed by exclamation
points. That word was downward "
Nor were they Democrats alone who
expressed themselves thus.

FIRST WEALTH
is HEALTH
BY Barbara Boyd.

Even a man so concerned with great
philosophical distractions as Emerson
got down to brass tacks when he said
THE first wealth is health" Yet this
a wealth few people consider until
they lose it. They do not value it at
all for the treasure it is.
With health what may man not do,
without it, what can he do? With
health, the world is before him; with
out health, it passes him by.
The one who should try to properly
realize the value of the wealth he has
and to do what he can to preserve it is
the man or woman with health. The
one who has lost his health is usually
making all efforts possible to regain It
But the one who has overf1Owing
health squanders it recklessly.
Obedience tosa few simple laws will
enable one to keep his health. Bat
the one who is healthy, usually reck-
lessly breaks all these laws, and keeps
on breaking them until the conse-
quences are upon him. He smokes too
much and so affects his heart He
eats wrongly, and SO upsets his diges-
| ton. He takes no exercise and gets
little fresh air, and so vitiates his
blood. He seems to think there will
be special dispensation Of proyi-
dence for him, and he will escape all
these ills. But he won't AS sure us
the years follow upon the years, he
will in course of time reap the harvest
Of i'll health he has been sowing. And
all the business success he may have
gathered, perhaps by this very neglect
Of his health, will be of no value to
him. The first wealth is health
These warnings are everywhere, yet
men and women go serenely on to the
fate that is waiting them by the road
